The mini fits so much better when you are lying down and when you have your head back against a head rest, I bought my original set in Hawaii at a running store. It has served me very well and so my wife bought one and she liked them so well, that she ordered another set just to have on hand. We both listen to audio books as well as music on our 6 to 8 mile walks on a daily basis. They sure help pass the time.

They are comfortable in the short term, but I noticed after wearing them quite a while the back of one of my ears seemed irritated. Would be great if they offered some pads. The sound is great and I had no problems picking up the signal. It does have a charging connection that none of my other devices have which is kind of a bummer because it’s another cord to keep track of.

Definitely Maybe! Remember that movie? Ryan Reynolds puts fictional ear buds in his beautiful ears and walks to his daughter’s school. But wait, yikes, he almost gets hit by a bus. He turns around and mouths “Thank you,” to the guy who saved him. Both of them cannot hear anything except the music channeling through their plugged up ears. Well, those earbuds are no longer fiction, and getting hit by a bus can definitely happen anytime there’s one around. BUT, these Shokz bone-conduction ear phones are my dream come true. Open ears. No uncomfortable pressure points. No removing one when I need to hear someone talking to me. As far as sound quality it’s great unless it’s a really basey song. Also, if you’re in an extremely noisy situation and have to turn them WAY up they will vibrate against your head. (Like when you’re using a power sprayer to wash a bus;) However, if you’ve ever wished you could have your soundtrack playing while you go about your day looking as cool as Ryan Reynolds, this is the way!

Bought a pair of these for my husband because the single ear earbud he had been using for years was starting to fall apart, and he wanted headphones that would allow him to maintain situational awareness while running outdoors. He was born deaf and after many ear surgeries, he is left hard of hearing with ears that are often too small to support most headphones comfortably. I'm happy to report that these fit perfectly, and he hardly notices he is wearing them. The sound quality is great, and he actually doesn't have to max out the volume in order to listen with them like he does other headphones! He was still able to have a conversation with me as well, so he could still hear everything around him. I'll probably be getting a pair for myself to wear on my own runs at this rate. Great headphones!

This is my second pair of Open Run headphones, the first pair lasted about 5 years before finally giving out after hard, almost daily use. I have loved them for the ability to be able to hear surrounding sounds while riding, hiking, or even while in the office and don't hesitate to recommend them to everyone that is active in areas that require the ability to hear outside sounds. Bass is a bit lacking, but they are excellent for listening to podcasts or talk radio.

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.

I love them and it is rare that I dont have a pair on.. I also like to give them as gifts especially for safety sake. Being able to be aware of your surroundings is great. They are comfortable to the point I sleep with them for an hour.. I wish they made one for getting to sleep with a low profile and the neck band was more pliable.

This is my second pair and I've purchased two for my wife. They really do work excellently. If you are working out and sweat, get the more water resistant ones. I have been drenched in sweat and not had any issues. The open eat design is comfortable and allows me to hear what is going on around me. The sound is great and you almost forget they are on. I use an Android phone and have never had any issues. Great quality and light weight. I recommend this product.

Got these for a Christmas present and could not be happier. I initially ordered the wrong ones (my Bad) When I contacted Shokz and explained my problem they could not have been more helpful. when I got the correct unit I was blown away by their sound and comfort. I love the way the phones tell me battery level when I turn them on, very helpful.

These bone conduction headphones are great. I have the open run mini. They are more comfortable than the open run regular when sitting in a high back chair or a recliner because they don’t stick out behind your head. These are great for running or biking as you can still hear the traffic, and they stay in place.
