CXK Bone Conduction Headphones, Open Ear Headphones Bluetooth 6.0 with Mic

Are you d/Deaf or hard of hearing? Do you wear hearing aids that don't have great music streaming quality, and you can't wear earbuds with them? My friends, this is the solution. I had tried a bone conduction walkie-talkie headset at a previous job and it had been a pretty good upgrade compared to the on-ear headset that broke my receiver wire and certainly did not help the asymmetry of my hearing loss. So I was pretty hopeful that a bone conduction Bluetooth headset would work, now that I'm in a role where everyone's listening to music all the time but I still need my hearing aids on. First thing I have to say: PEOPLE AROUND YOU **CAN** HEAR THIS. I tested it with two family members with great hearing and they heard it well enough standing a few feet away from me. However, working in a noisy environment as I do, it's no big deal. But if you yourself are looking for a solution that's silent to those around you, this ain't it. The headset fits great around the back of my head, and let me tell you, I have a BIG head. If you have thick hair like I do as well, you may find that you need to tuck the back loop underneath your hair for better comfort. I tested the sound quality a few different ways: - no hearing aids, no earplugs - with earplugs (included) - wearing hearing aids, but powered off - wearing hearing aids, powered on None of these gave any reduction in sound quality, no muffling effects. Clear transmission through and through. They are comfortable enough to wear for the entirety of an 8-9-hour day at work. Unlike my hearing aids, which pitch hissyfits if they have to try and communicate via Bluetooth while my phone is in my jeans pocket, these have no issue with Bluetooth connection regardless of pocket placement. I'll say that they can slip out of place or go askew at times but usually not. Also, a huge selling point is that they have CONTROL BUTTONS!! 3 buttons on the right-hand side to play/pause, skip forward, rewind, and increase/reduce volume. An excellent feature since bosses don't love when you pull your phone out to mess with your music. I've had no issues with durability or quality yet and it's been a few months. They haven't broken, decreased performance quality, or even chipped their paint or anything so far. Especially if you, like me, feel a bit unsure about shelling out for a higher-priced headset like from the SHOKZ brand, this is a great set to test out if bone conduction headsets are going to work for you.

This is a bone conduction headset, so it operates differently than normal in-ear or over-ear earbuds. In fact, it doesn't cover the ear at all; your ear canal is completely unobstructed. Rather, the disks you see sit against the skin of your head just in front of your ears (just in front of the tragus -- look it up!), leaving your ears completely open. You can't hear any sound from the headphones if the disks are more than an inch or so away from your head, so you could be playing these at max volume and the person sitting next to you wouldn't be able to hear anything. Plus, since your own ears are not covered, you can also hear ambient sound. That is a plus and minus: if you are on a plane or public transit watching a movie on your phone and want to shut out sound around you, this is a bad choice. But if you're listing to music while on a run or (particularly) a bike ride, and for safety sake you need to be able to hear ambient noise (a passing car or someone shouting out a warning), these are perfect. I primarily use headphones while running or working out, so I need to be able to hear outside sounds, and earbuds (or particularly over-the-ear headphones) could be dangerous -- I won't use headphones while bike riding because the danger from not hearing an approaching car could be deadly. But these are perfect for bike riding. The quality of the sound is good -- again, it takes a little getting used to, hearing through your skull rather than your ears. I don't see any drop-off between regular earbuds and these in terms of sound enjoyment. Only downside -- because volume depends on contact with the skin, the headset moves a little when you move your head (especially when you look directly up), which can impact the volume. Again, it just takes a little getting used to. Quality is good, battery life seems good so far. The on-off button must be pressed for 3 seconds to turn on and 5 seconds to turn off, which is longer than other headsets; and if you take it off and set it down while it's still connected, you'll run down the battery without knowing it (because you can't hear that it's still on). One other thing to get used to. The other buttons are easy to use, and they're spaced far enough apart to be able to use without looking. I've been wearing these exclusively for the last week or so after getting them, and I think they'll be my go-to for workouts. They'll definitely be my go-to for bike rides, since I can easily wear them with a bike helmet on, too.

