Which lightweight bone conduction headphones have you tried with the best audio? (sh.itjust.works)

I love Bluetooth bone conduction earphones and I'm ready to buy something pricier, sturdier, waterproof, and hopefully sound far superior to everything I've tried.

I've had a few budget sets, and I love the convenience, portability, and weight of all of them, but the audio is obviously dog s***.

Are there any bone conduction headphones that are not dog s*** audially that any of you can personally attest to?

Thanks

Got it.

I have tried some $300 shokz at a mall once, and was not blown away by the audio, but that was really my only foray.

I think I have to do some deep research, read reviews and watch videos because bone conduction isn't popular enough to gather a wide anecdotal consensus.

Yeah generally you're just not going to be blown away by the sound of bone conduction headphones, their advantages are elsewhere as you've probably noticed, but they can definitely sound better than your average chinesium ones – just never going to be stellar in that regard.

I'm fine without stellar, just want a rung or two above.

Thanks!
