Tayogo Bone Conduction Headphones, Wireless Bluetooth Bone Conducting Earbuds, Open Ear Headset with Mic, for Running, Cycling, Yoga-Red

2022 Update: So, this is the third pair I have bought of these headphones. I don't expect tech to last very long. Charging ports get loose; cats chew on cords, they get tossed on hard surfaces by accident, etc. Nothing lasts forever. The first pair lasted about a year, and one side died after it had an altercation with a tile floor. I wasn't surprised. I got another pair, which lasted almost two years before the charging port finally gave up. This doesn't surprise me either because my two-year-old flagship phone is doing the same thing - as tech gets old, it starts to fail. Anyway, when the 2nd pair failed, I immediately got these again. Could I go for something more expensive that might last a bit longer? Sure, but it's tech, and it's only a matter of time before it fails. The price on these is within my budget; they have excellent sound and do their job well. That's what matters.I ran across bone conduction technology while reading a novel. I was intrigued.I was a telephone operator many years ago and used to wear a Plantronics over the hear headset. It came with a set of "buds" made of very soft plastic that went in the ear canal. I wore a size 3; the largest was a size 10. I guess I have small ear canals. They were very comfortable.Then, small headphones came out that "fit" in your ear. They never fit in my ear correctly. They hurt. I have never liked over the head and with big phones over your ears on a hot day; no, thank you!So, bone conduction seemed like a winning technology. I ordered these to see. Set up was dead simple, and they were partially charged, so I could use them immediately.Wow! I love these so much I would marry them! The sound is exceptional. I like Classical music, and these really do justice to my favorite composers.There is a tiny bit of sound leakage if you have your music source at the highest volume and a person is sitting right next to you, but that's to be expected. In the same scenario, they vibrate if the volume is very high, but don't distort, which is just great.I wear glasses, and they fit perfectly. I took the dog for a walk and, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, even wore a facemask and glasses with these on. We enjoyed a brisk walk while I could hear music and what was happening around me.My phone rang, and it had no issues automatically switching to Bluetooth. The sound quality was great, and my caller could hear me just fine.Charging was simple and fast. The little light went from red to blue in about 15 minutes. I haven't had them long enough to find out how long the charge lasts, and I'll update that later.These are so comfortable, if I didn't hear the music, I would forget they were on.

I bought these to wear when riding my bike and when working out. They work great for working out, have decent (not ground-shaking, but decent) base, and the volume up/down controls work fine, as does the MFB (to play/pause). I wear them sitting just in front of my ear.I also tested them making phone calls. I was hoping to use the MFB for starting Google assistant, but no such luck. It works to answer/end calls, play/pause, and start pairing, but will not bring up the assistant, so need to do that on the phone itself.It does work while riding the bike, but you need to be careful when putting it on. First time, I put it on first, then my sunglasses, then I buckled my bike helmet. When I did this, the tightness of the straps makes the frame of the headset bow a little bit, lessening the contact with my head, so less sound. So, I tried strapping on the helmet first, then the headset (so it goes over the straps), then putting on my sunglasses. Doing it this way, it works better and I get decent sound. I have an eBike and I ride at more than 20mph, and even with the wind noise, I get decent sound with this (and not even have to fully turn it up). So, keep this in mind if you use it while riding.So, it is a great unit. My only complaint is not being able to use Google assistant. Maybe in a future design, they can incorporate that into the MFB somehow.

I am SO disappointed. I bought a pair of these exact ones almost 5 years ago and they are just now starting to go out on me. So I came back to replace them because they were the best headphones for such a great price. And again, lasted me almost 5 years. I get on here and am shocked at how many bad reviews there are now but wanted to believe it was still great quality. No. Not even close. First, they were completely dead out of the box. Dead give away that their not brand new. Not only sending me a refurbished or used pair.. The sound was SO muffled I couldn’t make anything out even on max volume. I have sent so many people I work with to get these exact headphones because they were so great for me, just to find out their trash now. So, yeah that’s awesome. I would give zero stars if I could, I am so upset that this is now the quality you’re putting out there.

Edited: it was my Bluetooth keyboard. For some reason, when the keyboard was on, it interfered with **any** BT headset.Otherwise, excellent piece of kit.Original: Purchased them 2021 Jan 8. Lasted until 2024 Feb 1 Rest in peace.Pro: Clear sound. Strong band. Water-resistant as advertised. Lightweight. Mostly comfortable.Cons: Dead. That's a big one. All of a sudden, it started to go "Connecting..." "Connected..." "Disconnected..." over and over. It seemed to stabilize after 3 or 4 minutes, but watching a YouTube video resulted in hearing a word (or approx. 0.25 seconds) every 2 or 3 seconds. Tried removing & re-adding the device, rebooting the computer, powering on and off the headset, and even supposedly resetting the headset (as per one helpful article.)No dice. Tayogo's website doesn't have firmware bin to try to factory reset it.The only other downside is that the neckband doesn't work _for me_ when I'm laying down. Aside from that, I've been talking up this headset to friends and family.Now I have to eat my words. Thank you, Tayogo S2. Now, begone.

So far they work perfectly. And after having traditional types of earbuds it was nice not to have ear pain. I use them while I write and they easily connect with my desktop and my cell. I would purchase again. Sound quality is good and has great bass. They are a little too big for me as far as the distance between the earpieces but I figured something out to keep them in place.
