Other than that, not the best sound quality compared to other types of headphones, but that's not the point. These are incredible for situations where you want to be aware of your surroundings, whether it's exercising or at work. When needed you can use these with ear plugs (still included I think?) which also improves sound quality some. Very comfortable for me (I forget I'm wearing them) and work fine with glasses. The one issue is the back sticks out a way, so it can be an issue using them laying down, or sitting in some chairs. At high volume they cause skull vibrations I find a bit unpleasant for me, but again I buy them so I'm aware of my surroundings and keep them pretty low.

I love them because they keep me from overheating during rides, they don't fall out like buds and they don't cover my ears which gives an echo when I talk.
Now not only do k wear them on the trainer. But I also wear a different pair all day at work as I make phone calls. It is absolutely goated imo
I got a bit excited when I saw the OpenSwim Pros announced. I don't take my phone with me when I run or lift, and having the ability to switch to BT mode during bike rides and other situations where I do have a phone seemed like a great solution. But the form factor left a lot of extra behind my head that contacted my helmet and was generally a little uncomfortable (the previous Mini fit much better). The sound quality was still lacking compared to normal earbuds. I returned them after about a week of rides, runs, and gym trips.
For both models, I had to turn the volume up pretty far (70%+) to be able to consistently understand voices or enjoy music even though I have very good hearing (used to moonlight as a live sound engineer, checked my frequencies/sensitivities multiple times). This high volume resulted in a level of vibration on the contact points that caused a kind of fatigue in the muscles around my ears and temple. Not painful or even that uncomfortable; it was just obvious I'd been wearing them because the area around the contact point was kind of...numb?
I went back to my Sony swimmer headphones [sony.com] for gym/runs and my little rubber strap speaker [amazon.com] for bike rides, and I'm happy. But I have three friends who absolutely swear by them, so they're probably worth trying for anyone who has a good use case.

The sound in the water is not amazing, but way better than I expected. They do provide a separate EQ profile for underwater that helps. I also use them for running and they are excellent.

I'm at the point in time in my life that I only buy products that are USB c..
