Perfect for working and running. I’m thrilled!
This headset is entirely satisfactory. The battery life is good, it’s easy to attach to the charger, and it keeps a stable Bluetooth connection.At work, it’s easy to wear all day because it’s extremely light and does not press on my ears. The microphone seems to work well.For running or other outdoor exercise it’s nice that it you can still hear approaching vehicles. This does mean that if there is loud background noise you might not be able to hear your music/podcasts.The controls are easy to find and master.If you have long hair it does somewhat tend to get tangled when taking it off, but with a bit of practice this can mostly be avoided.

I give these a five star rating *****
I give these a five star rating, because of how well they fit and how good they sound, although the bass is somewhat lacking, but it’s there. I’ve been using earbuds for quite a while, but they have begun to irritate the skin in my ear canal and getting a good fit is a bit of a challenge, even with various earpieces. As soon as I tried these on and turned up the sound, I was sold. I wore them out to eat and it was sublime. I had music, situational awareness, the ability to converse, and there’s no problem with fit while chewing, as there is with earbuds.The instructions are not the best, but really the device is simple enough to figure out with a little practice and getting used to where all the controls are when the device is on one’s head. My initial attempts to use the app were unsuccessful and I concluded that it was useless, as some others noted. Today, I gave it another shot and the app worked perfectly and I was able to register the device with no problems and in short order.The bottom line is that the device fits well, sounds great, given its minor limitations, and they are excellent for navigating busy environments that require one to be aware and to communicate with others. Some reviewers noted that the sound is not audiophile quality and it isn’t, but then at my age, I no longer have audiophile quality ears, so the trade off is reasonable. It also helps to adjust the EQ on the sound source to improve sound.Edited: December 9, 2023 with regard to the function of the app.

Highly Recommend!
These headphones are a game changer. The sound quality isn’t great for music – it’s sending your sound through bone, after all, but they’re absolutely perfect for watching movies, videos and phone conversations. The sound is clear and true enough for these purposes. If I want to immerse myself in music, I’ll use my Bose.The battery life is great for the small size. I’ve worn them all day and I’ve not had the battery go dead yet. They charge very quickly, too. I’m not overly crazy about the proprietary charging cable, but for a few dollars, you can get an adaptor to be able to use USB-C cables. Replacement Shokz cables are available, too.The main feature of these headphones is the ability to hear your surroundings or have a conversation while listening to music or videos. They’re perfect for walking, jogging, bicycling or just staying aware. Amazon’s review page asks about boise cancellation, which is like them asking how well the headphones wash dishes. These are not MEANT to cancel noise, but just the opposite, and they do their job well.One of the most important features is the comfort. This is huge on my list because I have small ear canals, and I’ve found only a couple ear phones prior that would not only stay in my ears, but do it fairly comfortably. Those were both made by Bose, and one is discontinued. Even those would hurt my ears after a couple hours. The Shokz Open Run Pro headphones are the most comfortable I’ve EVER had. I literally forget I have them on. I’ve worn them for ten hours and suffered zero discomfort. That alone outweighs any forfeiture of sound quality.In short, these headphones do what they’re meant to do and they do it brilliantly.

