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 got these for gravel and MTB riding. I ordered the standard size based on the sized recommendation and the fit was too big for me. The back of the headphones hit my back when I was in the drops or tilted my head back. I had higher expectations for the sounds quality. My Jaybird vistas sound tremendously better, but that is apples vs oranges so I won’t hold this against them too much. The thing that really made me send mine back was that once I was moving at speed the wind noise drowned out the headphones. I could not understand my audiobook at all when I was moving. I message the Shokz team about an exchange for the mini and didn’t her back for 2 days, in which time I just decided to return them. I really wanted to like these, but in the end they were not worth the cost for the performance for me.

This is my 2nd pair of jawbone conducting headphones. I originally went with another company, their headphones were ok, did the job but were uncomfortable to wear for very long, the sound quality was ok but not great, they were functional. However, the OpenRun Pro headphones are everything I wanted in my first pair! The sound is surprisingly high quality, you can hear the full range of sound and the highs, lows, bass, all of it! They are much more comfortable to wear, they don't press on my head as tightly but still stay in place as I workout or do housework. I can still hear my surroundings and and when my family is trying to get my attention, which is up to you if that is a plus. I have had them for a month now and very happy with the purchase!

Excellent quality sound and stay in place on your head through the most rigorous workouts. Highly recommend. Great for casual wear so you have situational awareness in your every day routine and work. 2 things that can't be helped but should be considered; 1. The band that wraps around the head can be annoying while laying down or sitting in high backed chairs, 2. Gyms can be really loud and often have music playing in the background. This can be distracting and take away from your music. I love these on runs, group workouts, crossfit workouts, daily office work, and getting through places like the airport.

I had the open run minis and decided to get the open run pro minis because bthey were supposed to have settings for voice and music. The voice setting wasn’t satisfactory . The fit was different from the minis so now at the same volume level there is buzz feeling in front of my ears. With all of the Shokz they make the back of my ears sore. The positives are very long battery , much longer than my ear buds ,Convenient open ears to hear surroundings, and great for phone calls.

I've used aftershokz for years now. This model doesn't seem to have as good of sound quality like the areopex. Battery life, as always is fantastic and I love being able to hear what is going on around me. They don't bounce on runs and the bright color these come in makes them harder to lose.

These absolutely rocked my world, when I could listen to my music or podcast AND hear every approaching car and the birds singing the vineyards! The sound quality is somewhat muffled, but I will gladly take the tradeoff. Phone quality is superb on both ends.

I use these to play quiet music while at work to help control my severe migraines so I can think clearly while working long strenuous days. They work wonders for hearing your music or other audio while still hearing everything around you for interactions, safety, and awareness. My biggest use for them is by far is for migraine relief, and they are amazing for it!

This headset is amazing, and since buying my first set 6 months ago, I’ve bought 4 more of them as gifts for my family members. They all love this headset too. The sound is clear, the noise bleed is extremely minimal, and unless you’re an audiophile, the quality is great. They also solve a unique problem for me; I have hearing aids so I can’t wear ear buds, and for many other reasons I can’t wear over the ear headphones. Bone conduction technology allows me to have a suitable headset and be compatible with my hearing devices. The reason I say “almost perfect”, and such can’t give a full 5 stars, is the charger is a non standard plug. Shokz’s other head sets use usb, why can’t these? This is problematic for me in multiple ways; can’t share charger cords with all my other devices, have to spend more for the convenience of charging it at home, in my car, and at work (I travel a lot and its one more thing to worry about), the cord is pretty short, and finally, non standard cords mean more electronic waste in landfills. Not great. Please Shokz, change future versions to use standard cords!

I love my Shokz. I carry my Apple Earbuds that were replaced and don't need them anymore :-). I have two items for improvement: 1.Biking over 20 mph there's too much interference from wind/airflow. Can you program the noise cancellation to address wind? 2. The pressure above my ears is too much when I am wearing my glasses. Any suggestions?
