I love my OpenRun Pros - I was able to briefly try a coworkers and was amazed. I ordered mine shortly thereafter. Easy to setup and only took a few hours of use to really become accustomed to the way they work and how they sound. Great sound for something not in my ears. No cords - no hassle. Thank you Shokz!

These are comfortable, lightweight and hold a charge much longer than previous models that I have owned. My one complaint is that they seem to have a delayed bluetooth connection to my phone. Where prior versions instantly connected (i. e. I heard every notification or tone and my voice connection to Siri was instantaneous) this pair only gives me part of the notification and Siri is constantly saying "I'm sorry, I don't understand. " Once the connection is made, though, everything is good. I used these to listen to podcasts, music, scroll TikTok without bothering other people and talking on the phone.

The Open Run Pros have a good enough sound, and a nice batter life. If you are running and have a set playlist and don't plan on skipping any songs, they will be perfect. If you do need to skip, pressing the button on the side is not always responsive, and its hard to tell if it was pressed 1 or 2 times, because it feels like the button sticks. I usually just have to wait a moment to see if the song skips, or if I accidently paused it. Side button needs improvement, or needs to change to use a tap system, like Apple Airpods do.

I was introduced to the Aeropex “After”Shokz last year an fell in love with them. I typically run around 40-50 plus miles a week and I needed something for my longer runs through the rolling back roads I’m on for safety and comfort issues I was having with my AirPod pros. Yes, it hurt a little to lose some sound quality and a mic to take phone calls on these long (10 plus mile) runs, but to feel safe and know when cars and trucks were approaching from behind and to run with more confidence does a lot mentally for these long training runs. Now, the best part was I was able to upgrade to the new Open Run Pros and got the mic and the sound back that I was hoping for. I love love love them and can’t wait for Marathon race days to come this year, being able to have conversations and run with more confidence in these races is going to be great. They fit great, if I forget to throw them on the charger I know I can just throw them on while I’m getting ready for 5-10 before the run and they will last hours! Yes, you still sacrifice a little bit of sound but the safety and being able to talk with friends and not have to take any ear buds out is so much more worth it! Love them, oh and they are built TOUGH! Perfect for the active lifestyle I have adopted in just the last 3 years.

I've had these for several months at this point, and struggle with getting them off my head sometimes because they become tangled in my hair. If you have hair that is too short for a pony tail, but just long enough to be near your ears, beware! I regularly wear my hair in a pony tail just to be able to take these on and off without snagging my hair on the little seam between the bone conduction ear pieces and the little loop that goes above your ear. These are sadly weak, and have only gotten weaker as time had passed. They're still the best bone conduction ones I've found so far.

If your ears are sensitive, as mine are, be very careful. Although the ear-phones feel flexible enough they still squeeze the front part of the ear enough to where your jaw will start to hurt. In my case, I can only wear them for 20 minutes at a time. Sound is good, but they are painful.

I run on the ditch where I live and often times there’s random vehicles that I alwyas want to stay alert for. I’m training for my first half marathon and my first couple of weeks training I never put headphone in, just kept my music playing on my phone. I came across a girl on tiktok who had these headphones and I immediately purchased with no second thought. They make me feel so safe running long distances. Sound quality is great and they are very comfortable. I believe these headphones are every runners must have …

A pricey "nice to have" but worth it. No longer do my earbuds fall out of my ear. Sound is awesome and control of the device is very easy. It's easy to hear people talking / background noise without sacrificing sound quality. I feel safe using while riding a bike, something I avoided with other ear buds. I definitely recommend these.

Great for runs, commuting, hiking, and even working in-office--they stay put, sound great while allowing me to hear things around me, and the ability to skip, play/pause, and adjust volume without touching my phone is great. The only negatives for me are: 1) I live in a very urban area that is often noisy so that even at max volume, I sometimes can't hear what I'm listening to (which is probably intentional to maintain situational awareness) and 2) I have long hair that often gets caught in my OpenRuns (I'll consider OpenFit next)

These are exceptional light, yet stay in place incredibly well. When I go on runs, walks, or riding bikes, with in ear headphones, I just was not aware enough of what was going on around me. With these, I have about 90% awareness. I'm still listening to music, so I'm still a little distracted still. I also love that I can walk around the house, listen to music and still hold a conversation. My wife is not into music as much as I am, and she has grown to appreciate that she doesn't have to yell or touch my shoulder when she needs to get my attention. They charge really fast and the battery life is great. The charging connection is proprietary, and that always bugs me. What I gain in awareness, I do lose in my picky audiophile sound. They do not compare to my in ear Beats, but they fit the function I want them for. I would totally recommend these to everyone trying to be more aware of their surroundings and still filling their ears with music. It will not blow you away with in ear sound, but that is not why I bought them. Great job Shokz!
