my thrid paid of bone conducting ear phones; had had several other iterations for AfterShokz; these are a little lighter and perhaps a little more comfortable than some of the others battery life is not as good as the Areopex or titanium; not sure it's worth the additional cost buti like them well enough

Sound quality is acceptable, but nowhere near the quality of over the ear headphones or earbuds. The volume capacity is useless for noisy areas like gyms or workout rooms. The sound (music, TV, etc.) gets drowned out by a simple fan, the rollers of a bike trainer, or overhead music. The main pro for these headphones is the ability to hear traffic and noise clearly when riding outside on a road bike.

To be frankly honest I wouldn’t advise or recommend anyone to purchase the openrun pro. For starters it’s not as easy to replay a previous song. Not a big fan on the magnetic charger due to metal shavings getting stuck into it. For some reason I hear a bit of rattling when listening to music. Product advertises 10 hrs of runtime and they don’t even remotely make it to 6 hrs. Quality is decently built.

nits .... The charging cable attachment was better on the older Aeropex model. Maybe my reaction is because it attaches in the opposite direction The older Aeropex model felt better to the touch. Were the different material chosen because they improved the sound? I hope so. user-friendly... it's bluetooth praise ... I can't believe the sound of the older Aeropex model could be substancially improved. The OpenRun Pro is definitely plays LOUDER, with DEEPer bass and sounds MORE detailed. AMAZING !!!! Also, "mini" fits !!!

Used them three times after purchasing and they worked fine, battery life was shorter than advertised though. I got busy at work and didn’t use them for 2 months, I take them out of the case and they will not take a charge or power on at all. Waste of money.

I buy them mostly for calls and they sound great and the people hear me great too. But my head is apparently too small and they are sadly kind of big for me. The band is like 1 inch away from my head and is moving up and down if I wearing a bulky jacket for example.

Thanks to sales team at Sea Otter Classic 2022. Never liked wearing headphones because I like to hear cars coming from behind and people on the trails while riding my bike. Shelby (team member)had me sold. Works well tested while riding and I could hear people and still enjoy music especially on the long up hill grinds.

I should get paid for how many on the Shokz I've talked coworkers into buying. This is personally my 3rd set. I bought these because I was super curious to how they could improve bass with bone conduction but the physics didn't make sense to me. I got them, tried them, and heard really no difference between these and my OpenRuns except these seem louder when they're off your head but quieter on my head. All in all, huge fan of Shokz but I'd stick with the OpenRuns. Also, if their R&D department sees this, reach out because I have lots of ideas for these.

Really great concept for those who can put things in their ears. I have both daiths pierced and ear buds don't always fit. These make listening really easy. I have the "mini" but I feel like they could be even smaller. I also feel like I have to turn the volume up pretty loud in louder environments and then others can hear the sound- which isn't the case with in ear head phones. But again, maybe because the band is big, they don't sit in the correct spot to work correctly for me? I mainly got them for bike rides, I haven't had a chance to use them on a ride, but I feel like they will be great with a helmet and not worrying about them falling out of my ears.

These headphones are amazing but they fall short on at least two counts. First, do not expect a replacement for your Apple AirPods. You have to remind your phone every time that they are connected when you get a phone call. Expect a moment of having to change from your phone to shokz before saying hello to a call. Also, if you take them off, they will stay connected and you’ll get calls and not know it. If they worked a bit more intelligently like AirPods, they would earn another star. Second, and most importantly, do not buy if you’re expecting the same sound experience as your favorite headphones. The bone conduction tech is sweet and the surround sound sensation is neat. It’s like the sound is in your head, which I like. BUT, and BIG BUT, they are not loud enough! I can barely hear them over normal day to day household noise at max volume, say nothing for how useless they are in the car if you have a window open, hvac blowing or have a loud car. Bought mine to use at work so that I can be OSHA compliant, but they are very quiet. Unfortunately I’m on the fence to return them or not. I completely love them otherwise! They are definitely more comfortable for longer periods than earbuds.
