VERY good deal. IMO better audio than the shokz openrun pro 2's. I bought/returned these and kept the pro 2's though as I just wasn't a fan of the earing feeling with them and just long term comfort. The Pro 2's I can easily wear 10+ hours. These, if I had an itch on my ear or something I'd have to take off and then put back on and it was just a tad annoying.

Got these from a vendor of mine a few months ago. Actually very pleased with them. AirPods and such just fall out, I have a pair of Bose ultras they work for me as well, but sometimes the open concept is more preferable for runs etc.

Funny I was just looking to buy this and was looking at the Amazon and saw one of color was 200. I came to SD and saw this post and my next door BB had one excellent in stock for 124. I went there and picked up and listening music now. While they didn't have original case and cable so it wasn't really excellent condition so I was thinking of returning. But after listening music for one hour I decided to keep it. Man this ear buds are really comfortable and not hurting my ear at all! Sound is way better then my in ear samsung buds and can't say enough how comfortable they are. It is life changing experience. thanks a lot OP.

I saw a YouTube video that someone head banging crazy and these buds stays put and was really impressed. I actually did shaking head banging as soon as i got mine. My neck is soring but it was worth as proved that they never fell off and not even shifted at all.

Saw many reviews of poor call quality on phone calls and meetings? Any truth to this?

The firmware improves the mic a lot. It isn't airpod or xm5's mic level for sure but very serviceable.
If the call quality is "super" important to you, get the Shokz OpenDots ONE.

I have these and like them. But I would pass on these for the deal right now with the Shokz Open Ear 2 on slickdealz.

This is my review on the Shokz.
"Have these and the first gen. Love them. The 2nd Gen has a great upgrade with the touch button. Battery life is great, sound is amazing, mic sounds clear according to the people I talk to. Charge is very fast and gives you hours with a 5 minute charge if you need to extend the conversation. They are light and can barely notice them on. They are open so you are aware of your surroundings. Case is magnetic so they align quick and no guessing. They connect to Bluetooth very fast, almost pair before you take it out of the case and on one ear.

I also have the Bose open ear type that wrap around your ear and the these beat the Bose almost in every category. Same with any airpods, I have 1st, 2nd Gen air pods and the pros and Shokz beat them all.

I have to say these are probably the best wireless bud type on the market by far. Don't know what they will do with a 3rd gen and how they will top it. In the open ear category these are Alpha, no one beats them.

Great price for used, would jump on these without hesitation."

So altho the Bose are great, the Shokz are vast superior. Hope this helps.

I posted this last time they showed up: there are fakes of these everywhere in a ton of colors. It's nuts how many fakes are out there; just go look on eBay. I ended up with two fake pairs from eBay. The seller was like you can keep it and I'll refund you down to $45 for each and I accepted. They work but the microphone is terrible on the fakes.

What doesn't work on the fake ones is that it won't connect to the Bose app. The buttons do different things, the lights are different and the magnet/hinge is much weaker on the fakes. They do show up with the same name in Bluetooth settings as the real pair. I bought my real ones directly from Bose and returned them, despite the fact that I don't like returning things, in general. The biggest problem with the fake ones as they are way too tight. The flexible silicone is stronger despite being the same size as the fake pair. They are very uncomfortable to wear that tightly. The fake ones stay in my ear no problem whatsoever without being nearly as tight. They do sound better, but I only wear them as background music when I'm working so audio quality isn't my priority. I hope Bose releases a bigger one or something with looser silicone similar to the fake ones.
I would caution that these might be returns of fake units, so make sure you can connect to the Bose app. I would imagine that a lot of the reviews about the bad microphone quality are people who didn't even know they had fake units because mine were fine.

One other difference was that I had to peel one of those strips to open the original pair. The fake ones come with a very similar looking sleeve and packaging but they came shrink wrapped. Open box originals should have the leftover from that peel strip, it's like perforated thin cardboard.

These open earbuds are great. I wear them around the house when I work from home and do chores and they're great! I often forget I'm even wearing these because they're so light.
