CXKBone Conduction Headphones Bluetooth 5.4 Open Ear Headphones with Mic, Premium Loud Sound 10Hrs Playtime Bluetooth Headphones, IPX6 Waterproof Sports Headset for Running, Cycling, WalkingClimatePartner certified

This is a bone conduction headset, so it operates differently than normal in-ear or over-ear earbuds. In fact, it doesn't cover the ear at all; your ear canal is completely unobstructed. Rather, the disks you see sit against the skin of your head just in front of your ears (just in front of the tragus -- look it up!), leaving your ears completely open. You can't hear any sound from the headphones if the disks are more than an inch or so away from your head, so you could be playing these at max volume and the person sitting next to you wouldn't be able to hear anything.Plus, since your own ears are not covered, you can also hear ambient sound. That is a plus and minus: if you are on a plane or public transit watching a movie on your phone and want to shut out sound around you, this is a bad choice. But if you're listing to music while on a run or (particularly) a bike ride, and for safety sake you need to be able to hear ambient noise (a passing car or someone shouting out a warning), these are perfect. I primarily use headphones while running or working out, so I need to be able to hear outside sounds, and earbuds (or particularly over-the-ear headphones) could be dangerous -- I won't use headphones while bike riding because the danger from not hearing an approaching car could be deadly. But these are perfect for bike riding.The quality of the sound is good -- again, it takes a little getting used to, hearing through your skull rather than your ears. I don't see any drop-off between regular earbuds and these in terms of sound enjoyment.Only downside -- because volume depends on contact with the skin, the headset moves a little when you move your head (especially when you look directly up), which can impact the volume. Again, it just takes a little getting used to.Quality is good, battery life seems good so far. The on-off button must be pressed for 3 seconds to turn on and 5 seconds to turn off, which is longer than other headsets; and if you take it off and set it down while it's still connected, you'll run down the battery without knowing it (because you can't hear that it's still on). One other thing to get used to. The other buttons are easy to use, and they're spaced far enough apart to be able to use without looking.I've been wearing these exclusively for the last week or so after getting them, and I think they'll be my go-to for workouts. They'll definitely be my go-to for bike rides, since I can easily wear them with a bike helmet on, too.

Ok so first things first if you are looking for one of the best open ear headphones then you dont need to look any further because the sound quality is amazing the volume control is perfect there very lightweight the design is perfect the comfort is amazing plus the connectivity is A+ if i was you i would grab this before there gone

I really like these CXK bone conduction earbuds—they're lightweight, have great sound quality for open-ear headphones, and are perfect for staying aware of my surroundings while running or walking. The Bluetooth 5.3 connection is super quick and stable, and the 8-hour battery life easily gets me through workouts and daily use.The IPX6 waterproof rating is also a big plus for sweaty gym sessions or running in light rain. My only complaint is that they're a little big for my head, so they don’t fit as snugly as I’d like. They stay on, but with a looser feel.Still, they’re comfortable, work well, and I love the cute peach color! Solid four stars—just wish they came in multiple size options.

I purchased these headsets, curious on how they actually work. I have a hard time poking ear buds in my ear as it becomes uncomfortable after a while or they pop out. This seemed worth a try. I am surprised at how good it sounds yet I can still hear what's going on around me. At work or walking my dog. You can feel the bass vibrate against your upper jaw which seemed strange at first but I don't even notice it anymore. I've had these for a month now. They last all day, easily 8 hrs but they do take a long time to charge. At least 6 hours but the price is worth it, and honestly, you don't need to be plugged in all day either. Im buying a second pair for a gift.

Update: After posting my initial review (see below) the seller contacted me. Their efforts to address my concerns have resulted in me upgrading my review to 3 stars. I would give the seller more stars but I don't want that to be misleading for people looking to buy these bone conduction headphones. For that particular product, my 2 star review stands. However, the seller suggested I try a similar product, EP03, although they are NOT bone conduction. These are open-ear headphones, two separate pieces that wrap around each ear and set near the ear opening, not in it. I had been skeptical but am pleased with the product overall. They give the same open ear experience but it does not have the big loop around the back of the head that was so uncomfortable on the original headphones. Also, though the call quality was described as bit "tinny", the quality far surpassed the bone conduction headphones. It took a bit to get used to the controls, and it is missing a "skip back" or "previous" option, but I'm pleased with this other option. If you're looking for an open ear headphone, I suggest you check out the seller's other options. It doesn't have to be bone conduction to give you good sound quality.Initial Review for these bone conduction headphones 2 stars: While it says these are adjustable, the adjustment entails pulling the sides together a bit, which does not fix the problem that the loop sticks out too far in the back. If you're wearing a coat or a collared shirt, these are constantly being hit. They also sit uncomfortably around the top/front of the ear and I have to take them off and massage the area. The call quality is absolutely terrible. I can hear people just fine but they cannot understand me and I have to disable these when I take a call. The buttons are okay, but the main button in the middle SHOULD be slightly different or bigger. They are all close to each other, and with the small size I am constantly hitting the wrong button. Sometimes, even when I manage to hit the right button, they don't seem to connect as the music does not start or pause. I previously bought a similar pair a year before (similar $) but those are no longer available on Amazon. They were comfortable, responsive, and the call quality was great. I know there are good quality bone conduction headphones at a low price, but these are not. The only plus is that I can hear the music, caller, or audiobook just fine.
