Have had these when they were aftershokz. They were amazing. Have bought more than 5 pairs as gifts for most of my family members! I also wore my aftershokz everyday religiously. Was so excited when the new model came out. However, Everytime I use them on a phone call it will start out fine, then I cannot hear the person on the line. They can hear everything I am saying. Happens every phone call. These are the worst headphones ever! Ended up setting these headphones aside, and using my old aftershokz that work great and have since the first day I bought them.

I so wanted to be free from putting earbuds in my ear, so I had high hopes. But I'm petite enough that even the size small were too big, and uncomfortable with my hair worn down over them. Possibly the pair I had were malfunctioning, but I would hear an occasional "bzzip" sound. Lastly, while I think I have strong hearing, I would turn these all the way up and still struggle to hear over auto sounds. I hope a smaller pair will eventually be released and that a snugger fit will improve the sound quality, or that the band could be adjustable depending on hair styles? I wish the new earbuds were bone conducting, then the size of the band wouldn't matter.

I have owned Shokz/AeroShokz headphones for a long time, upgrading as they become available. I have had the Pro version for over a year now and jumped on the Mini as soon as they came out. I can now wear winter hats comfortably! I appreciate the ease of use, the sound, the battery life, and most important the ability to hear my surrounding environment as I listen.

Not sure what is going on. This is my third pair. They paired right away but for some reason, they were not working with my phone I heard the phone ring people picked up but were not able to hear me. Cut them off and paired them several times. Will be sending back hopefully to get a new pair sent back. I liked my others just hope I can get this resolved quickly.

So Ive actually had these headphones for 2 years, but after recent events I had to go back to write a review. I misplaced my headphones last summer, and recently found them BURIED IN MY GARDEN. Better yet, they still work perfectly, having survived through dirt, rain, snow etc of a Canadian winter - Im talking -35C I have sensory issues and really like that these dont cut ambient noise, it sounds like theres a speaker playing in the room, but I can still hear people talking to me etc. Perfect for work, exercise, walking my dog, anything. I dont love things inside my ears but over ear headphones get too hot/uncomfortable, so these bone conduction style is perfect and stay on comfortably all day. Not top notch sound quality so likely not for true audiophiles but are incredibly functional for day to day casual use

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.

Absolutely transformed my training, the audio is super crisp and very true sound quality. The build of the headphones is amazing as well, I’m not concerned about them being damaged while riding. My only gripe is a small one and that’s that the button to pause/skip is a little small and hard to push twice to skip while I have gloves on, minor inconvenience at that

The headphones are fantastic. I will never buy another brand. Shokz is the only brand for me. They are very comfortable. It. Like they aren't there unless you need them. I will buy my kids a pair. I have been telling everyone I know. They are awesome.

I only give this three stars because although it has its practical use of being able to listen through the headphones while also being able to hear what's going on around you. However, you cannot turn the volume up past a certain medium/low level because any louder causes an annoying vibration against the contact area next to your ear. Listening to talking such as a podcast or your navigation is great, but you cannot enjoy music. I would recommend sticking to in ear buds if that is why you want earphones.

I have 5 pairs of shocks, 1 open run pro mini, 2 aeropex mini's, 2 open swim and I also have most of my coworkers purchasing their own for work. Will I continue buying these... Yes. The Open run pro's tho have one flaw and thats the heavy feel of hard plastic on the temple, where the aeropex have more of a soft texture plastic or rubber over lay, I don't know but there is a difference and if the open run pro's had that softer temple feel and slightly shorter. I recommended making open swim mini's and yeah well 4 stars because it definitely is worth buying if you've never had a pair.
