The only redeeming quality I see is water resistance. Other than that: - Battery life is brutal. May be good for next 5 or 10K. But "8 hour" battery life is a myth. I ran the other day and 90 minutes it was saying it needed a charge - The sound quality is mediocre at best. High end sounds cause buzzing - The website is brutal. You need a separate username and password to register the product and a different one for the main site. So every time I logon, I spend 15 minutes recovering password - No battery life indicators - No indicators to tell you if they are on or off

I will never where another type of earphone. Where this really stands out is, I can work and still be aware of my surroundings. Taking care of kiddos you come to learn that when you hear the yelling, scrambling an wrestling all is good. But when everything goes silent something got broke,someone is hurt, or they are up to some mischief! So being able to listen out is life changing and any way I can always just get earplugs in the chance I get to escape.I Love the headphone quality, warranties and comfort A+

I bought these due to usb c charging as I liked the idea of not having to have multiple cables for my devices. This is a bit of a disappointment. The buttons are not as reactive as the regular open run. Other than that the headphones are great, can hear the surrounding while walking/running.

These headphones are incredible. I bought them for running because I've been sick of my AirPod Pros blocking the noise from the outside world and I was uncomfortable with having headphones inside of my ears. Enter the Shokz, which have solved all of these problems and more. They have impressive battery life, high-quality audio, and they let me hear passing traffic while listening to my running playlist.

I bought these as an upgrade to my Titaniums because I am starting to listen to more podcasts while riding. The Titaniums were great for music, but not good for podcasts. The OpenRuns are a great improvement on sound quality and volume so that I catch every word on my podcasts. My only complaint is that they do not automatically connect to my devices. I use them on two different devices and if I switch from one to the other, I have to go into my bluetooth settings to reconnect each time. The Titaniums were automatic.

Anyone who wants to listen to their podcasts/books while not tuning out background sounds (either for safety or necessity) should strongly consider these. I have been able to wear these more often than my bud-type headphones because my kids don't have to shout and wave their arms to get my attention, and I feel safer running with them so I don't miss nearby cars, bikes, deer, etc. So far I'm really enjoying them. The sound quality is great, they're unobtrusive, comfortable, and have an excellent battery life. Strongly recommend.

Love them. I like the ability to hear other sounds yet also have these on. Also unlike ear buds which always seem to fall out ORale my ears sore. These are way more comfortable to use. The long battery life is also something I enjoy. I am able to walk around my house without loosing the signal. I highly recommend them.

I like these a lot. Only thing I wish they had more color options to choose from.. I got the grey ones and they’re easy to clean so far, though I would’ve loved pink or gold. They’re really small in size so they’re easy to fit in my purse. If my sister hadn’t mentioned these I wouldn’t have known about them, but it’s the best for safety. Pros: Not having earplugs in for a woman is wonderful in case there’s a stranger danger nearby. I also love the feature button that will cut off sound at a moments notice. The sound quality overall is pretty good. They are also very lightweight you could forget you’re wearing them! Cons: wish they had more variety of colors like pink and gold!! Or even glitter maybe for a “special limited time”. That would be so awesome!

This is my second pair of Shokz and I love them! It’s nice to still be able to hear what is going on around me when I run in busy areas. I don’t feel isolated or removed from everything. Plus, they are so comfortable, I sometimes forget I’m even wearing them after I turn them off!

Upgrade from a previous aftershokz headphones that I received as a gift in 2019. Great for what I use them for, runs and exercise. I went with the run model vs pro due to the IP rating. I'm a heavy sweater and these don't seem to be affected at all by water/moisture. Actually forgot to take them off after a run once and wore them in the shower with no issues! Sound is good for bone induction, but you won't get the same quality as my airpods, but i knew that coming in. I mostly listen to podcast and guided runs when running but do use for music for long runs. Quality is MUCH better than my previous aftershokz model. For activites, they don't move much once I get them on my head, sweat doesn't affect. I wear them with a hat mostly, and that doesn't seem to be an issue with fit. Previous model caused discomfort when wearing headband, but haven't worn a headband with these yet. Woud highly recommend for runners! One thing I have noticed, is sometimes when switching between bluetooth devices (iphone and apple watch) the transition between the two is not as seamless as my previous aftershokz. If I switch from one to the other, it doesn't always switch back. other than that, its been a great product!
