Couldn't understand why you kept turning your head in the traffic test until I realized you're making sure you get the sound from your voice and outside noises from multiple angles. Love when reviewers actually take the time to do proper details like that. 👍
An important consideration concerning the microphone quality: while the initial purpose of the Shokz headphones is exercise I've been meeting more and more Management/Sales/Self-employed people who use them as their main communication tool for calls/meetings as it allows them to keep them on all the time and still be able to communicate face to face due to their ears not being blocked. As such, it might not be a bad idea to consider this use case for future comparisons as I'm noticing it become more and more common.
As a truck driver with sensitive ears and hearing issues due to some eardrum damage, this is the subject that matters a lot to me. I have a pair of aftershocks opencomm, as well as traditional trucker headsets and a $30 Amazon bone conduction headset called giveet. The giveet are the most comfortable things I've ever worn The Bluetooth range outperforms every other headset. Even $150 more expensive ones. But they are far from loud enough. Even just to be outside at the truck stop the ambient noise overpowers them with ease. Microphone good enough but not when windy. Aftershokz opencomm very decent microphone with very decent noise cancellation I find the sound to be perfectly adequate I can almost always hear it
Sorry it took me a year to find your video. But I think you helped me to confirm that opencomm Is the headset for me and dailying it is the right thing to do, for me
I use a pair of Shokz now for 5 years, looking at a new pair. Shokz does offer a swimmers version now. This was a great review on sound quality. I have gotten many compliments about good sound on calls using Teams and noise cancelation. Looking at getting another pair.
The Shokz Openswim looks like a great all-rounder but I haven't had a chance to test those headphones yet. The fully water tight design might impact the mic quality though...
Had the Haylou BC01 for 18+ months. I practically live with them on. Incredibly good sound for movies and spoken media and very acceptable for music. Occasional pop at high volume but all in all very happy. My only 2 complaints is that I wish the battery life was longer, 8 hours is optimistic, probably 4-5 with constant use at med-high volume. The other complaint is call quality, in particular during FaceTime it’s really quite bad. They can’t be operated well with loud equipment (mower/vacuum/power tools) unless you opt for using the included earplugs, but the resulting sound of purely conduction is very bass focused and loses all brightness from high tones, so audio quality is very compromised. Would recommend them to anyone but always checking for new model with improved battery life. I made the choice to also purchase multiple charge cables and have them throughout my home.
Thank you for the non-biased review, I was about to buy the Shoks openrun pros before watching your video, I decided to go with the Haylou's instead due to the better price and the higher ip rating because I sweat a lot.
Incredible effort in the production. I see everyone at work with these on. I guess management doesn’t mind it. Of course until I purchase some and wear them once
Thank you for your detailed review! Saved me a bunch of cash. Vibrating against skin is a definite no for me; and the sound leakage in an office is deal breaker. Thank you for covering those two items in your review! That was very helpful for my decision.
Hi Andy Wow, while watching the different videos You‘ve made, I always ask myself: Where did Andy learn all that professional behavior? Did he learn it at his place of employment? Not to forget, the special manner in which You record Your videos. Last but not least, the proper share of humor. UNIQUE & INCOMPARABLE
Great review. I am on my third set of Shokz, and like them. The two negatives are likely the same on all models. First, that strap behind the neck/head is a pain in the car or on the couch. If they could somehow solve that, maybe through a range of sizes, that would be great. The second thing is high wind on the road bike. I have tried a lot of things. absolutely nothing works in 25 mph wind. In fact i was amazed at how loud a test with just foam ear plugs in was. Apparently the wind hits the devices and makes them into a speaker/amplifier of the wind. Which ones can be programed to have a different sound profile from a hearing aid test profile, or to function as hearing aids in microphone amplifier mode for moderate hearing loss?
I'm going to try Cat-Ears Classic Cycling Wind Noise Reducer for wind noise while biking. I bought an e Bike and at 15 mph my ears hurt. I have to turn my head to get a break from wind noise, let alone hear a podcast with one earbud in... so hopefully these goofy looking Cat-Ears work.
i think that you will find that they work fairly well to about 15-17mph, then not so much. having fairly tight helmet straps makes a big difference.@@DavidMatterall
I had a Bone Phone in 1979. I loved that thing & wore it out. It was a device that you wore around the neck like a towel. The speakers were resting on your clavicle, I've always wondered why the technology didn't take off as it worked great. Fast forward to now, once I saw these I bought a pair. I've got the Mojawas, they work great.
