Surprisingly good sound for not actually being in your ears. Need to turn the volume up when cycling above 20mph—which is not a big deal as I only hit those speeds going downhill. Very comfortable, even with glasses and a helmet on. Being able to hear everything around while listening to music—awesome!

I love my open ear headphones because my ears are tiny and putting standard headphones in my ears hurt. I do wish that the headphones did not have come down over the ear so much because I would like to listen to music at work but I'm not allowed to wear headphones. But other than that I will never go back to standard head phones again

The headset disconnects from the phone. This has happened four times in the last week while making a phone call. I have to reconnect and then remake the phone call. Also there are times where it is extremely hard to hear. I believe this is coming through the other person‘s phone, but it is annoying because I have to come off the headset and use the phone itself. My last pair did the same thing. I was hoping that this would have been resolved.

It's actually a great product! I don't have to worry about not listening to surroundings when biking. Also great that I can wear them everywhere and don't have to take them off to talk to people, etc. Maybe it's sometimes hard to figure out where exactly is the best place for my ear to listen best, like cm movements change the sound strength. Either way they stay in place real well, and it's only sometimes that I have to adjust.

While the devices is small and useful for my daily activities, some aspects are quite disturbing: 1) when wearing a hood, it moves on and off to cover my ears, making the volume louder and softer continuously. I had to pull down my jacket to ensure that the hoodie doesn't flap as much. 2) It is impossible to wear a beanie over shokz, unlike what was shown in their website. 3) there is this heavy vibration thing at high volume, which also happens when the devices gets connected and voicing commands.

This is the second set of Shokz that I have owned, depending on how you count. My first two lasted about six months each before the silicon became separated. Shokz replaced both sets under warranty in less than a week. After the second issue, Shokz upgraded my headphones. The open-ear listening allows to listen to music/podcasts, use the phone, etc, whilst going about my day without blocking out people and other sounds around me. It also enhances my safety when I'm outside. They are lightweight, and I wear them several hours every day without discomfort. When I lost my most recent pair of Shokz, I ordered a replacement (another upgrade) within two days, and had them in less than a week. The only drawback is that the OpenRun uses a proprietary magnetic charging cable. I think that this is to push it into the IP67 Waterproof category (though not intended for swimming). I contacted customer support to inquire about ordering additional cables, and within an hour they sent me the link. Phenomenal customer support for a great product. One of the best companies that I have dealt with. Their support really contributes to this great review.

The most comfortable headphones I've ever worn. I have sensitive ears. I forget sometimes and have them on all day. Great battery life, build quality is great, sound is great. Even for not being traditional in ear or over ear headphones, I don't feel like I'm sacrificing good sound. And can multi task and still listen to music at same time maintaining professionalism at work. I'm happy with my purchase.

My Shokz Open Run started out ok, but they beep constantly while in a Microsoft Teams meeting. They are completely unusable for Teams, and I got them for work. So now I need to figure out how to return. The beeping is just awful and they do not have an app to control it. The beeping makes sound, comfort and user friendly issues absolutely awful

The setup is excellent, it weighs almost nothing, but the comfort could be better. The loop is so far behind my head that it falls down, resting on my neck, which causes the buds to sit weird. It doesn’t move a round much at all. The largest negative is the shear lack of sound quality. It boasts higher sound quality but still sounds like a phone being amplified through a tin can.

Great sound quality from music as well as microphone on calls. The fit is ok, it doesn't "lay" as well as I would like behind my head but the mini is definitely better than the standard. For those of us in colder climates or who run with hats, the headphones work but it's going to feel odd.
