I was an early customer of Shokz headphone. After many years of listening, my first headphone lost its abilty to hold a charge. I got the OpenRun Pro and I love it. I am convinced that it is a far safer way to listen when exercising in public space than interfering with your ability for your ears to hear when listening in spaces that are public. The improvements made since the initial headphones is off the charts.

Overall, these are pretty good headphones for running. They do put some pressure behind my ears that gets uncomfortable after a while and they have a large loop behind the neck that sticks out the back pretty far that can be in the way. I measured before buying to make sure I wouldn't need the smaller version and was well within their measurements for the larger size, but now I'm wondering if the smaller ones wouldn't fit me better. I am an ultra-marathon runner so I always try to ensure that all of my equipment is comfortable for the long-run and fits as perfectly and compactly to my body as possible, so I was hoping for a bit better fit and comfort with these. But it is nice to be able to listen while running and still have the ability to hear my surroundings well. Setup was pretty easy.

As a runner these definitely made listening to music much easier. They stay secure and don’t bounce around(I have the mini version). They give you more situational awareness at lower volumes, but if you decide to crank the volume they can drown out all the other noise like regular earbuds. They don’t quite have the immersive sound and bass like regular headphones, but everything thing else these offer outweigh the cons.

As an individual that wears hearing aids, sun or reading glasses much of the time the Open Pro technology makes it simple and effective to accomplish the quality of sound I like, maintains extended life on my hearing aids and simply aids me in maintaining my quality of hearing! Thank You!

I wasn’t really sure what to expect but I’m so glad I made the purchase! I feel way more comfortable running outside as I can hear what is going on around me but the music is still vibrant and clear. They seem very comfortable as I have worn them up to 8 hours at a time with little to no discomfort. They are very easy to use and the connection seems great. Love my Shokz OpenRun Pro Mini!

I have now had 2 pair of the Pro headphones,and still am having issues with disconnecting from my Apple IPhone 14. The second set is a bit better but not much. I have reset multiple times. Shokz was great and replaced the first one and can't find any other reported issues regarding disconnections. I love the bone conduction idea but wish we could get this fixed so I can actually use them all of the time!

Very happy with the open run pro. I still have an older version of these but loved the thought of having a tighter fit around my neck. when running long, everything starts to bug me and the extra weight of the large loop around the neck was one that I didn't look forward to on the previous models. My only complaint is that the charger cable is proprietary. I everything else I have charges with one cable and now I need to add a second cable to the car / house / run bag etc.

Great sound, amazing comfort, and I can hear my surroundings. If you have the money for these, they are 100% worth it. I feel like I can have a full conversation with these on, with or without music playing. These also stay really clean compared to traditional buds that accumulate wax, dirt, and dust over time. I've worn these with hats and glasses on with very little issue.

Easy for my husband to multitask and have music playing in the background while we continue to work on a project together. Even easier to switch if it's a song we all like or we need his full attention. Keeps his anxiety in check and allows us to interact as much as we want. Perfect for folks with issues relating to PTSD, as they can listen without feeling vulnerable.

firmware is much better experience than i had with my aeropex - answering iphone is simply a click on headset! a few negatives - headphone occassionally goes back to handset with no action on my part, even with phone in pocket or hand. generally more comfortable than even aeropex but still may could use a better fit but that's not an easy thing to receive....I have about 1/2 in of open space around back of head and wonder if less would be better. Interestingly enough the package and instructions were lacking any reference to the app which can be installed which then enables multi-point pairing - definitely something overlooked in packaging. User friendly but I will only give a 4 since there was no reference to app and several things like multi-point pairing were not mentioned in instructions in package.
