These are great for staying safe and being able to hear your surroundings while running, walking, biking, or whatever activity you get into (except swim, of course). We found them at Costco for a good price, and they also come in a nice Indigo Blue color if you’re looking for something other than the traditional black. They come with a charge and they connect easily to your phone, so you can use them right out of the box.

I really like using these for working out. I find with normal headphones, especially now that so many are sound cancelling, I can lose track of traffic and other pedestrians, and it feels a bit unsafe and antisocial.

The product is great if you’re conscientious about your hearing and awareness. The volume is always on high when I’m in the city. However, if I’m working indoors, then it’s perfect because then I can still hear the sounds around me.

I have only used one of their entry-level headphones "OpenMove", but I am sold on their concept immediately! These are bone-conducting earphones which use tactile vibrations to produce sound to your ears. This allows you to hear sound without covering your ears in anyway. This is helpful when I am hiking or in a busy area in a city, basically places where hearing the environment around you can be very important. Also, this technology is used for people who are hard of hearing. This means that these headphones also work with certain people who are hard of hearing. Since this technology for consumers is so recent, there are limits to how high fidelity the music can be. This should be expected, however. My only real critique is the packaging; I feel it uses a a lot of unnecessary plastic. This may have changed since I purchased them, but I do not like that.