They are great… for music in quiet environments
I do love these. But there are some pros and cons:Pros:*Not in my ear. That’s a major pro. A big one.*Sound quality is good. I’m not a huge music buff. I just like to listen to classical while I work.*Comfortable. They barely bother me after a few hours.*Discrete. They aren’t very visible*They work even w my long hair. I put them under my hair in the back.*Battery life is decent. Lasts me a couple days at work. I don’t use them all day long.*You don’t have to take them off to hear people or talk to people, though I usually still pause whatever is playing as it can still be distracting*They work decent for phone calls. My dad said they sounded really really clear. I was pleased as I didn’t expect a mic. They worked better for phone calls than for watching movies. The audio wasn’t bad for a call.*They connect really easily to my iphone 12. My son had trouble getting his to connect and stay recognized with his laptop and his iphone 6s, but I have had no problems.*Charger connects easily because it’s magnetic. They charge fast and that’s using my PC USB port.*The case is slim. This is a big plus. They’re also flexible and they don’t seem like they would be easy to break, even without a case.Cons:*They are not noise cancelling AT ALL. I know this is a feature not a flaw, but you cannot hear the music at all if anything else is going on around you. I switch to my Raycon earbuds if there’s external noise.*Not good for TV/Movies. I can’t understand/hear dialog on these even though they work great for music. It’s too quiet even on the loudest settings. I use my Raycons for dialog podcasts or shows. But they make my ears sweat and itch. I do prefer the comfort of these. These seem to work pretty well for phone calls though, so I’m not sure why the inconsistency. Even when it’s quite around me I cannot hear a movie regardless of what platform I try them on.*They are MOSTLY comfortable. They do put some uncomfortable pressure on my ear tops over time, but that’s hours. Also you can’t really lean back in a chair or on a pillow with these as they don’t sit flush on your neck. I got my son the regular and the mini for myself and he ended up getting minis too even though he has a huge head.*They do buzz a bit and it can tickle. I don’t listen to high base. Mostly I use it for classical music to try to destress while I work. I don’t find the buzz bad*The charger is proprietary so don’t lose the cord. And you have to bring the cord with. Not a problem for me as I only keep them at work.*When the battery starts to get low it constantly says “charge me” which I find annoying. Just say it once or twice and let them die. Don’t repeat it every few minutes until it dies, which can be a good 20-30 mins after you get the warning.*It’s not really a con, but these come with a headband. I couldn’t figure out how it was supposed to be incorporated and turns out it’s simply a headband. It doesn’t wrap around them or anything. I think it’s so that if you have long hair you can keep it back from under the conductive plates as they don’t work well if there’s anything keeping them from making contact with your skin. But I was confused until I googled what it was for.No idea how they work for sport or exercise because I’m fat and I don’t run. But they seem pretty secure on my head.

the best fitting bone induction headset on the planet!! for me at least!!!
i bought and owned a pair of SHOKZ OpenComm they were amazingly comfortable and awsome with great noise canceling mic i couldnt have been more happy with them till i wasn’t the mic quite! They were still under warranty, company notified me 3 times that i would receive a replacement but 6months to a year and i still did not get a replacement!! Picked up a cheap used bone induction for a while then needed another pair still no replacement from shokz! I was hesitant to order any thing from shokz again. Did research and chose another brand. Mojowa, great qulity, amazing bluetooth range, decent sound, ok mic but terible fit for me they hurt! no mater what i did i could not get them comfrtable, regretted ordering them!kept thinking of the comfort of my old shokz what else did they offer? Still decided to stay away from the open com but relented and order these SHOKZ OpenRun Pro! Amost didnt!! but glad i did!! i can wear them all l day i even forget i have them on!!!! full disclosure; i use my shokz most for cell phone use driving and construction work, music listening is secondary, for you earbud sound critics they probably will not match sony or bose but the sound is vastly improved from my first open com and the best in all the bone inductions i have had!(FYI little note/trick with bone induction, if they are not loud eough for you, if you are in a loud enviroment use earplugs or sound proof ear muffs and they will be loud!! Sounds i know, crazy but true!I do not like earbud or things in my ears i also like being aware of my surroundings so bone induction is the only way to go for me! With a great battery life and fast chargeing, unrivaled all day comfort, sound greatly improve and a good mic thease SHOKZ OpenRun Pro! for me, are by far the best overall most comfortable bone induction headset available! i want to stay a shokz user forever i hope the quality of these excedes my last pair of shokz or at least the costomer service is more reliable!! because for now, these SHOKZ OpenRun Pro are great! Stay tuned!!

Awesome for running/walking outdoors
Running outdoors is my primary cardio exercise method. I don’t wear headphones or earbuds because they negate my ability to hear external noises (like cars) and reduce my situational awareness, which is a safety concern. I’ve been meaning to check out bone conducting headphones and I recently purchased the SHOKZ OpenRun Pro. For my purposes, these headphones met and exceeded my expectations. They fit comfortably and snugly, while I’m wearing sunglasses, and allow me to listen music or podcasts while maintaining my “external” hearing. Of course, sound quality isn’t as good as nice earbuds or over-the-ear headphones, but they do what I need them to very well. I highly recommend this product for outdoor runners/walkers.

