SUUNTOWing Open-Ear Bone Conduction Headphone, Bluetooth Sports Earphone with Head Movement Control, Built-in Dual-Mic, IP67 Waterproof, Safety LED Lights, Up to 30H Playtime w/Charging Stand, RedClimatePartner certified

I’m no ultramarathoner, but I do like to regularly hit 7 to 10 mile runs. My AirPod pros were fine, they never fell out of my ears, were decently sweat resistant, and could reliably last about 3 hours. I avoided the bone conduction stuff because I thought it was just a fad for something that sounded terrible. The last race I did head some rain to start it and immediately my AirPods cut off and I was left with two hours of silence and running. Lame. I figured what the hell, I’d give it a shot and return them if they suck.Heres my biggest takeaway based on my experience and what I thought they’d be like after watching a dozen review videos beforehand:-The sound is dope. Way better than I thought it would be. I’m honestly pretty deaf and have some hearing loss, and I don’t even run with them on full blast. It’s not the same as my old headphones in terms of sound quality, but it’s more than not bad… it’s actually pretty freaking good. Rock, Rap, Classical, whatever it’s way more than I’d thought I’d get.-The battery just goes and goes and goes. Couple that with the charging pack that’s honestly pretty light, It’ll never die on you unless you’re a bonafide ultramarathoner or an ultralight thru hiker.-having dropped it in water already, the IP67 holds up. No more weird muffled buzz from when your headphones get water trapped or shutting off mid run-my favorite part. On a light settings my, you have a constant soundtrack going on while still being able to talk to people and go on about your day. I literally wear them 24/7 now. The dual BT connection works perfectly so I can bounce between my phone and my Garmin seamlessly. Very comfortable and easy to use. Fit like a glove and don’t shake off unless you’re head banging at a creed show.-the only things I don’t find myself using are the head tilt controls… just driving or walking around will trigger it, and the LED lights. Great feature but most of my miles are on trails.For the price they’re more than worth it for what you get.

To start, I wear these for work in >100dB environments so I wanted to use earplugs with these and I actually found this betters the experience.Without earplugs in, they aren’t support loud but usable in most day to day environments. They do sound a little flat to me but that’s because bass is hard to translate through bone conduction. It’s not a deal breaker just nature of the product type. But ear plugs brings that bass in a little bit but can sound muffled at times.It holds up very well to sweat and grime and in extremely loud environments I can still things clearly without issue. I’m thrilled with the value.I don’t see visible charging indications to let you know how charged they are and haven’t found it in the app yet but they’re extremely compatible with Apple products which I enjoy and I mean that by they’re quick to connect, faster than my AirPods Pro in some cases.They are wear and forget kind of comfortable. I have no idea I’m wearing them most of the time already.I highly recommend

Overall good experience so far in the first week of use. Battery life is good and the dock/battery bank combo is convenient. Two main cons I have noticed are the sound quality and the buttons responsiveness. Optional motion controls are unhelpful as they require nearly full range of motion of the neck/head to activate.Sound - strictly with ear plugs in when comparing to an old pair of shokz before aftershockz rebranded they fall short in clarity I believe because the transducer is so big it does not apply enough pressure on any one point to transmit effectively.Buttons - The buttons are very low profile and have a lot of rock side to side that makes accurate use difficult especially if you happen to be wearing gloves.

So I purchased the Suunto Wing because I wanted multi use multi purpose headphones. I wanted to be able to connect to my iphone for my workouts and also wanted to use the AptX Low latency protocol to connect to my Minelab Equinox metal detector on the beach. APTX is a must for Metal detecting headphones. I have to use hearing aids, which is one of the reasons I wanted a set of bone conduction headphones because my ear canals are already being use with my hearing aids. My hearing aids are also Bluetooth and must be connected to the hearing aids App in order for me to be able to control them.I received the Suunto Wings very quick in the mail...they were very well packaged. The build quality looks very good. The fit was pretty good also. Now, I had read some of the reviews on Amazon and also about the Bluetooth connectivity issues with iphones that some buyers had, but I figured it may have been due to just user error in setting it up or something like that. But as it turns out, the bad reviews were justified. The first time I turned them on and connected to my iphone they worked okay...Sound Quality is somewhere in between AM Radio Station Quality and FM Radio Quality. If you turn up the volume they vibrate against your temples and it is quite noticeable and annoying. I played a nice Classic Rock playlist and I noticed that the music would have a burp (LAG) once in a while randomly. A few google searches later, Okay. I tried the recommendations on many web sites including Apple's and Suunto's web sites. Reset the headphones and disconnect all BT devices. Nothing worked. I tried them connected to my Desktop Pc and they did work fine there, absolutely no issues...The connectivity with Apple is a well know issue with the Suunto Wings...I own really cheap head sets that work flawlessly with Apple iPhones. Suunto Support which is just a chatbot wants you to disconnect every Bluetooth device connected to your phone so these can work...I tried that and they still lagged like crazy....I need to use hearing aids that must be connected at all times to my iPhone, so I cannot just disconnect and forget all my other Bluetooth devices connected to my iphone. So, Sadly they are going back.