Fantastic review. Just a quick note, when refering to IP ratings an 'X' indicates the item has not been tested for that rather than it doesn't offer protection for it. obviously if something can be splashed with water its going to be atleast IP3 or IP4 of dust and solid object ingress. this is a common mistake.
I've seen brands using the "X" instead of the actual value the earbuds were actually tested for just to highlight the second digit because water resistance is the key message they want to convey. So while you might be correct, explaining everything every time in such detail would only make things more confusing... 🙂
Thanks for such an excellent analysis. As a swimmer, I wonder about the Shokz swimming conduction headphones. how do they sound compared to the Naenka or the Open Run Pro. Just excellent reviews though. Much appreciated.
Nice video. I think Openrun Pro is very good, I have one myself. Used at home, it performs well, with excellent sound quality and wearing experience. But its low waterproof level limits its usage scenarios. So, I bought a Wissonly Hi Runner, which is IPX8 waterproof and has two playback modes(Bluetooth and MP3 mode). This allows it to be used in many scenarios, such as running, swimming, surfing, hiking, etc. Whether you have a phone or not, you can use it to listen to music.
Andy, 5-star review! While wearing my hoodie snugly, I've noticed an improvement in bass... I ended up buying winter ear-cups/bags and, woo hoo!! Inexpensive and worth a try, they may even help to get you out in colder weather to review "my" G7 headset :)
I use the Openrun Pro myself as an overnight BHT in a hospital. It's excellent in the quiet environment where I need to keep my hearing free to listen for my patients. One minor con that is only bad in a niche case (as no one in any normal circumstance would use it for gaming) but I've found a few pc games that try interacting with the microphone as the headphones and totally mess up the audio.
Can you recommend some earbuds for bedtime audiobook listening? Needs to sound good and most of all, have as little static noise as possible. ANC would be a plus, but not required. Don't like stem style. Budget friendly preferred.
Finally got a chance to try the Haylou for myself. I was surprised.. I heard no sparkle along with the missing bass. I got virtually nothn' but mids... and the eye-crossing soundstage like the Shokz... I guess our ears ARE different :)
Thanks for the comparison. How is the weight distributed for the swimming one? Is it going to be heavier over time compared to the others when not used during swimming?
The only phone call worthy headset appears to be openrunner according to your tests. The others can only be considered functional in quite a different category such as headphones.
I honeslty work in a quiet environment and i listen to metalcore music like the band 'War of Ages'. And i just want a good pair of bone conducting headphones that keep the sound pretty good. What do you think?
Nice job . Im looking for a pair my wife can use. I bought the JBL Sports but It irritates her inner ear after a while . She has a audio processing disorder and Im hoping bone conduction will be a good fit . I was going for the Shokz Pro until I saw your video . I think she would rather have no vibration. So I probably give the Haylous a try . She's not a bells and whistles person and neither will she spend this amount of money on herself but I want to have what's best her. Me on the other hand, I'm similar but I prefer wired /wireless headphones . I have to use hook over the ear or they will just fall out. Do you know how any of these do with the drop test? A lot of times I have them resting around my neck and when the dress shirt comes off, I hear a noise on the floor .😮 It happens more than I want . I imagine these will be more snug around my neck but I was curious . Thanks for your input and thank you for videos.
Hi I do have a pair to try out only costing me£6 but thinking of upgrading now so for me I think mojo2 or haylou??? Only use when going out and about shopping etc. Do you think I'm right in my choice sir thanks😊
OpenRun Pro is the only one that connects to two phones at the same time........best for those who have a work phone and personal phone and desire a dual connection.
Thank you for the review Andy. I’m looking to buy a pair for swimming. Which one would you recommend since the Naenka is no longer available? Thank you!
@@AndysTechTone I have decided to go with the Mojo 2, my last two pairs have been shokz. I like the slide volume control feature, I find the buttons too difficult to operate.
@@AndysTechTone You were the first reviewer I've seen put in the work to actually test it outside next to a noisy road. Keep up the good work you're a real one.
