H2O Audio Snow PRO Bone Conduction Bluetooth Open Ear Headset with MP3 Player - Waterproof Multi-Sport Headphones for Skiing, Snowboarding, Cross Country Skiing - White

I love these things. They work well in the water as I am a swimmer, guess I have to keep my head above water as the sound will stop once you go under but you don't have to worry about them getting wet

Good but be better if the buttons were on the top and customizable.

I am so very disappointed. I don’t the extra money thinking these would be of better quality than my $30 open ear head phones. At first, I was very happy with them. But now- they won’t charge. I’ve contacted support numerous times via email. I’ve “reset” them as instructed- numerous times. The head phones still will not charge. And now customer support is ghosting me! Side note: I take very good care of things - this is not a result of anything I’ve done wrong! They’re defective and should be replaced!

It’s beautiful! i couldn’t find the supporting documentation from the website. Chat support was great! They had to send me a link when I was having trouble charging. Hope it works out. Excited to go swimming! I may change my mind.

If you're accustomed to traditional bluetooth earbuds, whether it's the AirPod style or inside the ear style, switching to these bone conduction style headphones can be a bit of an adjustment. I'd say the experience is overwhelmingly positive, but it does take some getting used to. The best thing about this style of headset is that you can hear your music, but others can't. It's shockingly effective and even at higher volumes, you can enjoy your music or podcast without disturbing others. It works best in a quiet environment like an office as it does not isolate you from outside noise at all. That's the other good thing about them - they leave your ears open to hear your environment. This is a HUGE safety feature if you're going to enjoy music or podcasts while running or cycling outside. Even earbuds turned down to a low volume effectively block out surrounding noise, so you won't be able to hear people walking up on you and you definitely won't be able to hear most electric vehicles at all. Having waterproof, sweatproof headphones like these that allow you to enjoy your music and keep your ears open is an important option. If you're looking for the best sounding headphones, however, and you don't need those considerations specifically, then these wouldn't be the best fit. Battery life was just ok. When powering on, it would say that the battery was relatively full, but it seemed to deplete more quickly than I expected. It's not a deal breaker, but the only other thing that was unusual was the proprietary charging cord. I understand why they use it as these are meant for swimming and using a traditional port, even one with a rubber gasket, can let moisture in. With their unique charging cable, it charges by touch, so there's no way for moisture to get in anywhere. The downside is, of course, that if you lose that cable, you'd have to replace it with that exact one or you won't be able to use your headset at all. Overall, if this fits your unique needs, it's a great pick. It fits a unique niche in the market and does it extremely well!

I have to say that I am impressed with how easy this headset was to connect to my phone and how good the sound was. I like that not only is the sound great and only you can hear it, but it leaves your sense of hearing completely open so you can be fully aware of what’s happening around you. The buttons are a little difficult to push, and if you have gloves on there is no way you will be able to push them, though everything can be done from your phone. You can download music and podcasts using the app as well, so you don’t even need your phone, which is great if you are swimming. There is a lot to love about this headset, but if you have a large head be aware that these may not fit you comfortably. This headset is not adjustable and that may be an issue for some people. However, if you have a small head, they include a strap to help make these fit more securely. I love that these can be used in the water and there is no need to worry about getting them wet or connecting to Bluetooth (if you download your music/podcast). I am very impressed with how easy this headset is to use and operate. It gets a solid 5 stars from me.

These are great headphones. I've been testing bone conduction sets for the last five years or so, and I feel the technology has finally reached the point at which it can compete on a level playing field with regular earphones. The sound quality isn't *quite* as good - the bass is still a little thin - but the benefits of the open ear tech now make up for any slight drawbacks in sound quality. I'm baffled by the marketing of these headphones though. They're aimed at skiers and snowboarders, but having worn bone conduction earphones while wearing hats I know that the last thing you want to do while wearing these things is put on a helmet. I don't have a helmet to test them with right now, but there's nothing about the design that would lead me to believe they've been tailored for helmet use. My feeling is that the audio emitting pads that are supposed to sit just in front of your ear around your cheekbones would want to move every time you turned your head. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. In any case these things are perfectly good for regular wear without a helmet. They sit comfortably on my head without compression, and the sound comes through loud and clear. For the price I'm happy to recommend them.

I'm a little old school, so I didn't immediately take to the whole bone conduction system because I want to ruin my hearing with over ear speakers that thump my fillings out with bass, but for a set of bone conductors, these H2O Audio Snow PRO Bone Conduction Bluetooth Open Ear Headset with MP3 Player - Waterproof Multi-Sport Headphones for Skiing, Snowboarding, Cross Country Skiing - White are a quality product and good investment. I'd somewhat hoped to get better bass if I went a little higher end in the bone conduction game, but it's just not for me. That said, if you're not listening to music that demands you bang your head to the beat, they'll be a luxury, and waterproof to boot! Lots of functionality here. Built-in MP3, so you can download tunes and not have to connect (or lose your connection every time you get too far away from your device). Comfortable to wear. These are a good choice if you want a more advanced version of BC headphones, and despite my not entirely buying into the system, I do think they deserve five stars for all the features and the excellent sound of anything that doesn't need bass (but I kinda need my bass). Five stars for everyone else, though!
