Love this headset.

Great sound with a comfort level that makes all day use no problem. It's paired great and has both a good range and lots of use time. I easily get 10 hours or more. Over all it's a great headset and it's open design is just the best of all the open ear headsets I've tried. Since it's bone conducting it's truly open ear. As one who wears both glasses and hearing aides it's the first headset I've found that works for me.

Comfortable for runs, hikes and bike rides.

The comfort of wearing these far exceeds any "in the ear buds". Wear them under my mtnbike helmet and still able to hear sounds around me. Wore in a half marathon race, comfort amazing. Do have to turn the volume up a bit higher if there is a lot noise in your environment. Highly recommend you give them a try.

Does not pair with MacBook and does not allow you to switch from music to a phone call

While I love the sound - the headphones will not pair with my MacBook. I have done all of the troubleshooting and contacted customer service and the issue does not seem to be resolved. I have also found that I cannot switch back and forth between a phone call and music. The instructions for the headphones require you to listen and watch for a light which is not possible. Very disappointing.

OpenRun vs OpenRun PRO

I currently have the OpenRun 8th Gen (when it was still called the Aeropex AfterShockz prior to the name rebranding thus I have the old logo). Overall, I am very happy with this product. Just recently I saw that a 9th Generation OpenRun PRO was just released to kickoff the 2022 New Year. In comparison, there's only very slight differences between the OpenRun (8th Gen) versus OpenRun PRO (9th gen), of which I will note below. So if you're currently considering on getting the PRO like I am, consider if the differences are worth it: • 8hr charge for the OpenRun versus a 10hr charge time for the OpenRun PRO. Okay yeah...I dig it :) Any extra usage time is always a plus for me especially on days when I'm too lazy to charge. • The OpenRun weighs 26g and the PRO weighs a little heavier at 29g but not a deal breaker for me. • Different placement in terms of the charging port (which is neither a good or bad thing, just an observation). • The OpenRun PRO has faster charge time of 1-hour versus the 1.5 hours for OpenRun 8th Gen (but honestly an additional 30 mins is not a big deal at all that would make me jump for joy and run out to get a PRO). I usually unconsciously leave my headphones on the charger for longer than it should anyways since I sometimes forget about it while running errands and doing other things around the house. So this additional charge feature I didn't care much about. • OpenRun is 'waterproof' (IP 67), while the OpenRun PRO is only 'water-resistant' (IP 55), which confuses me. Honestly my biggest beef here, obviously. IP rating weathers dust and moisture, so they are durable enough to withstand rainy runs, sweaty rides, or other gritty conditions. So like WHY would the new generation downgrade the IP rating??? This makes no absolute sense. Typically shouldn't new generations in anything be more advanced and not a less/downgraded version of it's former counterpart?! So I would really like to know why???? Definitely a major turn-off. • The PRO version has two bass enhancers, unlike it's former counterpart. I'm very excited to find that the new OpenRun Pro has incorporated the two bass enhancers. This is pretty much the ONLY reason why I would get the PRO because I've aways complained about how much I like my headphones except for the lack of bass and sound quality. Hoping the more premium sound quality of the bass enhancers is as advertised and worth the penny for music listeners like myself. So that pretty much sums up the differences in a nutshell between the OpenRun and the OpenRun PRO in terms of features. In comparison to everything else, all the other features are exactly the same between the OpenRun and the OpenRun PRO in terms of sensitivity, wireless range, microphone, bluetooth type, command controls, frequency response, compatibility, moisture detection, frequency, etc etc etc. I haven't bought the PRO yet given the pricetag so I'm going to wait until my birthday this Summer to get one, and again mainly for the bass enhancers and the extra 2-hours battery life, which for me are both very important to me so hoping when I do get it, that it won't be a disappointment. Another thing I want to mention in terms of its size is that I would like to see a "Mini" version of the PRO. Makes no sense to have a Mini for the standard OpenRun but not have it available for the OpenRun PRO. The "Mini" is very popular especially amongst us ladies so I'm hoping to see if there'll be one by Summer. Guess I'll see what happens when the time comes!

Great for work

So i been using these daily while at work and at home on my computer. In the louder work environment they work well when played at a louder volume, downside the battery dies a bit faster. When im not at work and at home or outside they work great and the battery lasts forever. Highly recommend these for everyone!

More uses than I imagined

I have been on the fence about these headphones for ages before finally taking the plunge, as I hate stuff being in my ear. They are great I usually use them for running, but have also used them when studying and taking zoom calls. I was recently traveling (via plane) and found that the combination of my loop earplugs and my shokz was one of my best ideas.

Absolutely great!

My absolute new favorite headphones. They are comfortable and lightweight. I got the smaller ones and very happy I did. They were nicely packaged and shipped quickly. The phone setup was so easy. I never used headphones for phone calls before I got these. I really love listening to my music with these also. I love that you can hear the music and still hear around you.

Sounds great and are very comfortable

The only problem is there must have been a small rubber cover for the charging plug that I never even knew I had to look for and now its missing. Another very minor complain is the left click button could have a bit more a bump so you know where to press it.

Amazing headphones

love my new Shokz OpenRun headphones. The sound is amazing, they fit amazing, they connect fast and flawlessly to my iPhone, and they are durable and comfortable. I have used them biking and running, and they stay on my head well and don’t move around. Their own built in microphone is nice, allowing me to receive calls at work. I would seriously recommend these headphones.

Had problems connecting every time I powered them on.

I eneded up returning these. The sound quality for music was fairly mediocre, fine for calls and audio books. Very comfortable. Easy to use with the exception that it took several attempts to connect every time I powered them on which ultimately was why I returned.
