Everything is fine, there are only minor drawbacks.

Many write that the ears remain open and that''s good - you hear the sounds around you, people can contact you. I don''t think it''s that clear. It probably depends on whether a person knows how to distribute attention. Apparently I don''t. If I concentrate on the sound from the headphones, then even a voice, even a car horn, remains meaningless noise for me. Using any headphones outdoors is dangerous for me.

Others may also react differently. My wife said to me on the very first evening: “It used to be clear that if you have headphones on your ears, then you must first attract your attention. And now you look through me and it’s not clear whether you hear or not.”

The purchase was impulsive. I saw it in a friend, took it for a few minutes to listen - I kind of liked it. Went and bought the same. But it turned out that they did not suit me. Perhaps due to personal characteristics of hearing. So I''m not lowering my rating. It seems to me that the developers tried and squeezed everything they could out of this technology.

Pros

1) It turned out to be surprising for me that they are almost not felt on the head. I always thought that if bone conduction means there must be tight contact with the bone. That is, they must be very strongly pressed against the head. But it''s not. There is certainly pressure, but it is barely perceptible. I got used to them in a couple of days and almost stopped noticing them. 2) Easy, convenient to put on and wear. The sound does not depend on how they sat on the ears. Glasses don''t get in the way. They hold securely, you can really play sports. 3) Qualitatively assembled. The materials are pleasant to the touch. 4) The battery was enough for me for two days. Charged from scratch in three hours. 5) Protection against water. Convenient magnetic connector for charging, two laces included.

Cons

1) The most important thing is that you can’t find a comfortable volume level. The slightest external noise prevents you from hearing the sound from the headphones, you have to turn up the volume. At the same time, if you plug your ears, you understand that the volume is already excessive, the sound hammers at the brain. And this is in an apartment where it is relatively quiet. On the street I could not use them at all, the volume level has to be set to such a level at which an unpleasant vibration begins. Of course, you can plug your ears (there are even earplugs made of memory foam). But then the whole point of these headphones is lost. And personally, my problem is that I can not stand plugs in the ear canal. 2) Even in complete silence, at a moderate volume, after half an hour there are weak, but unpleasant sensations in the head - heaviness, dizziness. 3) Sound quality. For voice (conversations, audio books, etc.), the quality is acceptable. But listening to music without plugs in them is unpleasant. The sound is somehow wrong, although I can not exactly explain what exactly. 4) And a few non-critical (for me) moments: The multifunctional button (pause / call acceptance) works, as it seemed to me, with a delay. Service signals, if the ears are plugged - like a nail in the head, very loud and nasty. Communication is not the most reliable, behind one concrete wall they are already starting to stutter. There were no problems within the same room. The bow at the back does not fit to the head and can interfere. For example, not in any position of the head, you can lean on the headrest.
