KSCAT-Nice5-Bone Conduction Bluetooth Headphones with Mic, IP6X Waterproof Wireless Earphones for Running,Hiking -Black

Arrived on time and came with a nice box that you can use when not using the headphone. When using the head phone in the gym very good sound and still aware of surroundings. I must say the best use for these head phones are when I'm walking the dog along the canal, i am able to enjoy listening to music, whilst been aware of cyclist and other things happening on the canal. Very good sound, fits well and very well built.

I got these for use in half marathons and marathons where you are (apparently) not supposed to wear in-ear type headphones.Having never tried bone conducting headphones before I was a bit concerned about comfort, weight, stability and sound volume. So these are my views having done a half marathon and a 10 mile road run.1. Comfort, they are pretty comfortable and didn't cause me any issues when doing a half marathon. I had sideburns and they stop the headphones from making good contact with the skin so dont buy this type of headphone if you have facial hair.You cannot adjust the size of the strap so they either fit or don't which is an issue. Medium to large size heads only for these.2. Weight. They look and feel pretty bulky with the strap round the back of the neck being quite chunky. I'm not a fan of this arrangement but actually didn't really notice when running.3. Stability. Because you can't adjust the strap it means that you have to have the headphones sit where they fall on your head. It's a pretty annoying flaw since these headphones are slightly too big for me and so the sound panels don't sit in the optimal part in front of my ears.This also means that they can move around a little. However, not as much as I thought they would considering they are not plugged into your ear, which automatically holds the headphones in the right place.5. Sound volume. Because they don't sit in the optimal part of my head they are quieter than they could be.I listen to audio books when running so the noise is quieter than music would be anyway, but I find these headphones too quiet. Even on full volume normal road traffic drowns out the noise of the headphones.Now I know the point of bone conducting headphones is so you can hear what is going on around you, but this means that these headphones are a compromise which doesn't work unless you run off road or along quiet roads. If you are running in any kind of arranged run with supporters you will not be able to hear the music over the noise of the crowds. This is likely a problem with all bone conduction headphones and not specific to these ones.I'm not an audiophile and as mentioned I listen to books when running so can't comment on the quality of the sound.I no longer use these headphones for running as they are too quiet.Hope you found this helpful.

I can compare these to the other bone conduction headphones I've had.Unlike other brands they are flexible, that means they shouldn't suffer the problem of breakage when you take them on and off (something that other designs really suffer from)It doesn't have an additional headband like other types, this is good inasmuch as you don't sweat so much wearing them, unfortunately, they also slip out of place a lot.Audio quality -indoors is actually very crisp and clear. No bass, but that is not any different from other bone conduction headphones, if you need bass don't buy bone conduction.The seriously major flaw with this design is the unbelievably low volume coming out of the headset. It's noticeably quiet indoors, but outdoors it's awful. ANY wind noise drowns out the sound as do cars passing by on the road, as does sitting on the bus and cycling (which is what I mostly use them for) I can barely tell that they are on and playing music.Volume up 100% on phone and 100% on headphones PLUS EQing the hell out of them and still they're too quiet to hear.VERY disappointing, as the sound quality does sound crisp and clear (when you're indoors and can hear it) and the lack of rigidity in the frame suggests they should last longer than other brands and designs.IF you are only going to use these in a quiet location (probably indoors) then they might be fine for you. For anything else, sadly, I couldn't recommend them. For me, they're not suitable for any activity I was hoping to use them for, so, sadly they're being returned.
