These in-ears have a clip-on design and are made to deliver quality and deep audio in a small form-factor.
"Hello everyone and welcome to another Gamereactor Quick Look.
This is a new product from Shox.
And Shox we've taken a look at before because of their bone conduction technology have produced some pretty special and nice working fitness headphones for a run or a swim or whatever the case might be."
"But this is actually a brand new venture for them because you might recognize the shape.
These are clip-on open headphones, meaning that they will actually, I won't demonstrate it here, but they will clip onto your ear and use open directional microphones to beam form the sound into your ear."
"It should be, and we've seen this before, for instance Bose has some open ultra clip-on headphones which works kind of the same way.
And well, for one, it shouldn't really bleed, but they are open.
But that also means that you are outside in the world in a different way than you otherwise would have if you had in-ears stuck into your ear canal."
"That means that you are more sensory aware of what's behind you.
It also means that you can perhaps focus a little bit more on doing what you need to do in a workout environment because you are not isolated and locked away.
It also means that they won't go anywhere when you are moving extremely or extensively because sometimes in-ears, for instance, that pressure inside your ear will change if you move."
"That is why we've, you've probably experienced that you have a very neat, nice fit and all of a sudden you can feel it coming loose as you move about.
This simply won't happen.
There are some good things here and there."
"These are IP54 certified, which means that they can take a splash and they can take some dust, but you won't be able to take them swimming, which for some people might be a, well, it might be annoying, for instance.
They support 11.8 millimeter drivers, which are quite nice, and I haven't listened to them yet, but I've heard good things about their sound quality overall."
"They utilize Bluetooth 5.4, which should mean that they have all of the Bluetooth features that you would want, plus a long range, meaning that if you get away from these or you get away from the unit that you're using, well, then they should be able to hold on for much longer."
"There is about 40 hours, meaning 10 hours per charge, an additional 30 hours in the actual case.
40 hours is fine, that it's, it gets less fine when you know that there is no active noise cancellation."
"I know that's not the point of open head, like in-ears in general or headphones in general, but it would have been nice if they could have found a way to enrich the feature set of them by having some alternative ready.
Right now they're just not there, and while you might be buying them based on the fact that they don't have it, I would argue that these are still expensive."
"They're cheaper than some other shock solutions, but they are still like $200, $250, depending on where you live.
And that's a lot, I would say.
There is Qi wireless charging in the case, which I think is great."
"And well, after like, I might, I'll bet you that if you buy these, you'll be happy with them, particularly if you're using them for running or like whatever kind of like really physically intense activity that you have as a hobby or that you need to do, and you like the fact that they are open, well, then these are here for you."
"There are alternatives, as I said, so bear those in mind, but it's cool that shocks are experimenting in this way.
So thank you so much for watching and see you on the next one."
