Product review: ZAKOO Bone Conduction Sunglasses Wireless Bluetooth Glasses Headset Headphone Sport Earphone

This is my first set of bone conducting headphones. If you are the type of person that does not like earphones in your ears like my husband this is a good solution.  You can hear the sound in a similar way as if you had the ear buds in your ears.  However, you also hear all the other sounds.  Which is great if you are using the headphone and want to hear the other sounds for safety reasons (say, running or exercising outdoors). However, if you are listening to the music in the office to suppress noise and chatter they don't work because your ears are not blocked.  The package includes ear plugs for that reason but I suspect people who are interested this type of headphones do not want to use ear plugs.

This earphones work by conducting sound through the bones in your skull.  This means the sunglasses has to be pretty tight in your face so the silicone circles  press against your face. The sunglasses are a pretty good fit on me, and I did not need any adjustments. They fit tightly but not uncomfortably.  The sound quality is not as good as really good earphones, but I found them acceptable for background music and audio books.

The sunglasses have one light indicator.  When it is green the earphone is fully charged, when it is red it is not fully charged.  Pressing the on/off button for give seconds seconds puts the unit into pairing mode, and the light starts flickering in alternating red and green color.  Searching for Bluetooth devices I was able to see Vision 5B and connect with the earphones.  If you can't seem to switch to these earphones check if the battery is low, once I fully charged the sunglasses I could easily pair and switch to the headphone by pressing the on/off button for 2 seconds.

The sunglasses come with three removable lenses including plain no color lenses. I was able to use the earphones as background music while I work for 7 hours.

The sound quality is not as good as high quality earphones, and it also depends on how well the sunglasses fit your face.  Both the volume and the sound quality are effected.  

For people who listen to music while jog or bike these headphones offer greater safety and convenience that traditional earphones.
