Purchased these to replace an old set of Bose wireless earbuds that were losing battery life. I like that they are open ear and I can hear things going on around me without needing to modify settings or reach for my phone. Sounds quality is OK but that was my expectation going in. Definitely lacks clarity, especially in the lower frequencies. Since this is my first experience with bone conducted sound I have no basis for comparison as to how well they stack up to competitors. Battery life and connectivity have both been impressive. Never had an issue with functionality, or the headset dieing even on longer stints. Headset is comfortable, and light so I have never had issues with needing to adjust mid run. Overall happy with the product and would buy again if they continue to perform reliably as they have over the past month.

These were a Christmas gift for my wife, who has eczema. She had a generic set of bone conductor headphones for a Disney trip two years ago, which she loved, but eventually gave out. We knew Shokz were the best in this line of headphones, and have been EXTREMELY pleased with the easy of use, the comfort (especially since they don't impact her eczema like other earbuds/headphones do), and the sound clarity.

I really dislike having things in my ears. Over the ear muffs were uncomfortable and collected sweat. I friend let me try her Shokz, and I really liked them, so I ordered my own. The sound quality is good. The bluetooth distance capability is also good. I can leave my phone on the shelf in the middle of the gym (small gym, I know most people there) and roam the whole place without losing signal. My only complaint is that doing floor exercises on my back with my head on the floor requires regular adjustment of the band the goes around the back of my head. I haven't tried them for running yet. I would not use them for cycling outdoors, but it would be difficult anyway to fit my helmet around the band around the back of my head. Overall, I am pleased with them so far.

I love the quality of the sound, but they are very heavy and put pressure in front of my ears, which usually results in a headache if I wear them longer than an hour. The range is not great. If I'm on a phone call and walk into another room without taking the phone, I lose my connection. I had to take a picture of the instructions, because I could never remember how many times I had to click on the main button to do what I needed.

These are not sweatproof, as claimed. I have had two of these units fail at the one year mark, following moderate 2-3 day per week use, for running, cycling, rowing. Never submerged, never used in vicinity of saltwater. Both units have failed by failure of the on/off/+vol button. I both instances, on opening the device, there is severe internal corrosion of that button. The adjacent -vol button is not visibly affected. I've concluded that there must be a weak spot in the case that allows sweat to invade around that button. I am a relatively "heavy sweater", so my experience may be at one end of the range. Nonetheless, two units failed each at about the same time (1yr), and each by the same mechanism. These are not sweatproof, as the description claims. I would post a photo of the postmortem, but can't see an option for posting images. Prior to failure, they worked as advertised.

Purchased Aeropex (previous generation headset) in July 21. Worked flawlessly for over 5 months of daily use, then failed instantly & completely. Just began testing the AfterShokz warranty, will provide update (if permitted) based on warranty's results.

I had these headphones for less than 10 days. One day they wouldn't shut off and then the next day they wouldn't even turn on. I put in a request 5 days ago and still haven't heard anything back about getting my money back either. Wish I could rate a zero instead of a 1.

I currently have the OpenRun 8th Gen (when it was still called the Aeropex AfterShockz prior to the name rebranding thus I have the old logo). Overall, I am very happy with this product. Just recently I saw that a 9th Generation OpenRun PRO was just released to kickoff the 2022 New Year. In comparison, there's only very slight differences between the OpenRun (8th Gen) versus OpenRun PRO (9th gen), of which I will note below. So if you're currently considering on getting the PRO like I am, consider if the differences are worth it: • 8hr charge for the OpenRun versus a 10hr charge time for the OpenRun PRO. Okay yeah...I dig it :) Any extra usage time is always a plus for me especially on days when I'm too lazy to charge. • The OpenRun weighs 26g and the PRO weighs a little heavier at 29g but not a deal breaker for me. • Different placement in terms of the charging port (which is neither a good or bad thing, just an observation). • The OpenRun PRO has faster charge time of 1-hour versus the 1.5 hours for OpenRun 8th Gen (but honestly an additional 30 mins is not a big deal at all that would make me jump for joy and run out to get a PRO). I usually unconsciously leave my headphones on the charger for longer than it should anyways since I sometimes forget about it while running errands and doing other things around the house. So this additional charge feature I didn't care much about. • OpenRun is 'waterproof' (IP 67), while the OpenRun PRO is only 'water-resistant' (IP 55), which confuses me. Honestly my biggest beef here, obviously. IP rating weathers dust and moisture, so they are durable enough to withstand rainy runs, sweaty rides, or other gritty conditions. So like WHY would the new generation downgrade the IP rating??? This makes no absolute sense. Typically shouldn't new generations in anything be more advanced and not a less/downgraded version of it's former counterpart?! So I would really like to know why???? Definitely a major turn-off. • The PRO version has two bass enhancers, unlike it's former counterpart. I'm very excited to find that the new OpenRun Pro has incorporated the two bass enhancers. This is pretty much the ONLY reason why I would get the PRO because I've aways complained about how much I like my headphones except for the lack of bass and sound quality. Hoping the more premium sound quality of the bass enhancers is as advertised and worth the penny for music listeners like myself. So that pretty much sums up the differences in a nutshell between the OpenRun and the OpenRun PRO in terms of features. In comparison to everything else, all the other features are exactly the same between the OpenRun and the OpenRun PRO in terms of sensitivity, wireless range, microphone, bluetooth type, command controls, frequency response, compatibility, moisture detection, frequency, etc etc etc. I haven't bought the PRO yet given the pricetag so I'm going to wait until my birthday this Summer to get one, and again mainly for the bass enhancers and the extra 2-hours battery life, which for me are both very important to me so hoping when I do get it, that it won't be a disappointment. Another thing I want to mention in terms of its size is that I would like to see a "Mini" version of the PRO. Makes no sense to have a Mini for the standard OpenRun but not have it available for the OpenRun PRO. The "Mini" is very popular especially amongst us ladies so I'm hoping to see if there'll be one by Summer. Guess I'll see what happens when the time comes!

Best running and workout headphones I’ve tried. They stay out and I barely notice they are there. Sound may not be world class but more than fine for outdoor activities. Battery seems to last a long time — used them for a week of running 1+ hours a day and battery still reported as “high.” Had some trouble with online warranty registration (site kept hanging up) and their CR team was great.

This is my 5th pair… 1st - Daughter, 2nd & 3rd mine. 4th, ordered not knowing my 3rd was still under warranty. 5th was replaced by Aftershokz FREE, after my pet chewed it up. 4th I gave as a gift to my sister and finally… 6th was a gift for my brother in law. We all LOVE THEM, Allot!