Works well, used at gym. Used with phone call. Recommend for people with short hair. Works best when it makes contact with skin. Will work over ear. Sounds louder when your ears are plugged. More comfortable than sticking ear buds in your ear. Stays on when moving your head quickly. It’s not high fidelity, but sounds good enough to not be distracting. Gets the job done. Control buttons easy to access with my fat fingers.

I wanted to experience bone conduction but did not want to invest too much in case I did not like it. Overall these work better than I would have expected for the price but there do seem to be a few problems with them. On the positive side, they are comfortable and the battery does last a long time. Also while the audio is not great it is fairly good, better than I was expecting for the price. Finally, I have read that other products in this price range can be too quiet that is not the case with these. In fact when outdoors (e.g. cross country skiing) I find if I want to hear things going on around me I need to keep the volume very low (but can still hear the audio just fine). The not so good things are that they don't stay in place very well and I frequently have to move them back into place, and things like my shirt/jacket collar frequently bumps them out of place. I have also had them turn themselves off a few min after I start using them (fully charged battery). And a few times they have what I am assuming is gone to "sleep" and while my phone indicated they were still connected they would not pass audio so I had to shut them off, turn them back on and reconnect them to my phone to get them working again. While the battery lasts a looooong time, there is no charge indication. Apparently they don't beep or give any other indication that the battery is low and so will just shut off when the charge is depleted. While that was just an annoyance when listening to music, it would be worse if I were on a call or using them for a remote meeting. So while I will say they are better than I was expecting, I would describe these as a low risk way to try out bone conduction. But they not something I would recommend unless the low price was the most important feature. I will probably be replacing these with a higher end product soon.

Comfort and Design The CXK Bone Conduction Headphones are an excellent option for those with sensitive ears. I was initially hesitant to try them due to their unique design, but they proved to be incredibly comfortable. The headphones rest lightly on the outside of the ear, near the ear opening, without pressing into the ear canal, making them ideal for extended wear. This design eliminates the discomfort often associated with traditional earbuds or over-ear headphones, which is a huge plus for those with ear sensitivities. Sound Quality The sound quality is surprisingly good for an open-ear design. The bone conduction technology delivers clear and immersive audio, even though the headphones don’t sit inside the ear. While the bass might not be as deep as some traditional headphones, the overall clarity is impressive. Whether I was listening to music or podcasts, the audio was crisp and well-balanced. The sound quality is more than sufficient for everyday use, making these headphones a great companion for a wide range of activities. Call Quality During voice calls, the CXK Bone Conduction Headphones perform admirably. The built-in microphone picks up my voice clearly, and those on the other end of the call reported that I sounded natural and easy to hear. The open-ear design also allows for better situational awareness, so I could hear my surroundings while on calls—something that’s especially useful when outdoors. While background noise can creep in, the overall call quality is reliable and functional for most situations. The included earbuds can be used if desired to cancel background noise, although I did not find it necessary. Ease of Use The headphones are very user-friendly, with all controls conveniently located on the right side of the neckband. The buttons are intuitive, making it easy to adjust volume, skip tracks, or take calls without fumbling. The Bluetooth 5.3 connection is stable and pairs quickly with devices, ensuring a seamless experience every time. Battery Life Battery life is a standout feature. True to the product’s claims, the headphones easily last for 8 hours on a single charge. I tested this by using them for about 7 hours continuously, and they didn’t show any signs of running out of power. This longevity makes them ideal for long workouts, commutes, or full-day use without needing a recharge. Durability and Fit The headphones stayed securely in place during various activities, including exercising and riding a motorcycle. The IPX6 waterproof rating ensures they can withstand sweat and light rain, making them suitable for outdoor use. The lightweight design also adds to the overall comfort, as they never felt heavy or intrusive, even after prolonged wear. The material of the headphones also feels high-quality and durable. The CXK Bone Conduction Bluetooth 5.3 Headphones are a great option for those seeking a comfortable, open-ear alternative to traditional headphones. They shine in comfort, sound quality, and battery life, making them particularly appealing for users with sensitive ears or those who dislike in-ear headphones. The quality during voice calls is also solid, with clear voice transmission and good situational awareness. Whether you’re running, cycling, or just taking calls on the go, these headphones deliver a reliable and enjoyable experience.

