I’ll never go back to in ear headphones. They are so easy to use and set up. You can hear everything around you and very good for hearing cars while running in the countryside. Would recommend for runners who live in any area and that like to listen to music while running without worrying about headphones falling out.

I love the convenience of Shokz for both work calls and for listening to music whilst working out, as they allow me to remain aware of my surroundings by keeping my ears "open". I also really like that they are much easier to keep track off than wireless ear buds and there is only one item to charge. Build quality is also top notch. Only down side is the volume limitation, which results in not being able to hear sound from Shokz with high ambient noise. Also at higher volumes, uncomfortable vibrations may be felt at the contact points.

These ear phones are great! I bought them for my 31 yr. old son who has Down Syndrome. Since Covid he has developed a sensitivity to noise. This has developed into behavior issues. He had become dependent on his sound proof headphones. His audiologist explained how this made his sensitivity worse. She recommended these Shokz. She explained he slowly needs to get used to noise in his environment in order to handle this. That’s exactly what is happening! He can listen to his music which keeps him occupied, and also hear the noise going on around him. My husband and I love them too! I know what my husband is getting for Father’s Day!

Hello, I'm an avid mountain biker! I like to hear music while riding my bike, but always had the problem with using in ear headphones of not hearing my surroundings. Big problem for a mountain biker! So after I started following Syd & Macky (mountain bikers) on Youtube they use Shoks and always refer to how good they perform and are allowed to hear there surroundings. I was sold on buying a set of Shoks! I purchased the OpenRun model. I have been using them for about six months now. I can say that they perform flawlessly! They have very good sound quality, they are very comfortable and most of all I can hear my surroundings! I've ridden in the rain, raced some mountain bike races, even went hiking with them. In all of these situation they have worked up to the task. Easy to use, love the multi function button, that can be pushed even with gloves on, you can pause music, answer/end phone calls all in one button. Battery charges fast and last very long! I raced a 6 hour event and when finished the race, battery was at mid level.

They are comfortable to wear, the battery keeps its charge, they are unobtrusive and they stay put during exercise. Ear buds make it harder to hear ambient sound and they fall out at inopportune moments. With Shokz I can ride my mountain bike over the gnarliest terrain without worrying about losing them and still hear the forest noises.

I really like the OpenRun headphones. I find them to be very comfortable and the sound is nice. I can still hear when I have bikes coming up behind me on the trail. Too bad there is no charging information in the box. The manual is on line but the charging information should be in the pamphlet in the box.

I have several pairs of Shokz products, Sportz M3, Xtrainers, OpenConn, and now the OpenRun. They are all comfortable, the sound is amazing, and the battery life is good. I chose the OpenRun over the Pro is because the water resistance is higher than the pro version, and I tend to train in all sorts of weather conditions including heavy rain. The headphones are really light, and barely feel like they are there. The sound quality is crisp and clear with minimal vibrations at high volumes. The only downside is that in exceptionally noisy environments, the sound can be drowned out, but that is not what they are designed for. But moderate noise you can still hear your music, audiobook, or podcast.

They perform as expected. The sound quality is not as good as I thought it might be. The bass seemed to be lacking. I purchased these for an Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike so I could have open ears while listening to audio books or other such things as I hike. I've taken them out on several short-distance hikes and they've been perfect for that.

I love these headphones so much! They have been perfect on my runs, I never have to worry if they will come off when I am sweating. I also think they're great quality and they're super comfy to wear! I'll definitely be recommending them to other people!

I have the OpenRun Mini. I am really enjoying the long battery life and ability to hear while still listening to my favorite podcasts or music. Yes sound quality is slightly lower than in ear buds or over the ear cups, however I think this is a perfectly acceptable trade off to be able to hear ambient noise around myself. It makes my whole running experience safer as I typically run around area with intersections and some traffic.
