These are my second pair of Shokz, and I primarily use them cycling. The last pair I could hear even with wind noise in my ears - these I cannot hear at all even with the smallest amount of ambient noise, and I have not figured out why. Might be returning for a replacement pair.

I actually quite enjoyed these headphones and I loved the idea of them! I have bad ears (chronic ear infections and therefore irritability with traditional headphones). These freaking crushed it though! It is so fun because nobody can hear them besides you unless maybe they’re really close to you (I.e. hugging). My only issue is that I like to use headphones while studying which means I needed my glasses on. That ended up being annoying as I felt I was stretching the frame of my glasses out so ultimately I returned them. If I ever go to contacts though I would purchase again!

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.

This headset allows me to hear the world around me, while still listening to music, and hearing my phone notifications. This is my 4th set. I wear and use it everyday, including using it for ambient music while I sleep, without hindering my ability to hear anything that happens in my house, while also not interrupting or bothering anyone else's peaceful sleep.

I have owned about 4+ Open run Shokz. They all broke within 3 months. I just kept buying new ones because I really liked them. I now own a OpenRun Pro, and it has not broken yet. I use it every day. I hope that, It too does not break. if it does break soon I will buy another one to replace it.

After a long run the pressure from the buds on the side of my head gives me a headache. And at times I would like to block out the outside sounds. I guess I prefer wearing regular ear buds and having the option of not pushing them in very far to hear car’s and such when needed.

Coming from the Aeropex Open-Ear Endurance, I was led to believe the bass on the OpenRun Pro would be noticeably better; it isn't. Actually, I am seeing that the Aeropex headsets sound better overall still after using both side-by-side for a month now. Other than sound, they're the exact same as one another, so I do not see the pull to upgrade if you own the Aeropex's already.

I have the open comm. I must say that the open comm noise cancelling boom microphone is better than the open run pro. How ever the open run is more comfortable to wear all day. Than the open comm. Not to say that the open comm is not comfortable cuase it really is. I would definitely recommend either one. I am a truck driver and machine operator. In a noisy work Environment I suggest the open comm and its boom mic. But for all day regular noise environment. Open move works great.

I'm a long distance runner and I enjoy listening to podcasts as I run, recently my old headphones died so I was advised to go for a pair of Shokz. In the shop they sounded great, nice and clear and really comfortable. But unfortunately when I took to the roads it was a different story. I couldn't hear anything over traffic going by, and I mean nothing. When I got off the roads and onto the trails it didn't get much better sadly. The breeze (not wind) also reduced the audio quality massively. So I'm afraid I had to return my pair and go for an alternative brand. I can see how these headphones would work in calmer conditions, but they are just not good for the windswept Wicklow hills in Ireland. Maybe as the technology develops they will improve but for me for now it's a strong pass for now.

These are my 3rd pair of Shokz, the opencomm were great everyone could hear me wherever I was, the OpenRun is what I went to after those which I loved and still have but the day these came out I put my order in and have not regretted it one bit! The shipping was fast the audio is second to none period!
