I take daily walks usually around 2 hours, listening to podcasts as I walk - and I use a variety of headphones throughout the year. I really like the open-ear bone conduction design of these headphones. I also own the Shockx open-ear headphones which at the present time cost 2-4 times as much as this product. In addition to the open-ear models, I use an over-the-ear model in winter and I carry earbuds in my pack as a backup/spare battery.What's good:+ very comfortable, fits well for short or long hair, doesn't rub or dislodge with glasses or hat (see pictures); round transducer makes the angle they sit at very flexible and can fit any cranial anatomy. I think these would be more adaptable to head shapes than the shockx.+ sound is very clear (voice or music), on par with the more expensive shockx; the "crackling" that can occur at high volumes is minimal and also very similar to the shockx.+ very secure, these do not easily dislodge even if you bump them - I wore them while crawling around under a car doing repair work and they worked well even as I leaned on them, rubbed against hard surfaces, etc.+ the controls are moisture-resistant, sealed by a single piece flex membrane.+ bluetooth pairing is easy and stable - I've experienced zero issues after about 40 hours of useWhat could be improved:- battery life is good but not as good as the shockx - I got about 18 hours which is fine if you charge them every few days; the bluetooth connection lets you know the battery charge percent so this is easy to manage.- since the controls are bunched together, you must feel for the middle button to pause (see picture)... this is probably the most often used function for me as I may stop to talk to people. The shockx put the pause control all on its own on the left ear, much easier to quickly activate (but also not sealed as well as these controls are against moisture, so could be a tradeoff). That said, I had no trouble activating the pause function on these once I got the hang of it.Summary: excellent value compared to more expensive products, and you don't give up anything in terms of comfort or sound quality.Disclaimer: the product manufacturer requested that I review this product, with no conditions about the content of the review - which I was happy to do!
