I had the first version of these (Aftershokz) and I loved them. I bought them several years ago. I wore them ALL THE TIME, for work for play, I wore them out they lasted a very long time. Now with the mini's they fit my head better, the upgrades from the first pair make a big difference. Calls are clear, music is clear, sound quality is fantastic! I will not utilize another brand, I am a lifer!

for that price i would have expected a better case, rater than that Flumsy beg. and even more annoying is that they give you only one cable, when in the last model they used to give two. if it was a regular type C it would be ok, but its a special one.

We have both types. My wife has unusual earing loss. Instead of high frequency loss, hers is low frequency loss. The OpenRun Pro works better for her. I have some high frequency loss and the OpenRun works best for me. The Pro will give you a tickle in front of the ears if you have a LOT of bass and the volume high. It's not unpleasant but it is distracting. The OpenRun will also but much less so. We now have three: 2 OpenRun and 1 OpenRun Pro. (We bought four but the new puppy chewed one and it is quite dead. Interestingly my wife also has significant hearing loss in the left ear and in most headphones and earphones she still can't hear well in that ear. When she put on the Shokz bone conduction headset in a sports store kiosk, she was amazed she could hear equally well in BOTH ears. That sold us right there. I can't recommend them highly enough! BTW, if you want booming bass use plug earphones or full cover headset... and be ready for significant hearing loss by the time you are forty. I used to always have high-end stereos but it's all wasted on me now. I'm over 60 now and my most frequent response to a question is, "What?". Save your hearing as long as you can. Bad hearing affects everything,everyday.

Sound isn’t as full as ‘in the ear’ types, and it’s a little awkward to use with eyeglasses and lots of hair. Also, to pair with another device, it seems I have to turn them off and then on to get them to pair. And again, awkward if you’re wearing them.

Got these for a Christmas present and could not be happier. I initially ordered the wrong ones (my Bad) When I contacted Shokz and explained my problem they could not have been more helpful. when I got the correct unit I was blown away by their sound and comfort. I love the way the phones tell me battery level when I turn them on, very helpful.

Awesome headphones, I really like being able to hear my surroundings while listening. I still have the “loud music” feeling, which overpowers outside noise, but am still aware if someone is trying to talk to me or if a car is going by. I wish the neck band was smaller. I have the mini, and it’s still too big.

The OpenRun minis are my second pair of open ear headphones from Shokz. My first pair were the AfterShokz model and I fell in love with the whole open ear concept! I have a pair of high end in-ear buds but after a half hour or so my ears hurt. The Shokz open ear headphones are very comfortable and best of all I don't have to pop one out to hear someone speaking to me. If you've never tried them I encourage you to do so. The sound quality is excellent. I also recommend buying the Shokz brand. A friend of mine tried mine for a day then bought another brand. He had them on for less than an hour and decided to return them and purchase the OpenRun minis as well.

I have had several pairs over the years and have converted a fellow gym rat. I wear them nonstop for exercise and other activities. Since they aren’t in the ear, they prevent “swimmers ear” which can be caused from hours of wearing earbuds while sweating. I love to use them for phone calls as well since they allow me to hear without broadcasting my calls. On speaker. I can speak on a low tone so as not to be rude to others and still be heard clearly by a caller. However, my openrun minis stopped charging about 6 months in. I sent an email explaining the problem. Didn’t get a response but a week later got a brand new replacement pair. Very satisfied with the service as well as the product

Easy to use and pair up with devices. I am truly impressed about how clear the music is or when doing zoom meetings, hearing the speakers. Also when using it for phone calls, no complaints of others not being able to hear me. Love the fact I can listen to music, but also can hear my surroundings.

I was skeptical on buying these but I have had the hardest time with regular ear buds and they hurt my ears. So when I bought these I wasn’t sure but the first time I used them I was hooked! The sound is great and no one could hear the music. They stay on my head much better and I am a true believer. There will be another purchase in my future.
