I was trying to pick her ear piece that would not pick up background noise well these picks up background noise and a lot of times I can be talking and it goes back to my phone so I don't know if I was spend that kind of money on another pair of not but if you're looking for something for videos music podcast and stuff like that they're great I have mine because I drive trucks everyday and I needed a good headset that's not it

I been listening to Shokz headphones for years. I do a lot of running and cycling at being able to hear my surroundings is a must. So, when I saw that now you can charge them with USB-C, I just had to get a 2nd pair. I use it for all my outdoor activities, and now I use the older pair for desktop listening and Zoom calls. Couldn’t be happier!!!

Have worn previous gen Open Run headphones nearly everyday for 2-6 hrs at work plus during runs and working out. Prefer them for phone calls around the house as well. Only thing they're not great for are loud environments. You can use foamie earplugs but it doesn't sound great. I wouldn't use this style of headphone for a plane or mowing the lawn, etc.

Daily use of various models of these for years. They'll wearout after about 2500 to 3000 hours, and its usually the titanium frame or charging port, not the sound quality that finally kills them. The magnetic charging port addresses one of those issues. The titanium is just material feature.

They stay on my head, I can hear outside noise (important for trail safety) but the sound quality is great, and the charge lasts a long time - I was out for 7 hours and they were still going strong. Only thing I wish was different is that I could turn off the option to dial the last number called - I butt dialed my sister by accident. . .

I work at a bike shop and was looking for a pair of open ear headphones to stay in the loop but still listen to my music. Shokz OpenRun is perfect for this. The volume is capable of overcoming most noise, unless there is a lot of louf ambient noise, like a crowded restaurant or a compressor running. But this is the nature of open ear headphones. Battery is great and easily gets me through 7 to 8 hour days without pauses at a comfortable volume. Even goes further after work when I take a walk outside. You can hear everything around you, which is great for being aware. Bass is lost for the most part, but is there enough for music in addition to the world around you. Everything else is good. You shouldnt get these headphones to just listen to music. They are just to add a soundtrack to daily life. And for that, top notch! Buttons are intuitive, and being waterproof is great for confidence using them anywhere. One drawback - if you try to lie your head back on a pillow or headrest, the headband gets pushed forward and moves the headphones out of position.

I’ll begin my review with: these sound great, and are exactly what they promise they will be. However, they just don’t stay on my head. If you have a big head, say hat size 7. 5 , I don’t think these will stay in place for you. When I workout, they constantly slip into my actual ear holes - which is not particularly pleasant.

I unfortunately lost my original Aftershokz and recently purchased some OpenRun Shokz and they’re awesome! The originals were still going strong all these years later so I hope the new ones are just as good. These are a must for me at work and on the mtb trails. At work I have to be able to monitor a radio while working out and on the trails I can hear other riders and hikers all while enjoying my music. They’re lightweight and fit perfectly under my helmet strap while wearing sunglasses. I would highly recommend the OpenRun to anyone on the fence about bone conduction ear buds. You won’t regret it. And best of all. No more sweat inside my ears!

I bought these to use while grinding blades. I am a full time bladesmith, using my new Shokz with disposable earplugs, and under a 3M Adflo papr system with a hard helmet. It works great! I am hearing impaired from years of industrial noise, and they still are loud enough for me to enjoy listening, while wearing all the gear. I am very pleased. Especially about the light weight and water resistance. This is the most gratifying purchase of new technology for me in many years. Thank you. I love my Shokz open run mini.

I have the older open shokz and didn't know there was size options, I now have the new veryson with a more curved space for my ears *with glasses is important! and the correct size for my head. The fit is comfortable, they are light and the sound is amazing for both people on the phone call, the music, the podcast all sound perfect too.
