Thanks again for all the info. Very impressed with the regular-sized, non-Pro Shokx I got last week. "They just disappear" may be the best part.
Like you, I measure 9.5" but will try the Mini, as I'd like to be able to lay on my back with them. While I'm at it, will see if I like the Pro bass response better for an extra $50. What's one more consecutive life sentence in the doghouse?
Funny about the wind noise. Normally don't notice any but definitely did on my first Shokx test ride with a headwind. Tried again without the Shokx, and lo and behold, the same wind noise had been there all along! The Shokx made it neither better nor worse — the act of testing just brought it to my attention. And now it's unnoticeable again.
So I accidentally left my Shokz turned on yesterday after my ride and realized it this morning. It did not utilize an enormous amount of battery due to the oversight....but I realize now....the Shokz don't turn themselves off after a specific period of time whether connected or not. They just stay 'on'.
No biggie....but worth noting.
