I currently have the OpenRun 8th Gen (when it was still called the Aeropex AfterShockz prior to the name rebranding thus I have the old logo). Overall, I am very happy with this product. Just recently I saw that a 9th Generation OpenRun PRO was just released to kickoff the 2022 New Year. In comparison, there's only very slight differences between the OpenRun (8th Gen) versus OpenRun PRO (9th gen), of which I will note below. So if you're currently considering on getting the PRO like I am, consider if the differences are worth it: • 8hr charge for the OpenRun versus a 10hr charge time for the OpenRun PRO. Okay yeah...I dig it :) Any extra usage time is always a plus for me especially on days when I'm too lazy to charge. • The OpenRun weighs 26g and the PRO weighs a little heavier at 29g but not a deal breaker for me. • Different placement in terms of the charging port (which is neither a good or bad thing, just an observation). • The OpenRun PRO has faster charge time of 1-hour versus the 1.5 hours for OpenRun 8th Gen (but honestly an additional 30 mins is not a big deal at all that would make me jump for joy and run out to get a PRO). I usually unconsciously leave my headphones on the charger for longer than it should anyways since I sometimes forget about it while running errands and doing other things around the house. So this additional charge feature I didn't care much about. • OpenRun is 'waterproof' (IP 67), while the OpenRun PRO is only 'water-resistant' (IP 55), which confuses me. Honestly my biggest beef here, obviously. IP rating weathers dust and moisture, so they are durable enough to withstand rainy runs, sweaty rides, or other gritty conditions. So like WHY would the new generation downgrade the IP rating??? This makes no absolute sense. Typically shouldn't new generations in anything be more advanced and not a less/downgraded version of it's former counterpart?! So I would really like to know why???? Definitely a major turn-off. • The PRO version has two bass enhancers, unlike it's former counterpart. I'm very excited to find that the new OpenRun Pro has incorporated the two bass enhancers. This is pretty much the ONLY reason why I would get the PRO because I've aways complained about how much I like my headphones except for the lack of bass and sound quality. Hoping the more premium sound quality of the bass enhancers is as advertised and worth the penny for music listeners like myself. So that pretty much sums up the differences in a nutshell between the OpenRun and the OpenRun PRO in terms of features. In comparison to everything else, all the other features are exactly the same between the OpenRun and the OpenRun PRO in terms of sensitivity, wireless range, microphone, bluetooth type, command controls, frequency response, compatibility, moisture detection, frequency, etc etc etc. I haven't bought the PRO yet given the pricetag so I'm going to wait until my birthday this Summer to get one, and again mainly for the bass enhancers and the extra 2-hours battery life, which for me are both very important to me so hoping when I do get it, that it won't be a disappointment. Another thing I want to mention in terms of its size is that I would like to see a "Mini" version of the PRO. Makes no sense to have a Mini for the standard OpenRun but not have it available for the OpenRun PRO. The "Mini" is very popular especially amongst us ladies so I'm hoping to see if there'll be one by Summer. Guess I'll see what happens when the time comes!

Sadly a bit disappointed in these. I have an openrun and the bass isn’t good at all, the audio quality is rough when I try to use them for an actual call, and when trying to listen with lots of background noise- even top volume is hard to hear. They seem a bit flimsy as well. We shall see how it goes- but they are now my backup headphones for running.

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!

At this point I pretty much wear my headphones from when I wake up till I go to bed. I have two pair in rotation and found the Mini format most comfortable. Duel paired with my pc and phone I easily transition from work calls to what ever entertainment I am listening to or watching. Also incredibly comfortable for when I work out.

I have owned aeropex for years and have 2 warranty claim during this time. Both of my transducer rattling claim were after one year of daily use and I absolutely love these headphones. I also bought the open-comm for work calls and they work flawlessly. The Shokz company has processed my claims without any issues both times. It is great to find a company that not only sells a great product but stand behind it. I will continue to buy these for years to come.

Fit well &very lightweight. After a week I no longer notice them on. I love being able to have music on while walking through the office or shop and being able to listen to everyone as I go. I can discuss projects and also be safe around equipment without fussing with earbuds or big headphones. Great when driving so I can hear a phone call while hearing traffic around me. This would be a 5star but when you turn the volume up a bit to just listen to music it vibrates and does not have the concert sound like a high quality bud or headphone. But that's ok because that's not why I bought these. We know own 2 pair & love them!

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.

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.

They are awesome for the first two weeks then I turned them off for a second and they started to heat up then they didn’t turn on and they started to heat up more and they wouldn’t stop heating up until it was hard to touch them so I ran them under cold water and the heating finally stopped then I tried to charge them but they didn’t charge, the light didn’t even turn on so I put in a warranty claim and they still haven’t responded.

They are very good, however a little disappointed. As my first set of shokz would hook up to both of my cell phones at the same time. So far the new set will only hook up to one set. Otherwise I really like the fit of the new headset compared to my old ones.
