I just received my ARC II Sports…..I wear ‘phones every day as I walk my dog 3.5 miles. I normally wear Apples’ AirPod Max. Love these headphones but was looking for something I could wear while Mt Biking. I have used Shokz while riding but because of their design, they sound flat with very little dynamics because the drivers are so far away from the ear canals. The ARC II’s seem to have their drivers designed to work as they have been built for the geometry of the Earbuds! Great separation and imaging while creating a very inviting sound signature! I like how they feel when wearing them as they do not have to give an electronic version of of ambient sounds you actually can hear what’s going on around you. These are my first impressions from my first hour of wear…I expect them to “break in” and smooth out a taste….While they really cannot compete with the Apples full size headphones, they do very well indeed considering their design…blown away by their clarity, both high freq. and low!!! Looking forward to my mt. bike ride tomorrow using these beauties!

I have used the original Arc’s since they were released. My commute is a 2 mile hike back and forth to my office and the Arc’s have been my companion through rain, snow, and heat and never failed. So when the ARC II SPORT’s were introduced I just got them as soon as I could. They are the old ARC’s but with so much more and for some reason a more solid feel. Especially the case is smaller, more robust and looks great. There are also new features and I love them all, especially the wind noise reduction feature, it works wonders when you are about and about.

I do not think there any other open air buds available with this feature set, audio quality and general usability. Only one problem, I forget I have them on and have been very close do something that would drown or damage the earbuds simply because I do not know I have them on. They are extremely comfortable to wear!
