I had a old pair of Shokz that finally died on me, so bought the new OpenRun. Even though I have a big head (when shopping for hats), the sizing chart recommended I buy the mini. Once I got them, I fell in love with them. I thought my old pair were good, but these are awesome. So small, lightweight, and fit so comfortably. They make it so easy to run with them. Very, very happy with my purchase and would recommend them to everyone.

I love ‘em . I have a bad hearing loss in my one ear and this actually helps IMMENSELY due to the bypassing of the eardrum. Beyond that you can use earplugs to basically make them noise canceling headphones. Huge fan. Fit nice. Look cool in my opinion. Good other stuff like battery life and what not.

Training for a marathon, I never listened to music because traditional ear buds would a) block most noise around me and felt unsafe and b) fall out of my ears constantly. These shokz headphones solve for both those pain points and now I can enjoy tunes and podcasts on my long runs. It takes some getting used to being able to hear stuff around you with headphones on — it kind of sounds like someone is playing music right next to you. Haven’t had any issues with sound quality or battery life so far.

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 love love love these headphones. I bought the basic model and used it for about a year. My daughter loved it and begged me to get her a pair, so I gave her mine and upgraded to these. And now my husband has also gotten a pair. I like the fit and the sound/feel of these much better, though like the buttons on the other model slightly more. Overall, however, Shokz devices are the best. I will never wear earbuds again!

Super light weight, very comfortable, and enough battery life for a long run. I have used in ear earphones and were always painful for me and did not last because I sweat so much. I like the safety side of the Shokz because I can still hear what is going on around me. I would highly recommend them.

I was more curious than anything about bone conduction earphones but wasn’t confident the sound quality and comfort would be good enough. It turns out I had no reason to worry because Shokz are amazingly comfortable and the sound quality is very good. i am very happy with my purchase!

I am a huge fan of Shokz. My first pair was the Titanium Aftershokz. Even in the 'mini' size, they were a little big and heavy around my ears. The functionality was still great and I loved using them, just couldn't keep them on for long periods. They did start to fail after about a year and a half, but Shokz honored their warranty. Finally deciding to upgrade to the 'mini' OpenRun was the best decision ever. I have often worn them all day and even forgotten they were on until a phone call came in. The main thing that brought my attention to Shokz was the multipoint pairing. I have to keep two phones on me, work and personal. My OpenRun (and Titanium) paired perfectly with both phones. I can leave my phones in my office, walk SEVERAL offices away and never lose connectivity with either phone. I also spend a fair amount of time driving. Being able to juggle phones calls from both phones with just a tap of a button on the Shokz is amazing! I don't use them much for music so if you're a huge music buff that is obsessed with music sound quality, I can't help you much there with my opinion. But for casual, occasional listening they work perfectly fine for me. I have yet to run the battery dead. Like I said, I don't stream music through them all day either though. Maybe an hour of music or other audio during the day and occasional phones calls. I've thrown the charger on them for about an hour once every few days just to bump them back up some. I think the lowest the battery has gotten (according to the welcome voice) is medium. To sum all of that up, Shokz OpenRun are absolutely amazing and I couldn't be happier. They truly make it easier to get through the day.

I bought these as a birthday present for my wife. She has recently started listening to audio books, but is uncomfortable with earbuds in her ears or headphones over her ears. These were a complete shot in the dark, but she LOVES them. Now she uses them not only for her audiobooks, but also for work calls & webinars. This is a great product, and you definitely have a very happy customer.

Pros... Comfortable to wear Don't block my ears so I can hear surroundings They don't fall off Has actual buttons that can be felt so no hanging up calls by accident. Cons... Cannot hear well when speaking to people-volume doesn't go loud enough. Everytime the phone dings, instead of hearing the actual sound, it buzzes on your skin. It's quite annoying. Keeps cutting in and out when using my computer Does not last 10 hours as advertised after 2nd charge. I really wish the Bluetooth worked better, battery lasted longer and there were ways to adjust the sounds better so I can hear who I am speaking with. This is crucial to my classes.
