MRYTKY Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones, Open-Ear Design, Black

I found nearly the same for 50% of the price. Regarding the benefits from using this system, it is GREAT. It works with plenty of devices

This is my first bone conduction heatphones. It's quite a unique headphone solution. First off, it isn't anything magical; you can hear the sound coming from the headphones if you hold the unit up to your ears, so it's not silent until you touch it to your head-bone (jaw or skull or whatever that bone is just in front of your ears), it's a speaker playing music. That said, once it's place on your head properly, it does conduct the music directly into your ears and it sounds just as good as earbuds or a regular headphone. For me, after 6 months, the best part about having this type of headphone is that you can also hear what's going on around you. So if you're not in a super noisy environment, this works perfectly well and it allows you to hear for someone calling you, or a distant phone ringing or just someone running up behind you. There are three buttons; Up, Down and a multi-function button. The volume Up and Down work great. I use the middle button to turn it On or Off, to pause music and answer the phone. All other functions it may have I've never used. I've also never read any instructions either. To turn it on, you press and hold the middle button. It cracks me up to hear a female voice tell me in obviously translated english, that the "unit" is On or the unit is Off, but the best phrase is when she says that the battery is low. I think they forgot to translate that one into english. I found that amusing and it makes me smile every time. Note that the batter does last quite a long time. I've used it for several hours multiple days in a row without it quiting on me. The bluetooth range for me has been ~40 feet with a wall between. I've worn it while gardening and found it comfortable with just a trace of sweat where the headphone rests on my skin. All in all, an excellent choice for gardening, walking the dog and grocery shopping.

**UPDATE** The device has lasted 2 months, and is now starting to fail. It lights up like it is charging and within 10 seconds tells me it’s fully charged. However it is not charged. It keeps the same amount of minimal charge, and dies within 5 min of use. All my devices before will be completely out of commission after a few weeks. ** Original Review ** This is my third set of open ear/bone conduction sets I’ve tried and by far my favorite. It has lasted the longest (6 weeks), has the best battery life (three days of play), withstands the sauna longer than my phone (hhhhwwhat?!), and can pickup the blue tooth from my phone the best, (better than some of my other normal earbuds) and is easy to operate. I’m sad to rate it four stars because the fit - I just don’t like it as much as my other sets. It doesn’t fall off, but it’s super loose (comparatively speaking). It’s also a bit heavier so it rides my ears a little more than the others. I can still work out with it - run, jump, and climb without an issue, but I do have to turn it up a bit, or wear a headband to get a firmer contact in order to hear the sound. It does come with some sort of rubber device that you can use to tighten the band… but it wasn’t listed on the instructions/user manual. I am super pleased I don’t have to charge it every night, and I can wear it in the sauna after a workout. One of the previous sets which were truly water proof only lasted a few weeks before the charger stopped working (unless you twisted the headset just so), and stopped working completely after two months; and the second set wasn’t water proof and could not hold a charge after a month. The quality of the sound is amazeballs, and I can hear the background conversations …. I am also impressed with the mic function - which is more than some of the other headsets I have had. This headset also doesn’t have the tickling sensation at the higher volume settings. Definite improvement from the first one I had. This device also has my favorite operational buttons - three in a row distinctly separate (vol up/power/vol down). Fun fact: I am terrible at the buds/devices with one button that you have to tap, or hold, or double tap, or hold for five to do different things…. Sometimes I miss the contact surface, so I’m having to tap more times or over tapping the device. I have accidentally hung up on someone or skipped to the next song/chapter when I was trying to change the volume. So yay for ease of operations!

This bone conducting headset was easy to set up and start using. First, I located the USB port and charged the headset. Second, I powered on the headset by pressing the center orange button for 3 seconds. Third, I went to the Bluetooth setting on my phone to pair the device, MRTKY-31, I believe it said. Fourth, I played music from a phone app. It took only a few minutes from powering on to pairing. The sound quality is better than my wireless earbuds. It also has a more modern charging cable than my earbuds. What I like best is the ability to wear these while biking or even leaning forward during workouts for pushups or planks without losing them. Separate earbuds invariably fall out--not this set. It wraps over both ears and fits close to the skull. The white and orange make the visibility quite easy. They stand out on dark surfaces, making this hard to lose. I don't yet know how long it holds a charge. If it's at least 120 minutes, I'm all set!

Send them your money. Put a soundtrack in your life. Sound quality is good for both the money spent and the fact that it is “bone conducting”. Don’t expect an audiophile experience. But, an audiophile experience is not what this device is for. I bought this because I sail… and I could not afford to drop earbuds overboard, have wires hang up on things… and I need to be able to hear what is going on around me. This has been not only is great for sailing but also anytime that I want to listen to some tunes or a podcast (and I can’t listen to a HiFi system, use earbuds, corded headphones or need to keep an ear out while still being tuned in). I have an extra large hat size and they fit great. Now the nature of the bone conducting tech means that when you chew, move your jaw or head… sometimes the device departs contact. However a small price to pay for what it can do. If you lay down (face up) with these on, the band in the back will push the “speakers” off your head. The trick here is to flip them around and put the band on your forehead. I can wear them with my glasses and they sometimes interfere as they are vying for the same piece of real estate around my ear. Wearing both glasses and the headphones seems to decrease comfortable wearing duration. Still worth it. If I am also wearing a baseball cap with glasses and the device, it complicates it more. Still worth it. Over all comfort is good. Battery life is very good. From a fresh charge I have never had it die during a listening session… as much as 5 hours. Bluetooth connects easily and has good range. Controls are both simple and effective. Buttons have a positive click and you know when you have depressed them. Been using them primarily with my phone and call quality is good. People on the other end of the call can not tell the difference. Also connects to my computer with no problems. This has been the best money that I have spent in a long time. You don’t have much to lose… as the price is very reasonable.
