truefreeO1 Open-Ear Headphones, Bluetooth 5.3 Wireless Earbuds with Ear Hooks, Over-Ear Air Conduction Tech for Sports, Four Mics Clear Calls, 45 Hours of Playtime, 16.2mm Enhanced Bass, App Control

So comfortable. Amazing

I was looking for a set of open ear Bluetooth headphones without a band, that wrapped around the ear so they felt comfortable and wouldn’t fall out in the gym. I’ve tried the market leader bone conduction type but as others have said these broke down after 2 years and the band prevented relaxing back with head resting against something. I have also tried other in ear models but I don’t have a ‘slot’ in my ear to ‘lock’ those types in and the ones that rely on a snug inner ear fit always feel like the bulk on the outside will through gravity or movement eventually make them fall out and risk loss in public environments. These TRUEFREE phones address all these problems and give a great sound for the price. The addition of an app allows you to tweak the equalizer or play white noise if wearing them in noisy office environment. I found the touch sensitive controls a little fiddly and not successfully managed to pause the media from playing with the double tap but that is possibly user error. It would be nice if they could go slightly louder as I have found in louder environments there’s not enough volume to block out louder noises, but this may be a by product of them being open ear anyway.

I have been using the TrueFree O1 for just over a week now and I have to say the performance of them is pretty incredible for the price point. Compared to the premium product in the category (Shokz OpenFit) they are about 1/4 of the price but the performance is certainly not 1/4 of the quality. The sound quality is not quite as good as the Shokz, sounding a little more compressed, but it is still very good and perfectly acceptable for use in both home / work scenarios as well as in active situations such as running. They are comfortable to wear and even wearing them for about 7hrs during work, my ears felt no fatigue.On my first run in them they cut out for a couple of seconds a few times but started playing again almost immediately, but on all my subsequent runs they performend absolutely fine.The app, while being a bit fiddley allows you to remap the capacitive buttons on the earphones to suit your own preferences which at this price point is a very good feature.For the money I have no complaints.

Have used these on a daily basis for as long as I can remember.Very comfortable, quality sound ( for the design )No ear fatigue

The media could not be loaded. SetupDuring the setup process, I found connecting these to my iPhone 15 Pro to be a seamless and efficient process. I have consistently experienced smooth pairing with the headphones on multiple occasions.Battery lifeI tested these during a lengthy bike ride and was able to use them for an extended period without any battery issues. The inclusion of a charging case with USB C proves to be practical for storage, cleanliness, and ensuring the battery remains charged. I also took several phone calls and was able to hear the other person clearly.ComfortThe headphones do not provide a secure fit and are too loose. For those seeking headphones specifically for running, you may want to look at the SHOKZ OpenRun Bone Conduction Sports headphones instead as they offer a better wrap-around design for a more secure fit. I feel Truefree should look at designing these so they fit well to the ear without being loose.Target audienceAfter thorough testing and reflection, it appears that these headphones are designed for individuals who engage in regular physical activity and value the ability to hear their surroundings while enjoying music and taking calls. While bone conduction headphones are an alternative, they can be cost-prohibitive, making these headphones a more accessible option. It is important to note that individuals who prioritize music quality over the need to hear the surrounding environemt may not find these suitable for their needs.Disclaimer: I have been sent this product as a free sample to test and unbox. This has not affected my opinion of the product.

I have had many different kinds of headphones, Over-ear, in-ear, and bone conduction. I found over-ear headphones too restrictive. I've always had issues with in-ear, earbud types because they tend to keep falling out and I lose them. I had moved to bone conduction, but again the volume wasn't great and the sound was muffled. This was a compromise I had to make until the Truefree 01s came along. Oh My God, these are a game changer for me. My daughter got these for me for Christmas and immediately they were superior to other headphones I had used. The sound response is great, with good bass, middle, and highs, and the volume is excellent, I have to turn the volume down now as it's too loud on full. As for how they feel on my ears, they don't. I know this sounds odd, but you will forget you are wearing them after a few seconds. I can wear these all day without any problems, whereas other, previous headphones, would irritate me after some time. Now we come to the battery life, and again I am pleased to report that they have an astonishing battery life without any noticeable weight.Would I recommend these to other people? Most definitely. Go ahead, change your life.

Was given these as a gift at Christmas, they are superb, comfortable to wear and the sound quality is superb.

Easy all round
