Review 1: ★★★★★

“After one year of use, the sound quality doesn’t change at all. Battery capacity might decreased but noticeable. It is great also for working out or walking because although I am using it hot sweaty day or rainy day, there was no problem at all. The only thing that does not look good is only the charging dock protector and the cable part where you snatch for hanging it (don’t know what it is called)”

Review 2: ★★★★☆

“I bought it to use it when running. The sound quality is as expected by JBL, and it does not move even if you are exercising or walking vigorously. I also like it because I can control the volume switching from the remote control. Unfortunately, when making a call, you have to speak from your smartphone's speaker, so I think it's good to be hands-free.”

Review 3: ★★★☆☆

“Because it will fit tightly to the ear, you can wear with confidence for walking. I think that the bass sound is weak, but it is gentle to the ears.

After about six months of use, the reflective reflective line of the cable part connecting the left and right earbuds has been cut off from the edge and peeled off.

Because it feels bad to ploy, I cut a little bit of the part that had peeled off, but it is likely to have peeled off little by little in the future.

I do not know at a quick look, such as when wearing in the ear, but how to peel off is also cheap and sorry. Others are generally satisfied with use, but I do not choose this model even if you have the opportunity to buy earphones next.”

Review 4: ★☆☆☆☆

“I bought it a couple of years ago and it was a very good product for walking, but when I tried to use it for the first time in a long time, it wouldn't pair and wouldn't work. I was able to connect it to my Walkman. I am very disappointed because I liked this product.”

Review 5: ★★★★☆

“I switched from JBL REFLECT MINI BT, so it's a comparison. I use it to listen to radio programs while walking for about three hours. By the way, I tried various BT earphones in the price range of about 3,000 yen to 7,000 yen and went to JBL REFLECT MINI.

1. The sound pressure has increased, and the voice of personality is easier to hear even if the volume setting is the same.

2. In the JBL REFLECT MINI series, the voice of personality (voice of conversation) is the easiest to hear. No sound is muffled and “voice” is clear. It may not be enough for those who are oriented to heavy bass such as rock, heavy metal.

3. While the sound pressure has increased, there is an equalizer-tinged, somewhat artificial sound spread. The bass also began to be stronger. I just want to hear the human voice clear, so I feel somewhat uncomfortable.

4. The ear pads (there are 3 types of sizes including the reserve) are snugly in the ear and will not come off during walking. This goodness is the same as before.”

Review 6: ★★★☆☆

“The purchase is not Amazon, but I think it will be helpful and I will review it.

First of all, I like it as well as bass. Charging good, sound skipping had to be using a microwave oven. If you list the problem, one is that the silicon parts of the ear are easier to remove from the last 3 months of use. If you use it for a year for walking, the part that is hooked in the ears is sometimes shifted even in the middle of using it becomes a lot.

The second is that the lid of the charging outlet is no longer closed. When charging, the lid is pushed to the plug and turned over, but it has a habit and it finally ceased to close. This is quite annoying, and the corners of the lid scratching the neck is quite disturbing. Because it was not so high shopping I think about whether to replace it with something different about now, but in a year this... and I had to 3stars in thought. If there was an improvement in the charger lid, it could have been a repeat.”

Review 7: ★★★★☆

“I think if the sound is a person who likes the sound with grains while walking. The delay is also fine. The sound game, etc., is delayed to the fluorite.

Also earpiece comes with 3 sizes but wearing it because it has entered the hand round silicone things (XS size) that can not be worn and painful in the s size of the included I'm using it. The snatching part is not painful in the included s size. I would be glad if it would be a reference to the smaller ear.”

Review 8: ★★★☆☆

“I used JBL Tune 205BT until now, but the sound was good, so I tried buying things up a notch in the same JBL. But! When I listen to it for walking, the sound is very cheesy. It sounds incredibly terrible that most of this review says that the sound quality is certain. Tune 205BT is much better. Especially cheap to hear the sound of American rock guitar and drums. I think it is a defective product.”

Review 9: ★★★★★

“Well it's a matter of taste... Previously fully independent wireless earphones (JBL! of course) However, the left side was cut well and frustrated many things. So I made the neck wire type wireless. After all the sound is good! Looks good for walking! Waterproof function is also good! Control is good with a wire that does not get in the way! (It's an individual's impression)”

Review 10: ★☆☆☆☆

“The noise of the sandstorm from the right ear for 2 weeks after purchasing for walking. Estimated to be a leakage without stopping even if the power is turned off. Then the battery drained unusually fast, the Buddha.

It is good to replace on Amazon, but the replacement is powered on from the left ear from the sandstorm noise from that time. Is there a problem in the lot? Amazon would like you to disclose the most recent return rate and why.”

Even though these Bluetooth earphones look perfect and have been well received by many users, there are still have some issues with them that make users feel disappointed. For example: the battery consumes quickly, the usage time is not enough, the quality is poor, etc. All these factors will lead to these Bluetooth earphones not being recommended to be purchased by users for walking.

Therefore, we can look for a earphone for walking that we expect with better performance and better sound quality in the headphone market, and the Wissonly Hi Runner is an attractive option!

Why do I recommend these headphones for walking?

I noticed Wissonly bone conduction headphones when they were first crowdfunded online. And later, I saw that some otologists were recommending them on online forums, so I bought them for walking in daily life. This Hi Runner is their flagship product whose overall functionality is also the most perfect.

The headphone use the latest research from the Wissonly lab. It increases the vibrating area of the vibrator by 35% and optimizes the direction of sound transmission to make the sound more concentrated, resulting in a wider range and more spatial of the music.

The brand claims that its sound quality is HI-FI level, and I actually tested it myself. I thought that the sound quality was very close to HI-FI level, but it did not reach this level. Of course, the current sound quality is satisfactory enough for me when I use them for walking.

Wissonly Hi Runner bone conduction headphones are also equipped with a new Bluetooth 5.0 chip that has stronger anti-interference ability, that can easily cope with various complex outdoor scenes, and ensures the good mood during walking is not disturbed by disconnection.

Meanwhile, the stable connection also brings low latency performance, and there is no problem in listening to songs, following dramas, and playing games. What's more, they have 32G of built-in memory that can store 5,000 songs. This helps you to enjoy music when you are walking outdoors without your smartphone.

In terms of comfort, the Wissonly Hi Runner performs well, it is very light, only less than 30 grams, and it does not feel any weight to wear while walking. The body is made of titanium alloy which makes it have a good fit, so you don't need to worry about their falling off during walking in the park.

Additionally, the waterproof of the Wissonly Hi Runner deserves special mention, and it is IPX8 level. It means that you can carry it underwater for up to 20 meters and still use it normally, which is crazy!
