Shokz for the Girls

I didn’t know how unsafe I was being running with headphones that make me unaware of my surrounding. When I started training for my first marathon I realized that these runs are going to get longer and I need to be aware of my surroundings. I’m so happy that I’ve invested in a pair. As a woman safety is very important and needed.

Good, but not great

Overall, I give these high marks. The sound is far better than I expected, and they really do help to hear what is going on around you. I cycle regularly and was always a little concerned I couldn’t hear traffic or other riders with regular in-ear ear buds. The Shokz have solved that problem. There are some weaknesses. The touch controls aren’t very usable. There are touch points for functions, but no tactile way to locate them with your finger. You sort of have to just feel around until the function you want happens. It’s not easy while riding 20-25mph. Another big issue I found was when they get sweaty, the seller can activate the functions. On a couple of occasions, the “volume up” function got “stuck” with warm sweat and it kept going to full volume. I could turn it down with the other side, but it would just go back up. Other that a couple shortcomings, they are good earbuds. I can listen to music at work and still hear when people speak to me. Overall, very satisfied.

These things are awesome about one set for the wife and one set for me and I was wearing them outside and it was hot and I was sweating and they worked fantastic, and you can yet still hear things which is what they're supposed to do but they work great
