Yep ! Got some open run from shokz and my commute include 10 km cycling path removed from car trafic where I rarely see anyone, so some high beat music is good to keep the pace.
How do you like the bone conduction? I've never actually tried a pair.
In addition to the other commenter I agree on the podcast thing but it heavily depends on where you are cycling and how hard it is. If you are in heavy traffic, it's a bust. But if you are in a fairly quite road it's fine.
It's also worth noting that the audio quality is not brilliant but it's good enough of you are an average music listener.
I basically never take mine off, I wear them at work and even wear them in bed so I don't disturb my wife.
I like it very much. I like listening to podcast but bone conduction + riding on a bike is not a good mix to really focus on a good podcast. It is good for listening to music with a certain "beat", like when you exercice or are on a long road. Not really good for more nuance quiet music.
Good to know! Thanks for the info, it sounds like they’re not for me
Bone conduction is great! I use them to ride at a low volume. I can hear it if there is no traffic noise or big wind.
