These are the best headphones. They make running outside so much safer because you can hear road noise but the sound quality is still amazing. And I can do full workouts in them because they are weightless and don’t move. I also use them to take work calls and they have worked flawlessly. My ears don’t hurt from wearing my usual work headset. I highly recommend getting these!

One critique. The charging cable. The magnetic thing may be a little cool, but who needs another different kind of charging connection. The move from USB-B to USB-C was fine because I have a USB-C in my office and in several places around the house. But I don't have spare two prong short cords.

The AfterShokz I own seem to sound a bit louder when turning on/off. I have to adjust the placement of the earpieces more than with the previous pair. When they are adjusted, the sound is good. However, I wear ballcaps and beanies in the cold weather, and those always cause the earpiece to move. I don't have this issue as much with my old pair.

I kept struggling to find comfortable and easy to use headphones for the longest time. I saw a few friends with Shokz and they recommended based on quality and fit. I also like that I can still hear what is around me and not be completely blocked out of noise. I am looking forward to wearing them during my long runs or gym sessions.

The setup was effortless and as simple as setting up airpods. At first, I was worried my shokz would be too big for my head, but they fit perfectly! It’s amazing how great the technology is - you can hear your music perfectly while also hearing the noises in your vicinity while out running near busier streets. I love this purchase!

This is my first time using these. Needed better Bluetooth system that would not keep me from hearing the equipment around me. They are working okay. Not a fan of the part that goes behind my head. The ear piece works fine. Sound is okay nothing fancy, could be better. Disappointed that the color choice is limited in the mini. They are rather expensive for the average quality of sound. .

Super comfortable. You can hear what’s happening around you, yet no one can hear what you’re listening to. Plus nothing sweaty going in your ears for an hour+ every day (much more sanitary). And keeps a charge much longer than my Beats Definitely worth buying

My OpenRun with the new small band fits great among all the other stuff on my head while biking - headband, helmet, glasses all nestle around or under or over the Shokz with no muss or fuss, it just all comes together easily when put on in the right order. I'm amazed at the comfort of the small band, even though I thought I had a big head. I did the measurements and came in just under the threshold so crossed my fingers and got the short band. Totally happy with that; believe the numbers on the tape when you measure. Of course, having my ears open lets me listen for traffic or birds or ice cream trucks while still being able to hear navigation instructions, music, podcasts, or fitness tracker prompts. The volume goes up high enough without getting "buzzy" to hear on all but the busiest fastest roads. My only ding on sound is that the microphone is not as good for office work as previous Shokz iterations - callers report to me that I sound more tinny and further away than I did on my previous OpenMove. The obvious answer to that is to get am OpenComm for work and just use the OpenRun when outside. The magnetic charging port is nifty and works great, and won't wear out like the insertable USB plugs do sometimes, but I'm a little worried about having just one little proprietary cord to keep track of and being stuck out in the world without it. With previous designs I could use a generic USB cord to charge up if needed. Anyone on the fence about these headsets just take the leap you will be so glad you did!

Needed to replace an aftershokz head set, I would use it for at least 12 hours a day, mainly for phone calls. I would get at least 2 days on a battery charge. After a year and a half the left side quit working(no sound). The button on the left side still worked. I get two days on the battery on the new headset. I had received the headset as a gift and like it so much I just decided to get another. Great product, well worth the money. I also have bad hearing, and I can hear better with with this headset than I can with hearing aids on phone calls.

I originally purchased the regular Aeropex and they were great except the back stuck out too far. So my husband inherited them when I received the mini openrun’s. They fit more comfortably because they fit my head better. The sound quality it great on both sets. Definitely recommend.