Work just got a little more fun
I do residential window cleaning, so I like to keep at least one ear open while working around customers’ homes / my coworkers. I would normally rock the single earbud when on the job like most people, but when I saw these, I had to pick them up seeing the specific advantages. Now that they’ve been attached to my skull for close to 100 hours in the past month and a half, I figure it was time for a review.These were a no-brainer for me, given the hours of podcasts I tend to go through. To me it was worth the sacrificing sound depth in favor of having both ears open, yet being able to hear my audio in both ears. This is the first pair of headphones in general that has allowed me to have quick conversations without even hitting pause.Speaking of pause, I really appreciate the tactile pause / volume buttons. This was clearly a nod to the athletes they’re marketed towards, and it’s nice to not take off my gloves every time I need to pause, plus touch controls are useless in wet environments.I can’t stress enough how comfortable these are. I had no clue how snug this type of “bone conducting” headphone would be on my skull, but they feel weightless. I wore these for 6 hours straight on a job, and they didn’t bother me at all.Now for sound quality, the consensus among reviewers is pretty clear on these, and I would echo that. Don’t even attempt electronic music. Heavier rock / metal is quite doable, you’ll definitely get good vocals / mids, just know these do vibrate a lot with fuller sounding music and can feel a little odd especially at high volumes. You’ll probably be pleased with anything acoustic. Podcasts / talk are the biggest win byfar with these.The case these come with is quite nice. I’m a little surprised they didn’t find a way to put a battery into the case given the easily accessible magnetic contacts. It’s not a deal breaker or anything, but the charging is proprietary, albeit ridiculously fast, but you are beholden to a single cable as your lifeline, so as long as you don’t forget the cable for any long trips, running out of juice shouldn’t be an issue. There have been days where I hastily plugged these in for 20 minutes before work after forgetting, and that was enough for them to go from “battery low” to “battery high” (those are just the voice prompts, I would guess it went from around 30% to 80%). Just hold on to that cable for dear life.Overall these headphones are well worth the money if you know what you’re using them for.

1.5 years later, a eulogy for bone conduction
So this is going to be a weird review, but I really feel like I need to share this.For anyone thinking of buying into bone conduction, the Shokz brand is the only one worth considering.They are a flawed piece of tech that me and my partner fell in love with, they are the perfect headset for a certain kind of person, they are also likely the last of their kind.Let’s start by talking about the openrun pro:Sound quality – 7/10 they excel in the vocal ranges, and the pro models have slightly enhanced bass. not the best you can get but more than acceptable. the sound feels like it just plays in your head, allowing you to still hear your environment while enjoying music and especially podcasts. There is some noise bleed but it’s pretty reasonable.comfort – 10/10 there’s absolutely nothing like them. They wrap around your head and loop over your ears perfectly. You’ll forget they’re even on half the time.battery life – 10/10 they get a laudable 8 hours of battery life but crucially they recharge insanely fast. you can throw them on their special charger for a few minutes and get a solid 2 hours of life.build quality – 8/10 They feel extremely premium and durable, the proprietary cable is excellent, the case is beyond excellent. I used them as a workhorse for a year and a half before they finally started to deteriorate. The case eventually came apart a bit and the headphones themselves finally started breaking at the contact between the headband and the speaker. With slightly more care they could definitely last two years as a workhorse or much longer with less wear. In the end the software broke on me, it’s possible that could be fixed but not without a data transfer interface which these do not have.So why am I writing this review now?well I certainly recommend you get a pair if you’re at all interested, but the real reason I’m writing this and why I’ve titled it a eulogy is because Shokz has just released its new earbuds, and they’re awful.I cannot be certain but based on my experience with this industry it looks like the openrun pro is the best, and last bone-conduction headset we’ll ever see.The new earbuds contain none of the excellent 9th-generation tech that gave this brand its name, they are instead a mediocre derivative of the ever-popular wireless earbuds, only they offer the same quality as the openrun.There’s every possibility that Shokz continues developing bone-conduciton but a huge part of me doubts that.I won’t be buying a replacement pair, I’m far too jaded to think that I can wait it out with another pair of pros and expect a future generation to replace them.PS. if Shokz PR sees this and wants to disabuse me of my misgivings I’d be more than happy to hear it, but somehow I doubt they will, and some part of me doubts it’d be true even if they did.

