I HATE having things in my ears. They usually don't fit, and are uncomfortable after a while. Shokz have been the answer. Comfortable, I can hear the room noise and doorbell if I need to, or wear headphones to hear when I'm mowing the lawn. Good sound. Good battery life. Easy charging. I have minis. Would like to see more fun colors. I have several Shokz, so I can use another set while one is charging. Once I had these, I never went back to my previous headphones. We're going steady.

They are ok for what I use em for but I feel like the mini is still too big for my head. There seems to be so much space still and they move more than I like when using them. The sound quality on the other hand is pretty good. And then are pretty simple to operate.

Love the simplicity, even though they are packed with the important features! Battery life, sound, ease, and comfort exceed all of my needs for headphones that are durable for an active lifestyle and allow much needed situational awareness while engaged in any activity.

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.

Great way to enjoy music on walks and runs. Surprisingly clear audio with well defined highs, mids, and lows. They are high quality, and I feel it would be difficult to break them. The buttons are tactile and responsive, and have been quite effortless to learn.

OPENRUN PRO - These sound and fit fabulous. Very impressed with the sound and build quality. I'm excited to start using them on my runs. Definitely need to have the added benefit of awareness of surrounding whether on a trail, urban area, and even a treadmill at the gym.

I started on Aftershokz with the Aeropex. Now using the OpenRun Pro and the OpenRun Pro Mini. Both solid products. I have a big head and the mini is just fine for fit. So my advice is if you wear these with a helmet for sports, the mini keeps them closer to your neck. Very helpful with bike helmets which have straps and supports on your neck.

I am largely satisfied. I only bought the small strap. and even the small one seems too big because it catches the edges of the jacket. it would be possible to improve this module generally without a strap with a charging case and with a type c charger. then be worth the money. now I can't recommend it to anyone.

I was a bit skeptical because I'd tried a cheap knock-off brand of bone conductiong headphones and didn't care for them at all. Still, I kept hearing rave reviews from other runners about Choks and when they had a sale,I took the plunge. I ordered the Open Run Pro Mini and crossed my fingers they were as good as I'd hoped. Shoks are comfortable, unintrusive, fit perfectly against the side of your face, don't slip off when you sweat, they are lightweight, the buttons are easy to use and understand, even mid-run. When NOT actively excercising, like say, listening to an audio book while doing chores, I do notice them a bit more, but they aren't uncomfortable at all. Amazingly, You really CAN hear everything around you as well as whatever you are playing. It's not weird or strange and the only way they vibrate against your skin is if you crank them up to full blast and play something with a lot of bass. I'm totally sold! The only small downsides are I can't wear them in bed because of the design (haven't tried flipping them around) and getting them to connect to the 'correct' device when I['m using more than one is a bit fiddly. both of those downsides are the same as ANY set of listening devices, so It's not even a bad thing, just a minor annoyance.

These are everything I'd hoped for & more!! I feel so much safer running with these outside as I'm able to zone out to motivating run music all while still able to hear everyone and everything else around me! I'm buying a set for my son and daughter also!! Sound quality of the music was also a shock to me...amazing!
