IYY Bone Conduction Headphones Wireless Bluetooth Earphones IP55 Waterproof Sports Open-Ear Headsets for Running Driving Cycling Meeting (Gray)

I really wanted to try a pair of bone-conducting Bluetooth headphones, and when I saw this pair I was ready to give them a try. The price was right, the reviews were positive, and I liked the green color option.Right out of the box, the headphones paired effortlessly with my iPhone Xs Max. My husband's Samsung phone also paired with the headphones easily.The sound quality is surprisingly good for the price and style. Works well with Spotify, Audiobooks, and Podcasts alike.I really like being able to hear what's going on around me while walking the dog, running, doing chores, or just relaxing outside with an audiobook.And the best part, my ear holes are getting a break from constant earpod wear.So if you're contemplating trying out this style of headphone, give this pair a chance!

These are great for running and working out. I tried them out while I was doing a pretty intense workout- lots of jumping- and these stayed in place the whole time. I also really like being able to hear my surroundings better while I have them on. As a woman who likes to go on runs by myself, being able to listen to my music while still being able to hear my surroundings is so important for safety.

I wanted to be able to hear the world around me while wearing headphones, and thought I'd give these a try. I was tired of my ears getting crushed by over the ear phones, and can't wear the earbuds.WHAT I LOVE: The button on the right will start my program, 2 taps will increase volume. Button on the left will stop my program, 2 taps will decrease volume. No more running to my phone to stop my podcast so I can talk to someone and not miss anything. I don't have to take them off to have a conversation with people around me. Lightweight and attractive.Other notes: They are very comfortable for the first few hours, then I had a little ear fatigue. I hear my podcasts well. Phone calls are not excellent but not terrible for the other person, but I can hear them well myself. Watch the background noise because the other person can hear everything.All in all I'm very pleased.

UPDATE#2: Second headset won't turn on now, it's charged but power connection is corroded from sweat, guessing the sweat got inside. Going to look for one that's more robust, replacing it every six months is a nuisance. If you don't mind it being basically disposable, it does work well.UPDATE: The left housing broke where the frame goes in after six months. It still works. This headset is good enough that I'll buy another one if needed and try to be more careful.I've tried several in-ear "running" headphones, none would actually stay in my ears. The arm behind your head is key and this one stays on while running and sweating.Only real complaint is that when the battery is 30% or less it constantly beeps to remind you, rendering music not enjoyable. So the effective battery life is really 30% less than it should be. Wish they'd do a software update for that. But still more than enough juice to work out for several days before a recharge.

I got these for Christmas and have used them exclusively since. I've worked out in them, worked in them, made/taken calls with them, and lounged in them. They seriously are comfortable and I have laid down to sleep, only to remember I was wearing them. The sound is immersive and allows me to enjoy media while still hearing my surroundings...unless I want to use the ear plugs to cancel the noise.For those claiming they are not bone conducting, there is a simple test...turn the sound low and plug your ears. With these, you can hear perfectly...honestly, the bass might be even deeper with the earplugs

I recently hurt my back, so I can't run anymore. I'm switching to biking.Therefore, I can't wear my in-the-ear headphones anymore.I'm comparing these headphones to my old ones.SOUND: not as good as the plug style. but I expected that.BATTERY: so far, so goodFIT: not great, there's nothing to adjust, but they stay on.EASE OF USE: yeah, this isn't great. there are only 2 buttons. You have to memorize sequences. like press left button 2x to lower volume, press right button 3x to skip ahead. I'm figuring it out, but jeez.OVERALL: they're fine. My friend bought a much more expensive brand. She loves them. I'm trying to decide if it's worth comparing. But for now, I can ride my bike and hear traffic. :)

I love these so much! They are lightweight, stay on, and deliver clear sound. I decided to treat myself to a pair, as I am very familiar with bone conduction, and was not sure how they would work in a practical day-to-day use.The first few days, it took some getting used to, but worth it.These allow for sound without losing the outside world. I have a mild hearing loss, and I was able to adjust the placement of the conductors and still be tuned in.One thing that shows on daily use (music, audio books, and phone calls) is that I forget that in wearing them. I've gone as far as to have my children search for the sounds that I hear in the headset, thinking that they are hearing them as well!As I need them on a higher volume level, the battery life is a bit lower than I'd like. Remember, I use them all day and at high volume. I get a good several hours though.I recommend these to anyone who is interested. One of my best purchases!