Bought July 11, 2023 – Battery Toast February 27, 2024. Great Warranty Response – Regained Stars.
Update 03/02/2024 – Although it was disappointing the battery in my unit gave out I’ll have to say the warranty process was executed with precision by Shokz. Shokz responded within the stated time and took care of all my concerns. In a word their performance was flawless. Back to 5 stars. Original review follows.Yes these have a 2 year warranty. With this in mind…..I bought these to use while cycling so I can be aware of my surroundings. For that purpose these are great because they do NOT block your ear canal at all. On top of that they’re comfortable. A tradeoff is the sound quality isn’t going to be up to par with a high end earbud that blocks off your ear canal. I have 2 sets of earbuds because when I don’t need to be aware of my surroundings I prefer a traditional high end set that focuses on noise reduction and sound quality.Like I said in the title I bought these less than a year ago and the battery is pretty much toast. This set use to operate for hours and now will barely make it through a 75 minute workout. What a pain in the rear end to almost be through my ride and hear the dreaded low battery message. Used to be I’d get about 3 of those messages before it shut down. Now I get 1 and it immediately shuts down.Shokz used to require registration to file a warranty claim but now says you don’t need to. All you have to do is fill out a warranty claim form. To do this you’ll need the serial of your device (on these it is wrapped around the charge port and you’ll need a magnifying glass – if you still have the box that’s a much easier place to get it), and a dated sales receipt. Once submitted you need to wait for Shokz’s response (they claim within 2 business days) – they may or may not require you to send in your set. My understanding is there will be no fee even if I have to return these – but if there is these will go in the trash and I’ll move on to Bose Ultra’s.The main reason for my 3 star review here is I expect to be able to use something like this for years before failure – and here I am at 7 months dealing with a warranty claim. What a PITA.

Best headphones for environments requiring hearing protection
I’m a heavy equipment mechanic/welder. I wear ear plugs all day every day. I have tried all other noise cancelling headphones on the market that can fit under a welding hood and PAPR. These work amazing. The music is actually clearer with hearing protection earplugs in. You can carry on a conversation with music playing in the background. We do a lot of carbon arc gouging and you can clearly hear the music while gouging. They take a few minutes to get used to because there is a slight vibration felt in your head. Another wider I work with who is elderly and wears hearing aids uses them. He says he can hear music like he’s in his 20’s again without hearing aids. They wrap around your ear and contact the skull behind your ear and by your side burn in the other contact point. I wear them with safety glasses and FR head sock with no issues. I can even carry on with a phone call under my welding hood while working and the person on the other ends never complains about background noise. They do get in the way with some head protection that uses a chin strap or has adjustable suspension that contacts the base of your skull. The only downside is the charging connection is magnetic and attracts grinding dust and metal shavings. Not the end of the world, just blow them off with compressed air. The battery lasts about 14 hours of music played all day. They charge in less than an hour. The pause/call button on the side is easily operated with heavy gloves on. You can walk about 200 feet away from your phone before they disconnect.

