I used them for the last 6 months. They do exactly what I want them to do. I can listen to music and podcasts and I can easily hear if a car is about to kill me. I bought them to hear the outside world and my music or podcasts are the same time. They do so much better than my Pixel Buds and Pixel Buds Pro that I used prior to that. I can hear external noises and they don't fall out of my ears.

you must be using the amplifier then or your ears are better than me, I can’t cancel the external noise and pull them off, only works in two scenarios.
1. In office and
2. Running in nature
but gives you great situation awareness.
Ah. I don't live in a city. It's very rural here. I only have a dozen cars at most pass me while running around my neighborhood. The other times I'm trail running.
I am jealous now that you live in peaceful and stress free environment, but they are good. I haven’t tried with android and found that windows boost the music more than my iOS on Shokz.
