First purchased Open Run....worked great for first year...then started losing connection while at work consistantly....So I purchased Open Run Pro, hoping to have connection improvement...having same issues right out of the box...this issue occur with my Iphone and Samsung

First pair we bought was like 8 years ago at a RunDisney expo. We now have like 6 pairs. For home, exercise and older ones for like yard work and such. Love the fact that they have great sound but you can still hear the world around you. It’s also great not to have your ears hurt and collect dripping sweat (I know gross)

Fantastic, they stay put and function as advertised. I can turn the volume on full if I want to drown out other people but then the head set tends to vibrate. I use them biking and indoor climbing. I can hear cars approaching without interrupting my music. I wear them at work and can talk to my colleagues without them knowing I’m listening to music at the same time, to be polite I’ll tell them that I’m turning off my music while and they are surprised that I had music playing and yet was able to carry on a conversation. I can’t wear buds they are totally uncomfortable. At home I have over the ear headphones that are noise reduction and extremely comfortable

A better partner app would be helpful. Watching videos, there is a noticeable lag between the audio and video, and alternative Bluetooth settings (android) doesn't fix it. Working with the Google Assistant, the microphone doesn't pick up all the words, and consistently messes up searches and commands, i.e "Call mom", "What's the forecast" and the such Audio quality is good, better than I anticipated, and feels comparable to conventional in ear headphones. The bass/treble is definitely more pronounced, but I would love an option to play with the EQ. Would recommend if you have hearing aids or need awareness of your surroundings, but I'd rather have purchased something less experimental in nature.

Light and comfortable, I sometimes forget I have them on. Decent battery life. Music audio is good, not great, but listening to You Tube or podcasts, it's like the sound is just in my head. The best feature is hearing sound around me, like my wife talking to me!

Hi All, I had a previous pair of shokz and they were terrific. They broke after 2 years and I bought this new pair. The sound is much more garbled when I am in an even bit noisy place. I am curious if the newer ones are better and can I trade up? Thanks Bob

I've really enjoyed my Shokz OpenRun Pros thus far. They fit perfectly and stay in place during running and cycling, they connect seamlessly to my Google Pixel 6, call quality is clear. Two downsides are that even at max volume, I often cannot hear the podcasts or audiobooks I listen to while riding any speed over 15 mph on my bike (which is most of the time). This isn't a complete dealbreaker for me because the only other safe(r) alternative out there are those earbuds that have sound passthrough technologies, but I don't like earbuds that seal off my ear canal, so I'm left with these. Audio quality for music is also not wonderful compared with headphones or most earbuds, but I mostly listen to spoken word stuff, so that isn't a dealbreaker, either.

Love these. So nice to not have pressure in my ears, to be able to hear the world around me, especially on a run- I fell safer. And the sound quality is fantastic. My only complaint is that the mini’s are a little big for my tiny head. They bounce when I run. I would recommend them to anyone.

I purchased this and the gen prior to this and they are frankly the best headphones I have. I love the open ear concept for both safety and general awareness. I have Bose and yes, the sound quality is excellent on those, but the convenience, quality, awareness, comfort, and battery life on these make them my first choice.

I feel like even the minis are too big. I wear a ponytail and the back feels more stabilized. An unexpected benefit wearing them in the nature center and hearing all the sounds. My other headphones are large over the ear and I could never wear them in there.
