CXK Bone Conduction Headphones, Open Ear Headphones Bluetooth 6.0 with Mic | Balanced Audio, 10H Playtime, IPX6 Waterproof, Secure Fit Bone Conduction Earbuds for Workouts

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.

Are you d/Deaf or hard of hearing? Do you wear hearing aids that don't have great music streaming quality, and you can't wear earbuds with them? My friends, this is the solution. I had tried a bone conduction walkie-talkie headset at a previous job and it had been a pretty good upgrade compared to the on-ear headset that broke my receiver wire and certainly did not help the asymmetry of my hearing loss. So I was pretty hopeful that a bone conduction Bluetooth headset would work, now that I'm in a role where everyone's listening to music all the time but I still need my hearing aids on. First thing I have to say: PEOPLE AROUND YOU **CAN** HEAR THIS. I tested it with two family members with great hearing and they heard it well enough standing a few feet away from me. However, working in a noisy environment as I do, it's no big deal. But if you yourself are looking for a solution that's silent to those around you, this ain't it. The headset fits great around the back of my head, and let me tell you, I have a BIG head. If you have thick hair like I do as well, you may find that you need to tuck the back loop underneath your hair for better comfort. I tested the sound quality a few different ways: - no hearing aids, no earplugs - with earplugs (included) - wearing hearing aids, but powered off - wearing hearing aids, powered on None of these gave any reduction in sound quality, no muffling effects. Clear transmission through and through. They are comfortable enough to wear for the entirety of an 8-9-hour day at work. Unlike my hearing aids, which pitch hissyfits if they have to try and communicate via Bluetooth while my phone is in my jeans pocket, these have no issue with Bluetooth connection regardless of pocket placement. I'll say that they can slip out of place or go askew at times but usually not. Also, a huge selling point is that they have CONTROL BUTTONS!! 3 buttons on the right-hand side to play/pause, skip forward, rewind, and increase/reduce volume. An excellent feature since bosses don't love when you pull your phone out to mess with your music. I've had no issues with durability or quality yet and it's been a few months. They haven't broken, decreased performance quality, or even chipped their paint or anything so far. Especially if you, like me, feel a bit unsure about shelling out for a higher-priced headset like from the SHOKZ brand, this is a great set to test out if bone conduction headsets are going to work for you.

Worked for a bit and had good sound when it worked. After a while, it started sending random signals including changing volume constantly, jumping forward and backward in music. These headphones also no longer would respond to volume change commands via the buttons. Re-pairing multiple times did not help. This happened when connected to multiple systems (phones and computers), so the issue is with the headphones. In the end, I went back to other systems I have. The sound is good, but that is hard to use when the system does not behave. Update: the company did replace the headphones with a new set. The new ones are a bit different and so far are working well. Updates stars for customer service.

I almost returned this headset because the sound was too low to be useful. If you have an iPhone (I hate mine, horrible technology and UI), make sure to set is as a speaker to be able to get full volume out of the headset. Once I did this, the headset is great!

I bought two units to alternate use during charging. One unit stopped charging after several months of use. I contacted support and Carol was courteous and quick to send me a new replacement unit. The headphones are great for work and exercising allows me to hear people and on coming traffic while enjoying music and podcasts. Thank you Carol.

I got mine about two months ago, they’re alright. The power button is a bit finicky and it’s hard to understand the quiet voice saying if it’s turning on or off, checking the power light doesn’t help since it blinks so irregularly. The rubber band is flexible meaning it’s easy to throw in a pocket without damage. Though the adjusting the band for a secure fit has not worked for me, it just makes it pop off my head. They aren’t super loud, and if you need to turn it up don’t be watching something inappropriate in public cause it isn’t a “bone conductor” it’s just a speaker near your ear and the louder it is, the more the people around you can hear. I appreciate the skip/pause controls. Oh and the battery life so far is great, I work 12 hour shifts and it’ll have power for at least 8 hours straight.

I wasn’t completely sure what to expect with this types of headphone. I was very curious to try them. The sound quality was good, although not like a high-end stereo, but I do like the fact that I can hear other people talking and able to use them in a different way than my noise canceling headphones. They allow me to be aware of my surroundings and still listen to the audio coming through. It works great for listening to audiobooks! They are very light easy to charge work great with making calls and receiving calls. Have not had any issues with this product. Customer service is excellent! Gabby was right there to answer any questions that I had and provide any information that I needed to make the most of these headphones!! Best customer service I’ve had with any audio product I’ve ever purchased!!!

Had it for about 3 weeks and really like it. It’s comfortable and sounds fine for listening to spoken voice. I would have given it 5 stars except for one thing. I need to turn the Bluetooth off on my phone and then turn it on again in order to sync to the headphones. Not intuitive.

Very nice 👍
