After significant review, I ordered these for outdoor running. I don't wear earbuds running roads for obvious reasons. Good: These are comfortable, and I can wear them all day with no discomfort. Middle: ok sound, not high quality, this took a few minutes to get used to and you can hear around you with these on. Bad: You can hear outside noise, my gym is very loud, and these are a no-go in the gym, in fact, the few people with these put them on their ears, vs. in front, not for airplanes, mowing, and noisy areas. Overall: you get a well-built headset with a great battery length and can use them outside safely.

A little over a year ago they simply stopped producing sound. Connects only as a microphone. Repairing and resetting did not help. There is no access to any other device settings. There are only three buttons that can't do anything. I need reliable things, because such cases really throw me off balance. If you are selling them for only a year, then indicate this so that I understand what I am paying money for.

I had a problem with the Aeropex. Sometimes they would hurt the back of my right ear after many hours of wearing them, but with these, way better. Very lite, and they don't bother me. I forget they're even there. Easy to use and sound good. The case is a vast improvement from the old silicone case. Just wish they included 2 wire chargers instead of 1 like they did with the Aeropex. Having 2 come in handy. Have just 1 is a bummer. The price is a little steep. If I didn't give my Aeropex to my wife, I wouldn't have gotten the pros. I would expect a rating of ip67 at this price as well. I can't justify paying alot more for a little bit more comfort, and lower ip rating and no extra charger. They really need to drop the price for me to give it a 5 star rating, or at least put 2 chargers in the box. But I'm giving them a 3, just because it came with less in the box, and a lower ip rating at a higher price. If you have the old Aeropex, no need to upgrade if they still work. I would give the Aeropex, or Open Runs a solid 4. Had they not hurt my right ear, I would give them a 5.

I had to replace my original Aftershokz after the volume started fading in and out. My feelings about these are mixed. Hoped for a an upgrade in buying the newest and best, but the mids and lows are kind of muddy. They fit my big head fine, and the bass is a slight upgrade. They should be IP68 waterproof since they are giving up some on sound quality already and they aren't. I still love the bone conduction technology. Shop around because there are other options within this technology.

Understanding the purpose with intent of these type of headphones, they without doubt meet and to some degree exceed my expectations. The battery life is very good, the quality given its degree of how music is presented to you in this type of headset is quite impressive. Comfort is so good that you tend to forget that its on. Having a couple different sizes would be a big plus but I can understand that can make a huge impact of availability, it would be nice if you can adjust and lock in the size how it wraps behind your head, otherwise this is definitely a must have.

I have been on the hunt for headphones that feel comfortable, don't come with the "Vacuum" feeling of earbuds, are good quality and still allow me to hear my surroundings. I loved so much about these. I tried both sizes and both felt similar. They were easy to wear and generally comfortable. The sound quality was great, allowing me to hear audio clearly while also allowing me to hear things going on around me. Charging was easy and the case they came with was perfect. My only problem, and what ultimately lead me to return them, was that I got headaches, especially around my ears and jaw where they sat. The headaches would get worse the longer I wore them. I thought it might just be an initial side effect that would go away with use, so I tried them consistently for awhile. Sadly the headaches persisted and I had to return them. Luckily, right at the same time, Shokz released the OpenFit headphones, which I got. I have been using them for two weeks and they have been great! No headaches! So, the OpenRun Pro's didn't work out for me, but I still stand by Shokz.

I received the OpenRun Pro headphones as a Christmas gift. The main motivations were bone conducting technology and having open ear, but not disturbing others. I tried them out around the office and at home. My co-workers and family could hear them when I had them both on and off my head while they were playing music at a reasonable volume. I would completely disagree with the FAQ that states others cannot hear your music. They DO NOT provide private listening experience. I thought they were defective, but other runners I know have mentioned the same issues.

These are my favorite headphones to take trail running and hiking without a doubt. Sound quality is clear and I can hear any wildlife or bikers out on the trail. Just wrapped up a 30 mile trail run/hike and had plenty of battery to spare. Highly recommend!!

These are the bomb! If I lost them right now I'd buy a new pair on the way home. If you don't have a pair, you need to get them today. I'll bet I've sold at least a dozen pairs to friends and family in the last month alone. Everyone loves the mini size. Even my buddy who's 6'5"/250lbs and has a big head.

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.
