Is it safe to use bone conduction headphones while riding?

I use bone conduction headphones. They are great. The best thing is cats approaching from behind don’t scare the crap out of you when they suddenly appear out of the corner of your eye. I’ve tried AirPods with passthru and shockz bone conduction headphones. The battery lasts longer on the shokz.

Special bday present for the Mrs?

How about some shockz headphones? Useful for when she is walking the little one, as you can still hear all the ambient noise around you, including the baby. https://www.harveynorman.ie/shokz/

Overlistening damaging hearing?

2nd these, I still have a time and place for AirPods but my shockz took over 80% of listening duty and my ears feel less fatigued. Also work well with foam ear protection in, or with cans over them, if I’m doing something noisy. Now hoping they make a pair without the back band cause I still use the

Shockz OpenFit earbuds?

I don’t have experience with the OpenFit, but I have the OpenRun Pro 2 and never notice the band. I prefer them over my AirPods and Beats Fit Pro because I feel like the buds never fit in my ears properly. I like how Shokz fit around my ears and I never have to worry about them slipping out on parti

audio cues through apple workout app - possible?

Before buying something new as a fix, I’d first recommend just trying to ensure your AirPods are connecting to your watch, not your phone, via your watch Bluetooth settings. Easy enough. That may mostly resolve the issue for you. Then you can independently decide on Shockz — though, for me, it did c

Recs for the best bone conductor head phones

I have both Shokz and Zygo. The Zygo lasts up to 2 hours but as it loses power it makes an annoying clunking sound. The Shokz are great but it’s a pain to have to convert music to mp3 thru a third party service and also I discovered that the shuffle mode doesn’t really shuffle it just skips a certai

Any thoughts on Raycon open earbuds?

I have the same issue of wireless earbuds (countless testing of friends, and even two that i’ve been gifted) but they don’t stay in my ears no matter what I do. Raycon are personally my all-time favorite when it comes to modern headphones. However: I will say that the Open Earbuds—Including the Fitn

Bose Ultra Open Ear Buds - pros and cons please!

Thanks all for your feedback. Did some further research and might go for the Shokz OpenFits as they seem to have better reviews on sound leakage in the gym and microphone use for calls. I’ll need them for work too, and seems like the overall experience with the microphone and battery life for the pr

When did you get your first running headphones after you started running?

I needed music my first run! I did wired (pre lightning) then AirPods but didn’t like issues you noted not to mention the grime and ear goo buildup. Tried bone conduction about 3 years ago and it’s way better. I made a recent post about shockz and was grilled by quite a few peeps. To me it seemed li

What earbuds do you use for city riding?

Shokz (or other.bone induction) are literally the answer to this question I also sometimes use open ear buds (I tried a few. I've some soundcores that do the job) to swap them for when they are charging on very long rides as well - my shockz are only good for 8-9 hours or so of solid play time.