I really liked these. I was really impressed with the battery life. Probably 5 hours until 40%.What happens at 40%?? The headset begins to beep twice every 20 seconds or so with no stopping. Incessant "low power" alert, not a 20% or 10%, but at 40%.The beep volume is LOUD, which means I have to stop using the headset when it could have multiple hours of listening left.This setting makes no sense and will be the reason that I will likely return these.

Edit: 19 March 2021Vendor has been continuously harrassing me via email for the last three months to change my review. Have blocked them outright and reported to Amazon.Now let me say this.... I'm fully aware that bone conduction earphones will not output the same level of sound quality that a traditional set of supra-aural (over the ear) headphones will provide.That being said, the sound that was being produced by these headphones sounded better when placed over my ears (as one would do with said traditional headphones) then when being worn as required.Sound output volume was barely audible (even when applying extra pressure to my jawbone) and incredibly distorted (even at low volume). Having a phone conversation using the bluetooth microphone made it sound like I was at the end of a very long tunnel that was 30 miles long.Battery life was not at the advertised 6 hours but it was rather closer to 4 hours before the "please charge" message began annoying me.Can't recommend this particular set based on my experience and testing with it. Avoid until the technology matures and is reasonably usable by more folks.

I'm prone to getting itchy ears after a few hours with conventional earbuds and these solve that.However... They're a bit small on me (I wear a 7.5 size hat) so they "pinch" at the back of my head. This causes the "speaker" part to pull away from my head a bit, so the sound is tinnier than if I press the "speaker" in with my hands. This poor fit also causes the back part of the headset to pull when I turn my head, so I have to reseat the headphones. This isn't a big problem if I'm sitting at my computer and making minimal head movements, but would be a nuisance while driving or running where you are more frequently looking around.Button control isn't the most intuitive. These headphones have a lot of real estate, so there's plenty of room for separate volume buttons, etc. , which would save a lot of fumbling. Especially if you own more than one set of Bluetooth headphones and you're trying to remember how many clicks of which side you need for different functions.But these are minor quibbles. Minor enough that I plan to keep using these, rather than send them back and starting over with another make/model.

Good design, lightweight in comparison to my Aftershokz.Hopefully these don't stop charging after the warranty runs out. I have an expensive Aftershokz that are useless and have been stored. Battery won't charge. Why do I keep them I don't know. Maybe one day they may miraculously work again.So far these Ivy ones are working.

I'll lead with the part that impresses me most. I once spent 15 minutes looking for these things while they were still around my head. They're that easy to forget about. I've worn them for 4-5 hours straight and no discomfort at all. Pretty decent fit too even with a mask on. Controls are straightforward enough (that said it now announces everything in Chinese but I am sure that's easy enough to fix. And not really an issue.)I might return them. Entirely because they just aren't loud enough to use on a bike or near traffic. The earplugs do help but then you're sacrificing comfort and another redeeming feature which is to say situational awareness. They also lack bass. I usually use them for podcasts and audiobooks so not the biggest deal, but don't expect sound quality comparable to even a reasonably cheap set of over the ear bluetooth headsets. Before it randomly died my $20 soundbots actually sounded better. The battery life is not that impressive either and they leak sound like mad but probably about all you can expect from something this small. Plus fit and luck is probably a big part of how well they're going to work and sound to you.

I am working at the small quiet restaurant and when there is no customers or i am working in the kitchen, i usually listen to youtube or podcasts. But i still need to be aware if any other staffs talking to me. It took a few days to get used to it but so useful for me. I don’t need to fumble to take it off (sometimes my hands are wet) every time a customer comes in or i take an order on the phone (especially takeout only since covid). The sound is clear and it feels you listen to it through speaker so less clear than usual earphones. But it is not the earphone. Just your ears are open so it is supposed to be. Eventhough i won’t recommend it for running (you can’t tighten it), it is a perfect choice for my use.
