I use shockz for running - stable and your ears are totally unobstructed.


Yea AirPods transparency is great, but Shockz is another level. It’s even better than the ray bans because other people can’t hear the audio, and way more comfortable than any in-ear ones.


Sadly (or not, depending on your bent, I don't mind it at all), their latest versions feature a back firing driver that pairs with the bone conduction, I assume because that was the only way to get better sound quality. You can, however, still throw it in bone conduction only mode.


Wait, are you saying that audio from the ray bans will be heard by anyone around??


Well, it's a speaker. Its not using bone conduction.

Probably not a very loud speaker but if someone is next to you then surely they'd hear it.
