I think I'm like a lot of people when I say that I have been confused/skeptical about how or if these headphones work. Well after hearing enough positive comments (and making sure they have a decent return policy just in case) I gave them a try. I'm convinced now - they're amazing. To be clear, though: if you're looking for an immersive hi-def bass-line music experience, these are not for you. But that's not who these headphones are for anyway. If you want to just enjoy your workout, run, hike or whatever activity you're into while also catching some tunes or podcasts and still have confidence that you know what's going on around you, just get these. Try them. You'll be convinced too.

Battery life is fantastic and I know ads always put out there that their headphones are so light you can’t even feel them. But with these headphones I actually forget I’m wearing them if my music isn’t playing. As far as sound quality not the greatest in comparison to other on earth headphones but can’t complain since I can still hear what’s going on around me. I bought the mini pair of headphones as the others were way to big and left a gap around the back of my head. The mini ones have a much less of a gap but I wouldn’t say they are “the perfect fit”. Overall I give these headphones an 8 out of 10 for overall quality

These are perfect for any parent who’s trying to get some chores knocked while listing to anything and don’t want to compromise on the ability to listen out for the little ones. The weight of the headphones make it so you forget you’re wearing them. 100% recommend to anyone who doesn’t want to hinder the ability to hear what’s going on in the surrounding area.

Everything about these headphones is fantastic. They are comfortable, the sound quality is great for music or podcasts, the calls are crisp and microphones seem to work good as callers never complain about my voice. Also, running with these is a dream. They stay in place well and offer the sounds of your surroundings at the same time like magic

got these for Christmas after seeing them at a shoe store. Best gift I got. Sound quality is great. Battery outkast my phone never off my head and everyone that sees them ask what they are and wants to try. Will definitely recommend to everyone I know.

After a mile, you just forget they’re there and enjoy the music, all while staying in touch with your surroundings. The charge lasts longer than my endurance. The magnetic charger is super convenient. The different colors are fun and they are crazy easy to clean. If you’re looking for audiophile sound, these won’t meet the mark, but if you want music on your adventures all while being safe and aware of your surroundings, these are the best I’ve seen.

Great alternative to in-ear devices as you can everything around you as well. I have 2 minor issues with them in that the loop sticks out too far behind my head (size is correct per the Shokz fit guide) and if used for hands free phone calls the sound has a distinct hollow quality to it. Sound quality for podcast listening or for music is better than expected though.

I started with the Shokz OpenMove, and wore them for 5 years before wearing them out. Excellent starting point. Then Got the OpenRun. They took a couple of days to get used to, they feel different than the OpenMove. Once I made peace with the fact that they simply felt a little different, they became more comfortable. I wear them while running, while cleaning, and while making pasta in the kitchen. They have been great!

I have 3 pairs of Shokz and rotate using them on a daily basis. I am happy with the sound and ease of use. I wear a hearing aid in my left ear, so it’s nice to use a headphone that does not actually go in the ear. I typically use my Shokz for audio books, music and sometimes phone calls. I am also a fan of the magnetic charger now offered when purchasing them.

I love them, wear them all the time. My only complaint is that it does not work properly sometimes, hard to explain: at the beginning of listening to something it makes weird noises like just trying to connect; if it's a continuous music or pod, it's only at the beginning but if i listen to something like Duolingo learning a new language at almost every beginning part of listening is slow and makes these weird noises. I thought initially that it migth be the app but then realized it does that with others too. Nothing very bad but I got used to the older pair I had to be flawless and these are not quite there.
