Alright, Kevin. These earphones look really interesting. I use headphones for at least 4 hours every day, sometimes up to 8 hours, mostly when I’m working on my videos etc. And also for music listening and gaming. This is because I live in a block of flats and speakers aren’t really an option. My favourite headphone type are closed back over ear. This is due to over 40 years of various uses for headphones and my previous life as a music producer many years ago. For me personally, closed back over ear are the best for overall pure audio quality, especially for mixing and the closed back nature blocks out a lot of outside sound. However, for outdoor use, large cabled closed back headphones aren’t really the best option, due to size, convenience and you can also look like a bit of a tool 😆 I have tried many wired and Bluetooth in ear headphones (ear buds etc.) for my outdoor use and while some of them do sound great, I find in ear headphones become uncomfortable, for me, quite quickly. I’ve also tried bone conducting headphones but found them to be a bit awkward as the ones I tried didn’t sound so good and they wrapped around the back of your head. So, this style of open ear air conducting headphone looks very interesting. Once this year is out of the way with, I’ll have to take a closer look at these type of headphones early next year for my outdoor stuff. I don’t mind hearing the sound around me when listening to music outdoors, in fact, I do prefer a bit of ambient sound when outdoors so I don’t lose concentration of my environment when I’m walking about. I can always use any old pair of in ear headphones when on public transport, so others aren’t annoyed by the annoying buzzing of someone close by with headphones. So thanks for this review, it’s given me a really good option for something to look into. Anyway, I hope you and your family have an ace Christmas time and I wish you all great health and happiness for the coming year 👍 Cheers, Dave.

Good to hear from you Dave. I hope you're well.
I only use speakers in the kitchen, but use speakers when recording, playing games, in bed, walking about, running etc.
I do need to pick up dedicated studio headphones for video editing. I've always just made do with old gaming headphones that go over the ear.
I found that these sound similar to bone conduction solutions, but they rest closer to your ear. Id definitely take a look at air conduction solutions as they're so comfortable for walking around with.
I was tempted with the new airports, but I can't justify it as I have a few pair of wireless earphones already.
Hope you have a fantastic Christmas and New year too. 👍👍👍