Shokz after AfterShokz
I was an early adopter of the bone conductance headsets, tracing all the way to the original Aftershokz headset. While the company is reAirForce Talon SSnamed simply Shokz, the product has vastly improved.For voice-only applications, the sound quality is more than sufficient, both in terms of the microphone and the “speakers.” This also applies to listening to audible books and podcasts.For music, however, one may find the bass a little lacking. With a tone generator, I can tell that a pure sine wave at 90 Hz is barely noticeable. This inspired me to use an equalizer to try to reproduce how music sounds like using a Hifiman Ananda driven by a humble Fosi DS1 amp. If I set the equalizer to start to roll off at 90 Hz (0 db) and down to -36 db at 36 Hz, then the audible experience is *about* the same.In reality, the OpenRun Pro does not sound quite as tinny because some lower frequencies can still be felt, but not heard. There is no easy way to configure the equalizer to quite reproduce this effect on a strictly air pressure wave headphone.If someone is expecting the same kind of sound quality as a normal headset in the same price range, there will be disappointment. If I want to really enjoy my music, the OpenRun Pro is definitely not my first choice. In a quiet room, the Hifiman Ananda + Fosi DS1 combo is hard to beat. In a noisy environment (vacuum cleaner, leaf blower, impact wrench, etc.), the Sony WF-1000XM4 with ANC or the Etymotic ER4XR are my choices.So when do I use the OpenRun Pro?When I just need some music “in the background,” especially when I am on the move. In a normal office, the OpenRun Pro sounds the best when it is at the medium level. Cranking up the volume seems to lose the balance between the high and low frequencies because the low frequencies are not as easy to reproduce/perceive. Some slow ambient music played through the OpenRun Pro really helps me get through a day of office work.Depending on the volume and genre of the music, I can carry on a conversation with my colleagues without pausing the music. Unlike the ambient mode of the Sony WF-1000XM4, there is no electronic pass through with distortion, conversations are just as natural as without wearing the OpenRun Pro.The OpenRun Pro is comfortable, too. I can wear it all day without feeling any discomfort. I also wear prescription glasses! As much as I enjoy the Ananda, WF-1000XM4 and the ER4XR, none of them is an all-day kind of headset (especially on a hot day). The battery life of the OpenRun Pro is superior, the battery level is still “medium” at the end of a long 12-hour work day (but I don’t play music the entire 12 hours, although the headset is on all the time).Another benefit of the OpenRun Pro is that even when I am not listening to music, all the notification tones are played via the headset while I can hear everything in my surrounding. For example, in a meeting, I pause the music (some people speak very softly), but I leave the OpenRun Pro on. This way, I can get a calendar notification, but no one but myself hear it.

Measure for the right size!
These have been excellent. While not audiophile (which I didn’t expect) they actually perform better for music than I expected.They fit perfectly and are incredibly comfortable and light weight. I have frequently forgotten I’m wearing them. They even fit well with my glasses.One complaint I saw in a number of reviews was sound quality and/or loudness. I think this might actually be related to the fit. If you have a normal sized head, the mini seems to work better. The close back towards your ears they sit, the better the sound. My head size was right on the edge of their recommendation for mini vs. standard, so I went with the mini and I’m glad I did.

Love this for working out and walking outside
These are great! Love being able to hear ambient noise while walking and I love that these don’t cover my ears and make me sweaty or fall out of my ears (like earbuds). I will say if you have TMJ and wear it for a long period it can exacerbate it (but this was after wearing for 6+ hours for work.

Sin duda Shokz son especialistas en conducción ósea, y con estos audífonos lo han corroborado.Si necesitas unos audífonos que te transmitan una excelente calidad de sonido, pero a la vez que te permita estar atento al entorno mientras se camina o se hace deporte, definitivamente son los adecuados!Siento que esta versión pro tienen bajos mucho más profundos y fuertes y eso me encanta.••El único punto negativo es que la app no está disponible para ciertos países de latinoamerica, no entiendo la razón y eso es algo que la empresa debe poner énfasis !

Not Bad
Honestly i got these because i wanted to listen to a podcast and hear my kids at the same time. The only set back is the back strap. I wish it was adjustable. I have to tilt them a certain way so that they feel comfortable laying down or leaning on a rocking chair. AGAIN i know these are made for runners so that’s just my personal opinion on them of course!

Love It
The sound quality and everything about them is amazing. Not having to put headphones in my ears when the sizes are almost never right make these totally worth it. My ears don’t hurt, the sound is way better then I thought it would be though I do wish they could go a little louder.

These are perfect for me!
I work in a fabrication shop, and regular earbuds don’t block out enough sound. Even the noise cancelling ones fail to serve when using hammers or metal punches, since the programming can’t make up for such sharp sounds.These, however, I can wear regular earplugs with and get the best of both worlds!

Bone Conduction sellers
Bought these because the factory I work at 85-90db legalized the use of Bone Conduction headphones when paired with earplugs for safety. The music is sound is about as clear as I think we’re gonna get (Sounds with earplugs in like you’re at a concert in a hallway. You can still hear the music but you’re not actually in the same room effect) but otherwise clear and amazing sounding when using them without. The mini size was perfect, they are lightweight, have tremendous battery life, pair and connect easily and don’t disconnect, and the dual noise canceling mics means I can do discord and phone calls with these on the line again around loud machinery and the other people won’t hear most of it. These are marketed towards runners and other athlete but they are still a solid choice for any job that allows Bone Conduction headphones with ear plugs in.

