This is my third pair of Shokz Headphones, last pair being Aeropex, and I've had no problems with either previous pair, in short they've been fantastic and I still use both of them. Positives, Open run pros instantly feel lighter and more comfortable than last Gen (Aeropex) and get just as loud, they also pair via Bluetooth a second or so faster Unfortunately for me that is where the positives end when comparing the Open Run Pro to Aeropex First off, I'm no audio quality expert/purist, I just want a pair of headphones that delivers something that sounds good. Music played through Open Run Pro sounds clear, but the music is dull. I use the Shokz headphones for cycling, hiking and gym, and generally listen to tracks which have a bit of energy/vibrancy to them, Open Run Pro sound profile makes the tracks sound flat and lacks bass. While Aeropex sound profile isn't anywhere near as good as my Sony WF-1000XM4 ( like comparing apples to oranges) I believe the Aeropex (last Gen) sound profile is substantially better than Open Run Pro At higher volumes with a bass heavy track, the Open Run Pro vibrate a lot, and is far more noticeable then Aeropex at the same volume, close to the point of being distracting on the Open Run Pro. Lastly the Open Run Pro came with only one charging cable, where Aeropex came with two, which is disappointing given the charging port is a proprietary design The Open Run Pro is definitely a setup up in comfort to Areopex, but a number of steps back as to track sound quality and vibration annoyance (at high volumes such as 80% or higher)

I have purchased three sets of OpenComm and six sets of OpenRunPro over the past four years or so. I have given six as gifts and have influenced a few others to purchase their own. I think this should reveal what I think of them. As a truck driver, through the years, I have used various headsets including AirPods and AirPodsPro. They are quite good but I have never purchased any for gifts.

I like the concept of these but I think the execution could use improvements. I feel like these are not resting on my ears where they should be, so I have to have the volume maxed out to get good sound quality in a midly noisy environment at my work (and even then I can'thear some of my music properly). The volume up/down buttons are hard to use due to their size and placement (one should be on the side like the universal button on the left). Have a hard time telling powering on/off is working because I can barely hear the voice feedback when I do so. I didn't notice these issues right away so even if I did the 14 day trial that wouldn't have made a difference in realizing that they don't fit me correctly. It was only when I was adjusting them one time that I noticed I could hear the sound better, but it's not where they naturally rest on my head. Also, I have a job that requires wearing a hairnet and safety glasses so they may be causing minor interference as well.

The fact that I do not keep the charging cord on me 24/7 sucks, its not a universal charging like usb C or micro and so you need almost 2 cords so that if your out and and need a charge you have one..... the s610 has one but that one fits weird on the head I don't know why. I got a pair for my kid and they have the usb c but the fit sucks. Magnetic is cool but its not convenient specially if you forget to charge it the night before or it falls off the cord and you didn't know you didn't get a complete charge.

In the past, I had trouble keeping ear buds in my ears during active workouts, hiking and other outdoor activities.The Shokz open ear concept exceeded my expectations. I can't believe how clear the sound is and how comfortable they are to wear for hours at a time. Best of all, they don't fall off! If you're active and looking for great sound and comfort, this is the ticket! I would recommend them and would buy them again.

They're pretty quiet, even at full blast. When you try to crank em up, rather than really hearing them better, it feels like they're just buzzing on your skin. I also have the Waterproof ones. Those actually get pretty loud without the buzzing feeling. The battery last longer on those than what was stated, just because I don't have to go full blast. I also downloaded the app that allows you to change the EQ. There's no notable difference between the 2 EQs though.

I liked my regular size shokz, but found they stuck out too far in back to rest my head in a chair. The regular size also were too tight and hurt my head. I switched to the mini, MY GOSH what a difference! LOVE THEM! no pain, and I'm able to relax in a chair. Love the mini Shokz!

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 love these, they are my second pair. (First pair lasted for five or six solid years before I accidentally broke them). I simply do not like the feeling of being “locked out” of the world just because I have my music on. The sound is awesome and clear, however, if a truck is headed your way, you are aware of it. Super comfortable, too.

I lost my new Shokz headset so didn't have the appetite to buy another, more expensive, new one. Instead but a refurbished headset - high model - for much less money. The set came in a package as if it were new and performs just as well. So far I am very satisfied.
