I’m a 9-1-1 dispatcher and have developed tinnitus from two decades wearing a headset and having people literally screaming in my ear. I’m really curious how these would sound compared with my traditional in-ear headset. Enjoyed the video and look forward to more of your music mixing content. 😊

As a remote worker in a high pressure job, this would be perfect to reduce zoom fatigue. Thanks for sharing! Didn’t know these were mainstream enough to rely on until now.

Good to see you back.

it's so cool, it's like have transparency mode on all the time and hear what going on with surrounding clearly without turning down music. also the microphone sample seemed fairly good.

Thanks Johnathan for continually creating videos even though you’re going through your own problems… love how these headphones don’t have to go in your ear. I hate how earphones hurt my ears after awhile.

I feel like this is the perfect headset for me. As a content moderator, my job requires me to listen to audios and attend online meetings from time to time. When I’m at the office, this headset should be perfect if i can talk to my colleagues while doing my work 😮

Glad you're feeling better Johnathan! The best feature of these is definitely not having something in or over your ears. I have 3-4 different types of headphones but they all, at some point, make me miss something that's going on in the environment. While that may be good for some instances, it's not good in the way that I need to use them sometimes. Keep up the good work!

I am open to the idea, pun intended. It would be useful for my daughter. She's looking for decent headphones, injured her eardrum, and had an infection in the same ear a while back. She's doing better now, but the Opencomm UC sounds like a good idea.

Not having something in your ear sounds just wonderful, especially for a prolonged period of time. Looks like great stuff.

This is pretty cool! Thank you so much for taking a chance on these, even though they are sponsored! I love that these aren’t in your ears, and I can wear these at home while I’m working.

Am excited to experience that bone conduction thing. I'm kinda shocked (pun intended) that such tech exists. I also love that this doesn't require you to put it in your ear because as much as I want to listen to calls or music, I don't want to be completely unaware of my surroundings. Yeah. Would love to try this.

I am deaf and have been wearing Cochlear Implant since age 2 years old back in 1997. Been through the first failure of implant in 1999 and reimplanted. 2nd implant lasted my whole childhood and to 2018 due of old tech incompatibility had to replace it. 3rd implant lasted one year and half as failure again. Now on 4th implant since 2021 summer and my favorite feature is the bluetooth built in the sound processor on my ear and can hear sounds and music directly to my head while no one knows I am listening lol. I would get this if I was fully hearing person. Love the video Jonathan!

It’s really awesome to see you back Johnathan, honestly I would LOVE to have these as I work from home and having the bone conduction vs traditional earcups would help soooooo much. not to mention that awesome battery life because a lot of days I work 11hr in my call center.

Love that it’s bone conduction and not in ear! Thank you for being so dedicated to giving us quality content 😊

Damn I want those! I love that not having something in your ears and can listen to music sounds so futuristic and for me who likes to listen to stuff with no headphone only with a speaker "but always having to go out side" that is such a grate gadget to have

I think my favorite feature by far is the fact that it’s built to be worn all day. Battery life, breathable build, and lightness are huge for the gym. Being able to hear around you and the ability to listen to music is awesome!

My favorite feature would be the fact that it’s not inside your ear the entire time. Ear fatigue is real. Especially as I work remotely so all my meetings are online. Thanks Jonathan.

Love that you can hear music clearly while also still hearing outside noise clearly without microphones that other earbuds/headphones use to let outside noise in

Bone conduction allowing me to keep my ears free would be my favorite feature, I’d definitely use this in the office for calls.

Seeing many bone conduction device in the past, this device certainly looks like it's execution is going to be awesome. For me I would certainly use it in my university where I can listen to the music and professor at the same time.

Hey Jonathan…arpit here….old time fan here since tld days…my fav video was your airpod review which you showed how it works and how call quality sounds and music pauses when you remove one earbud…that time i started listening to loote after that video…and it was not just a visual treat but altogether it was trear to my ears too…I was blown away by your efforts…keep it up and get well soon man..

