Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • So light you forget it is on, stays put in hard workouts
  • Fuller mids and warmer vocals than usual bone conduction
  • Natural calls with wind handled well
  • Low leakage at moderate volume
  • Fast charging, multipoint, IP55
  • Comfortable, light, works with glasses
  • Better low end than typical bone conduction

Cons

  • Bass has some weight but stays light
  • Band can get in the way lying on your side
  • No isolation at all
  • Expensive for a niche product
  • Less detail and punch than good earbuds
  • Leaks sound when pushed loud in noisy places
  • Band shifts on bench presses or lying down
  • The most impressive open-ear headphone the reviewer has used; pick earbuds instead if you want full immersion.

  • Excellent for outdoor athletes who must stay aware, and decent at a desk too, but pricey and not for audiophiles.

  • SoundGuysNov 2024

    Top of the bone-conduction class with a proven design and app support. Tested US version.

  • Tom's GuideAug 2024

    Editor's Choice with the best sound they have heard from bone conduction, though cheaper options are better value. Tested US version.

  • A clear step up for runners and cyclists who need awareness, but still behind earbuds for sound. Tested US version.
