I was skeptical of these - I am so excited I decided to try them. Typical earbuds tend to hurt my ears after an hour (even with the smaller tips) so and the Shockz are so comfortable that I forget I am wearing them. The sound and call quality is amazing - 10/10. Being able to wear these at work and still hear people knock on my door and alerts/calls on my computer - while listing to my music or podcasts is awesome - same for the gym. I was so skeptical and thought that everyone around me at the office or gym would be able to hear what was playing - NOPE. These are one of the best things I have bought for myself.

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.

Comfort A Battery A+ Range A+ Sound quality B Wish the fit was a bit adjustable, the multi-function button is a bit wonky, the volume button is a bit hard to find mid run, and the sound quality isn’t amazing. All and all though they are some of the best sources of music for running!

Great headset. They start to distort after a few hours of the high volume. I like my music louder so I guess they weren’t designed for the max volume all of the time. Great to wear while running and cycling. Can’t even tell that they are on my head after a fem minutes of wearing them.

Overall Aftershokz are a great buy! I have had several pair through the years. Each pair lasting about 2 years and I couldn't be happier. I use them for hands free at work, while I workout/run and doing random activities around the house to listen to podcast or music.

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.

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!

These work really well in a quiet environment if the place is noisy they are almost pointless. These are extremely comfortable, I have a large head and they fit great. Sound quality is Good. I love them for the office I can still hear what is happening around me and still listen to my pod cast or music. Battery life is good. I still use my earbuds on planes and in crowded areas. The phone quality is really good people can't tell I am on a Bluetooth device. Overall I do recommend them.

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've been wearing my aftershokz headphones almost Daily since Oct. 2020 Really like the way i can hear cars when riding and conversation with these on. Just have to turn down the volume :) Replaced them right away when they broke:( with the open run YAY!!!
