Sounds are conducted to our auditory nerves (Cranial Nerve VIII, or CN VIII) through two conduits: air and bone. Air is the one familiar to most of us - sound waves in the air enter the ear canal. They make the ear drum vibrate, which makes tiny bones in the middle ear vibrate (these tiny bones are not to be confused with bone conduction, described next), which send information to CN III. The other pathway is bone conduction. A vibrating object, say a tuning fork, or the contact surfaces of these headphones, in direct contact with the skull bones, send the vibrations directly to CN VIII. Cranial Nerve VIII then sends the information to the brain's auditory processing center. These bone conduction headphones are fantastic because they induce sound fidelity that is almost as good as ear buds. But since they are not in the ear canal, they are supremely comfortable. I am able to wear them all day, listening to podcasts, making calls, etc, with none of the annoyance and discomfort of ear buds. Is music fidelity equal to my AirPods? Not quite. But I don't use earbuds for music anyway, so it is not a concern. Bottom line: if you like earphones for non-music purposes, or music but are not concerned with the highest possible fidelity, then I highly recommend these for their utility and comfort.

Battery life excellent, last almost 3 days without recharge. Depending on usage. Very lightweight, barely feel any weight. Best sound when using phone. Conversation loud and clear. I’m deaf in one ear. Music sounds ok, needs help. I need help hearing when someone speaks… hint Shokz I am very pleased with my operun. Highly recommended!

Ride my bicycle over 7,000 miles a year. Wanted a product that I did not have inside my ear as being able to pick up car sounds as expeditiously as possible is important to me. Your product delivers the goods! Moreover, the sound quality sets the benchmark for affordable listening devices. Pairing is simple, yes simple. Congratulations on delivering a wonderful product to the marketplace.

I am 82 years old and I love them. I can transfer my house phone to my cell and not miss any calls when I'm in my car. I can walk up to the main road to get my mail and hear everything around me. I never could stand to have button ear phones in my ears. They made my ears hurt and could not hear what was around me.

I purchased these 6 weeks ago. At first I was skeptical but once I got use to fit I am very pleased. Easy to set up on iPhone and they travel very well. Loved listening to music on beach and still able to hear the ocean. I am getting another pair for my wife. Irritated that she has to hold hand up, then take out ear pods to answer a simple question. I let her wear them when on vacation. She didn’t want to give them back. So far two thumbs up from me.

They have a comfortable fit and seem to made of good quality. They are easy to use. I was very disappointed with the sound quality while riding my bike. I would not buy them again based on the sound quality while riding. I would take a refund and regret the purchase.

The open run pro headphones are great. Sometimes I forget I’m wearing them as they are the lightest pair as I have now three sets. Battery life is great. The magnetic lock is excellent method of connecting. The sound is awesome though I’m still learning. I recommend strongly to purchase. As I have purchased five(5) headsets as gifts to my friends. I Will only listen now with Shokz headphones as no others compare.

So I decided to upgrade my Trekz Titaniums with the new Openrun Pros. So they are 100% more comfortable and sleeker. However, they spund like dog sh!+ compared to my old Titaniums! Im sitting here in complete disbelief of how muffled and quiet the openrun pros are! I cant believe that there is absolutely no way im keeping them. Oh well. I guess I'm Staying with the old and beloved Titaniums

The sound is great, and I really love how the charger works. These headphones are so easy to charge and use and are my go-to for listening to my audio books and music. I have to use an open headphone, as I wear a hearing aid in my left ear and I can’t put any kind of ear bud in my ear.

I work in an office that requires me to be aware of conversations around me, so I usually have cans on with the left ear off, but that's not the most comfortable or ideal listening environment. I was skeptical about how these would sound, but I've been obsessed from the moment I put them on. It's like having a speaker in the room that only you can hear. I have full conversations with coworkers while listening to music, and when using it for calls, I find the quality to be fantastic.
