    Robyn Lesh's review

    The Minis are awesome. So much better than the regular size in any other brands of bone conducting headphones. Like actually. I had no idea they'd make such a difference. Don't get stuck on my hair, don't bounce. I got converted!..

    Leah @Nomad.ishhh, Nomadic Ultrarunner

    MINI version for small headed people like me. These open ear headphones are amazing when on the trails. I like to hear my feet hit the ground and everything around me. These headphones allow me to listen to my favorite podcast while being aware of my surroundings.

    being able to hear bike/cars/other runners dare I say bears is key on the run.

    the best running headphones I’ve ever used. Sound quality is great while still letting you listen to the world around you.

    I didn't used to be an audio listener when I went on runs, but with these headphones, I can still hear my surroundings and they pair easily to my watch or phone. Great audio for music listening or podcasts or talking on the phone. I use these for work meetings or to chat with friends. So comfortable I forget I'm wearing them.