Amazing!
These headphones are absolutely perfect for anyone who enjoys listening to music, podcasts, audiobooks, or just conversing while exercising especially outdoors or any other project that you need to be hands free and not having to stop and take your headphones out every time someone asks a questions. You hear everything simultaneously and clearly without losing the enjoying of what you’re listening to. This works excellent when working outdoors or in the house and not feeling completely disconnected on what’s going on around you, i.e kids, or having to play music loud enough to hear where your working, it goes where you go.Purchase and you will not regret it!

Great product
This is the second pair of Shokz I’ve purchased. I have waterproof ones for swimming and I bought these for my fiancée for running and he absolutely loves them. He hardly has to charge these and uses them for very long runs (multiple hours). He’s had no complaints and said they feel great for long usage which allowing him to still hear his surroundings

BEST SO FAR
I bought this after I had puchase a cheap generic pair that sound really good. So I figures I would but the top in bone conduction headphones. They sound great and the mini fit me so well with less space from behind the neck highly recommend. Yes a bit pricey but so worth the cost for a great sound,

Just what I needed!
They met my expectations. They are light, you can hardly feel them. The sound is high quality with good balance. I have used them for jogging and they stay in place. For work, I use them in multipoint pairing mode for my laptop and cell phone simultaneously. For virtual meetings, they have good sound quality and have a noise cancelling microphone. For cell phone calls they work the same way and have high bluetooth range. Charging is very fast (approx. 1 hour to 100%) and I can have up to 1.5 hours with 5 minutes of charging. The Carrying Case is very useful to carry them in the backpack and avoid damage.

Not Headphones But Work Great
Bone conduction is a different type of sound transmission. Sounds are “heard” through other parts of our hearing anatomy. These SHOKZ OpenRun Pro headphones are outstanding in their transmission of music for my workouts, while I still maintain situational awareness. I can ride with favorite tunes playing and still hear the electric car approaching from behind. I have been using this technology for about 8 years and find it useful in any workout where regular headphones or speakers will not work. The quality of sound reproduction in this model is awesome too.

Great headphones
If you have trouble with the headphone that stick in your ears these are for you. Comfortable, one can wear them all day an forget they are on your head. Also, great when you need to hear the outside world, like when jogging. Not a good choice if you want to cancel all outside noise and sound.

Works well for places where you don’t want something in your ears
This headset is perfect for cycling or scooting, or wherever you need full awareness of what’s going on around you. But it’s not an audiophile-quality headset. To be sure, I didn’t expect it to be – you’re not buying this for the best quality sound. Having said that, it sounds pretty darned good. Surprisingly good, considering it’s bone induction. Let’s face it – this headset is effectively a nice compromise for a narrow set of uses.

Fantastic for answering the phone and listening to books on audio
Fantastic for the phone and listening to audiobooks. Music it is just so so. Battery life is good and they are extremely comfortable truly I forget I have them on. I did wear a set out after about a year and a half one of the speakers went crackling on me. Outside of that I have no complaints.

Awesome product, I listened to my bosses device and bought my own. Only problem in my box was an older version not the new one as I was hoping. Don’t let that stop you from buying. Stuff like that happens. I most likely will buy again just not now.

Keep them low and hear everything around you
I work in management and when I’m in my office it’s nice to be able to listen to music, pod cast or audio books while I’m doing paperwork. The problem with ear buds is that if someone comes in to ask a question I have to make them wait while I take out the ear bud. With these I can answer right away. Love them!!

Wow…. I wasn’t expecting such clarity.
I have to say that I hate earbuds. They are buncomfortable, fall out etc. The last straw was a pair of JBL that were the most horrifying fit ever. I decided to try shokz open fit pro. The open run pro is comfortable and offers full hearing with great sound. I’m impressed. There may be some gym issues with the back band, but I’ll get though that. Update: These are the first wireless sport headphones to work flawlessly with a Garmin Venu 2. These are great.

