These may not fit on your head!!
This had really good reviews which I was excited about; the thing I didn't think to check is if it would fit on my head. I'm a 5'4" female with a small-ish head; I couldn't even get these to stay on my head at all, much less with any movement. If you have a average to large head you should be good! If you have a small head wait until they come out with something for us :)

Excellent fit and value
The Playtime Open-Ear Wireless Sports Headsets w/ Mic is an excellent value. By design, it fits a variety of head shapes and sizes very comfortably and discreetly, fitting comfortably over eyeglasses. Even the flashing blue LED that indicates a paired state is not obvious unless one looks for it.The only fault is that phone conversations can be overwhelmed by continuous noise, but that is true of most open-ear headsets. It does offer several equalization curves, but I haven't found one that addresses this well yet.Overall, this headset is more comfortable and less fragile than ones I have owned that cost several times more than this one.

Great Headphones, but small buttons and indicator light, short charging cable
I've had these for a week now, and have run with them 3 times. More Pros than cons:Pros:1. Comfortable and not restrictive in head movements (to check blind spots)2. Off Ear tech that allows for hearing other sounds when running3. Great Sound and good battery life (so far)!4. Very reasonable priceCons:1. Very small black buttons--hard to find when wearing, and blend in to the black housing2. Very small and dim Red/Blue indicator light, have to be looking directly at it3. Very short (less than 12") recharging cableOverall, Pros outshine the cons. I would recomend this product over in ear bluetooth or wired headphones

The best wireless headset I have ever had.
This is my first bone conduction headset. I was afraid if it will be good. It is over my expectations.It is extremely comfortable. Stays in place, does not move, does not produce the feeling of fullness in the ears. Does not interfere with wearing glasses all the day.The sound is almost perfect. Maybe not the best choice for listening to classical music but good enough to do so.It connects easily to my Android phone and my laptops. Sometimes it is necessary to stop the BT of the phone for connecting to a computer but it is OK: easy and quick when you know what you are doing.Meanwhile, the ears are completely open to hearing whatever happens around walking, driving,...

Good headphone
I have never been a fan of earbuds. They fit for a few minutes and then it is a constant struggle with getting them to stay put. This is only amplified when running. My old headphones started having battery issues, so it was time to upgrade. A lot of runner friends recommend the bone conducting ones. Their comfort is pretty good. I wear them with my glasses and they're fine. I've worn them with a hat and they're fine. I was worried that they would bounce around since there is so much extra material at the back, but the tension on the ears is enough that this isn't an issue, but not so much that its painful.My biggest issue with these is the sound quality. If expecting the same experience as some earbuds or over ear headphones one will be disappointed. It isn't that the quality is bad, just not anywhere near as good. Most of the high end is trimmed off. I'm pretty sure this is just a technology issue. Also since these are open ear, any road traffic or whatnot can overwhelm the audio. On the other side of that, I am more aware of traffic than I was before. All in all, I am generally pretty happy with these so far. I will update this after I've run a 100 miles with them.

Maybe not sweatproof. 2 sets failed
First set of headphones shorted out during 4th workout. It began powering off/on continuously until not responding. Having nowhere else to put them, I left the headphones on to complete workout. They later overheated/burned out and are now entirely non-responsive.Update: As always, Amazon is great with exchanges. The replacement headphones failed during their 3rd use. It is stuck powered on and connected to phone, but none of the buttons are working (power, volume, phone). i am now returning to find another brand. The "bone conducting" concept is great for being able to listen to whatever while still hearing surrounding noise. I liked them when running on streets, but these are unreliable.

NOT Bone Conduction
I was hopeful when these arrived. I charged them up and popped them on My head. Once paired they sounded, as many have said, passable. As others have said, as well, these are speakers that sit by your ears, not bone conduction. I tested it by pushing the speaker against my forehead. Had it been more than some little speakers, I would have heard it transmitted through My skull. This was not the case. I will say they were comfortable, and very light. I returned them for refund, the next day.

Great set of headphones
I purchased these headphones to get away from the in ear buds that continuously fall out of my ears during my run. These headphones fit great and do not fall off. Sound is very good quality. It is nice having the option to have my ears unobstructed when I want to hear everything around me or if I want more sound, I just insert the ear plugs. I did have an issue with the first set I received and requested a replacement through Amazon. I had the same issue with the second set and contacted support by email. They responded in a timely manner and were very helpful and offered to send a replacement set out as soon as possible. I agreed to try another set because I liked them, when they worked, and requested they send the replacements.3/7/19 Update: I was told a replacement set would be sent, but never received them. I contacted support asking for an e.t.a. on when I would receive them, but have not heard a word since I was informed a new set would be sent. I have requested a refund through Amazon. Since the second pair had the same issue as the first, I would not recommend ordering these headphones.
