First off- these are very very comfortable- extremely light weight and yet with good retention. The sound quality is good- with better than average bass response. All that being said, they are *quiet*- if you listen primarily to audiobooks or podcasts at low decibels, it will be difficult to make them out. This is a function of the form-factor- they are very much open ear for the sake of situational awareness. Just be aware that certain kinds of sound media will work better than others, especially in the presence of ambient noise. The more bass you have in the media, the clearer the sound will be. Battery life is good- lasting about 2 days of moderate use. Pleased so far- but will be following up based on lifetime use, namely: how long until the batteries start to lose charge? These do have a finite lifespan, with no way to replace the onboard lithiums with fresh ones. That is my other point of contention: these are disposable- they will not last and absolutely have a finite lifespan. I wish they would make ones with replaceable batteries, or have a program that lets you mail them in to get fresh ones installed. Making items that last is preferable to generating more ewaste for the landfills, but adds more complexity to design. Whether or not I purchase more pairs of these in the future will directly depend on longevity- these are very expensive premium products (purchased the ‘pro’ model) so expectations are likewise high.

OPENRUN PRO - These sound and fit fabulous. Very impressed with the sound and build quality. I'm excited to start using them on my runs. Definitely need to have the added benefit of awareness of surrounding whether on a trail, urban area, and even a treadmill at the gym.

These are the best! I like how comfortable they are, I leave them on all day. I pair them to my phone and pc. So even though I am in a crowded office I can immediately go into a meeting without bothering everyone or do a quick phone call. I can easily move back and forth between a personal conversation and a private discussion. In addition to that I don't need to worry about them getting wet or sweaty. They are perfect.

Got the minis, and still have space- but great fit and comfortable! Bought these per multiple friends recommendations as a newbie to running, so far so good. Easy to hear traffic and other pedestrians while running outside, also conveniently easy to listen to an audiobook and still hear my kids!

These are the Open Run Pro, to be clear. Sound quality is awesome. However, this is not at all what I would consider to be 'bone conduction'. These have 4 speakers on them, 2 on each side. They make no contact whatsoever to bone. The speakers are on the piece that is in front of the ears. Again, great sound but that is NOT bone conduction. That is purely speakers. If I cover those with my finger, sound us muffled. Fit is good, sound is good, quality is good, just not what it said to be, says bone conduction and that's what I expected, if I wanted speakers I could have bought speakers. Disappointed for sure!

Love that I can hear what’s going on around me while listening to music while I work out. Love that I can listen to the TV and not bother my wife while she is sleeping, but if she wakes up and needs something I can hear her. Love that when I go to sleep I can wear my OpenRun Pro’s and listen to my self hypnosis app Aura yet can hear what’s going on in the house at night. Love that I can do my strech routine in the morning and wear my OpenRun Pro’s and hear what’s going on in the house. Love My Shokz!!!

Connecting to new calls has been sporadic at best with my iPhone 12. Its a gamble if someone can hear me or not. Switching from phone to headset using the bluetooth button on the phone usually doesn't transfer to the headset mic and the other end cant hear me. Im not sure why Shokz hasnt recessed or made the call button flush so that inadvertent hangups don't happen with a slight bump. Sound quality is excellent! This is my 4th set due to dog loving the flavor and chew.

Is everything sounds fine. Don't turn them up too loud. Even when my phone says I'm in a good listening range.... when the base starts to get fuzzy, it kind of makes you wonder if you're doing any damage to your ears period so, to be safe, I just like to use it at as low a level as possible. This product is easy to use and easy to get used to and quick to charge.

I got the Open Run Pros after thinking about buying AfterShokz/Shokz products for years. 100% worth the full MSRP. Great quality, battery life, and ergonomics. My ONLY gripe is that I injured my left ear due to infections from allergies and because of the permanent damage, the left audio sounds a lot duller than my right (because of my ears, not the product): I just wish there was a way to permanently set the left volume higher than right. I can do it manually on my Mac OS, but it resets every time I turn off/on the headset.

I bought these because I wanted an upgrade from my original pair (my bf has them now and he loves them). The older ones would get uncomfortable around the ears after several hours. I completely forget I'm wearing these at all. I wear them all day, literally, and never feel a thing. Still plenty of battery power at the end of a 12 hr day too. Really glad I upgraded!
