Fantastic headphones for running
I am an avid runner, and have typically used various iterations of Apple AirPods when doing so. I don’t have many complaints about them, as the sound quality and noise cancellation are both excellent, but I was getting a bit of ear fatigue after a while, and on these humid Southern days, things get a bit slippy after a few miles, to the point where I was having to constantly jam them back into my ears. I am a glasses wearer, and was somewhat unsure if the Shokz would work, but decided to give them a try. I was very pleasantly surprised by them. They work just fine with my glasses, especially if I put the headphones on first and then slide the glasses over my ears. The sound quality is not quite in par with the AirPods, but it’s actually shockingly good, and when you are laboring up a hill, sound quality isn’t exactly a priority. Bass response is the most noticeable difference from the AirPods. They are also super light, and I kind of forget they are there at all.The things I really love about them are that they stay in place and don’t move a bit, and I can listen to music or podcasts but still have situational awareness. I never listened to music on my trail runs for exactly that reason, and I probably still won’t, but a podcast is a perfect compromise that allows me to have some entertainment while still being able to hear if there is a bike coming up behind me. Battery life seems quite good, and I like the case as well. As a side note, I have a pretty dang big head, at least going by hat size, but the mini actually provided a better fit for me. If you are on the fence about these I can say they are worth the investment. I’ll be using mine as my primary listening device for running from now on.Ver másVer menos
