Coming from wireless earbuds with a charging case has been an adjustment, the only downside to these is having to manually turn off, and not being able to charge in the case. And they can be sometimes too quiet when running in a loud area for a while.

Ngl, was a little skeptical since I had zero experience with these type of headphones but to have the ability to hear outside of the music playing was something that I was very interested in. I bought the newest model, from the reviews I read it just makes sense to start from the top because in most cases of it doesn’t hold up to your expectations, chances are the lesser of its product line wouldn’t either. Music. It plays well, you can hear all the instruments, vocals, nothing is let behind. The bass seems to be the weakest link but understanding it’s whole purpose of its nature, it is acceptable and doesn’t throw the music off or feels inadequate because of the bass. There is definitely room for improvement and from the looks of its history, they are here to improve its quality so that is a huge plus. Outside noise/sounds. Question is, can you hear and understand the sounds outside of the headphones itself? After all that is the whole point of this development. Short answer, yes, yes you can. Your volume with dictate how well can you hear outside of that. Even when you have the volume loud, you can still here noises and voices if they are close to you. Understanding what is being said may not be that easy. Again, if you have it loud enough that you can hear your music over noise you can certainly understand what others are saying to you. If anything you are aware of what is going on and I feel that is the whole point of this style. With over the ears or ear buds you are really isolated from your surroundings and usually needs a tap on the shoulder to get your attention. Ease of use. Right? We don’t want things complicated or have to memorize pages of info to navigate your headset. This is cut and dry and basically does pretty much what you want to do when you working out. Volume/power buttons (only 2) on your right ear, left ear has one button that does 1,2 or 3 clicks and that’s it. You want more, use your phone otherwise you wouldn’t want more than this. Cons. The only thing that really comes to mind aside from what I mentioned earlier is their special usb charging cable. It would be nice if they provided 2 cables, however I do wished the cable itself was a foot longer. You would still be able to fit it in the case easily. Results. Yes Yes Yes! By understand it’s purpose and that is what you are looking for, you will be happy and pleased with these headphones. Easy to put on and take off, comes with a great case and a charging cable, smooth operation, navigation is simple and effective. Battery life is great and the produced sounds are above par. Super happy with these!

Sound is better than expected for open ear. Quality is great. Wish they were 1" larger (snug fit for a big head). Because of the snug fit, not great if wearing for an extended period. Mic quality a little above average based on feedback from callers.

Openrun Pro… Pros: I’ve had several different brands to compare to the Shokz. These have a tighter band around your neck and made better then most, including the Inductivv. However, Inductivv sounds better to me at almost 1/3 cheaper. The battery life of these is way better, I must say. Bluetooth connect is superior as well. Cons: I’ve noticed that the excessive vibration of the speakers, make my ears ring for awhile when I’m not using them. I’ve also had a few headaches which I never get. That’s something the company might want to think about for future litigation. Other brands I’ve owned didn’t do this.

The sound quality is much better than one would expect - brilliant design! However, the volume isn't loud enough to compete with the wind noise while biking (though it was recommended within a couple of cycling forums). I wish these devices had a louder volume level so that the USER could decide what is/isn't too loud. NOTE: Without the wind noise, It might be perfect for jogging.

When I thought Shokz couldn’t get any more perfect- the Minis came out!! The fit of the minis is absolutely perfect for me. They rest comfortably and stay secure. I can wear them with my hair up or down, hat on or off. I feel so much safer running with my Shokz since they allow me to hear the cars, people, and animals that might be approaching. Also, the battery life is great and they charge quickly!

Love the size Love the ease of use Worth the wait Nice upgrade from OpenRun (non-Pro) Range seems not too bad Seems like the same features as previous OpenRun Took a while to ship, ordered at the beginning of November 9, 2022. Didn’t receive till December 5, 2022. I was given email communication on the status (11/24/22) “ We have experienced some system issues but our team is already working on shipping out all online orders as soon as possible”.

I am pretty disappointed with my purchase. I was expecting true Bone conduction, when I in fact these have small speakers in front of your ear. There is virtually no base from this product unless you purchase an aftermarket EQ app. The connection hoop is way too long and gets caught up in every from hats, hoods, to pillows watching your favorite show.

I lost my new Shokz headset so didn’t have the appetite to buy another, more expensive, new one. Instead but a refurbished headset - high model - for much less money. The set came in a package as if it were new and performs just as well. So far I am very satisfied.

This is my second pair. After 3 years I wore out the first and both are great. I just wish you would route the microphone back through the headset so I could ditch my in-ear hearing aids. The bone technology would be much greater than just amplifying to an already damaged eardrum.
