Finally headphones that don't make my ears hurt and I'm comfortable using when I'm out walking by myself. It's like having music playing in a room and still being able to hear what's going on around you and interact with others. I wish I had found Shokz sooner.

I have the open run mini. The sound is fine. My issue is that after wearing them for more than about 10 or 15 minutes, the tops of my ears start hurting. If I keep wearing them, they get very sore. I have not been able to adjust the position to change this. But I do like them and just deal with sore ears.

Training for a marathon, I never listened to music because traditional ear buds would a) block most noise around me and felt unsafe and b) fall out of my ears constantly. These shokz headphones solve for both those pain points and now I can enjoy tunes and podcasts on my long runs. It takes some getting used to being able to hear stuff around you with headphones on — it kind of sounds like someone is playing music right next to you. Haven’t had any issues with sound quality or battery life so far.

I purchased the mini hoping it would be closer to the back of my head because when i use them for workouts the bigger one that i currently have gets in the way when i am doing floor work. The mini wasn't that much smaller and still gets in the way but I will continue to use them on walks and runs. Great product otherwise...

I have the mini’s, they are the easiest to wear and provide the clearest sound. Being in the field that you have to wear an earpiece 10 to 12 hours a day these are the best, you forget you have them on. Are they allow you to hear things happening around you while still enjoying your music or a conversation. if there’s one thing I would suggest is that they create a smaller youth size.

They’re my favorite way to listen to whatever I am listening to. I’ve tried many MANY different kids of ear buds and head phones. Everything always had some kind of draw back that I didn’t like. These are the perfect blend between comfort, size, durability, battery life, and sound quality.

I used my shockz the very first time on a recent Marathon corse. It was the best listening experience I’ve ever had. I could hear all my surroundings, the cheers and other runners while enjoying my music to get me through my run. I never had to pop a bud out of my ear and say “what I didn’t hear you” and the battery life was solid for the 5+ hours it took me to finish my marathon. I’m never going back to earbuds. The volume was perfect. It’s like magic how these things work.

Not sure if it is due to the headphones but the more research that I have done the more and more I see people developing or sparking up their vertigo. If you start searching vertigo under bone conducting headphones this will help you decide... I really do love the headphones....

This is my 4th set of these bone-conduction headphones, I've been using them for probably 6 years. It's perfect for anything outdoors so I can hear everything around me. Battery is pretty good, although in the heat about 6 hours seems to be the limit.

Hands down The. Best. Headphones. Ever! I've always been a heavy sweat-er, and constantly having to wipe down my ear buds just so they'd stay in my ears. Then I found these about 4 years ago and they've made running more enjoyable! And finally hands free!
