What's the most energetic thing you do with your earbuds or headphones?

I was fortunate enough to score a pair of the OWS earbuds, from Oladance, to test, and I can say that if these are anywhere near as good, soundwise, they are magnificent! I called them an orchestra in my ears, and they are incredible to use, from point of view of ease of control, and battery strength (extraordinary!!). Best of all, so clear, so crisp and sooo comfortable that - despite the weird shape (at first) I forgot I was wearing them numerous times. Still my go-to headphone of choice, and I’m off to look at getting a pair of these sports for my son, who is a sports science student. Thanks for a great and informative honest review.

That color way reminds me of the old Sony Sports Walkmans

This is one I’ve wondered about”how come nobody did this already?”😂

It is refreshing to see this kind of product reviewed. It is something new and kind of different.

I’m excited to try these. I have Oladance’s Wearable Stereo 2 and their recent OWS Pro, but I like the idea of tactile buttons and a neckband like my old Shokz bone conduction headphones (I still get some ear fatigue from the OWS Pro just hanging on my ears). I just tried out Soundcore’s Aerofit Pro and liked that they had the optional neckband, but returned them due to sound quality issues, so I’m hoping these might be the ones I need.

Hi Mark - thanks for the review. Did you find any issue with sound leakage?

Hey Mark, thanks for your videos - I love your style. Can you tell me what it would be like using these if you wear glasses? I notice there could be an issue with the way they connect to your ears etc

Just got mine in. Had them preordered a few months ago. One nice extra which nobody mentioned yet, is that you can use them in a walkie talkie mode too, which seems really handy if you go out cycling with friends who have a compatible (Oladance only?) device.

Can you mute mic from the headset when on a call?

Any noise bleed? And could you turn off the noise canceling? Also, is this the first product of its kind?

I've been using oladance for a couple years now, love the OWS pro though I find the touch controls super finnicky, defiantly backing these for the tactile buttons and the neck band just a little more secure.

What about your neighbor hearing what you are listening to? With bone conduction that seems to be an issue. Thanks.

I was going to buy the shokz open fit after your review, as my AirPods Pro cause ear irritation. Now I’m confused !!

Mark!, Thanks Much !.......

There's only one reason I'm exploring options other than the bone conduction earphones I've been using for several years. Where they rest on top of my ears I experience pain when the stems of my glasses are in place. This is why I'm exploring ear-cuff form factor open ear devices. I'm skeptical that any product that rests on top of my ears wouldn't cause this same discomfort. I wish some reviewer would address this issue, but haven't come across anyone that does.

I have the Oladance OWS Pros, but wear glasses and once I was used to the (at first) weird shape and getting them on my lugs, I forgot I was wearing them, when wearing my glasses. I still do!

@@michaelnewman4302, on my ears. Lugholes, or lugs, is a term for ears, in the U.K., and Australia - perhaps elsewhere in the Commonwealth, I’m not sure. 🤔🤣

How is the volume compared to the OWS Pro?

I am perplexed why you used a lav mic instead of using the headset mics to records your audio, you know, so we could hear how good the mic quality is.

How did you find the bass - is it compromised compared to in-ear designs? I notice Oladance states their team comprises "core members of the Bose R&D team who specialise in sports earphones" - which sounds good to me. No indication of price on the website yet though...

It’s very impressive given that these leave your ear canal completely open.

The headphones give me headaches, and the in-ear irritates my ear canal. I had a pair of Shure that I got the in-ear custom-made, but still, I have not found a pleasant way to listen to some music, perhaps this is it.

What’s the price??

Cam you mute the mic from headset?

Nothing inspires my immediate and complete trust more than someone saying "trust me" in the first 5 seconds of speaking at me.

You might want to be careful with that approach to life, mate.

For some reason I cannot seem to find the buy or price section on their website?!

As noted in the video - it’s arriving soon as a crowdfunding campaign (platform to be confirmed).

And we are suppose to buy it how? There is no buying option on the link you provide … 🙄

Because they’re arriving as a crowdfunding campaign, as mentioned numerous times in the video and the description.

HMM proprietary charger is annoying. I wasn't too impressed with my OWS Pros, liked the OWS 1 better. I still like my Shokz. Though, discovered the TOZO open ears and those are amazing, while also being like 1/5 the price of the Pros. Also, if they're not offering two sizes like the Open Run Pros and I even think the base Open Run... then I can't buy them, since I needed the Large in Open Run Pros to fit my massive head.

The bass on these headphones is horrible

saw the charger port....naaah next

This video is not a good advertisement. A lot of questions in the comments are not answered. Mark, you haven't answered the question about comfortable wearing glasses on top of these headphones. One more important problem is a unique charger! Why there is not a C-type?

If only I had the time, mate. They’re very comfortable while wearing glasses. As for no USB-C charging, that’s a question for the manufacturer (this isn’t an advertisement). Thanks for tuning in.

There’s no way the bass doesn’t suck

Totally agree. There’s no way an enhanced bass algorithm whatever that is! will produce a good bass like a pair of in ear or over ear headphones.

@MarkEllisReviews

No one - including oladance - is suggesting they offer the same bass response as a pair of over ear headphones. They are entirely different products.

Understood Mark, I guess it depends on how much you value a quality sound when you're training in the gym or running versus the convenience of them never falling out.

What is going on with the price???
