Sony Street Style On The Ear Headphones

Aesthetics: 5/5 Sound Quality: 4.5/5 Comfort: 4/5 Sustainability: 4.5/5 Awesome looking, great sounding headphones. Sound quality is close to higher end models — probably the best you could expect for this style and price point. Very comfortable when first put on. Somewhat less comfortable, though still pretty good, after a couple hours of use. I attribute this drop in comfort to a smaller ear cup size and less padding than larger over-the-ear models. Probably an inevitable trade off in trying to make a smaller, less bulky product. Like the use of fsc wood and recycled aluminum, both in terms of style and sustainability. The headphones definitely appear to have some plastic/synthetic materials too though (headband cover, ear pads, etc.). The HOM website says they use some recycled plastic/silicone, which is okay-ish but comes with its own set of environmental and social issues. Hopefully they will eventually find a way to entirely eliminate plastics/synthetics from their products. Another thing that could be improved upon in terms of sustainability is the battery. There should ideally be a way to easily replace and recycle it when it eventually wears out. For that matter, it would be great if HOM would take back all its products at the end of their life and recycle all the components to the extent possible. Aluminum, steel and batteries can be recycled indefinitely. All in all, a solid effort to make a quality, eco friendlier product.

My wife struggled with in the ear and over the head style headphones. I let her borrow my shokz, but they did not function as well with her hair. The new over the ear design is the perfect solution for her.

I absolutely love these for running! The open-ear style headphones feel more comfortable and safe than others I've used and it doesn't sacrifice sound at all. I am a smaller person and I got the mini which fit perfectly. I've been telling everyone that these are a game-changer!

I really don't like IEMs and on or over ear headphones get uncomfortable due to the heat/sweaty earcups etc. I was using pixel buds because I enjoy truly wireless headphones and then these were released. I daily drive these, for hours at a time, they're very comfortable and I am so happy with them. I hope this truly wireless ear-speaker style becomes really popular and we start getting lots of competition because this is by far my favorite style of headphones and I want it to never go away!

My first pair of Sennheiser Headphones and I REALLY like them. Sound is excellent and the around the ear style cups close outside sound VERY well.

I only recently became aware of the out of ear style headphones and became familiar with Shokz through a promo on my Garmin fitness app. So I decided to give them a try. Very pleased so far. The sound is great! The fit is pretty good-I shave my head so that probably has a negative impact on that part. They are easy to set up and use.

I needed to replace the ear pads on my Sony MDR-7506 headphones - this for the second time... I use them to monitor audio levels during production. The originals and previous replacements wore out quickly, leaving flakey black plastic bits all over my head, face and ears. NOT acceptable. I am trusting that Sheepskin leather will hold up much better.

The sound of this Sony ear-bud is exceptional for such a low cost! I have used these E9LP ear-bud headphones.... on the go for casual listening and at home critical listening and they do not disappoint! At such a low price, I own several pairs. I am very happy with the comfort and the high sound quality! Highly recommended...

For the money, these are great. Comfortable over-ear style.

This replacement ear pad is better than the original for my Sony MDR-V6 headphones. I use these for recording marching band contests and they are very comfortable.
