Pros: very comfortable, even when running with sunglasses on ... no "in-ear fatigue" that I get from wearing airpods for long periods of time Cons: sound quality is quite a bit lower than even low-quality "normal" headphones and is very impacted by outside sound. That means that, outside of running, I don't really like using these headphones. WHILE RUNNING, I find them to be quite good - though standard airpods have better sound, the Shokz headset is less susceptible to wind noise and therefore makes it overall about the same quality "net net"

I’ve had the original AfterShockz, the Airs and now these. Each has been an improvement on the last. These are lightweight and the sound quality is great. I love wearing these at work, which is possible since they’re open ear. I can hear my music and podcasts over the machinery at work. Thanks.

I use these to play quiet music while at work to help control my severe migraines so I can think clearly while working long strenuous days. They work wonders for hearing your music or other audio while still hearing everything around you for interactions, safety, and awareness. My biggest use for them is by far is for migraine relief, and they are amazing for it!

This headset is amazing, and since buying my first set 6 months ago, I’ve bought 4 more of them as gifts for my family members. They all love this headset too. The sound is clear, the noise bleed is extremely minimal, and unless you’re an audiophile, the quality is great. They also solve a unique problem for me; I have hearing aids so I can’t wear ear buds, and for many other reasons I can’t wear over the ear headphones. Bone conduction technology allows me to have a suitable headset and be compatible with my hearing devices. The reason I say “almost perfect”, and such can’t give a full 5 stars, is the charger is a non standard plug. Shokz’s other head sets use usb, why can’t these? This is problematic for me in multiple ways; can’t share charger cords with all my other devices, have to spend more for the convenience of charging it at home, in my car, and at work (I travel a lot and its one more thing to worry about), the cord is pretty short, and finally, non standard cords mean more electronic waste in landfills. Not great. Please Shokz, change future versions to use standard cords!

Got these as a gift from my wife and I must say they are better then I expected. Comfort level is really good, of course so they can be worn much longer than in ear headphones. I tried the full size Pro's after and there was a noticable difference in the audio but depending on preference, I like the minis. If you turn up the headphones all the way up the bone conduction starts to distort a little. I would recommend these for runners/bikers or anyone who wants sound but still be well aware of their surroundings.

I love how they dont go in your ear and you can hear people talk to you. I wear at work and they last all day. They are comfortable, I hardly know I have them on. Ear buds I was always afraid if losing them if riding a bike or bending over. Not with these, I am safe. These are the best Ive ever had.

I am deaf to the point that I have to wear hearing aids. This works, as well as my hearing aids for television. Unfortunately, the volume seems limited on some programs, so I can’t get enough volume out of my headphones. My only improvement that I could recommend is to increase both volume and clarity of the units.

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.

These are great headphones. The only problem I have is when I talk on the phone. And I am driving g sometimes it is hard to hear the other person. I have tried changing to vocal in the app and most of the time it doesn't help. But beside that one flaw I love these headphones.

This is my 3rd pair. The only reason I have replaced is lost and braking the last pair. I have had ear wax problems for 30years, and these are the only alternatives for me. Great sound, can still hear what is going on around me, and very comfortable. And did I mention, GREAT Sound.!!!!!