I’m trusting you the moment you talk about the sponsorship instead of using shady techniques trying to conceal it! My favorite spec is the fact that my ears remains free 😊

These look Awesome ! for Zoom meetings and conference calls, its great to be able to hear your colleagues but at the same time have the ability to hear if someone calls you outside the headset. Wonderful! Keep it up Jonathan!

Bone conduction is so trippy! Awesome new tech that'd I'm sure many people would want to try! Being able to listen music without really isolating you from the world unlike what the airpods pro does. Sometimes you just want to listen to music and still be present in the moment. More power to you Jonathan! You're amazing

I've gotten to the point where I'm not sure I'll ever leave the Airpods lineup, specifically the Pros. They're just so integrated with the iPhones *duh* that it feels like it would be impossible to replace, but this definitely can catch your attention.

Honestly it seems like bone conducting headphones have finally come a long way. Not only do they last a long time but also allow you to be aware of your surroundings, it is absolutely amazing. Though for my work I wouldn't need such headphones, I'd love to gift them to my aunt who is always working on the phone.

"Being out of the way but entirely there" is such a great summary of why this product is interesting. Certainly would be a good enough differentiator for people who are in the market for a headset who are on conference calls for hours on end.

I’ve wanted bone conduction headphones since first playing MGS as a kid. The idea of having music/sound without noise bleed or drowning your own hearing is awesome.

Thanks for making this tech community feel so closely knit. I never expected to follow so closely to a tech channel when what I usually watch are make up videos or day-to-day vlogs!! I hope you feel 100% soon ❤

Really glad to see you making videos again! Hoping for a 100% recovery fam! My fav video is the Final Office tour!

Glad to hear you're doing better! Keep up the videos! My favorite features are the bone conduction and the adjustable mic. That would work perfectly with my profession.

Jonathan, I'm really glad that everything's almost back to 100% with your health man. Honestly, you're the one that got me into the apple space when you first dropped that Apple XR video back in 2018. Keep up the great content dude, you continue to inspire a lot of people

What surprises me the most is that a piece of hardware with this form factor doesn't stand out all that much. Thanks for the video! Keep it coming

First of all, I'm very happy about your health. I'm glad you're getting better and getting back in the game. Second, this is the reason why I love your videos Jonathan. You are honest, genuine and I love your perspective about tech. I see myself in you because I'm the same way. I'm glad to see you back and take care

The lightweight minimalist look of the headset is my favourite portion. Often I’m in meetings for 4-5 hours a day and with normal headphones, it kinda makes your head feel heavy after awhile so these bone conduction headset is perfect to get rid of that

They'd be useful because at work I'd finally be able to listen to music/take calls and still be able to hear my boss knock on my office door 😂

I mean this is so cool and the audio quality from the microphone is so good. This would make a great tool for the instances where I have to sit and listen to lectures 4-6 hours a day.

This vid didn't help me, necessarily, but did help out my friend who owns a business with employees that are regularly making calls and they're looking for new headsets. Two thumbs up.

Thanks for the video. I have friends with bone conduction headphones but I didn’t know they had a headset model. My favorite feature is definitely being able to “hear” audio via bone conduction while still maintaining better audio awareness of my environment.

Bone conduction is just such a wild concept. Would be really useful for video-calls in our open office . No more shouting!

Glad to hear your recovery journey is going well and hope the rest of it ends with the best possible outcome! I've always personally appreciated your focus and love of audio and music, esp when it comes to the tech world. Thanks for reviewing this!

Not needing to have something physically in your ear is super awesome for those times when you need to be on calls / video chat for hours a day. Some earphones start to cause minor pain after being in contact with my ears for a while (due to physical fit)

my professor at University used this type of bone conduction earphones. Always wondered what they feel like. It's almost liberating to have your ears open while listening to something only I can listen to.

Hey Jonathan - some of my favorite things about this headset is that it has that dongle that helps to keep a good connection and that it does not go in the ear so if you are on longer calls it is more comfortable to wear.

I watched Shevon's video just before this! I actually really rate these headsets and I feel like the fact that these are are lightweight could make video editing much easier for long periods. Especially since most times I just need to be able to hear not tune audio. Love this!

