Yes, they connect easily and automatically but every single pair I've had has had some issue. From literally falling apart to shocking me to taking them off the 2nd time and they just go limp on one side to having static instead of music or calls, to no one hearing me then they start buzzing. I have had to replace them several times and each time I was told "we don't understand why yours aren't working. These have GREAT reviews and we haven't had anyone else have these issues!" When they worked, they were amazing! But too much to deal with for ANY price!

I am really happy with these headphones! They are so light and secure and instantly connect every time to my phone. I can hear the music and surrounding sounds, which is not only better for safety but my ear canals don’t get hot! I meant to order the smaller size and accidentally got the bigger ones but they still stay in place just fine. If I had one wish it would be better sound quality, which I know I could get with OpenRun Pro but would give up the longer battery and waterproof.

I was fighting back not buying these until my airpods started to crap out during a run. My first run in these was amazing and then i ran a half marathon in them and haven't looked back since. I run in the city and in parks so it's great to listen to my music but also know my surroundings. Plus my ears don't hurt as much post run.

It’s very comfortable. It changes the way I received musics/ songs while still able to listen to my surroundings. It is useful for in office, hiking, or running outdoor. Its quality is good. I gave it a four out of five stars because I believe there is more innovation and perfection that can be uplift the product further.

This is my second pair of Shokz. I bought the Pro to use for work and conference calls and the OpenRun for running. Both pair fit great and really good sound. I wear ear canal hearing aids and these allow me wear a headset that doesn't cause interference. The multi-device pairing is great.

Wowsie! I had two other Shokz headsets, both several years old but they work just fine. Went on a trip, forgot them and found myself in a family where sound is discouraged so I sent off for a new OpenRun and got the ‘mini’ version this time. Put them on this morning and it is SIX hours later and they are working just fine. I love the mini and the battery life has really been extended since my original purchases. Thanks so much!

I was surprised at how clear they sound. They are as clear as any other headphones I've tried. I can wear them all day without the discomfort that you get from in ear headphones. I would highly recommend these. The battery lasts every bit of 8 hours or more and the recharging is fairly quick.

I have a pair of openrun shokz. Only had them Christmas time used them on my short runs fine but looking to do my longer runs anything over 2:30 or 3 hours the battery does not last. Everything about the fit, sound and how to use are great but the battery life is a different story. So much for an 8 hour battery life. This must be if you have the volume turned off and know one rings your mobile while you're out running.

I got these recently as part of a warranty of replacement for a different model that failed. These are a great option for use when I still need to hear my surroundings but I have no idea why you went to a proprietary charging cord. My old pair used a micro USB charging cord which is readily available just about anywhere. I already had them in my car, at my house, my cabin, etc. Now in order to charge them, I have to find the right one which is less than two feet long so it's hard to keep track of and is very awkward to use because it's so short. The design is awful.

I have the previous generation of these: originally purchased to be safe at work they've easily become a staple for my daily life. I prefer these over any headphone period and will absolutely not be going back to in ear 95% of circumstances. They make phone calls extremely convenient, battery life is excellent and you legit forget you're wearing them they're so comfortable. Mine survive serious rain, daily use, and dirt. I've let other people try them for 20 seconds and they've immediately gone online or purchased a pair soon after. It's all the benefits of ambient sound with all the privacy of headphones. And if you do have to claim the warranty, as I did after 1 year with my first set, they're good on their word. Took time to process, but I got my new set no trouble.