@@AndysTechTone it is so flexible and close to neck, I sleep easily with both on. Even rolling on side with side of head on pillow, I sleep like a baby. But the mic will break on opencom
Good video but I only came here for mic comparisons. A better comparison would have been inside a really loud big truck, and included other OpenComm-esc variants.
I reckon that you got plenty mic comparisons in this video. If that's not enough then I suggest you look up "mic tests inside loud trucks" and watch all the videos that pop up...
Should have saved the URL but saw Andy in a video ad for some bone conduction earphones. He was exercising while wearing the earphones. Hopefully, the creator has his permission to use his likeness.
@@treadman26 yep, that’s the same one. I told Shokz about it too as its actually their product I’m using but the advertiser claims its something else entirely. That’s the world we live in…
I just found you in the "Best Sport Earbuds" video, and I absolutely love all of your videos! I don't have a lot of offer, but if you have a patreon or something, I would love to support you the best I can
I would love to see a review done for the normal person who had hair that may not be pulled up for athletic purposes. I have long hair and am concerned about how sticky they will be and grabbing my hair to put on and off as well as the hair causing swishing noise because it grazes the earphones. Please.
I have long curly hair. Use in an office environment No sound issues. Can be a bit of a pain getting caught in my hair but its manageable, for me. Edit:I have the shokz.
Is there any set that can b used for swimming that can b play forward and rewind on the same track ? I cant understand why they dont bring that function
If you listen to podcasts for example the skip forward/backward function tends to jump forward/backward within the same track. It’s a matter of how the app/player/software is set up and not necessarily the fault of the headphones only
Just needed to know which had the best bass and magnetic charging. All the rest was real good too. Thanks and great job on this video. Not many can actually give a real product assessment
@@AndysTechTone No problem! I loved the Shockz, but I don't know if I'd pay 180 USD for the simple use I'll get of them, so the Haylou's are definitely the way to go.
Loved my OpenCom Pro's for WFH. I purchased the OpenRun Pros for everyday use! The boom mic on the OpenCom has exellent AVC, which makes it great for WFH phone and virtual meetings.
Do any of these stand out as being best at blocking out wind noise? For reference I won't be listening to any music. I will be wearing ear plugs and using these to hear people talking.
My experience is with aftershocks I think open, move. And inductives open ear duet. I have taken phone calls while running a press kicking out product every 30 seconds with very good clarity using the aftershocks. And eat plugs in. But with the inductives open ear duet I can't hear very well with the windows open on the highway. Ear plugs with the open ear duet blocks the sound from your headphones as the shocks music quality goes up with ear plugs
Andy, when anyone asks be about my headsets, I share your channel. I do want to ask for clarification regarding your comments about sound leakage. I agree that volume matching between sets resembles art. You mentioned placement on ears makes a difference. Isn't leakage actually sound that bystanders can hear...Do you use a rubber bust for testing :) ?
I believe I must have menioned placement only in relation to volume and sound you can hear yourself. Sound leakage is exactly what you said and yes I use a headphone test rig. Even though I cannot really measure leakage, so it’s rather just my ears and perception of that leakage I can rely on when making comparisons
@@AndysTechTone I usually sleep prone and can cradle my head appropriately. I wear them like a stethoscope when I'm on my back. The mini version confirmed that I have a small head and does indeed allow more wiggle room... Low volume, low leakage, happy wife :)
There is only a handful of over-ear headphones on the market with (easily) replaceable batteries but not a single bone conduction headset that I know of
The vibration, the resonances that come from the bone conduting speaker kind of tickles your skin especially with strong bass. It’s hard to describe as it’s such a unique sensation
I am very sad, because of you I bought two times this headphones. And the 2 times it had been defectfull. Play and pause button doesn't work after 1month
Great comparison again Andy, Im wondering what you would think of a budget set of "Air" conduction. Let me kow what you think of this model. "Sports Earphones Truefree F1 Open-Ear Bluetooth Headphones with ENC Noise-Cancellation Mic Air Conduction Wireless Headset for Workouts and Running, 11 Hours of Music, with Headband" Cheers. P.S. Beautiful production value, OMG.
