Ok, this is my second pair of open ear headsets. I can't handle earbuds, they hurt my ears. And head phones are too big and don't work on a bike. These are a great alternative. They are very secure and since I've started cycling, a very safe choice too. The battery life is great, the sound is good until I'm going about 20mph or 16 into a headwind. I tend to listen to books so I need volume a little louder. These don't really compare with my noise canceling overear headset, but i didn't expect that. But they are so much more comfortable than earbuds of any type. I just hope they last longer than my first pair of aishokz. These come with a case so that should help.

Battery life seems good. The quality seems to be better than the earlier models. It can make you a bit sweaty where they make contact, and the vibrations can be odd feeling when it’s turned up loud… but overall, they do what they claim to do pretty darn well!

I don’t feel like I can hear the sound well at all. My old pair of a different model were so much louder and sat snug against my head. I tried to file a question and do an online chat but I never hear back. I can’t listen to podcasts or books because the word are so low. I tried resetting them like the troubleshooting suggested. Kinda regret the purchase.

This is my 3rd pair. The only reason I have replaced is lost and braking the last pair. I have had ear wax problems for 30years, and these are the only alternatives for me. Great sound, can still hear what is going on around me, and very comfortable. And did I mention, GREAT Sound.!!!!!

Love my Shokz minis! Was never able to wear earbuds because my ear canals were too tiny, and the over-ear versions were painful and had poor quality sound. Now I am able to run and workout with music, a whole different level of motivation! I started with the normal size Shokz but found the band in the back to be annoying, pushing against my hoody, the headrest on my car, etc. So I bought a pair of minis and they are better, but still stick out too far. I was hoping for something that hugged my head more. I’m 5’8” so it’s strange that even minis stick out. An adjustable model would be perfect. But it’s a minor inconvenience I can live with. Overall a fantastic product!

I don’t like no having the ability to turn off the beep sound every time I need to stop playing media. The beep is actually louder than the volume of the media I’m playing which kinda irritates me since my other brand of headset didn’t have any beeps at all when pressing buttons.

They would be good for some people but for me I work in an extremely loud environment so hearing people or music is difficult. Other than that they seem good. Long lasting battery. Great noise canceling ability. But I’m old and probably half deaf so I just can’t hear most of the time

Similar to another review I read before purchase, in louder environments you need the volume cranked up all the way but the Shokz will badly distort and force you to lower the volume to a level so they wont distort deeming them useless. They work great in quiet environments but for snowboarding, driving and crowds forget about it.

Open air ear buds are pretty darn good! The sound is decent (but I’m an audiophile so pretty picky) plenty good for listening while active. The controls are surprisingly good, I expected the small volume buttons to be fiddly but they aren’t. I am pretty happy. I docked one star for the proprietary charge cord, I hate having another cord to keep track of even though I recognize that keeping the device as small as possible is the reason for it. I’d have traded the 2mm larger case on one side for a std charge plug.

I'd had the previous iteration, Aeropex, under the Aftershokz branding. I loved those things, owned three pairs overall. I was a little taken aback that these were slightly more expensive - I would have said the Aeropex were expensive, before I'd heard them. And it's the same with these. Once you hear them, you will know they're worth that price point. I did a side by side comparison between the Shokz OpenRun Pro and the Aeropex, and there's no question. Shokz took really really good headphones and made them great. The sound is clearer, and omg that bass though. I'm listening to a song with a bass drop as I type, and let me tell you, the OpenRun Pro captures it beautifully. I've also been told the sound quality of the mic is considerably better when used as a handsfree for phone calls. The quick charging is also amazing. Nothing worse than playing a game on stream and having my headphones go out, knowing that's about it. But with the OpenRun Pro, I'm able to throw them on the charger for 5 or 10 minutes, and they'll be good to go for a surprisingly long time! Overall, I've got nothing bad to say about these headphones. I'm legit trying to think of something, but nothing is coming to mind. I think the worst thing about them is that I only have the one pair right now :)
