BC01 BC Headphones - Light Bar/32GB/8Hrs

UNBOXING:The unboxing experience feels professional, and you can tell pretty quickly by the heavy-grade cardboard used that Rythflo understands didn't cheap out at this price point. The case is a welcome inclusion as well and has been great for throwing into a backpack! It's made of a more firm mold, so I'd feel safe even if I dropped the case with the headphones inside.INITIAL IMPRESSIONS:At first, I was worried that the headphones might not fit very well on my larger head. However, after using them for a few weeks, I can confidently say that the fit was fine and comfortable. I never felt like they were going to fall off in any of the situations I used them in. This seems to be one of the rare cases where "one size fits all" is actually true! I was slightly disappointed by the minor English flubs present in the manual, but given that it doesn't impact the product itself and was still readable I can live with it.LISTENING EXPERIENCE:I've been comparing these headphones against both a regular set of TWS earbuds, and a more pro-grade over-ear set using a DAC. This has been said again and again, but audio quality is simply not a strong point of bone conduction technology. I noticed right away that songs tend to sound more washed out, and the bass is quite weak. That said, the vocals and treble come in surprisingly clearly for a bone conduction set. I've tested these with podcasts, and that seems to really be their strongest point. Other than those unavoidable issues, I've been pretty pleased with the sound quality once my expectations were tempered. These can get quite loud, though of course at very high volumes you're going to run into sound leakage (where other people around you can start to hear your music). These aren't magic - the sound waves going into your skull will always bounce off some amount just due to physics. However, I found that around 40% volume was loud enough that I could enjoy my music while still being quiet enough to not be a bother to somebody next to me. Overall, I'm pleased with the good-enough sound quality given the very long battery life!OFFLINE LISTENING:Surprisingly, the feature that I most enjoyed is one that isn't advertised that much! These headphones come with the ability to store up to 32GB of audio locally, no Bluetooth connection required. In today's world, it's almost impossible to leave your phones at home. But after I figured out how to get some of my favorite MP3s and FLACs onto the headphones over USB, all I had to do was press the middle button three times and I was able to listen to music without my phone! This has been a huge relief for whenever I can't or simply don't want to use my phone for music, like while on a run. The audio quality seemed to be the same or even slightly better than the Bluetooth stream. I only wish there were more music management options like shuffling on device (to its credit, it does keep track of your location on the master playlist through power cycles), but given that this is a bonus feature, I can't knock on it too much!CHARGING/WATER RESISTANCEI really appreciate the choice to go with a magnetic charger over something like MicroUSB. In my experience with long-use earbud-headphone hybrids, a magnetic charger is always better in terms of durability, ease of use, and water resistance. Speaking of water resistance, these headphones performed as expected in the two times I've tried running with them in the rain. After drying them off, I had no issues with charging whatsoever. I also took them swimming briefly once, and while I didn't use them for a long period of time, I was happy to see that they hadn't suffered any issues.EARPLUGSThe earplugs are somewhat of a mixed bag. They are made out of a very pliable type of plastic so they fit into my ears very well, but I wished that they had done more to cancel out noise. When paired with the earbuds, I found that I was almost unable to hear my surroundings but I could still hear a little bit. For some this might be seen as a plus, so it depends on your needs! On the plus side, they are ridiculously easy to clean after I let junk accumulate in my ear before a run.LED LIGHT BARThe LED light bar was a little bit of a letdown. While I was excited to test it at night for visibility while running, the light bar is almost a distraction because I haven't found a way to allow it to stay on a single color. Instead, the light bar cycles through blue, red, green, dark blue, yellow, and purple with each color only staying on for ~0.5 seconds. This is something I suspect could be fixed quite easily, so please read the latest reviews to see if this has changed.TL;DR-Positives:• Durable and premium feel• Case included• Comfortable fit• Wide volume range, solid mids, and clear treble• 32GB of local music storage that actually works!• Magnetic chargerNegatives:• The earplugs: not the best material.• The LED light bar: no way to stop the colors from cycling.• Some grammar errors were present in the manual.• ...

I’m an avid user of earbuds and headphones, I have always sought out products that would allow me to have the best audio experience, durability, comfort, and style all while providing me both hearing safety and the sensation of audio vibration. I had a family member tell me about bone conduction headsets so I absolutely had to find a pair that was not only affordable but also held up all of my standards for headsets in general. Rythflo’s Bone conduction headset is absolutely incredible, I can turn my music up all the way without disturbing anyone around me, still be able to hear my surroundings, and overall protect my hearing! There is no competition when it comes to comparing regular earbuds and headphones with Rythflo; Rythflo’s headset is incredibly comfortable and lightweight compared to invasive in ear earbuds or bulky headsets, not to mention the vibrations I typically always chase through bass and treble always come through the headset even if my volume is low and music just sounds so much smoother and louder through the bone conduction technology. Lastly the headset comes with a protective case, a few accessories, and a super easy to understand instruction manual; The experience of listening becomes even more immersive when using the earplugs and the magnetic charger allows the headset to be resistant to moisture/water damage (great for if you accidentally drop it in a sink or if you just like to work out and sweat a fair amount).I would absolutely recommend this to everyone! For athletic use to general use, protect your hearing and experience incredible audio quality with Rythflo!

Absolutely the best bone conducting headphones I’ve ever owned. I have had 3 others and this pair by far is the best. The sound is great, the buttons are the perfect size and easy to use. So far the battery life is exactly what was stated in the description. Awesome product and case

I shall provide a short review. Hope it does helpConnectivity - Great, and it supports multipoint. I need it to link to both of my phones. I can say this is the only bone conduction that i found out with multipoint function.Battery life - The battery life is good, can last 8 hours as claimed. With the LED light on, it shall only last for 2 to 3 hours approximately.Suitability for swimming - Been using it for my daily 1 hour morning swimming. I can do freestyle, breaststroke, butterfly and it is not going to drop off. However i felt a bit loose with backstroke.Sound - The mp3 mode sound was good & loud enough. But in Bluetooth mode, it is going to disappoint. It was soft even at maximum, either hearing music or hearing phone calls. The other party can hear clearly though. Have to improve the Bluetooth mode volume level.

Bought these for swimming and it's a game changer! Bluetooth works great, but being able to load MP3 files onto the flash memory and play music offline of Bluetooth really sets these headphones apart from the other ones available on Amazon. I swim for 30 minutes/session and had no issues with the water, no issues with it interfering with my goggles. Headphones never skipped playing MP3s offline. The bass & audio quality isn't the same as my true over-the-ear headphones but I expected that, and more than good enough. Bone conduction allows you to listen to music while still listening to the environment. Highly recommended!, especially for swimmers.