Received these - X14 - headphones today; this will be an initial review as this is the second set of this type of hearing device. I'm also comparing these to earbuds and over in-ear buds with wire attached. PROS 1. Wide variety of functions w/o app that other sets require. Functions included without use of an app: Answer/end/reject call. Voice assist for hands free functions while working out or otherwise busy. Volume +/-. Play/pause. Previous song/podcast. Next song/podcast. This is important to me so that I don't have to pull out my phone to use an app function, or remove headphone to listen to some one talking to me, or drop ear buds while trying to free myself from sounds. So adjusting to someone speaking is as simple as a quick tap and the headphones stay in place. 2. Sound is very nice. The volume does NOT have to be turned on full to hear speaking, music, or videos. It doesn't BOUNCE against my head with high volume and base. 3. Fit sits comfortably by riding close to hairline in back of head without touching skin anywhere except near the pads in front of the ear. 4. Has a built in microphone which is sensitive enough to allow caller to hear my responses easily without having an audience in the public eye. CONS For all other devices - not headphone - functions, whether (phone, tablet, computer) must be performed manually. For example, I'm working on transcriptions from device using CXK X14 Headphnoes and an alarm sounds. I have to turn alarm off from devise manually, but I can continue to hear work that I'm transcribing. I put this in CONS as I missed a few key strokes with left hand, but I WAS ABLE to continue work with right hand. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase. With my earbuds I ALWAYS worried about losing my investment if my hoodie bumped them wrong, or f I got too close with a comb or brush, my grooming would not be complete. With over the ear earbuds, they were secure and comfortable except for the itching or if someone wanted my attention. Then there was the issue of the wire, but I always ran the wire up the front of my shirt so the wire was less visible and out of the way. This set I would recommend.

I got these on a whim because cone conduction has always fascinated me. I've tried several over the years and returned almost every single one of them because the sound quality is dreadful at best. I figured these would come in handy for working out, and as long as the microphone wasn't totally awful, they'd be worth it. When I took them out of the package I was immediately struck by how light these are, 28g it says and after throwing them on a scale can confirm. I've got a giant head so the fit and comfort is awesome. Other than some light and barely noticeable pressure on the ears, can't even hardly tell they're on. Bone conduction's big selling point is that you can hear everything going on around you, and for that, these deliver. I'm listening to a Twitch stream right now and I can hear the keys on my laptop being pressed as I type this. Conversation is fine, I can engage in and respond even to whispers. That's a plus, and also a minus if you're looking for noise cancelling. These don't cancel any noises around you. Pairing is super easy, I've paired them to my phone, apple watch and my PC, all three were simple and effective. Battery life seems to be quite good, I fully charged these when I first got them and then let them sit for almost two weeks. The battery was still in the mid 80s and it's only down to 77% after almost an hour of wearing them. Now the bad stuff: The audio quality is dreadful. With these if you turn up the volume loud, the little speaker pods actually vibrate and tickle my ears. The highs are fine, but lows are non existent and mids sound like there's a speaker at the bottom of a well. If you're looking for audio quality, these aren't going to cut it. I'll grant you I'm coming from AirPods Pro, so my standards are a bit different. The microphone is dreadful. I made two calls and joined a Zoom call to try everything out. The people on the Zoom call couldn't hear me at all unless I was yelling. The phone calls were slightly better, but both callers immediately said I sounded like I was in a tube and they struggled to hear me. The microphone also tended to pick up a lot of ambient noise. I'll probably be sending these back, but at least i tried. Can't recommend these for anything but casual listening while exercising. If that's all you need, these will do.

Update: The seller reached out an offered to replace the broken pair, which is working perfectly so far. Hopefully this one will last longer, because I love them otherwise! I love this little set, but I've had it less than a year and it's already starting to short or something. About half the time these days, the left ear just doesn't work. If I touch the unit or shift it slightly on my head, it will sometimes come back, like an internal connection has come loose or something. I know they're not expensive, but I'd expect more longevity. Anytime I'm not wearing them, they're sitting on my desk, so it's not like they're getting any wear or tear in a purse or bookbag or anything where this type of breakage would be understandable.
