I work at a bike shop and was looking for a pair of open ear headphones to stay in the loop but still listen to my music. Shokz OpenRun is perfect for this. The volume is capable of overcoming most noise, unless there is a lot of louf ambient noise, like a crowded restaurant or a compressor running. But this is the nature of open ear headphones. Battery is great and easily gets me through 7 to 8 hour days without pauses at a comfortable volume. Even goes further after work when I take a walk outside. You can hear everything around you, which is great for being aware. Bass is lost for the most part, but is there enough for music in addition to the world around you. Everything else is good. You shouldnt get these headphones to just listen to music. They are just to add a soundtrack to daily life. And for that, top notch! Buttons are intuitive, and being waterproof is great for confidence using them anywhere. One drawback - if you try to lie your head back on a pillow or headrest, the headband gets pushed forward and moves the headphones out of position.

I bought these because my original earbuds were giving me ear issues, plus I wanted something that would allow me to hear around me when running. Friends recommended them to me, and I've been very happy ever since. I'm used to headphones and ear buds, so the sound quality isn't as good as I'm used to, but it's a different type of headset so that would make sense.

Very disappointed in the noise canceling. My husband is a truck driver and I can hear truck more than him. Was wanting to try the set with the boom but afraid as to this is our 2 set already. First set was air from Love's Truck stop.Took back. These may work for me but not my husband and that is sad cuz it is his job. He needs them.

I have had a pair of the Aeropex (precursor to the openrun) since shortly after they were released several years ago and they are still going strong! After years and hundreds of miles the only issue I have noticed is a slight discoloration on the left ear piece. These headphones have been very stable for me from doing sprint workouts to a 50k whereas some other bluetooth heaphones can have an annoying bounce.

I have 3 pairs of Shokz and rotate using them on a daily basis. I am happy with the sound and ease of use. I wear a hearing aid in my left ear, so it’s nice to use a headphone that does not actually go in the ear. I typically use my Shokz for audio books, music and sometimes phone calls. I am also a fan of the magnetic charger now offered when purchasing them.

Sound is great with no vibration in front of the ear when the bass gets going. The rubber has a special coating making it feel soft and the wrap around is right where it feels most comfortable. Sound buttons and covered charging port are easy to find and use. Very happy with the upgrades.

The OpenRun minis are my second pair of open ear headphones from Shokz. My first pair were the AfterShokz model and I fell in love with the whole open ear concept! I have a pair of high end in-ear buds but after a half hour or so my ears hurt. The Shokz open ear headphones are very comfortable and best of all I don't have to pop one out to hear someone speaking to me. If you've never tried them I encourage you to do so. The sound quality is excellent. I also recommend buying the Shokz brand. A friend of mine tried mine for a day then bought another brand. He had them on for less than an hour and decided to return them and purchase the OpenRun minis as well.

I didn't even know that I wanted headphones until my husband got these for me to run in. I LOVE them! Not only do I wear them to run but I also wear them around the house while doing housework or talking on the phone. I wish I had gotten them sooner.

I always have a tough time finding running earbuds. I sweat heavy here in central Florida, this ruins most earbuds no matter how waterproof they claim to be also the sweating causes a lot of slippage. I am glad I took the advice of my running friends and got these. Great sound, no slippage and I forget I am wearing them. Great product. I have not yet figured out how to fold them up to fit in my running belt/vest

disappointing because I can't use these for my long runs. I got them about 6 months ago and take them right off the charger when I head out the door but 2 hours 15 mins is about the longest they have lasted before they die so I'm confused that it says 8 hour battery
