The sound (especially the bass) is much improved, and they're much more comfortable than my previous pair. They occasionally shut off unexpectedly when a call comes in or ends. I haven't found a pattern. The quick charge is impressively fast, but I'm concerned about having only one charging cable and one that's proprietary at that, meaning I can't replace it quickly. The multi-function button is harder to locate than on my previous pair. I miss the pitch change in the beeps for louder/softer on the volume button.

Pros: very comfortable, even when running with sunglasses on ... no "in-ear fatigue" that I get from wearing airpods for long periods of time Cons: sound quality is quite a bit lower than even low-quality "normal" headphones and is very impacted by outside sound. That means that, outside of running, I don't really like using these headphones. WHILE RUNNING, I find them to be quite good - though standard airpods have better sound, the Shokz headset is less susceptible to wind noise and therefore makes it overall about the same quality "net net"

I have owned 3 sets of aftershock titanium and they were great . But the New open run pros do not seem to be as loud as my others and the charge does not seem to last as long . I don’t know maybe there is something wrong with this pair . I will contact Shokz and find out . But as of right now I would not buy them again I would buy the titanium version again.

A fellow cyclist bragged about these. Our policy is if you're cheap, you're off the team. As a female cyclist, I would be considered bigger, but I am medium overall, with a smaller head (5'7"/140lbs). I thought the hoop around the back of my head would not work out, but they were perfect. Charged up out of the box, wore them for a 160 mi event. It was great to not have anything in my ear, out of the way, and never worried about anything falling out of my ear. The sound was excellent between music and navigation, and very easy to use with volume and on/off/pause. I have been using iPod Pros and have to rotate because of battery life. Basically, just get them, they are awesome. You can chat, have a little tune going for when the going gets tough during workouts, and hear what is going on around you, instead of disconnecting from the world. A++++++++

Being a not in-ear headphones, I understand that I will be sacrificing some audio qualities. At normal volume, the music is fair to good. The bass is decent as well. When the volume is turned up to maximum, you will definitely feel the vibration and the sound will obviously be clearer. However, someone standing or sitting next to you may faintly hear what you are listening to. I like this unit because you don't insert it into your ear. The unit is comfortable to use but only for a few hours. I started to feel the loop over my ear after a couple of hours using it. Its most likely because I'm not used to it yet.

These headphones are amazing. They are so comfortable that I forget I have them on. I love that I can head out on a hike or run with friends and I can still have my tunes and engage in conversation without feeling like I’m missing half of the conversation,

With the exception of Bose, I've owned and tried just about every brand of Bluetooth headset/earphone available for the last 15 -20 years, and I can say without a doubt, this is my most enjoyably treasured headset I've ever had the pleasure of wearing and using. I hope they continue to make these for years to come. I'm a consultant and spend a tremendous amount of time talking on the phone, and when I'm not I often listen to audio books. They are great!

Comfortable, great sound , easy to clean. Can wear ear plugs with them. Lightweight

Not for me they sounded great just didn’t like the was they fit on my head.

Very good audio/mic quality and very comfortable. Has a nice case also.
