    Expert Review

    I started running a lot more with music during pregnancy to give me a boost, and now postpartum, running is my primary alone time in the day, so I want it to be as fun as possible! I also use these around the house in place of my old noise canceling headphones, because even if baby is sleeping, I always have one ear out.

    This product is for…

    Runners — especially trail runners, racers, and pregnant/postpartum athletes — who need situational awareness while listening to music or podcasts. Also suits people with small heads, who should look at the mini size.

    Worth noting…

    A direct comparison to a competing bone-conduction brand highlights no sound bleed and genuinely bone-conducting tech (not just open-ear speakers). A mini size is available and recommended by multiple hosts with smaller heads.
