I live in a (not so safe) city and love running with music but I need to hear my surroundings. I was skeptical at first but within the first few miles I fell in love with my Shokz! I can now be aware of my surroundings and stay safe while still jamming out. They stay put on my ears and are comfortable. Set up couldn’t be easier. Total fan!

Like I said they are great headphones, but have a design flaw. Mine broke on the rightside and now just hangs there. the metal band is not one complete piece that goes over the ear. I purchased a pair in November 2021 and they broke recently in august on a run. Poor warantee support, fill the website online out on august 10 and again on august 20th. I have yet to hear anything but the automatic reply from submitting the form.

I bought these after borrowing my partner's Aeropex for over a year. I was surprised to see that Aftershokz was now just Shokz, the aeropex are now called "openrun". I assumed it was just a name change and ordered my pair, excited to have my own. I was so disappointed when I first used these headphones- although they look almost exactly the same, you can tell they changed something about them. We did a blind sound test with the Openrun and previous Aeropex and both my partner and I could tell which ones were the Openrun. The sound quality is a little worse, not super noticeable but once I realized they sound more muffled I can't unhear it. The main annoyance is when the volume is turned up high (not all the way, anything over around 75%), the headphones vibrate a little bit. Specifically the part distributing the sound right outside your ear, so it's just a constant tickle that can be so annoying. I love some things about the headphones, they allow me to listen to music/podcasts and hear my surroundings, which has been helpful in all sorts of situations. This version also charges a lot faster than the prior, but they also seem to run through battery faster. I used to charge the Aeropex maybe once/week with regular use, but I have to charge the Openrun every 1-2 days. It's not a huge deal since they charge so quickly, but something to keep in mind depending on your use. Ultimately I don't think I'd repurchase. It feels like the company changed the quality while hiding behind a "new and improved" battery, which feels gross and exploitive. They're pretty expensive for the issues that come with it. Really disappointed in these changes :(

The open run pro was a considerable improvement over the titanium. It is considerably more comfortable and the sound quality is much better. I use it to listen to talking books provided by the library of congress for people with visual disabilities. I recently had the opportunity to do a warranty replacement of my titanium headset. The customer service people were wonderful and I have received the replacement and will use it as a back up to the open run pro. I find the open run to be considerably better than the replacement.

I enjoyed the openRun battery life, sound, and how well they stayed put, but I think they were possibly too big. They hung off my ears and it hurt after a little while. I had to return them. Shokz was excellent about allowing the return, refunding, and sending a return label. I think I will try a different style

These work great but they contain BPA . There’s a warning on the box that they contain bpa. Water bottles and most plastics manufacturers these days go out of their way to tell you that their product does not contain BPA. I don’t like the fact that something containing BPA is touching my skin especially since I’ll be sweating and hot.

I had a cheaper brand that I liked but it broke so I wanted to upgrade to a Shokz. Just to see if it was worth the extra money. With out a doubt the Shokz blows the other one away in all categories. The sound is like night and day with much better volume. Well worth the extra money.

I have a bone disease that affects my hearing. I have not been able to hear well for years, but when i put on these headphones, i can actually hear all of the words correctly in the music and the sound is amazing! I highly recommend these headphones! You definitely will not be disappointed!

The headphones work great, but could be a little larger on the loop over the ear for those with large heads. Excellent in every other way. The headphones have better sound reproduction than my Apple AirPods, almost like spatial audio, but not as loud as the AirPods.

I already had two pairs of the regular-sized Aftershokz and think they're great. I tried the mini and love them. They fit much better with my smaller head, ( I do hope they decide to get more color options in the mini-style). I highly recommend people to own a pair.
