    I had a pair of Phillips BCH and traded them in for the Shokz. I didn't like the bulky build of them. Shokz open run doesn't bother me with the charger cable ordered an extra one and I'm good to go. Sound wasn't bad on Phillips but that bass mode was just vibration to me. The music I like...rock music sounds good in the Shokz, and I felt it much superior to the Phillips in general. Nice review thank you!

    I don't mind the charger yet, but I get there may be benefits. These style ports are a smaller form factor and probably easier to waterproof. Garmin FR55 uses a custom form factor as well.

    I have the shokz open run, they are ok, but definitely purpose specific. They are good for when I need the situation awareness but if I don't I definitely prefer more traditional earbuds or full headphones. Music is kinda muffled with bone conduction and at higher volumes the vibrations kinda hurt my head.

  • @onlymyopiniontech
    @onlymyopiniontech Před 9 měsíci +1

    One thing to consider, are you going to use your headset to actually talk on your phone? Shokz has a version with a short boom mic and while it may not seem like it would make a lot of difference, it does.
    Especially if you are using these in a business environment, you're better off with the boom mic. If you just listen and don't use them to talk do what makes you happy.
    My opinion on the sound is that any of these are not sound quality headsets and it seems to me (without trying them) the extra bass would bother me. Even the Shokz tend to vibrate enough on heavy bass that it more or less "tickles" my neck. I don't think I'd care for even more vibration.
    I'll deal with the proprietary charge cable for the additional call quality to the other party.

    My Shokz were extremely uncomfortable. I work 12 hour shifts, and the tops of my ears were raw and sore. This may depend on head/face shape as well. After a year and a half of wearing them 4-5 days a week, the left side "internal speaker" detached from the housing, and began to rattle. Customer service was ZERO help.

    • @GremlinSciences
      @GremlinSciences Před 7 měsíci

      You can, but it won't offer the same level of waterproofing.@@davidruiz7669 Magnetic charging allows for the entire body of the device to be _completely_ sealed and can even have full fault prevention which stops faults from occurring, while USB-C ports require an opening in the device which is very difficult to seal and only have fault protection which prevents a fault in the charging port from causing damage.
      Basically, you can throw most devices with magnetic charging in the water and they'll be just fine, you can even go swimming with them, but a USB-C device with a magnetic charging adapter can get waterlogged and short internally with just a bad splash

    You mentioned shokz having a downside about the charger. They do come with 2 but to put it into perspective I’ve had my set of aeropex by aftershokz for about 3 years now. I wear them literally every single day and my first charger is still working absolutely fine. When I first got them they would last about 16 hours with constant use. Now I only get about 12 hours with literal constant use. If for no other reason the battery life is the biggest reason to purchase these. My wife has the cheaper version of my headphones by the same company and she has a very similar battery life experience to mine. And hers are about 4 months older than mine. I still haven’t tried other brands but I don’t think I need to. I’m happy with these things.

    Shokz/Aftershokz on their older models had a MicroUSB charger with a flap to make it more water resistant. They went with a proprietary magnetic charge cable and I thought great another cable to carry. After having them for awhile, I really do like the magnetic connector. I believe it has better waterproofing and you don't have to deal with the flap.

      Much appreciated Oswaldo! if the charger isn't a deal breaker I have 4 bone conducting headphones (Shokz OpenRun, OpenRun Pro, Klatree and now the Phillips) I can barely notice a difference on any of them (from comfort to audio) but the Phillips because of the tad increase in size its much louder, and its USB C. All of them are ip67, same 9, 10 hour battery life. At this point I would go by design. I do like the Shokz open run color selection, but I am using the Phillips over the 4 of them. Hope this helps.

    Can see it seeping into the port and looks like it's starting to corrode.
    To each their own though, I just sweat too much lol

    OK, the one thing I don't like on them is that you need to download an app to use it, and you have no control buttons on it.
    My old pair of bluetooth headset I used for running just used normal bluetooth, connected to it, and I controlled everything via the watch, including sound quality.
    For me, to have to install another app is a total deal breaker, and i don't even want to know what type of information Philipps is stealing form your phone, like location data, contacts aso.

