They are real shokz open run headphones. I'm not trying to shit on people that use them they just seem to suck for me. The extra charge cable also pisses me off.

She has better hearing than I do but when listening to a podcast they are loud enough she can't hear normal talking volume. Like I can stand next to her and say something and if she doesn't see me she can't hear me. It's bad enough that she told me to buy her the cheap independent ear headphones I use as a gift in the future because she's annoyed by it.

I never get vertigo and have crazy good balance. I haven't fallen over in a decade and I ski and mountain bike a lot. I think the headphones vibrate some part of my ear that is part of how I balance.

Edit: thinking about it it's not vertigo I feel. It's that I can feel my skull vibrating and it is absolutely awful. I can feel it shaking behind my eyes. So maybe I'm weird and can feel something most people can't?
