I have seen many others

I have seen many others with these on in the past and thought they looked strange. Especially after buying individual over the ear bluetooth ear buds. I thought I was finally past connected ear buds. But as an avid trail runner, I tried 2 or 3 top rated sets and found out eventually they would all cut out at times with the swing of my arm back and forth with my Garmin watch (with music) would disconnect and then connect. That drove me crazy! After having so many problems with my last 3 earbuds I finally decided to try someone else's Shokz. First of all I loved how they sound and that they're not inside my ears ruining my ear drums. 2nd, I love that they are connected instead of individualear buds, making it harder for them to get lost. 3rd, I love where they sit on the back of the head where I often forget that they're.....on my head. 4th, I love the magnetic charging system. 5th, I love how long they will last on a single charge during my several runs, and 6th, I love that they are waterproof and dust proof. That's a lot of Love's!

Rocks it!

After leaving my first pair in an AirBnB, I realized I really missed the comfort and convenience of the OpenRun Mini. They can be worn all day without pain or worry of them falling off. Way better than my AirPod Pros which I do not even know why I still have them!

they work as advertised but one thing was not advertised

They are super comfortable and sound good. Phone calls area far easier than many other headsets. I think I might have been better off with the mini (size-wise) but not sure without trying that model. Would recommend for sure with a caveat. One gripe, now I have another unique power cable to keep track of. If you misplace this cable, you have a very ineffective paper-weight. That's why 4 stars. My lady has a different shokz model and they use a USB-C cable and I could not find a single thing about the power cable online (not even on shokz website) prior to purchase - it does seem that detail is a significant oversight in the product description (I eventually found it in the 96 page user manual online). I was hoping this pair would have charge via a usb-c cable. Alas no. If I misplace the power cable, that might be reason enough to find another product that uses usb-c. I understand they are meant for exercise and a magnetic charger makes more sense given potential sweat and moisture but why not make that fact fairly obvious prior to opening the package?

Unfortunately they are not the

Unfortunately they are not the right fit for my head. They make my ears painfully pop out and I bought the mini. The battery life is short and have to constantly put on the charger. Love the idea that they are bone conducting so you can hear the environment around you, though sometimes I would prefer in ear and sit them loose to hear outside but less of my breathing.

Great for running

Training for a marathon, I never listened to music because traditional ear buds would a) block most noise around me and felt unsafe and b) fall out of my ears constantly. These shokz headphones solve for both those pain points and now I can enjoy tunes and podcasts on my long runs. It takes some getting used to being able to hear stuff around you with headphones on — it kind of sounds like someone is playing music right next to you. Haven’t had any issues with sound quality or battery life so far.

So nice to not be oblivious

I absolutely love the open ear design. Not only is this perfect for trail running it is absolutely perfect in an office environment where I like the ability to listen to music or podcast without being completely oblivious to what is going on around me. It did take me a day or so to get used to the lead that runs behind your head but after wearing them for a little while I don’t even notice it anymore. I have recommended the open run to many of my friends already.

You can do better Shokz

Meh Sound's not the greatest, but that's not why you buy these. The FFW/RWD function doesn't work and these buttons are in an awkward location when wearing a bike helmet. I'm female, so I can't imagine being a man with bigger hands trying to manipulate those buttons. Maybe a series of taps would be a better option for function manipulation? The Mini is still a little big/ fights with my pony tail while wearing a helmet. I can't imagine how huge the regular CHEAPER size would've been. When are gear companies going to clue in that women enjoy outdoor activities too, and therefor should be provided with size/ weight appropriate options?! #equityoutside #repealthepinktax

A Great Product!

I use my open-run Shokz everyday. I find them to be a much better user-friendly sound system than putting plugs in my ears that can come out, easily be dropped and need daily cleaning. Eat wax, btw, is messy! No issues like this with Shokz . Like an addict might say, I’ll never go back to anything else but Shokz!

Great headphones for outdoor activities.

Great headphones for outdoor activities. I can still hear my surroundings as I ride my bike and while I am at home I don't need to keep taking out one earbud to talk with my wife or kids. Call quality is excellent as well as well as the blue tooth range.

I recently upgraded to the OpenRun. I’m so glad I did. They fit perfectly around my ears and are super light weight. I can easily connect them to my garmin without any issues. The battery life is solid as well and on my long runs of over 2.5 hrs I know they will last the entire time. There are a decent amount of options for colors and you won’t be disappointed. I’m a huge fan!
