TouchBone S6 Bone Conduction Headphones, Open Ear, Wireless Bluetooth 5.3, Medium

Sadly, through no fault of this product, my junky phone refuses to work with it. However, though using a phone that isn't a piece of junk, I've found I really like this product. This is my first bone conductive headset, so I don't have a huge basis for comparison, to be fair, but I can tell you that if you haven't used a good set, and are still using buds, this can be a huge upgrade to your work, or exercise headset. And make no mistake, this is a pretty good set, that feels well made, and very tuff, considering the price point.Often, I want to filter out the world, if I'm just running, but I'll be the first to tell you, that's not always the best, and usually isn't the safest option. With these, you don't loose any ability to hear the outside world. So it's easily the best option while working, and probably the better option when exercising, even though I still prefer to get entirely into my on headspace then.As far as this particular incarnation goes, I've owned a ton of ear-buds, true wireless, and banded like these are, and I tend to prefer the band, because you generally get a lot more battery, features, and ruggedness, for a lot less money. And these don't disappoint me in the slightest in any of those arenas. The only gripe I really have is the loss of that epic bass you'll get from ear-buds with a seal in your ear canal. Obviously though, that's not going to be something you're going to get with anything but ear-buds, a massive home entertainment system, or car stereo. Honestly, I was kind of shocked with how good the quality of bass was for me, with this set, coming from this medium. I expected some tinny noise, and you do get a little, but it wasn't nearly what I expected, and virtually disappears as you increase the volume a little.And that brings me to my only complaint with it functionally, in that it seems like the volume has a tipping point, with not a lot of in between. It's perfectly comfortable at full volume for me, and you can still hear it well at low volumes as it seems ever present even with lots of outside noise, but it seems like you get only a few notches of 'in the zone' variability. This may just be a personal thing, but it is my experience.Other than that, I don't really like the fact that this operates off a dedicated/proprietary pogo pin charger. However, I do understand how much easier that makes it for this thing to be water/sweat proof. So It's hard to count it as purely a negative. Since it's easy to see there's no real point for water, or sweat to get into the device, at all. It's just that keeping up with another 'special' charger is never ideal.Overall, I'd say it's an excellent product, at a really great price point that's worked very well for me up to this point, which pretty much justifies the purchase completely.

I bought these so that I can listen to music or watch a show on my mobile devices while still being able to hear my kids at home or my employees at work.I also got them so I can listen to music or watch my tablet in the shower. I had some "waterproof" ear buds, but I hated them. They would fall out of my ears every couple minutes, and one time that happened shower water sprayed directly onto the speaker that went into my ear. From that point on, I could only get one bud to connect at a time. They both worked - just not together, and I got tired of picking them up from the bottom of the tub and putting them back in 20 times a shower.So I got these bone conduction headphones too replace the crappy ear buds.They stay in place and work great in the shower. Since they are fully contained without any fragile parts like speakers, they are 100% waterproof and work great! Due to the shape, where they go around the base of your scalp instead of on top of it, they don't get in the way much when I'm washing my hair.They're also great for when my son and I are on a long drive, and I wish to listen to music while he watches YouTube or whatever on his phone. I bought my son a kid-sized pair (different manufacturer), and we can hear each other when we need to or listen separately to our own devices if we wish.I do wish the strap that goes around the back of my head were a little shorter so it laid more flush with the base of my scalp. The kid sized one actually fits my tiny head a bit better. However I understand they need to also fit larger heads, and in doing my research of bone conducting headphones before this purchase, I realized that style is pretty much the same no matter who you buy from.Battery life is great - I have made it through an entire day (12+ hours) without having to charge.Noise cancellation is irrelevant, as these type of headphones are made specifically so you CAN hear what's going on around you.My only complaint is that if I have to have them fairly loud due to ambient noise, they vibrate against my skull whenever there's some bass to what I'm listening to. It's an un-nerving sensation like having involuntarily twitching muscles. Turning down the sound a bit helps. It would be nice if there was some sort of app that would let you adjust the bass and treble of the head phones. I guess I can look for apps that do that for the sound on my phone and see if it makes any difference. If so, I'll update my review. It's the only reason I rated them 4 starts instead of 5.All in all a great purchase, at a fraction of the price my mom paid for hers. She's the one who told me about bone conducting headphones and let me test drive hers. She paid $150 for hers, and these work just as well. I honestly don't know if she gets the vibrating issue at high volume, but if that's the only difference, it's too minor for me to want to shell out an additional $100 for. Especially as it's only a problem in certain situations and doesn't occur enough to really bother me.Customer service seems good. I haven't had to use them, but they did reach out to me with their contact info just in case. They did offer a rebate if I left a review, but it wasn't shady. Others try to blackmail or threaten you for a five star review. The letter I received asked me for my HONEST review and offered a rebate no matter what I rated them. They also gave me their contact info should any issues with the product arise.Overall a great purchase at a great price from a company who seems to care. I would definitely buy from them again!