Honestly having that uc connector is what stands out to me. For some reason Bluetooth does not work with my work equipment so the change to wireless has been difficult with finding accessories that have a receiver.

This piece of tech seems really awesome. The thing I like about these are the fact that they don’t obstruct your ears.

My favourite video is definitely one that you made a few years ago around the time the iPhone 12 was released. It was a video titled "The iPhone 12 Doesn't Matter Right Now". I think a lot of your character and the type of person that you are was shown in that video and in all honesty, I wish the world was filled with more people like you

I feel like this can definitely fit my work set up! I work in IT support so when I join calls to help users I sometimes have users walk up and ask for help which then usually leads to me taking out my earbuds to help the person infrom of me. For real would be a game changer👏🏽!

It’s interesting how these rest outside of your ears and therefore it’s easier to speak with someone else while also on a call. I think people who work at a call center of 911 dispatch would really appreciate this as fatigue really happens with in ear headphones for long periods of time.

Really glad you’re thinking about innovative ways to implement sponsored content to where it doesn’t affect the viewer. In terms of this headphone, I’d say this would help with my workspace situation where I’ve got to stay attentive to things happening around me but also have to wear headphones for calls.

The favorite feature is that my ears are left open :)

Wow I finally found what to gift my wife. She’s been on calls lately due WFH, so this is gonna help her a lot. Thanks a ton.

As someone that sits on meetings or calls for close to 8 hours a day the fact that they're not on top or in my ears sounds like a GODSEND. Just... a big want from me! :D

Bone conduction is a neat thing. I love being able to keep stuff out of my ears and hear what is going on around me when I am out and about.

Hi Jon! It's nice to see that you are back to making tech videos. My favorite video on your channel is that one that you reacted to Lew's video on UnboxTherapy about you supporting his statement about the green vs blue bubble battle in schools. It was really nice to see my favorite KZfaqrs opening up to solve real societal problems. Also, I love when all tech KZfaqrs collaborate and make amazing videos and podcasts. Big fan of yours.

My favorite video of yours is your 2019 Mac Pro review. That elevated the review game so much and showed just what would be possible in a better world. Keep up the good work, man!

Welcome back, good to hear you are getting better. As a hearing aid wearer, that while they do stream, are not the greatest audio quality. As a work from home guy, I often find myself taking out my hearing aids to put on my air pods. Having a device that I could have on and my hearing aids in as well would be game changing.

My (probably like many others') favourite feature is the fact that you don't have anything physically in your ear. I experience ear fatigue quite often over prolonged usage of my Sony WF-1000XM3. Having a headset with which you don't have to worry about that must be great.

Honestly, one of my friends recommended me this device and I was really interested since you dont have to worry about the ear fatigue/pain. Looking forward to trying these in the future!

Been wanting to try bone conducting audio drivers before, these seem really unique, especially with the microphone. Perfect for a work environment where you'd like to hear your co-workers.

Dude, the times I’ve tried ANYTHING like that, it was so flopping crazy that I kinda couldn’t adapt 😂. Cool as heck just the same… Can’t wait for this sort of tech to level up. Awesomeness!

Very cool. So glad you’re on the mend and appreciate your dedication to amazing content. Thank you! Love the portability, battery life, and most importantly that nothing is actually in the ear.

Welcome back! I use the Shokz (but without the microphone boom) for cycling all the time. Perfect way to get music or turn-by-turn without impairing my awareness.

Thanks, Johnathan for continue creating and make tech videos, I hope all the best to you! The best feature I see from this headphone is that I don't need to plug them into my ears and I bet the transparency mode of this headphone is one of the best on the market

I'm on work calls constantly and I think having my ears not covered would be very helpful and convenient. Great product, great review!

Thank God you are feeling better brother! So happy to see back making content we love Minimalistic vibe, comfortability & bone conduction are my favorite features on this one.

You honestly make the best tech videos, I am so happy to see you remain positive despite having a condition that affects your daily life!

