I've bought three different brand sets to get an idea of what I could expect. All the low priced sets were on but not true bone conduction, more of an open eat design. They would have a hole where the speakers are and then cindered with a rubber patch. I bought the open ruin mini as I have a small head and they for perfectly. Regular sized the band stocks out too far for my taste. The mini fits snuggly for me. Audio is great and was surprised that there is two equalizer modes(have not tried them). Overall I belive this is a good value and it is absolutely my favorite headset. I can stop my search for bone conduction headset. Thanks Openrun. Fit is so comfortable that I barely realize they are there.

I became a huge fan of Shokz four years ago, and am still a big suporter of these unique headphones! And another thing is that their customer service is second to none. I thought I had lost my set of headphones so I ordered a new pair. Then somehow they turned up but I had already recieved my replacement order. I talked to their customer service and they told me exactly how to rewritten l return this set. I decided to keep them and give them as a present to my friend for his birthday! Shokz has unparalleled customer service and they make a great product!! It's a win for everyone!

I am very happy with this purchase, using them x2 weeks now. Good sound, fast battery charging and good battery life- only have to charge once per week if I work out for 1.5 hours 6 days per week. Comfortable on my head, I am an average sized woman and chose the "mini" size. I definitely recommend this over other brands.

My OpenRun with the new small band fits great among all the other stuff on my head while biking - headband, helmet, glasses all nestle around or under or over the Shokz with no muss or fuss, it just all comes together easily when put on in the right order. I'm amazed at the comfort of the small band, even though I thought I had a big head. I did the measurements and came in just under the threshold so crossed my fingers and got the short band. Totally happy with that; believe the numbers on the tape when you measure. Of course, having my ears open lets me listen for traffic or birds or ice cream trucks while still being able to hear navigation instructions, music, podcasts, or fitness tracker prompts. The volume goes up high enough without getting "buzzy" to hear on all but the busiest fastest roads. My only ding on sound is that the microphone is not as good for office work as previous Shokz iterations - callers report to me that I sound more tinny and further away than I did on my previous OpenMove. The obvious answer to that is to get am OpenComm for work and just use the OpenRun when outside. The magnetic charging port is nifty and works great, and won't wear out like the insertable USB plugs do sometimes, but I'm a little worried about having just one little proprietary cord to keep track of and being stuck out in the world without it. With previous designs I could use a generic USB cord to charge up if needed. Anyone on the fence about these headsets just take the leap you will be so glad you did!

I love them but the biggest issue is getting them to reconnect. Even with my Iphone that I use i tevery day with. It just won't connect so then I have to Forget This Device, then find and reconnect it. Sometimes even that doesn't do the trick. Most frustrating

This is my 5th pair… 1st - Daughter, 2nd & 3rd mine. 4th, ordered not knowing my 3rd was still under warranty. 5th was replaced by Aftershokz FREE, after my pet chewed it up. 4th I gave as a gift to my sister and finally… 6th was a gift for my brother in law. We all LOVE THEM, Allot!

I’ve never been able to wear ear buds due to discomfort. My husband has had the Shokz headphones for a few years and they are attached to his head almost 24/7. Decided to treat myself and see what all the fuss is about. I love them! A joy to wear while cooking! A joy to wear out walking! Can still hear the traffic (which I want for safety) as well as hear the podcast! Genius. Thank you!!!

I definitely like the improved magnetic charging attachment. This is my third set of Shokz headphones and my only complaint is that Aubrey, who greets us when we power on and off, is not as loud as on my previous versions and wish I could hear her better. Contacted Skokz and they said this volume cannot be changed. That is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars.

This is my third pair of shokz. First set quit after a couple years, and lost the second (left behind ina hotel room). Latest version is best yet in terms of sound quality and Bluetooth connectivity. Really like being able to hear what’s going on around me as well as music/podcasts while out on my run.

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when using threes headphones. I have always been one to run with beats wireless headphones but these have exceeded my expectations. They are very easy to use and I am still fully aware of my surroundings (I often run on roads) which allows me to be cognizant of my surroundings. They are very comfortable to the point where I sometimes forget they’re even there. Worth every penny.
