So happy to have a choice besides ear buds which were always falling out of my small ear canals. Will also be great this summer when it is hot not to have anything in my ears on my walks. I like being able to hear environmental sounds and to have a conversation if I meet someone along the way without having to remove buds. Operation and charging are much simpler than with my previous ear buds. Red light to blue is very quick. Excellent solution for better listening while exercise walking.

I owned and loved my original pair of aftershokz (trekz air?) to my new open run. i love the open run small's tighter fit agains back of my head, I can lay down on a pillow with them. Their sound quality is superior and I feel the fit is better. Run time was great in the trekz air but i lost them. The new open run may have an eletrical issue which I will reach out to customer support about, BUT their battery life, charge convenience and sound quality are superior!

I love these! I use these every time I go to the gym. I never have to worry about them moving or falling off or losing them. I highly recommend them! They charge quickly as well. I bought my husband some because he was always using mine and he bought some for his parents.

Bought a pair of these for my husband because the single ear earbud he had been using for years was starting to fall apart, and he wanted headphones that would allow him to maintain situational awareness while running outdoors. He was born deaf and after many ear surgeries, he is left hard of hearing with ears that are often too small to support most headphones comfortably. I'm happy to report that these fit perfectly, and he hardly notices he is wearing them. The sound quality is great, and he actually doesn't have to max out the volume in order to listen with them like he does other headphones! He was still able to have a conversation with me as well, so he could still hear everything around him. I'll probably be getting a pair for myself to wear on my own runs at this rate. Great headphones!

The open-ear concept has its niche for certain uses. It is not a catch all for every scenario nor is there for any type of headphone or in the ear pods. Each has its own purpose. For me. I have over the ear hearing aids I wear obviously for being hard to hear. The shokz do ok with the wrap around the ear with the hearing aids though they could be tweaked a little bit for people who wear hearing aids. I also use ear pods as well. In a noisy environment the open ear concept is not going to eliminate outside noise so it will still be hard to hear your music or conversation. That is when I use my ear pod. I still want to hear my environment because of my hard of hearing so one hearing aid and one ear pod. I have my hearing aids, my ear pod and my shokz all with me when walking or riding my bike. Less noise I use my shokz because I can still hear my music or conversation and still have my hearing aids in to hear around me but in a noisy environment I put and use one ear pod until the noise subsides or if the noise is going to be a while then I just stop the music or conversation until a different time or noise is gone. I bought the shokz to try with their 45 day trial so I didn’t have to always take out a hearing aid and decrease hearing my environment and to see how they work. It works for me and I will keep mine. Obviously a noisy environment with the shokz open ear concept doesn’t work well for me but for someone who hears normally it may be fine

These have great sound and are wonderful to wear ALL day!! I personally have difficulty wearing headsets that fit inside my ears because they begin to ache after an hour. Not these Shokz, in fact I've now ordered the ShokzComm with a microphone boom, I really can get so much more done with my hands free. One pair for my office and one for everything else!

very comfortable, do not move around once on. great sound quality, works great for phone calls too. super user friendly, easy to pause and skip songs using buttons. volume buttons also easy to access quickly. impressive battery life and quick to charge.

I bought these almost 1.5 years ago. I enjoy using them when I'm doing yard work or wood working in my garage. I can still hear the music, Barely, over the weedwacker or a R.O.Sander. Anything larger and it gets drowned out. They aren't designed for that and I like being able to still anything else going on around me.

You have to understand that I “hate” anything stuck in my ears so any previous headsets have either too big or uncomfortable because they have earbuds.My daughter said, dad try these and they were wonderful and so I ordered them and it’s just what the doctor ordered!!!!

I purchased these headphones since I have to wear a hearing aid in one ear. I got tired of having to remove the air to listen to my headphone. with these I have room to put my hearing aid and still enjoying the sound while experiencing life around me. I have been recommending this for others with similar conditions or in environments where hearing your surrounding is important and still wanting to enjoy sound in ears. They are extremely comfortable and I hardly know they are on my head. The battery life is astounding as well.
