"fit nice with hardhat/weld hood, safety glasses, ear plugs and even a respirator too."
"it’s superb for swimming cycling and running and allows me to keep audio awareness on the move."
"Prefer to be alive and in one piece so the “lower quality” sound isn’t an issue. ... Unfortunately had a dog sneak up on me once and then was almost hit by a car I didn’t hear coming that blew past a stop sign."

"I ’m a very sweaty exerciser, hated the idea of over the ear headphones, and airpods always slipped out of my ears. Have had no issues at all with my shoks"
"I have the shockz ones with the band around the back of the head and I dont even get the headphone bobble feel. ... You won't get the bobble noise either because they are bone conducting."
"have worn them every day since on my runs and I love them."

"mine snapped very easy just from taking it off my head after a run ... snapped too easy and for the price I paid, a tad disappointing. ... my Shokz pro has just broke from the back after removing it from my head, very disappointed it snapped this easy"
"Yeah I’ve gone through 2 pairs in just over two years. ... They warranties one but wouldn’t the second because they were from the claim."
"But long term, every pair I've owned craps out after a year or two, and they are not repairable."

"the in either of the aforementioned settings the volume can max out a bit low when there’s a lot of noise around me."

"I have the non Bluetooth swimming ones and they sound horrendous ... I have the waterproof Shockz and the audio is so bad"
"The sound quality isn’t *fantastic*… I wouldn’t listen to an audiobook or brand new music where you need to really hear every word in detail"
"not as good for musical sound quality obviously since they don't seal up your ear and sit just outside your earholes."

"It’s a bit of a pain to get music onto them (convert YouTubes to mp3 or dig up your old iTunes library)"
These! Plus, I have the Open Swim Pro. Waterproof, and you can download to it because Bluetooth doesn't work underwater.
r/audible • What earbuds do you use? ->Openswim pro de Shokz, à conduction osseuse car j'aime ne pas m'isoler totalement de l'extérieur et ils résistent à l'eau et à la transpiration, très simples à laver (je prends ma douche avec). Je ne jure que par eux et je les conseille vraiment
r/FitnessFrance • Salut tout le monde, j’hésite entre un casque et des écouteurs pour la salle, vos avis svp (Actuellement avec des écouteurs filaires 💀) ->I have the OpenRun Pro and OpenSwim Pro, I can notice a difference in sound between the two (RunPro being better), but OpenSwim Pro are still great and have MP3 mode as well.
r/trailrunning • Open / Bone Conduction Earphones for someone who sweats a lot ->I have the non Bluetooth swimming ones and they sound horrendous (but better than nothing for swimming). What’s the sound profile like? Especially the bass?
r/trailrunning • Runner friends, headphones for running that you love? ->I have the waterproof Shockz and the audio is so bad (but great for swimming)
r/trailrunning • Runner friends, headphones for running that you love? ->Shokz Open Swim Pro, all the way.
r/triathlon • Waterproof wireless headphones? ->Try shokz open ear headphones. I have the openswim pro set and it’s superb for swimming cycling and running and allows me to keep audio awareness on the move.
r/bicycling • Best earphones for cycling ->If you buy expecting an immersive, noise cancelling experience, you’ll be disappointed… the product is trying to achieve the exact opposite… on the Openswim Pro (and earlier Opensiwm model) there is a basic swimming mode / regular mode toggle setting that alters the audio to suit wearing ear plugs or not (in swim mode it’s best to wear)… I found that in the gym I enjoy using them, but the in either of the aforementioned settings the volume can max out a bit low when there’s a lot of noise around me. Then again they are more secure than EarPods and more comfortable than over ear options, so tend to be my go-to regardless.
r/bicycling • Best earphones for cycling ->Shokz, buy the open swim, less quality but significantly better for rainy days. Or just airpod pro, well only cons is stinky earwax
r/trailrunning • Which good RUNNING headphones are worth buying as of today? ->I ended up buying the shockz openswim cause I want to be able to have playlists and shuffle and whatnot so hopefully I made the right decision!
r/Swimming • Any recommendations for underwater earbuds ->The openswim haedphones I purchased are mp3 player no Bluetooth so they don’t support streaming, I’d assume the openswim pros would as they support Bluetooth for running, the way I downloaded my songs from Spotify is an app called deemix
r/Swimming • Any recommendations for underwater earbuds ->I have small ear canals and migraines - I use my shokz when my head/hears are extra sensitive and my bose quietcomfort ultras (the only earbuds that have ever stayed in my ears) when I really want to *listen* to music
r/Hypermobility • Headphones for sensitive ears ->If you're ear canals are too small like my wife's then they may not be a fit for you either (you can try foam tips that can compress down as well). What she ended up getting were the Soundcore sleep buds that are meant to go deeper in your ear for side sleeping and just using them as regular buds because they can actually fit. They aren't as good as the B3P of course, but they won't matter how good if they don't fit. Another option are those Shokz bone-conduction ones that don't go in your ear and just play from the outside. Great for calls (I have 3 pairs for work, lol) but not as good for musical sound quality obviously since they don't seal up your ear and sit just outside your earholes.
r/galaxybuds • Galaxy buds 3 pro for small ears and ear canals ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
