When I wear other devices, it sounds like my fingers are stuck in my ears. I can't think like that! My thoughts get weird and I hate not hearing things right. Kinda like when I flew a plane and my ears stopped up for 2 weeks! I like these, although after a long-time wear you do feel a little pressure where they rested on both sides. But it's far better than dealing with the other. I was amazed how well the sound quality was. It was better than I thought it would be. Are they are a good investment? YES!!

A must product for a blind user. There are minor differences from the previously owned After Shokz Titanium model and the OpenRun Mini. The OpenRun Mini is lighter, smaller, and has softer outer material, which is a big plus. The battery life is slightly less, but acceptable. Some Control Features are not in the same positions as the Titanium Mini, this was only a minor learning curve. All-in-All a better product.

I wear these practically all day at work (Real Estate Videographer). They let me stay in the zone with music while interacting with Agents, Sellers, and various software. People don’t seem to mind that I have them on because my ears are open and visible.

I like the open ear thing. I am aware of sounds around me (birds, passing vehicles, etc) but can still get immersed in music or podcasts. The sound is very good, though I expected more bass. I’m still getting used to experiencing the Shokz vibration style bass. They are so comfortable that I’ve almost forgotten I have them on. Also very secure and unobtrusive. The minis fit the best for me.

I bought these so I could hear ambient noise around me but they have surprised me with how comfortable they are to wear. The sound is better on my in-ear pods but this is still better than I expected for bone conduction. I would recommend these to anybody looking at them.

I love the weight and the sound quality. Still need to test the battery life on a solo long run. I was very disappointed when I realized it has a proprietary charger. The technology seems cool (magnets) but yet another unique charger to keep track of and lose was a disappointment for me.

Don’t hesitate..if you’re looking for bone conduction ear phones, you can’t beat these. They are lightweight, have good sound, and stay charged a long time. My Aeropex model was stolen, l couldn’t find a replacement, so l went with the OpenRun in blue. I wear them in the gym, walking & biking.

This is my 2nd generation of these, I had the Aeropex from about 4 years ago. These are lighter, the sound is really WAY better (getting stereo effects nicely). However, the volume seems to be lower. The buttons are still a little difficult to find, especially the volume down (so I rated them only "good" for this below). The buttons are even harder to find if I am wearing light gloves. But, I don't usually need to change volume unless I'm doing a city street run, and there is lots of traffic (turn them up) or light traffic (turn them down). I got the minis which come in only two colors. Why? I would have really loved to have the minis in red, but had to settle for blue. These are a lot more comfortable than the previous versions, maybe because they are lighter. The magnetic charger is nice, when I'm sleepy, I don't have to hunt to figure out how to connect the charging cable; close is good enough, and it snaps right to! Charges fast and battery life is good for those long runs. Not sure it will make the ultra distance, but no problems with slow marathons.

This is my second pair of Shokz headphones. I was happy with the first pair that I bought a few years ago, and I still use them, but I wanted a second pair. These updated Shokz seem to have a few improvements - they connect to my phone faster, and the sound quality is a little better. Overall, very satisfied. And as a bonus, they did not have an offensive odor.

These are great. My only complaint is the sound it makes when you adjust the volume and such is terribly loud and there is no way to adjust that. Definitely hurts my ears. I have to use my phone so it doesn't make that noise which means the buttons on the headphones are basically useless too me.
