They sound ok, they function ok but they're just not what I was hoping for. I have rather large hands and the small buttons are just too difficult for me to work with. In addition, when doing excercises that require that my head rest against a support, the band at the back of my head was bothersome.

I have had a bike helmet with integrated bluetooth speakers but the Openrun Pro is definitively better in sound quality and better than my expectations on all points. They are very comfortable (more than any standard earplugs, barely noticeable, stay perfect in place. Perfect for safe ride and enjoying good sound or taking calls.

This is my second pair of Shokz - I bought my first pair after an accident that left me very sensitive to sound. I love this concept or controlling sound while still being able to hear things around me if I need to. These make for a very friendly office environment and the consistent tone in my ear is never "shocking" like other ear pieces in your ear. It's also like there are not even there under the back of my hair almost non-detectable.

Finally, I don't have to continuously push the headphones back into my ears on a run! They're a little big and bounce a bit, especially when I have a hoodie on but not enough to make me reach for the ear buds again. The sound quality isn't what you would get with Beats or AirPods but it's still really good. The only two “downsides” (I wouldn't really even consider them that) are not enough to make me even consider returning them.

The concept of bone conduction hearing is probably only familiar to those that have had a recent hearing test. When that part of the test is performed you can actually hear the test tones with your inner ear through bone conduction. So this concept is not a gimmick and it actually works. I was quite surprised when I experienced it for the first time and I never knew that it was even possible. These headphones take that concept to a new level and instead of hearing test tones you can actually hear your favorite music or audio programming instead. The advantage being, that you have a way of listening to your favorite audio as well as what is going on around you simultaneously. In effect, technically, your ears become a two channel audio mixer with audio perceived from the normal way, through the ear canal into the ear drum as one audio channel and the audio perceived through bone conduction through to the inner ear as the second audio channel. So what does all of this get you? Probably for the first time in your life you can have your cake and eat it too. You can hear your favorite audio programming almost like background music while being able to hear everything else going on around you at the same time. This cumulative effect may take a little getting used to, especially if you have never experienced anything like it before, but the acclimation process is quick and you will get used to hearing two different and separate audio sources in no time at all. So, if you are in a situation where you need to pay attention to the sounds around you but also want to hear your favorite jam at the same time without losing one or the other, then these are the headphones for you!

I love these. I love being able to listen without blocking my ears. They are comfortable, I don't even know they're there and I don't have to worry about loosing one. They even fit comfortably underneath my noise cancelling ear muffs when I cut the lawn.

These are hands down the best open ear headphones I've ever owned. Lets me listen to my favorite music while cycling outside and keeps my ears open to hear my surroundings. Battery life is great and I live the new design of the Pro. This is an upgrade from the Aeropex (which I still use)! I also went with the mini size and love how it hugs closer to my head.

A completely disappointing pair of "Pro" headphones. The original OpenRun headphones are absolutely amazing, but the Pro version are a downgrade that cost more. The Pro version aren't as loud, a little bit of sweat messes with the microphone on phone calls, and the play/pause button isn't always receptive. I've been using Shokz headphones for a few years now, and on average, wear them for 16 hours a day. I won't be buying another Pro version, but will gladly go back to the original OpenRun.

I bought a pair of openrun pro one week ago. The best thing ever! I love them! Father of three and now able to listen to stuff without being distant and not hearing what's happening. Awesome! But I have to find something negative. Not much but something. The “connect” and play/pause/answering notification sound, the beep, is way to loud. And not controlled by the other volume. Think that something to look at. Fantastic when working out. Running in the forest with a dog and able to hear all that happening around you. Thanks!!!

On a walk, I can jam and hear the birds sing ( or a car approaching behind me). In the car, I can answer the phone hands free. The bass is much improved over my previous Aftershotz. I forget sometimes that I have then on. It's wonderful to add earplugs when I mow the lawn and have great music.
