Better than any traditional in-ear I've tried

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.

2nd Concurrent Pair...

I love my OpenRuns so much (wear them all day long) that I desired a 2nd pair to have around & rotate. My new OpenRun Pros delivers an even better comfort -- I now use my Pros at work and for the typical day, and my older style for workouts. The best kind of headphones I've ever had.

Good for listening in bed

This is my third pair of Shokz, and I went with OpenRun Pro Mini because of the close fit to the back of my head. I like my others for when I'm up and about, but wanted to try the minis. I measured my noggin ear-to-ear around the back, and the fit guide said these would work. They do, and I use them almost every night listening to music as I fall asleep.

+ my main benefit is

+ my main benefit is usage while driving +secondary benefit is usage at work so I still hear boss, coworkers calling me -the headband doesn't keep the headphones in the optimal position -Not the best sound for enjoying rich music, but I knew that beforehand and didn't buy them for a rich musical experience

Great

The sound is really good, my wife likes to wear them around the house and when we go out. The comfort is good, the back loop for the back of the head hangs weird sometimes and her head is a bit bigger than the mini. She upgraded from the regular openfit and loves the battery life on this one as well as how fast it charges. It's one of the best features.

Loved everything about them, expect they gave me headaches.

I have been on the hunt for headphones that feel comfortable, don't come with the "Vacuum" feeling of earbuds, are good quality and still allow me to hear my surroundings. I loved so much about these. I tried both sizes and both felt similar. They were easy to wear and generally comfortable. The sound quality was great, allowing me to hear audio clearly while also allowing me to hear things going on around me. Charging was easy and the case they came with was perfect. My only problem, and what ultimately lead me to return them, was that I got headaches, especially around my ears and jaw where they sat. The headaches would get worse the longer I wore them. I thought it might just be an initial side effect that would go away with use, so I tried them consistently for awhile. Sadly the headaches persisted and I had to return them. Luckily, right at the same time, Shokz released the OpenFit headphones, which I got. I have been using them for two weeks and they have been great! No headaches! So, the OpenRun Pro's didn't work out for me, but I still stand by Shokz.

Run pro

I honestly thought the sound quality would be slightly higher and bass would be heavier after reading the marketing material etc. but the magic is in the light weight and ease of use and I’m happy with my purchase but if I knew the Run Pro's sound was so similar to the previous generation, I would have purchased the previous.

Hearing and Blue Tooth

Works very well can hear on the phone, but many times the caller can not hear me. The voice amplifier does well in quite setting watching TV or just one one communicating, but in an area with a lot of back ground noise it picked up to much of it. I still like it. one more thing is it hurts my ears when wearing for a time.

Astounding

I really needed to change my earbuds due to a change in exercise regime. Of course, all my regular wired earphones were obsoleted when Apple changed to its new connectors, and I picked up a pair of standard earbuds. But darn - they kept on falling out, while I was going 15 mph on my bike! After one was run over, I sought advice on what to change to, and I go the recommendation for SHOKZ. I was doubtful, because I had tried bone conduction early in its development, and was unimpressed with fidelity. But I was blown away by SHOKZ. First off, they were comfortable, and easy to use. There was no risk of falling out of my ears. Second, they sound great. I hear every word of my podcasts, in great fidelity. Third, I feel safer, because I can now clearly hear the world around me. These are great, thank you!

Apple Watch Ultra Compatibility?

I've been using two different sets of Shokz headsets over the last 1.5 years. I had the Aftershokz first which were great for mountain biking/road biking. I streamed via Bluetooth from my Apple Watch 6 to my headset. I then upgraded to the Open Run Pro which also worked great; difference between the two was marginal but both were great for allowing you to have a good feel for your surroundings while listening to tunes. I then upgraded my Apple Watch to the new Ultra which came out in July(ish) of 22. Big mistake. It turns out that Apple is using a next gen of Bluetooth called 5.3. You would think that this would be backwards compatible but not so. My Ultra constantly cuts out the music to where it is unlistenable. The OpenRun Pro uses BT 5.1. While Shokz has responded to my inquiries, there is no timetable for if/when they might update firmware to be compatible. Since the only reason I bought the Shokz headsets was for cycling, they are paper weights for me at this point. Hoping to receive news of an update sometime soon but not holding my breath.
