I'd start with a negative that might only apply to my case, given the otosclerosis in my left year. I was stupid to believe that bone conduction headphones would allow me to hear as normal, but after trying it and then later researching, I learned that it would not help my condition.

So with the personal negative out of the way, let me talk about the actual product.

Size and Weight

I'd start by saying that this device is lighter than you'd think. Also, I read reviews from many people for how they had to go with the mini and the regular model was too big. I was skeptical too, but after reading their documentation on how to decide, I measured the distance between my ears, and as it was very close to 9.25", I decided to go with the regular model.

Controls and Battery

The controls are reasonably simple to use, and getting started was pretty natural. The device came with a 75% charge in the box, and that's exactly how it should be.

Sound and Vibrations

Sound quality is great, but as reviewers say, expecting bass from bone conduction hardware is the wrong expectation. The bass is indeed not as much as you'd otherwise get in even way cheaper in-ear earphones or on-ear headphones, but I like how they add those tiny vibrations such that it makes you feel bass at least through those instead of only relying on sound. I'd call that smart. Also, I now understand why people complain about the tingling, but when I keep the sound volume not so high, it's barely noticeable.

Noise Isolation

Though I do not get sound isolation, let alone noise cancellation, I love being able to hear the sounds from the environment and being able to talk to people while I'm also listening to them. I did not feel any difference between the two audio modes when switched through the companion app.

Audio Calls

I also tested audio calls in winds and while running, and the person on the other side could hear me well.

Conclusion

I never had bone-conduction headphones earlier, but I'm really happy with my purchase of these. My only nitpick is the proprietary charger.
