I struggled with earbuds that wanted to fall out of my ears during workouts for at least a year. And no matter how good the "transparency" mode was it was never good enough to allow me to hear what was happening around me while listening to music. I've been wearing the Shokz OpenRun Pro for a few weeks now, at work and during workouts, and I love them. A couple of thoughts on the experience; Music doesn't sound quite as good as an in-ear headphone can. The audio quality did surprise me however and I don't find this to be a drawback in any way. I am not able to carry on a conversation with someone with music on at high volume, which is to be expected. I can however hear when someone is trying to get my attention or something is happening in the world near by and turn down or pause my music to give whatever that is my full attention. The battery life is excellent and the headset is comfortable enough to forget I'm wearing it. All in all, I wish I had purchased these a long time ago.

I had a previous model of these headphones, and when they finally bit the dust I purchased these. The sound quality and the microphone quality is noticeably improved. Plus, these are sleeker and decidedly more comfortable to wear with glasses. Overall, and excellent upgrade!

I owned a pair of the now discontinued Trex Air’s before these. The Open Run’s seem to perform about the same with the two big distances being a magnetic charge port and a redesigned left button. I think most people will like the charge port better. However, I use these in a shop environment so the charger tends to collect metal shavings. Hopefully it has some sort of circuit protection built in. As far as the button goes, time will tell, but it feels like it’s going to wear out quickly. If you don’t push it square in the middle, it hangs up a little bit and makes a clicking sound. Keep in mind that you can’t see this button when you’re trying to push it.

This headset has been amazing. Easy to pair, use, and sound has been perfect for meetings that run all day. Much more comfortable than headsets that are over the ear. Definitely recommend for those who get frustrated with sweaty ears when using over the ear headsets.

I would give it 5 stars but these are the first ear buds I have used for running, so I do not have anything to compare them to. But with that being said, I have heard from other people about people using the AirPods and similar devices and that they lose them while they are out in a run. You cannot lose the OpenRun Pros, and I do not even know that I am wearing them. I like the fact that I can hear things around me while I am running, which is a big safety concern for me. Thank you, SCHOKZ!

The ability to use my headphones while remaining in contact with my environment has revolutionized my outdoor activities. The ability to safely listen to music and podcasts while cycling has made the activity much more enjoyable. Ease of control with volume buttons and the ability to pause audio or skip songs with a single button makes operation unbelievably convenient. My only suggestion for improvement would be improving sound volume in high wind situations such as cycling downhill.

They would be good for some people but for me I work in an extremely loud environment so hearing people or music is difficult. Other than that they seem good. Long lasting battery. Great noise canceling ability. But I’m old and probably half deaf so I just can’t hear most of the time

The Mini size is great for me! Setup as usual was easy! The sound difference between the Pro and my plain OpenRun is appreciable; the quality of the Pro allows me to listen at a lower volume while running, but enjoy better quality sound. Wish the Pro Mini came in as many colors as the regular Pro.

I bought a pair of openrun pro one week ago. The best thing ever! I love them! Father of three and now able to listen to stuff without being distant and not hearing what’s happening. Awesome! But I have to find something negative. Not much but something. The “connect” and play/pause/answering notification sound, the beep, is way to loud. And not controlled by the other volume. Think that something to look at. Fantastic when working out. Running in the forest with a dog and able to hear all that happening around you. Thanks!!!

I wasn’t sure how good the sound quality would be as I had read both good and bad reviews for this type of device. I must admit, I was surprised at sound quality for both vocal and music. If you are on the fence, go ahead and make the purchase, you won’t be disappointed especially if you want something that you’ll forget you are wearing they are so light!
