After spending some time with the Shokz MINI OpenRun Pro. I've honestly set aside my AirPods The sound experience is different!!! Shokz offers a different experience that allows me to not miss out on what's going on around me. I won't miss a forklift coming by, boss, homie, wifie..etc. asking you a questions, or the car passing by while jammin' out to Madonna. Shokz are very user friendly before and after reading the manual. Even after having some slight hearing impairment issues, I can still fully experience Shokz in a better way than inear buds. The sound experience is like it's in your head! It's just the way you want it to sound at high and low volumes either passing by loud TV's or just low enough to still hear the creaking of footsteps down the hall. The sound quality experience is again very different in comparison to traditional earbuds or headphones BUT, is very crisp and clear with vocal audio and has nice comparable bas quality some may be looking for. It's like the music is in your head. If you need that boom, get the top of the line!! The pros are very satisfying for the little sacrifice. There are some songs that may sound quiet but most will be loud enough to almost block out what's going on around you. The durability is not at all what I expected. I was very delicate and gentle with my Shokz. Too afraid to set them anywhere(still am) but the case or near water (let alone sweat) You don't have to worry about any of that with the Shokz OoenRun lineup. You have more durability coverage with the OpenRun's and colors! Just give em a quick rinse. The comfort of my Mini Shokz is superior to any other headset I've owned that sits over ear or in-ear. Allowing me to feel little to nothing with my thin or thick frame glasses. Of course there is some slight discomfort by the end of the day from having something natural on. This feeling is far less in comparison to an inear headphone. I can wear a beanie comfortably without the awkward scratchy noise other In-ear buds give or have something large sticking out of my ears. The Shokz have a very unique, slender, and discreet design. The battery lasts a whole day and some depending how you use Shokz. Shokz have outlasted all my previous headphones I love my Shokz!!!

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.

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.

Refurbished but looked and worked like new. First time not using typical ear buds or plantronics for running. I was a little worried they would chafe my ears or head, but no irritation after running ~5 miles daily for weeks. Highly recommend OpenRun Pros for running.

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!

After 3 years my headphones finally died. As a welder/fabricator I put them through the test, constantly sweating, grinding, and welding. I also liked them because it encouraged me to wear hearing protection around all the loud noise. Best headphones ever! I plan on getting another pair but it doesn't really fit in the budget for now, work has been boring and having to answer the phone with my hands also bums me out.

I have been a loyal Shokz customer for several years. They are so comfortable I often forget I am wearing them. They are perfect for running, biking and general use. I appreciate the comfort and ability to hear what is happening around me. Call quality is excellent as well. I prefer them to my car's Bluetooth connection. Customer support is excellent! Responsive, professional and courteous. Thank you for an outstanding product!

I bought this mainly for work meetings, not for listening to music. I like it except I'm still figuring out the best way to wear it with my glasses. Sometimes it feels like it's hurting the top of my ears where it loops over but I think if I align it to sit side-by-side with my glasses instead of on top of each other, it feels better. There are days when I feel like they are too tight and gives me a headache. Bottom line, I'm still testing these out.

After using Shokz headphones for a few years, I am never buying another type of headphones ever again! You are able to be completely aware of your surroundings while still having good sound quality. You can comfortably wear them all day, both because they stay on very well (including during exercise, I wear them when I go on my bike) and because (for me) the battery can last multiple days on a single charge. They are incredibly light as well, adding to the effect that you're not wearing headphones at all when you're listening to something.

Use as phone is excellent, microphone picks up well and calls come through clearly. Use as headphones for music is ok, not really comparable to a high quality in ear or over ear headphone. Volume isn't there, clarity isn't there, bass isn't there. For use running they work fine, nice to have music in the background and still be able to hear what's going on. They stay on quite well which is the biggest point in their favor.
