I have trouble with the back up to the previous song - going forward works ok or stop/on but whenever I try to reverse it turn off instead. Also, occ concern when using a beanie to keep head warm. but I love having my ears free and not having to deal with a cord.

I was prompted to write this review after purchasing a new pair of OpenRun Shokz. They're lovely! And I'd recommend them to pretty much anyone! That said, they're also the SEVENTH pair of these I've had since discovering them. If it's not obvious, that fact cuts both ways: I love them so much that I keep buying more, and plan to keep buying more as necessary, but they don't really hold up all that well in my experience. Thinking back: I've had problems due to drop damage, multiple cases of sweat-infiltration damage, one case of battery fatigue (i.e. down to 1hr of battery life per charge), I've left a pair on a plane by mistake, and I gave away one pair to a family member (obviously these last two are 'on me'). To their absolute credit, Shokz's warranty program has covered all the damage issues for me (within the warranty period). That said, I feel like I need to own two (or more) pairs so I can continue to enjoy them when one pair inevitably breaks. I've also loved the OpenComm version for taking phone meetings during the pandemic (although I think I look like a goober wearing them.) Awesome product; I love it to death... over and over and over... :)

We own multiple pairs of these headphones. After being gifted a pair we all fell in love and have been slowly buying a pair each. Great for running, biking and lifting in the gym. Also allows for putting on surfaces that allow it to act as a speaker (we use a box jump). Fits well and never loses contact with our Garmin's or phones. Cannot recommend enough

I love my Shokz but they do feel a bit uncomfortable on my ears after wearing them for more than a couple of hours. But it’s still worth it to me since I love being able to hear everything around me. It’s also much better for my ear health since I don’t have something plugging them up.

Love these headphones! The sound is good and I like being able to hear trucks coming when I run. I also run in the rain or sometimes run into sudden downpours… and I like that I don’t have to worry about water damage like my last headphones. Bought a second set since I love them so much!

So happy with my Shokz. In the ear buds were giving me constant ear infections. I searched and searched for a solution and finally found Shokz! They are better than I could imagine. I wear them ALL the time, even to bed. I got a second pair so that one is always charging. You are still aware of surroundings and can hold a conversation. Love them!

These are my go to headphones. Use them got working out but also around the house when I want to listen to podcasts or music but stay aware of my kids. Even use them to listen in bed, they’re still pretty comfortable to lie down on. Recommend them 1,000%

I love my Shokz headphones! I really like the idea that the sound isn’t going through my ear canal. The headphones are great for people who have a hard time keeping ear buds in their ear canals! I do use AirPods when I need the noise cancellation feature; however, most of the time “open ear listening” is all I need. I love my Shokz and I use them every day!

I tried these almost as a fluke. 100% expecting to return them. I LOVE them. I have smaller ears and trying to find remotely comfortable earbuds or a headset that I can use w/ my phone, laptop, zoom calls and at the gym has been a challenge. These fit the bill in all applications for me! HIGHLY RECOMMEND giving these a try!! Very cliche' to say, but I forget that i'm wearing them.

The new version is a little less heavy duty feeling than the old but seems like it will hold up better. I sweat alot while running and these feel like they were constructed for this purpose. The charging port is updated and the new box instructs about not charging right after a workout. I have a feeling that was the issue with my last two that stopped working. Good so far! A little more quiet than the old version but still high quality.