    If we are talking about sound quality, bone conduction headphones can't compare to in ear headphones. I only use bone conductive headphones for swimming, and because they have to be sealed you need a proprietary cable for charging and file transfer.. having a usb socket on bone conducting headphones defeats the purpose of why these even exist. You can get 10x better sound from 20$ earbuds and if you want to hear your surroundings you can buy earbuds with pass through and they will still be cheaper than bone conducting headphones.

    I get severe ear pain from using earbuds or on-ear headphones (I mean the kind of pain that turns my ears bright red).
    (I'd need those custom molded earbuds but they cost over 1000 USD and I cannot afford that).
    And over-ear headphones are way to bulky to train with.
    Bone conduction could be the only option for me.
    But it seems the bass/thump is not really that good on bone conduction.
    Which one is the absolute best in terms of audio quality? Or should I wait longer for new technology? I don't expect some godlike bass/thump, but it should be noticeable.

    • @shezamshazam9345

      Well, in my search model K7 is the best rated, after there is CS05, X7,
      I have these prefered settings:
      1.True Bone Conduction, must be BC
      2.Bone Conduction tends to be lower so I pinmark reported nice volume.
      3. Battery life. I've seen complain I certains models that it last 2h - 0.5h
      4. Non BT functionality. I prefer internal storage over SD card I believe. This has led me to headsets you may swim with.
      *IP68 would be nice, as I planned sweating on them xD but some waterproofing grade at least ❤
      Maybe more buttons because I prefer that rather than clicking to or three times, long pauses etc for different actions.
      If I could move forward or backward the track... ❤
      Think non proprietary chargers would be nice but l they put magnetic charge mostly for the water

    I'm sorry, but I find it hard to justify . the sound quality of bone conductors in general is inferior no matter what you do . paying 100$ will result in the same sound quality of no-brand 20-40$ bone conducting headphones.I tested it and was surprised. Going underwater a USB-C connector becomes a real downside . the magnetic 4 pin cable is the way to keep the headphones IP68 waterproof. many Chinese brands today make good bone conducting headphones. not the crap it used to be.

    I came here while looking for info about the magnetic cable. It is HORRIBLE. It's so unreliable. If it gets disturbed even the slightest bit while charging, it loses connection. And not only does it stop charging, but it seems to somehow DRAIN the battery. I have had my Shokz on the charger all night, but when I got to them, no light was on, red or blue. I tried them, and they won't even turn on. Praise God, I have a spare set of corded earphones because I already knew this was an issue.
    The headphones themselves are superb. I even love the sound quality and the volume is plenty for me. I can sleep in them and never know they're there. But why, WHY did they have to use this stupid gee-whiz proprietary tech for charging?

    My family have a Shokz Openrun, a Philips 6606, and a Wissonly Hi Runner. Share a little of my experience
    SHOKZ is undoubtedly excellent in terms of sound quality, wearing comfort, and battery capacity, but unfortunately, the progress of SHOKZ in the past two years has been limited. Many new brands surpass it in terms of functionality and performance.
    Philips' products are very user-friendly, and I am deeply impressed by the night light features and app controls of Philips 6606. But its other performance is relatively average, such as low waterproof level, single playback mode, etc
    In terms of sound quality, it is difficult to compare the sound quality of bone conduction headphones with that of common earphones, but the sound quality of bone conduction headphones with a price higher than 50 dollars is good. There is not much difference in sound quality between Shokz and Philips, and I can accept both.
    The main reason for buying the Wissonly Hi Runner is because I want to use it while swimming. It has a waterproof grade of IPX8 and has an MP3 mode specifically designed for swimming (with 32G built-in storage), which meets my requirements. In terms of sound quality, it is similar to the other two products.This product has been in use for several months and has been working well so far

I consider myself lucky to locally buy an unbranded set that's a step up from my Samsung A52 phone speakers, and sounds "decent" for music. Maybe still on E-bay... Snobbery aside, I do also think that lil' phone speakers have come a long way.
