My husband originally bought the OpenRun headphones and really enjoyed them until our puppy got ahold of them. They are not dog proof lol. So he upgraded to the OpenRun Pro and he noticed a bit of a difference and is glad he upgraded. He really enjoys these especially when running on the road he can hear cars coming behind him a mile away still while listening to his music. Also they are comfortable! He says he doesn’t even notice he has them on most of the time.

These are great headphones for running in the woods. You can hear music fairly well, and what is going on around you. When road running, car noises really impacts the noise you hear in the headphones. I used AirPods before getting these, and could hear music and car traffic fairly well. They aren’t super great for talking on the phone, as it’s hard to hear the conversation if there is any outside noise. I’d assume listening to a podcast would also be challenging. Sound quality is just ok. I am a female with a smaller head, and ordered the mini’s. I think the regular would fit poorly.

Hi All, I had a previous pair of shokz and they were terrific. They broke after 2 years and I bought this new pair. The sound is much more garbled when I am in an even bit noisy place. I am curious if the newer ones are better and can I trade up? Thanks Bob

These headphones are great in many ways but fall just short or in ear earbuds. Pros: Very comfortable They let you hear things around you while still clearly hearing music. Easy to put on. Cons: Slight buzzing feeling at high volume. Good sound but not as good as a pair of similarly priced earbuds. If you only want the best sound, go for a different pair of good earbuds. If you want something that is very comfortable for workouts and let's you hear your surroundings, these headphones are fantastic if you don't mind a slight drop in sound quality.

Sound quality is very good. I would have liked for the head set to have some "bend-ability" so that I could more closely fit device to the ear. Controls work well and a single charge lasts several hours. Bone conduction technology eliminates need for in ear fit, so no more "runners ear". Noise cancellation is somewhat effective. This could be improved.

Absolutely love these headphones! Sound quality is great both while listening to music and talking on the phone. My ears just do not work with any kind of ear buds, so these are a dream come true. I even bought a pair for my best friend and she loves them too!

I love my Shokz! So easy to use and set up and light and comfortable! I love that I don't have to have something in my ears or worry whether they'll fit or fall out...just wrap around and go! A game changer whether working out or sitting listening to music! Love!

For some reason NO earbuds will stay in my ear! I have tried every brand and certainly wasted a lot of money. Problem solved. Not only are these OpenRun Pros comfortable and extremely secure, they give me a comfortable volume and my husband doesn’t have to hear my podcasts blasting on an external speaker in the house or outside on a walk. These are truly a game changer for me! If I could I would rate them even higher than a 5!

Love love love these. Wore them on my first half marathon the other day and they have become my go to for all outdoor running and riding. Simple to use, connection great etc. love a longer battery life for this ride run brick days, right now means charging after every use or every other use. Totally worth it though

Overall I like Shotz open ear headphones, ease of use, sound and ability to enjoy my music while being aware of the environment around me. A version with slimmer/smaller external ear pieces and control box plus additional color options would make these perfect.
