    My uncle gave me his old pair of Taygo S2's, first time I'd ever even heard of this type of headphones, and now I basically never take them off. GREAT tool for helping manage my ADHD. People really should put more effort into advocating for these, both as an ADHD tool, and as a general Bluetooth headset for parents and office workers since they don't mess with your auditory awareness at all.

    Love the fact that your daughter gave the wrong price order, to get you to agree to letting her keep her favourite pair on the condition of getting the correct price order, then when it came down to it got the order spot on. Not necessarily suggesting she conned you, but respect to her for a good con.

    I don’t care for Bluetooth so I bought some wired ones on Amazon. Mid range price. I still use an iPod with a 5mm plug. The ones I got we’re comfortable and felt secure. The issue was the really low volume. Poor sound quality. I had to turn my iPod up to max and the volume was just not there. I went back to wired Skull Candy or Phillips with ear hooks. Much better

    Of these three, there is no doubt that Openrun Pro is the best. But in my experience, it's not the best. I've used Openrun Pro and Wissonly Hi Runner , and I think Wissonly would be better. It has higher waterproof level, 32GB memory, and can be used for both running and swimming. The important thing is that the price is lower.

    There is another aspect for me. I suffer from bad hearing but with the sound going directly to the bone, it jumps past the "broken parts" in my ear.
    I watched and read a lot of reviews and went for the Shokz, and I'm very satisfied👌

    You forgot to mention a few things that are very important you maybe didn't know. Is it a real boneconduct, is it open ear, are they enclosure speakers (fakes)? Connectivity is important to. does they work easy on more than one device? Most important one for me is, wich has the best bass sounds? I have bought a few of them over the years, boneconduct glasses and headphones. The cheapest ones works ok but the sound sucks bcs of the lack of basses.,It sounds like a cheap mini radio.... Also I have a medical problem with my right ear. My right ear doesn't hear as good as my left ear. So if I use a REAL BONECONDUCT then I hear the sound equal over both ears as if I had no problems at all. For thiese ppl is boneconduct great. I say real bcs some chinese boneconducts are fake. A loudspeaker hided in a plastic headphone isn't a boneconduct. Some has holes in the plastic for the sound... again these are also no boneconduct products but opren ears. Watch out buying these products.
