I got these for use in a factory setting where Im listening to music pretty constantly. Earbuds can hurt after prolonged use so I really wanted to give Shokz a try. I had originally hoped that Shokz would work well while I had ear plugs in, and they do! But it sounds like listening to music that is muffled through water. . or you know, little foam ear plugs lol. For all day comfort they are amazing. And when they are being used as intended for walking or running or even being in public but wanting to maintain situational awareness - in those instances they're awesome Happy with my purchase, and shout out to the Shokz Customer Happiness team, there were several issues with my ordering process and they made sure I felt cared for and made it right. Love my Shokz!

This marks the eighth pair I’ve purchased. I’ve been a happy user since I first tried them. Immediately I purchased one and then gave them as gifts to several others. I put them on first thing in the morning and feel naked without them if I’m out and about. I only wish you made a hearing aid version that I could give to my father.

I'm a long distance runner and I enjoy listening to podcasts as I run, recently my old headphones died so I was advised to go for a pair of Shokz. In the shop they sounded great, nice and clear and really comfortable. But unfortunately when I took to the roads it was a different story. I couldn't hear anything over traffic going by, and I mean nothing. When I got off the roads and onto the trails it didn't get much better sadly. The breeze (not wind) also reduced the audio quality massively. So I'm afraid I had to return my pair and go for an alternative brand. I can see how these headphones would work in calmer conditions, but they are just not good for the windswept Wicklow hills in Ireland. Maybe as the technology develops they will improve but for me for now it's a strong pass for now.

They are the best thing since sliced bread I love them. I purchased a pair for my sister and son where have they been since earbuds. I love the fact that your ears are open to sounds around you so that you are listening to music or on a call just the fact that you can hear what’s going on. Thank you my ears are free

These are my 3rd pair of Shokz, the opencomm were great everyone could hear me wherever I was, the OpenRun is what I went to after those which I loved and still have but the day these came out I put my order in and have not regretted it one bit! The shipping was fast the audio is second to none period!

I bought these for my husband. He wears them all the time. Now I don't have to wait for him to turn off his earbuds before he can hear me. I love that! He certainly appears to be enjoying them, too. PS, I inherited his old cordless earbuds. Now he has to wait for ME to turn them off so I can hear him. I think I may be getting SHOKZ for my birthday!

I'll keep it simple. If your on the fence about buying this product well just do it. My first pair broke after a few years of everyday use. I couldn't believe it lasted as long as it did. I used them every dam day. I love these headphones and when it broke I couldn't get my second pair fast enough. I even considered buying a spare one just incase. This is a must have.

Perfect for when you want to listen to your own thing but still be able to engage in the world around you. I use my head set while supervising kids, to fall asleep while listening, and when driving my older car without Bluetooth connectivity. I like knowing that i can still hear everything going on around me while no one else can hear what I’m listening to, and the headset is so light weight it’s easy to forget I’m wearing it.

I got the minis because they are smaller than the regular ones and I love them. I use the minis when I go to the gym because they don't bother me when I lay down. The quality is great they are smaller than the regular ones. I like to use this in the house that way I can hear if they need me or if I hear the doorbell. I recommend the minis and the regular ones to everyone that asks me about them.

I bought the regular size and after they arrived thought they were too big for me. I went for a run the next day and they fit perfect. I do wonder how the smaller size would fit on me. Great sound - while at the same time able to hear my surroundings.