Thanks for replying 🙂 your probably right I bought on temu so is cheap but does the job to get a good idea if you want and will use. 😊I've just found a Philips set for 47 which I think is a great price. 👍

As always, great video! I was wonder which one could be better for my walks while catching some Pokemons, you helped me a lot with this! 🙌🏼
And which one is the winner for you if you don’t mind me asking?
@@AndysTechTone No problem! I loved the Shockz, but I don't know if I'd pay 180 USD for the simple use I'll get of them, so the Haylou's are definitely the way to go.
@@AlexEscobedo good thinking 👍
Loved my OpenCom Pro's for WFH. I purchased the OpenRun Pros for everyday use! The boom mic on the OpenCom has exellent AVC, which makes it great for WFH phone and virtual meetings.
Need to have a water proof phone as well when swimming?
What a dedication dear very helpfull ,detailed review - ❤️ from bharath 🇮🇳(india)
Thanks for your extensive review sir appreciate you😊
No worries, thanks for watching 😊
Do any of these stand out as being best at blocking out wind noise? For reference I won't be listening to any music. I will be wearing ear plugs and using these to hear people talking.
My experience is with aftershocks I think open, move. And inductives open ear duet. I have taken phone calls while running a press kicking out product every 30 seconds with very good clarity using the aftershocks. And eat plugs in. But with the inductives open ear duet I can't hear very well with the windows open on the highway. Ear plugs with the open ear duet blocks the sound from your headphones as the shocks music quality goes up with ear plugs
Please guide me,
For audio call, music and virtual meeting.. which one recommend?
Shokz - OpenComm Noise-Canceling Bone Conduction has a boom mic that sticks out front.
Very nicely done !
Andy, when anyone asks be about my headsets, I share your channel. I do want to ask for clarification regarding your comments about sound leakage. I agree that volume matching between sets resembles art. You mentioned placement on ears makes a difference. Isn't leakage actually sound that bystanders can hear...Do you use a rubber bust for testing :) ?
I believe I must have menioned placement only in relation to volume and sound you can hear yourself. Sound leakage is exactly what you said and yes I use a headphone test rig. Even though I cannot really measure leakage, so it’s rather just my ears and perception of that leakage I can rely on when making comparisons
Can you let me know which one is best for wearing laying down or sleeping.
Since all these have a neckband I don’t think that sleeping with them would be the best idea
@@AndysTechTone I usually sleep prone and can cradle my head appropriately. I wear them like a stethoscope when I'm on my back. The mini version confirmed that I have a small head and does indeed allow more wiggle room... Low volume, low leakage, happy wife :)
Great review thank you
Can you tell something about bone conduction headphones from PHILIPS? For example, Philips AA6606
I have never used any Philips bone conduction headphones so not sure how they would compare to those in this test
Really well done. Thank you!
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching! 😊
Good review!
Thanks 😊
How about battery when battery dri can't change why?
There is only a handful of over-ear headphones on the market with (easily) replaceable batteries but not a single bone conduction headset that I know of
I listened to your whole video with haylou.
Good stuff 👍
Thank you, very thorough reviews. (subscribed & like)
So, what do you mean vibration? Never used one before dont know specifically what it means
The vibration, the resonances that come from the bone conduting speaker kind of tickles your skin especially with strong bass. It’s hard to describe as it’s such a unique sensation
Great info and video, thank you
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching 😊
Great video. Man, trying to pinpoint your accent. Where from?
Do you know of any WIRED bone conduction headphones?
Interesting concept but I don’t know any
I am very sad, because of you I bought two times this headphones. And the 2 times it had been defectfull. Play and pause button doesn't work after 1month
Which one are you talking about?
What about phone call quality?
You should have watched the video to the end...
Great comparison again Andy, Im wondering what you would think of a budget set of "Air" conduction. Let me kow what you think of this model. "Sports Earphones Truefree F1 Open-Ear Bluetooth Headphones with ENC Noise-Cancellation Mic Air Conduction Wireless Headset for Workouts and Running, 11 Hours of Music, with Headband" Cheers. P.S. Beautiful production value, OMG.
The Truefree F1 is a great option for the money
Which microphone sounds the best while riding a bicycle fast
Neither of them…
Thanks for replying 🙂 your probably right I bought on temu so is cheap but does the job to get a good idea if you want and will use. 😊I've just found a Philips set for 47 which I think is a great price. 👍
This was very useful. Köszi!
Great video!