Always been intrigued by bone conduction and how it stands up to the outside world. Feels like the lack of noise cancellation isn't a massive issue until one or two crucial moments - primarily loud transport

I’m learning so much from your channel. I’ve recently been trying to get more into technology and understand what to look for in a gadget rather than just buying cause of a name. Your so helpful!!

Hopefully more companies will start using this. Someone who always seems like their on their phone. Having something not in my ears seems like a win to me. Also love the throwback those and the toothbrushes were crazy back then lol

Glad to hear you're doing much better now 🙏🏻

I’m glad to see you back here! I’m wishing you all the best :) I would love to use this in a more industrial setting in a warehouse setting so that I can still hear the environment around me and stay safe.

Happy to have you back Jonathan! Sending you all the positivity and good vibes!

Honestly glad your doing great as of lately. I watch my content creators daily and always look forward for something new to see just seeing the vibes you put out.

As someone who listens to music/podcasts/videos and is always on calls having that ability while also being able to hear my family would be amazing

Being able to enjoy your music without thinking that you'll get fatigue with your headset is awesome. Would love to try those out 👌

Supercool for using them in office, for meetings as well as listening to music. It’s like having a background music playing all the time, just like in the movies.

Glad to hear you're recovering well 🙏🏻Awesome review as always!

I've been eyeing these for the work from home times. I've tried their other bone conducing headphones and liked them but never bought one. These could convince me to make the change. That mic sounds so good too!

Pretty crazy that sometimes the latest tech is still replaced by time even when it feels super advanced! Having that sound awareness would be great to use during work while enjoying the audio.

I think the best part of this tech is the comfort it provides, I have like… dumbo elf ears…so my traditional over the ear headset always seriously hurts my ears after an hour of use, this would be an absolute game changer for my conference work.

I LOVE IT. Normal rubber tip earphones make my ears waxy & wet and I just don't like over the ear headphones. These will be perfect for me.

The fact that you can hear everything around you perfectly is the most insane feature for me. Definitely thinking of picking this up

I never understood why someone would get bone conducting headphones. But now that I have a baby, I get it. I could be on a meeting and still have open ears to monitor the little one.

Wining this will be a great way to deal with ear fatigue. I work in a crowded environment and make a lot of calls. Its great battery life and also make me aware of my surroundings

It's a useful for me because I commute a lot, so the unrivaled transparency that comes with it makes it so much convenient to listen to music while on the go.

The thing i like about this headset is it's not obstructing my ear. Because sometimes my ear gets irritated when using a headset for a long period of time.

I have been feeling so much fatigue with 9-5 calls and my normal music headphones are so heavy. This looks like a great option for someone who takes calls all day long.

Been following you since the day I started using a ‘smartphone’. Nothing but love and respect for you brother!

These look awesome! I’d definitely love these for shifts with numerous telemedicine visits.

That's so awesome! Ever since I was young I always wondered if it would ever be possible to make headphones that create the sounds only from vibrations. So crazy to see it irl. My favorite feature would have to be the protective case that comes with the headset

This gadget blew my mind! It's a great invention, where you can listen to music while being aware of your surroundings. I'll be keeping an eye out for new tech like this. Another great video Jonathan!

Really happy to see that you are doing great. Keep up the great work and stay healthy brother.

I hav been thinking so much about my audio consumption through Airpods and Headphones. And this looks super cool!

Your “NEW M1 iMac 24-inch Unboxing +Hands On! 93 (Blue)” video has to be one of my all time favs of yours

One of the first sponsored videos I’ve seen where it feels like it’s not a sponsored video. Great job Jon!

I’ve heard about bone conduction some while ago. Thanks for picking up that topic! Hmm, can’t imagine how good that really works, but nothing plugged into your ears sounds good. 👍🏼

It felt crazy when I first heard about bone conduction, it felt so weird and still feel good. Thanks for showing these up and also for keeping up making videos, may you get better fast.

For me putting on earphones right after a shower is something I always stayed away, because of the uncomfortable feeling I get due to the moisture presence inside cavities , this tech is resolving that issue!
