The headset is fantastic. This is my second set, my first was lost during a work related incident. I have recommended these to coworkers and family and they have bought there own. This model the battery life is not near the 10 hours, as listed. I can get maybe 2 hours of use in a day. The quick recharge helps some during a day, but I have remember to bring the charger cord with my when I leave home.

I have been a big fan of Apple AirPods but over time these in ear buds started to irritate my outter ears. It was time for a change and the bulky over the ear headphones were not for me. After some online research I found Shokz and let me tell you WOW!!!. I use these to listen to music only and must say I’m very surprised. I’m not saying these sound like your in a concert venue, but pretty darn close. The sound is crisp and clear with some pretty decent base. Comfort is great with absolutely no irritation of my ears. Thanks Shokz. You now have a new customer.

Similar to another review I read before purchase, in louder environments you need the volume cranked up all the way but the Shokz will badly distort and force you to lower the volume to a level so they wont distort deeming them useless. They work great in quiet environments but for snowboarding, driving and crowds forget about it.

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!

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.

I loved my Aeropex, but felt like in loud environments whatever I was listening to really got drowned out. With the new openrun pros I feel like I still get the feedback from the sounds around me but they aren't overpowering the music anymore. Battery life is also better and aside from being louder the sound quality is also a lot crisper. Great product all around!

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.

Everything with these is awesome; sound, connectability, easy to function even with gloves on. The only thing I dislike about them is that they're not more form-fitting. They stay on no matter the activity I'm doing (work, gym, skiing, dog running, etc), but they stick out from the back of my head way more than I like. I don't have a small head, though I have noticed that the guys I see wearing them have a better fit. So maybe a ladies' sizing, or better size diversity than just kids and adults? Otherwise, I would (and have!) recommended these to people, especially veterans.

Had no idea these existed until I dropped my AirPods in the toilet on accident. I love that I can hear things going on around me and my favorite thing about them is they don’t sit in my ear. I have small ears and pods always hurt or fall out. They have great sound for calls as I’m in meetings all day. Worth every penny!

I Really enjoy Shokz...this is my fourth pair. However, I do have to say, that somehow the sound quality in this new pair seems quite weak. The volume is very low, and the bass almost does not exist. Compensating with the phone EQ does help, but I expected better for the new GEN.
