I am very impressed with the Shokz system. I use my OPENRUN PROs almost everyday and for at least a few hours each time. I am in meetings for work a good percentage of the week. The OPENRUN PRO offers me a convent way to stay in the conversation without being stuck in front of my laptop. The sound quality is more than adequate for voice conversation. Connecting to bluetooth devices is super simple and quick. When not in meetings I am able listen to videos and music without missing a call from my wife or a knock at the door. The audio quality is impressive for this type of listening. It was odd at first, not getting any spacial feedback from sound traveling through a given volume of space. Once I got used to that I really appreciate the experience and the conveniences it offers me. In truth it is that convenience factor that is the selling point for me. Honestly I can say I have forgotten I've had them on, simply remarkable. If I want to listen to music with full audio range I would use a set of loud speakers or a pair of over the ear headphones. In that case I am dedicated to that one experience and wouldn't want to make myself available in the way the OPENRUN PRO offers. When listening to music, I would describe the OPENRUN PRO's audio as thin compared to a set load speakers or over the ear headphones. The audio frequency range might be available but the actual force behind the sound doesn't contain the same punch and depth. Honestly, I would never consider the two listening options to be comparable. Can the most current Recording Techniques and HiFi Playback Systems ever replace a live experience? No and Never. Audio Quality : Very Good Build Quality : Excellent Battery Life : Excellent Experience of Use : Very Good Connection Options : Very Good When using the App - I DO WISH there was a way to toggle between bluetooth devices rather than be `listening` to all of them at the same. Also, more importantly I would appreciate having the ability to adjust the settings for each BT Device separately. So for instance, the option for the multifunction button to toggle the mic on/off when connected to my work laptop and play/pause when connected to my personal computer. I would rate the Connection and Convenience features as Excellent if these settings were available. All the Best Vibes to you and your inner ears :)

I haven’t tested it by wearing it all day, but two hours is no problem. I can better answer that when I’m on a long flight. The sound is good… Excellent… And I feel like I’m doing less damage to my ears. And of course there is the safety, even walking down the street and hearing a car before you turn your head. I recommend them to people, some are afraid of an ear bud falling out, and a person who was hearing impaired… Who is interested because she could possibly wear Shokz with hearing aids in. If this works, it may not be a major marketing demographic, but to do something for the hearing impaired… Would be a nice thing, and only improve your reputation.

These are the best open ear headphones I have had, but they still suffer from the same things they all do. If you wear glasses, they are uncomfortable and flare your ears out. Also, in loud environment, you cannot take a call because you can't hear the call.

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!

I have dexterity problems and can't easily put headphones in, these are so easy for me to put on/take off. I have worn these all day, every day for 2 months now and it's never bothered me like headphones did. I can listen to music all day and take a few phone calls and I usually have 80% battery life by the end of the day. I usually don't write reviews but these are worth it. Only suggestion I have would be optional clip on sound deflectors that help channel sound from the units to the ear as sometimes in noisy environments I have to cup my hands over my ears to hear the caller clearly but even with that these far surpass anything else I've used

I was a bit skeptical because I'd tried a cheap knock-off brand of bone conductiong headphones and didn't care for them at all. Still, I kept hearing rave reviews from other runners about Choks and when they had a sale,I took the plunge. I ordered the Open Run Pro Mini and crossed my fingers they were as good as I'd hoped. Shoks are comfortable, unintrusive, fit perfectly against the side of your face, don't slip off when you sweat, they are lightweight, the buttons are easy to use and understand, even mid-run. When NOT actively excercising, like say, listening to an audio book while doing chores, I do notice them a bit more, but they aren't uncomfortable at all. Amazingly, You really CAN hear everything around you as well as whatever you are playing. It's not weird or strange and the only way they vibrate against your skin is if you crank them up to full blast and play something with a lot of bass. I'm totally sold! The only small downsides are I can't wear them in bed because of the design (haven't tried flipping them around) and getting them to connect to the 'correct' device when I['m using more than one is a bit fiddly. both of those downsides are the same as ANY set of listening devices, so It's not even a bad thing, just a minor annoyance.

I've been using two different sets of Shokz headsets over the last 1.5 years. I had the Aftershokz first which were great for mountain biking/road biking. I streamed via Bluetooth from my Apple Watch 6 to my headset. I then upgraded to the Open Run Pro which also worked great; difference between the two was marginal but both were great for allowing you to have a good feel for your surroundings while listening to tunes. I then upgraded my Apple Watch to the new Ultra which came out in July(ish) of 22. Big mistake. It turns out that Apple is using a next gen of Bluetooth called 5.3. You would think that this would be backwards compatible but not so. My Ultra constantly cuts out the music to where it is unlistenable. The OpenRun Pro uses BT 5.1. While Shokz has responded to my inquiries, there is no timetable for if/when they might update firmware to be compatible. Since the only reason I bought the Shokz headsets was for cycling, they are paper weights for me at this point. Hoping to receive news of an update sometime soon but not holding my breath.

I really enjoy my mini shokz pro. As a hearing impaired person, I wear hearing aids that are not blue tooth capable . my open run allows me to be more aware of sounds around me while enjoying great sounding music and audio books, which provides me a more safe experience. I am, however, having a problem when receiving a phone call or text, it does not come through on my open run pro! Whe I make the call, no problem! I hear clearly. Perhaps I’m not using it correctly????

The openrun pro is great! It allows me to hear what’s happening around me which is useful when walking the nearby trails. The only draw back for me is walking where there is a lot of traffic it makes it difficult to hear whatever I’m listening to because it’s drowned out by the road noise.

So much better than airpods or bose! I’ve been using these for my runs which are about 1 hour long 3 times a week and have not had to charge them for 2 weeks so I’m impressed! They are very comfortable, don’t bounce, great sound, and I can hear the surrounding noise perfectly well for safety. Recommended these to all my friends! Would prefer volume button positions to be reversed though.
