Perfect for when you want to listen to your own thing but still be able to engage in the world around you. I use my head set while supervising kids, to fall asleep while listening, and when driving my older car without Bluetooth connectivity. I like knowing that i can still hear everything going on around me while no one else can hear what I’m listening to, and the headset is so light weight it’s easy to forget I’m wearing it.

Very pleased with this purchase. Measured and went with the mini. Fit is great. Comfortable and quality sound. Much more secure than the AirPods Pro. I wanted to go open ear to hear my surroundings and I was concerned around a ringing in my ears that's developed; likely because of constant headset use - AirPods Pro while exercising and then in-ear headset at work. So, I decided to switch to Shokz for exercise (OpenRun Pro) and work (OpenComm UC). My only issue has been pairing where it's hard to get my OpenRun Pro to disconnect from a paired device to switch to another. I end up having to turn them off and back on. There could be an easier way I just don't know it. Also, as expected, you have to up the volume to hear when you have lots of surrounding noise. I worry a little about the higher volumes. Noise cancellation on Air Pods was good for that, but I'll live with the irritation of not hearing my podcase for a few seconds if the ringing in my ears improves.

I love the extra run time over my old set. The sound quality is great. I like the smaller size because it fits my head better. The new charging port is easier to use, but I am concerned that the proprietary cable may be expensive to replace should I loose or damage the one that came with the headset.

My first headset: Aeropex I have found excellent, so it is hard to believe but the OpenRun model is even better. Comfort and sound quality have both in fact improved with the added benefit of connecting both iphone and ipad simultaneously, I could not be happier. Would highly recommend.

I love these, they are my second pair. (First pair lasted for five or six solid years before I accidentally broke them). I simply do not like the feeling of being “locked out” of the world just because I have my music on. The sound is awesome and clear, however, if a truck is headed your way, you are aware of it. Super comfortable, too.

I’ve been wearing aftershokz/shokz since 2019. These headphones suit me well. I love that they do not go in the ear. Sound quality is great. Shokz Does not add the foam plugs anymore however, if you add foam earplugs, you automatically have noise canceling😁. My only suggestion is that add an extra battery on the other ear to make them last super long!

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.

Way better than I expected. I usually wear my AirPods but heard so many good things about these that I had to try them. I do a lot of running alone or pushing a stroller so these are THE best headphones for me! I hear my podcast perfectly but also my surrounds so I stay aware! The 2 things I worried about were bouncing and my hair getting tangled up in the back, neither of those happen with these so I’m in love!

This product is everything I’ve been looking for in a headset. The price is outweighed by the ease of operation/use, awesome battery life (10+ hours at full volume), and just the right range of bass and volume. I would highly recommend to anyone AND everyone. Well played, Shokz.

The mic seems much better than the 8th gen product; the audio is definitely better than the 7th gen. But the audio is not quite as good as the 8th gen; I find it more garbled on podcasts (yes, I've tried the app to adjust equalization) and sometimes I get "bouncing" (despite having the larger size). Overall, I'd say it's a great in-between product, but fore pure audio, maybe not as great as the 8th gen.
