PhilipsTAA6606BK Bone Conduction Open Ear Wireless Bluetooth Neckband Headphones with Night Light for Running, IP67 Waterproof Earphones for Sports with Mic, 9 Hours Playtime

AAA+++ great goods great price easy transaction and speedy delivery; I use these style of headphones all the time, I found having a background of quiet ambient music ( my choice obviously ), he's me keep calm throughout my day and helps me focus and deal with stress...ok so pro's & con's; PRO's - I have used Shoks Titanium for the past few years - but - I switched to these Philips when Shoks stopped making Titanium's, and I haven't been disappointed - the sound is better - bigger and clearer and you have more control via the mobile app...CON's the controls on the headphones are quite small for my fingers and they 'fiddly' I would like to see some improvement there...and there fitting is not so good with my spectacles, so I would keep the packaging until you know you can use them...OVERALL, they are comfortable and the battery life is very good...I don't particularly like having a phone app to control them but it does give you more choice...will I buy another pair when these wear out ( my sweat eats plastic this style tends to last a year with me before my sweat destroys them ), yes I think I would...recommended

First off, disclosure, I am a Philips employee but not for these devices.Bought these to replace several other wired and wireless earphones, mainly for running with. I've only run with them once, but can say that they are brilliant. No more thudding in ear noise from each running stride or from wires bouncing. They are comfortable on and didn't move from their position at all. The sound quality and level was perfect too. This and I could also hear what was going on around me. It was light so didn't feel the need to use the flashing leds. So for running, I highly recommend.I've worn them for a few weeks just walking around, out and about. As when running, they feel and sound good but....One drawback so far is the connecting arm around the back of my head. When wearing if I have a coat on or a high neck fleece or jumper, the connecting arm sits a little too low around the back and gets pushed around a bit which is annoying. Perhaps a next revision this arm could sit a bit higher...The power button could do with being larger.The battery life so far is good and I am getting around 8-9 hours continuous playback (on average volume) can't normally have them on full volume, particularly for bassy sounds as the vibration on your head is not great.They're quick and easy to charge.So far I love these and would highly recommend them for running with.

I have owned several pairs of bone conducting headphones over the years some more expensive than these, some less expensive than these, these stand out as being the worst I have ever had.The sound quality is appalling, the ability to receive calls while on the move is non-existent.I cycle every day and bone conducting headphones have become an essential part of my kit, these are absolutely useless, a total waste of money.I expected better from a company like Phillips, very disappointing.

Let's state the good pointsI use these for long runs, 2 hours plus.They are comfy and loud enough.Easy to use even for phone calls, no issues.Battery life is no where near 9 hours, who the hell thought that one up!!At most, 4 hours max and thats just not good enough for a bit of kit at this price range.I bought these for ultra marathons and they wont last a normal marathon for me at my age.....I will keep them as the sound quality is great but I am now in the market for ones with genuine long battery life.Hope that helps

The battery life on this depends on how you use it, without the extra bass and on normal volume it averages 6-8hrs. Pairing is very quick. Have not tried microphone yet.While running/hiking in deep forest I need to have awareness of surroundings, this is perfect for that, the sound of the headset does not reduce environmental sounds. With the ear plugs you get an ANC like experience.Construction is very high quality.The only downside, as another reviewer mentioned, is that the wire at the back of the neck isn't always flush so with a high jacket (say in an downpour or hiking), it gets a bit awkward.That being said, the position of the headphones matters surprisingly little, so this last point is easily solved by just moving the headband. The sound quality is great, and if you need in high noise environments more volume, rather than raising the volume, just softly press the headset to your skin, the increase in volume and signal to noise is surprising.I don't use the lights, but they're useful to have on night runs. Controls are easy to access.For its price, highly recommended
