I was on the fence about buying these, but I was also tired of having my Earbuds fall out of my ears, and irritating them after a while of being in! Then along came shokz! The sound is better than I expected, even noticed new details in the music I listen to! I use them to help me fall asleep and they don’t bother my ears at all, although I can still hear my spouse snoring, lol! Controls are easy to use as well for pausing and skipping tracks, although the volume buttons are in an odd place in my opinion, but to be honest I usually don’t adjust the volume. I will admit the higher volume kinda bothered my cheek bones due to the heavy vibration, but I honestLy don’t think anyone will need to listen to them that loud. If you do want to be totally immersed in sound, get some earplugs, especially in a setting with a lot of background noise(like a bus or plane). Overall very comfortable to wear, easy to use and great sound!

This is my first time purchasing from you all and I heard of you from Word of Mouth. The headphones have great sound, you can hear things around you pretty well and i really like this product. The only thing i wish was better mic for phone calls. Everyone can hear me just fine, but their audio cuts out so i can not hear what people are saying. Please fix this in the next version of the product. If you are looking to make calls on this product do not purchase.

Works very well can hear on the phone, but many times the caller can not hear me. The voice amplifier does well in quite setting watching TV or just one one communicating, but in an area with a lot of back ground noise it picked up to much of it. I still like it. one more thing is it hurts my ears when wearing for a time.

These are the best headphones a runner could have. They’re safe to run with outside so you hear what you want to listen to on your phone, but can also hear everything surrounding you..people, cars, etc. Very lightweight. I almost forget they’re there after I turn them off.

I run at night and on a road that is moderately high traffic (not as much when I run) and the speed limit is 55 mph, so I need to hear these cars coming. These work great for that and I can still hear my music great. They are very comfortable and easy to use. I haven't tested the battery life yet, but have been great on my shorter runs (longest I've gone so far is just 3.5 miles) and there was still quite a bit of charge left. There isn't a way that I ve noticed to see how much charge is left though. The voice when you turn it on just give a generic "high", "low", etc.

I have the openrun pro. They are excellent and fit comfortably. The ability to leave my ears clear is beneficial for me both in the gym and outside. I was also surprised at the clarity of the sound. It isn't quite as nice/full as in-ear buds, but I have no problems with music. Voices can be hard to hear at times though. In general as well, all sounds are kind of quiet and I have to have the volume higher than I would like or have used on any other headphones.

I loved my Aeropex, but felt like in loud environments whatever I was listening to really got drowned out. With the new openrun pros I feel like I still get the feedback from the sounds around me but they aren't overpowering the music anymore. Battery life is also better and aside from being louder the sound quality is also a lot crisper. Great product all around!

This is my second pair of shokz, I got my first pair years ago when they were still called after shokz…. I lost them in travel somewhere and I was extremely bummed out about it BUT when my new ones arrived they are so much better!! Thank you shokz for everything you guys do! I’m definitely a life long fan that’s for sure

I love these. I got a pair for my wife a year ago and since have wanted some myself. They are comfortable, secure, discreet and have the best charge time to battery life I have seen in any product. The connected app is useful too and offers an easy way to register your product and use the 2 EQ settings. If I had to criticize something I could only say that I wish there was a wider range of EQ setting or more diverse eq control as the sound quality can lack bass and that’s why I can’t say 5 star. But overall though these are exactly what I needed as they sit outside of the ear and allow me to hear my surroundings.

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.
