Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Build quality and waterproofing stand out as major strengths. Multiple commenters, including a former Suunto-sponsored athlete, praise the brand's durable construction and IP67 rating, noting it survives heavy sweating and even accidental submersion. This is contrasted favorably against Shokz, which some users say only reaches IP6 and has failed for them multiple times over a couple of years, prompting a switch to Suunto for reliability.

Sound quality pleases most but frustrates some in noisy conditions. Several users say the sound is great, clear, and better than Shokz or Shokz Titanium models they previously owned. However, at least one buyer returned the headphones within a week, saying volume and clarity suffered badly with ambient noise like passing cars, and that Bose Frame glasses performed better in that scenario. Wind noise while cycling is also flagged as an unresolved concern by multiple commenters.

Connectivity issues and missing features frustrate some buyers. Multiple users report difficulty pairing with Samsung phones, with one needing a firmware update via iPad before Android would connect, and another giving up entirely and switching back to Shokz. Commenters also note the lack of USB-C charging, no offline music storage, and no multi-point/dual-device Bluetooth support, all seen as missed opportunities versus competitors like Shokz OpenRun Pro.
