Great way to listen to podcasts or music while walking the dog, knowing that my ears are still open to hear traffic or other people coming up behind me. Not ideal on busy roads or on trash pickup day as obviously loud environmental noise isn't blocked at all. However I wanted these bc I needed to be more aware of my surroundings, and these are perfect for that.

I love the convenience of my OpenRuns. I work as a handyman/carpenter/woodworker and I appreciate that I can listen to music, hear what’s going on around me, and not have to remove them to put in hearing protection. I’ve tried other bluetooth earbuds but none of them stay in my ears, even with over-the-ear loops. Shokz solve that problem beautifully. The sound won’t win any audiophile awards but that’s not why I got them. For me it’s a winner for ease of use and the sound is good enough for me. Battery life is as advertised or better. Happy with my purchase. Wish they came with a hard case, though.

I really like these headphones, however when I wore them for my first run, I could barely hear my music. I was not in a loud environment at all and the music was as loud as it could be, but I could barely make out what song was playing. wish they were louder :(

Purchased for listening to podcasts and books around the house and for workouts at gym while on travel. I was concerned that these might be uncomfortable (squeeze my head) or not loud enough to overcome equipment noise at gym. These were comfortable enough for my 2-hour workout and long listens AND I could both hear my family when they wanted my attention and hear my music over the gym noise. I am VERY happy with these.

I enjoyed the openRun battery life, sound, and how well they stayed put, but I think they were possibly too big. They hung off my ears and it hurt after a little while. I had to return them. Shokz was excellent about allowing the return, refunding, and sending a return label. I think I will try a different style

This is my second set. The control switch on my first pair went bad after a year. The sound quality is excellent, battery life is excellent. I was dismayed by the excessive packaging, I don’t see a need for an extra shipping box and filler. The retail package is stupid in its excesses. It should provide more than adequate protection in the hands of the USPS. I bought direct rather than giving Bezos your money. It was a long lag in shipping, and no savings on my side.

I owned a Shokz device and loved it, so when an older friend kept forgetting her phone in another room, I thought it would be a perfect gift. She still needs some help when it’s time to charge it, and the tiny on/off buttons are pretty tiny, but she’ll get it. The Shokz goes on when she gets up and she can always answer a call.

It’s ok. Seems more of a gimmick with directional facing speakers near your ears, so to call it bone conducting is funny to me. It is lightweight and does not move. Only thing is after a while i have to take it off due to discomfort of something pressing in front of your ears. Sound is pretty good. For the price I wish it is just made waterproof like competitors. I tried one of theirs and for the same price it comes with more features.

I have been very pleased with the sound quality, the microphone, the battery life and range of my Open Run. I find the band - in the back of my head has interference from high back chairs and some hats. But I can usually work around those. Otherwise I forget I have them on.

I would not have bought these had I known these Shokz headphones are not compatible with tablets (ipads, etc). Using these while watching/listening to things on my tablet was the primary reason I bought these Shokz. I have used them while running and they have a nice sound and I like the way I can hear other noise while listening to music while running. I would also say I need a magnifying glass to see the "+" and "-" to turn them on. I don't find them easy to use.
