I had purchased half a dozen earbuds before being introduced to the bone conduction, but was never comfortable with things in my ears. Wearing Shokz is not even noticeable.There is no downside to bone conduction. My only regret is that I was not introduced to them sooner. Sound quality is plenty good for me.

I love my Shokz Mini! It is very comfortable to where I forget it’s even on me. Perfect for office as I am still able to have conversation when someone walks up & still get to listen to the music I want to hear. The device itself is light, easy to put on or take off. Bluetooth connection was very easy & has magnetic charging. For future models, would like to see at least 8 hours-10 hours of battery life, as long as a work day. Various colors on the mini and maybe a thinner receiver, so when you have to pick up a phone call or put a headset on for the teams meetings, I don’t have to take off the Shokz device.

Sadly a bit disappointed in these. I have an openrun and the bass isn’t good at all, the audio quality is rough when I try to use them for an actual call, and when trying to listen with lots of background noise- even top volume is hard to hear. They seem a bit flimsy as well. We shall see how it goes- but they are now my backup headphones for running.

I wish I would have found these sooner!! These headphones are amazing. I do not like buds in my ears or anything bulky. So when I saw these I was immediately intrigued. I have worn them running (they stay in place even at 8min/mile speeds) I wear them walking, cleaning, zoom calls. The sound quality is outstanding. I usually would just listen to music through my phone when I run on treadmill, but the sound quality is so much better I use my Shokz. This was the best purchase I have made for myself in awhile!

I love em so much I bought my wife a pair. Great tech! If I leave my phone inside the house the range stutters a bit and loud white noise covers the sound, but small price to pay for a stealth profile Bluetooth headset. Oh, and even my open runs will operate as a phone.

The Shokz Open Run were amazingly great. I easily forget that I have them on. I've always hesitated to run with ear pods because you don't hear anything else when with them on. Which is okay for treadmill running but out side I want to hear my feat on the ground, the birds, the dogs, the cars and the other runners I am with. You can hear all of these with Shokz and still hear the music. They do not bounce around like other devices. I hope they last through all the sweat and use I am giving them. The phone capability also works well. Other people tell me they cannot tell when I switch them on in the middle of a conversation. It takes a bit to get used to the button locations but that is the same with any device.

I like to listen to music when i cycle, but I hate having ear buds in around moving traffic on the roads. I thought I'd give these a try. Some reviews said that the sound wasn't that good, but my experience was that they have been a lot better than my ear buds. I've only worn them while cycling, but I'll bet the sound quality is as good if not better than my noise canceling headphones! They are comfortable to wear. I can hear my surroundings (someone coming up on my left or cars coming up behind me). I also love that the controls are on the earpiece and easy to reach. The only minor drawback is that with a helmet and my hair, it takes a little adjustment to get the into position, but thats not nearly as negative as the ear buds falling out when i ride. I love my Shokz!

Love these. This is 2nd set so I can keep one at work and one for home so they are never forgotten. Love I can still hear others talk and they are easy to pause for conversations. Also being able to drop around neck to talk to people without being rude is added bonus (hate talking to people in ear buds). Still need my noise cancelling buds for the plan trips but love these for everyday life.

Sound isn’t as full as ‘in the ear’ types, and it’s a little awkward to use with eyeglasses and lots of hair. Also, to pair with another device, it seems I have to turn them off and then on to get them to pair. And again, awkward if you’re wearing them.

Best running and workout headphones I’ve tried. They stay out and I barely notice they are there. Sound may not be world class but more than fine for outdoor activities. Battery seems to last a long time — used them for a week of running 1+ hours a day and battery still reported as “high.” Had some trouble with online warranty registration (site kept hanging up) and their CR team was great.
