The special charging cord? Nobody wants to carry more chords! If you lose it break it or forget it you’re out of luck using your device please change in the next version.

I love the headset. Earbuds always fall out of my ears, and these just rest near your ear, and it’s still great quality. You can also hear your surroundings.

I loved everything about the sound and fit. When I ran with a long tail in, it would hit the back of the shocks and make it bounce. It was quite annoying.

I now ask myself why did I wait so long. As a runner I got tired of the in the ear ear buds. Shozs were on sale and I had heard that they were great. I took a chance and bought it. Total game changer. The battery life is added bouns.

overall sound quality is pretty good considering they're not in my ears. durability seems great have used them for the last 2 months without really any issue. The multifunction play pause forward back button is a little annoying but I understand the space-saving.

I love these headphones. The earbud type (wired and wireless) never seem to fit my ear right. These sound great. As they transmit sound through the bone in front of the ear, they are not bothered by slight changes in positioning. There is also very little leakage of sound to others around you. You can hear outside sounds unobstructed while wearing them. This makes them perfect for walking/running around traffic or other occasions when you need to be alert. It is a disadvantage for noisy settings, such as busy coffee shops (but I keep my old earplug-style earbuds for those situations). The battery is very long lasting, and there is an audio cue that provides you with the general state of the power as you use them (high, medium, low, "please charge me").

I have had the aftershocks air and aftershocks aeropex. And now I have the open run pearls which are supposedly two generation, newer phone conducting better bass longer life longer battery everything. But to be honest, I don’t find that much difference between these Open Run pro and the aeropex especially at first. Out of the box I was really disappointed, now they’ve had time to loosen up some they do sound better but $80 better?

My husband had a pair of the formerly Aeropex and convinced me to get a pair. I bought this issue for me. They have great sound and I love the idea of them but the majority of the time I use them around the house and they are constantly stuck in my hair and my hair has to be pulled back or tucked behind my ears to use these so I gave the new pair to him. He loves them. They are perfect for working out or going for a run but with everyday use with long hair it just doesn't work for me.

I like the concept of not having anything in your ears. I don't like that after only a few noncosecutive days of wearing them for up to five hours they irritate my frontal ear. Also, I had to use ear plugs in order to hear with them on the airplane, on the harbor, in the gym. DO NOT purchase these. YOU will be sorry. I purchased for a trip in July and have not worn them since....

I like the fact that I can be aware of other people in the room and converse yet listen to my interests at the time like news,music,live tv etc. great for driving an easy to connect to all devices. I still have my favorite over the ear for those times but these are GREAT.
