I love these headphones for just what they were meant for. To be able to listen to music/podcasts/ etc while still having heads up awareness and being able to hear all the elements around me. Sure I don't hear the music as well when I'm in high road traffic, but more importantly, I can hear said traffic. I am also aware of the people around me or when someone may be stepping into my blind spot. They exceed what is expected of them, and as being someone that works in the music industry, I wear these at work rather than ear buds, as with ear buds I found my ears ringing after prolonged wear. These have been an incredible investment and highly recommend these to anyone.

I'm very pleased with mine. I utilize mine everyday, when exercising. I walk 5 miles daily and my OpenRun Pro never lets me down rain or shine. Sound is great even with traffic close by. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to ,at the very minimum listen to music.

I like my Openrun Pro Mini quite a lot. It is comfortable, the sound is adequate, it charges quickly and the charge lasts as long as I need it to. I mostly use it while taking walks, but also while I am bike riding sometimes. I bought them because my Shokz Aeropex was stolen and I hoped the new one would sound even better, because of the significantly higher price. The only thing I like better about the Openrun Pro is the volume + button is slightly reconfigured and is a little easier to click. I was a little disappointed that I don't perceive more real value for the extra cost.

I have should have purchased these instead of those cheap phony ones that were supposed to be rated the best. I am very happy with these headphones. I had a cheap set of headphones, that died after the 30 day warranty. I like the controls that are on the headphones, and I like the sound very much.

I love my Open Run headphones. I run daily and do several races a year and these have been my tried and true run accessory for almost a year now. The sound quality and battery life are better than expected. There is however one area that I wish they'd improve on. The charging port in the headphones is not enclosed or covered so the metal contacts are exposed to water, and sweat. While these are rated at IP55 my headphones will no longer charge after 11 months of almost daily use because the charge port has become rusted and literally disintegrated last night. I typically wipe them down after use to get the salt off but they've continued to rust to the point that the charge port is completely broken. If they can fix this one issue they would last a lot longer and boost my confidence in the product.

As someone with sensory issues I've never liked the feeling of earbuds inside my ear. After recently getting into outdoor running, I ran across an advertisement on Instagram for Shokz. Not only are they super comfortable but I can still hear things going on around me while I'm on a run! I'll never go back to traditional earbuds.

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.

I've had the Trekz Air when the company was still called AfterShokz. Great piece of headphones and lasted me all these years. It still actually works great, but just recently started having some trouble only when making calls where I sound like I'm cutting in and out apparently. If that didn't happen, I'm almost certain I wouldn't have traded them in. I'm only a few weeks in using the OpenRun and can't say much yet, but here are my thoughts so far: Pros: 1) Light and 2) aesthetically sleeker than older model. Mild Annoyances: 1) The flexibility of the headphones causes them to flop around a bit when trying to handle them, a bit annoying when in a hurry. 2) It might be different if I got the mini size, but I feel the conduction piece moves easy so I have to adjust them often versus the Trekz Air sat right where I needed them and stayed in place. 3) Also I'm noticing the sound isn't coming through as clear as the Trekz Air did. As I said, still getting use to these so I'll give it a little more time. On a side note, after I got the OpenRun a few weeks later the new ear pieces were released... so, yeah, that wasn't annoying or anything, lol.

First off- these are very very comfortable- extremely light weight and yet with good retention. The sound quality is good- with better than average bass response. All that being said, they are *quiet*- if you listen primarily to audiobooks or podcasts at low decibels, it will be difficult to make them out. This is a function of the form-factor- they are very much open ear for the sake of situational awareness. Just be aware that certain kinds of sound media will work better than others, especially in the presence of ambient noise. The more bass you have in the media, the clearer the sound will be. Battery life is good- lasting about 2 days of moderate use. Pleased so far- but will be following up based on lifetime use, namely: how long until the batteries start to lose charge? These do have a finite lifespan, with no way to replace the onboard lithiums with fresh ones. That is my other point of contention: these are disposable- they will not last and absolutely have a finite lifespan. I wish they would make ones with replaceable batteries, or have a program that lets you mail them in to get fresh ones installed. Making items that last is preferable to generating more ewaste for the landfills, but adds more complexity to design. Whether or not I purchase more pairs of these in the future will directly depend on longevity- these are very expensive premium products (purchased the ‘pro' model) so expectations are likewise high.

I have the open comm. I must say that the open comm noise cancelling boom microphone is better than the open run pro. How ever the open run is more comfortable to wear all day. Than the open comm. Not to say that the open comm is not comfortable cuase it really is. I would definitely recommend either one. I am a truck driver and machine operator. In a noisy work Environment I suggest the open comm and its boom mic. But for all day regular noise environment. Open move works great.
