I've owned the Aeropex Aftershokz for about 3 years. Daily use Monday through Friday all day listening to audiobooks while working. The coating has started to deteriorate from sweat and use but the quality is still excellent. Will be buying the new pair only after current pair stop working.

I bought these because my original earbuds were giving me ear issues, plus I wanted something that would allow me to hear around me when running. Friends recommended them to me, and I've been very happy ever since. I'm used to headphones and ear buds, so the sound quality isn't as good as I'm used to, but it's a different type of headset so that would make sense.

Not only do these last forever once charged but they are lightweight and I instantly noticed how much safer it is to run and hear vehicles and bicycles when running both paths and roads but still enjoying my music. I also have always hated how my ears feel with earbuds if any sort, especially when I start sweating.

I love them for walks and use at the desk. Not so good for sitting back on a couch (bumps into the couch, so move to awkward front-of-neck). Not so good for phone calls - brother said I must use wired headset instead so he could hear me well. I do love them working around the house as I still hear the environmental sounds. i can pause the audio and don't have to take them off to converse.

I’m very happy with my shokz open run headphones because I can wear them comfortably with over-the-ear hearing aids plus eyeglasses. Every other wired and wireless ear pods I’ve tried have failed to stay in place with my hearing aids or have been uncomfortable. These work great since they sit in front of my ears, not in them. If I want less ambient noise, I turn off the hearing aids (not a trick available to the hearing unimpaired :grin:). If you wear hearing aids, you’ll love these! The sound isn’t quite as clean and crisp as in-ear buds, but it’s very acceptable. I use them mostly for phone, podcasts, news, etc, and they’re fine for that. I can’t really evaluate them for music.

I have complete bone conduction hearing loss in my right ear due to an injury and with these headphones I can hear perfectly in that ear. With regular headphones I can not hear the output in my right ear so it’s one sided. With Shokz I get sound in both ears. I love these so much!

My third pair of shokz. I ran over the first pair. Loved them and bought a seconed pair. They are great but won't last a full work day so I bought a pair of openrun to use as a back up after the battery died on my Air. Good set of headphones but they have a proprietary charger cord and that is a major pain having to keep that cord around all of the time.

I got the Shokz as recommended by a few fellow runners and after the passing of Eliza Fletcher. They have been amazing so far! Hold charge amazingly (ran for 5 hours and the battery was still “high”). I thought they might bounce a little but nope!! And the sound is amazing even with the outside world still audible. I highly recommend them to any woman and outside runner.

These are pretty awesome. I tried on a coworkers pair to test them which was helpful. She also had the smaller size band. I liked that fit better. Being able to listen to music and yet still hear everything around is just what i wanted. I hate cycling or running and not being able to hear the traffic around me. i do notice some vibration by the speakers when i have it turned up loud. but other than that i like them

Wish they didn't need a proprietary charger, but I'll survive. USB C like my old lesser model would be preferred, but I'm guessing the new style is to meet waterproof requirements? Would love to be able to turn them off with increases volume simultaneously. Despite the above, I love 'em.
