So, I tried wearing earplugs with my Shokz. Disappointingly, the sound became very, very muffled. I don’t think that it’s true bone conduction, because if it was, then earplugs shouldn’t have had a significant impact on the sound. They’re still nice, just… Not as cool.
Firefly is solidly decent. It’s not great, it’s not terrible. It had real potential, and then got cancelled after 12 (?) episodes. Babylon 5 was arguably a better show overall, but I can see why Firefly still has a solid fandom 20 years later.
Interesting test. I just tried mine with my high fidelity ear plugs and it actually made it clearer when my music is at a lower volume. of course these aren’t meant to block out all sounds though.
With regular earplugs, its a little muffled, but I’m honestly quite impressed by how good it still sounds.
Same, I got mine about 6 months ago and they are a huge game changer. Bought them originally to use while riding my escooter so I could still hear traffic, etc. I ride in about an hour each way to work. They’re incredible I can even still hear birds, but can hear my music totally clearly.
Bonus is that I can wear them at work all the time now and still hear when people are trying to get my attention, and I’m not constantly removing them and losing them like I would with my earbuds.
I also love the sound quality, which you’d expect would be awful, but it just sounds like there’s music playing in the room you’re in. Sometimes I forget that the music is just in my ears. Cannot recommend enough honestly.

For sound reproduction, I prefer my wired Shure SE-315 with sound-isolating ear tips. But Shokz ar much more comfortable for all-day wear.
A man of culture.
Glad to see Innovation getting so much love after being on SUSD. It’s really a great game.
I’ve also enjoyed exploring Mottainai after everything in the rules finally clicked.
Honestly, the bent-spears-on-minis is the only issue across the two games. (c:
I love my Shockz #ad
Pretty much the only headset I’ve been using on the go for the last 3-4 years

+1 on the air fryer.
+1 on Kaylee Frye
She lives up to the hype for sure.