Clear sound
I bought these for my husband, who has a hard time hearing. He feels like hearing has just been discovered. He never wants to take them off, he’s able to hear his podcast now. When we are leaving the house, I say “honey are you going to take them off”. I think I’m going to need to get him a second pair. I wish they made hearing aids like this

Best sounding bone conduction earbuds
I work in the industrial field where earbuds are prohibited but these are legal. They sound great around all the noise and commotion. Can still hear my favorite song or have a clear conversation with someone on the phone or talking to someone else. The one draw back is the magnetic charger. I have trouble everyday with the magnetic not fully connecting with the earbud. Even a month in of having them I had that issue. Cleaned it out multiple times but still continue with the issue. Other than that , charges fast and super useful to have around.

Excellent sound quality, nothing jammed into my ear, and I can hear what’s going on around me at the park, work, etc. Well worth the money as I use them nearly every day.

LOVE THESE HEADPHONES
This is my second pair of Shokz headphones. I have them dual-paired to my phone and my laptop, and I wear them all day while I’m working so I can hear all of my notifications on both devices, answer phone calls from either device, take Zoom/Teams meetings, & listen to music without having to disconnect/reconnect between devices. I literally don’t take them off during the work day. No need – they’re comfortable to wear & they don’t block my ears, so I can still hear everything going on around me when I don’t have audio playing. Would definitely recommend.

More amazing than you’d imagine!
I average 5-6+ hours of music listening per day and often find having headphones in curbs my adhd. I’m able to block out everything and stay focused. Sometimes that doesn’t work when you still have to pay attention to the world around you haha. I wanted to try these and this did solve that problem! Although I don’t get the same effect of zoning out, I’m still able to listen to music while functioning fully. You can wear these all day long if you please. Two days in and I’m trying to get used to them as they give you the feeling that someone is playing music in your head, not that you’re listening to music through headphones or on a loud stereo. Like a soundtrack to your life that nobody but you can hear. Little creepy. BUT these things are 1000% worth the high cost. Best brand to go to as some are fakes that are just speakers in front of your ears. Buy the pro model for sure. Love these so far.

WOW! So far these are increadable
I”m an IT professional that works out of a home office. This job is very demanding and requires me to talk with a lot of people throughout the day. I Have been using a closed ear set of Bose for my headset. While the sound is great, they are a little big and cause my head to get hot and sweat. I have been looking for some that is not in or over my ears, a friend of mine showed me his and I tested them out thought they may well give them a shot so I ordered the Pros paid 150$ with tax. I have had several meetings on teams while being multi-paired with my laptop and Iphone (music). These are so confortable and the sound is crystal clear. The noice canceling is so good I get asked all the time why it is so quite, no noice in the background when I work from home, have kids and a nagging wife that always need something during the day. I can go on about these, but Ill just say, get yourself a pair and you be the judge. You will come back and say this crazy IT guy talked you into trying them. Oh yea, I type very fast and sometimes leave out letters and my words dont come out just right. Just go with it, read between the trash..CKS

In general, these meet or exceed my expectations
The Bone Conduction concept has already been around for a minute, but like most tech I think waiting around a bit tends to get you a better product for less money, so here I am finally trying the OpenRun Pro for myself. Due to inner ear issues, I find the in-ear earbuds unwearable in most cases, and long periods of over-ear headphones can have issues as well, so I have been curious how these headphones would address my issues with other types, and how they could possibly have decent sound quality without being directly in or on the ear.Well the short answer is…I love them. I wear them almost daily. Because I have frequent online meetings, I have to wear headphones — but I honestly forget I’m wearing these 99% of the time. The sound quality is far better than I anticipated (with the exception of low frequencies), and it’s amazing how nearby persons can’t hear a sound. It’s like being immersed in a conversation in-person; and I can talk normally to others who actually are in-person while I wear them. And people on the other end say my voice comes through nicely, even in somewhat noisy surroundings.Some slight dings against an otherwise amazing product that has revolutionized my headphones experience:- what i thought was a mute button for calls actually hangs up- no next/previous buttons- proprietary charging connector- loud volumes and low frequencies can create a weird, ticklish sensation on the temples- bass is almost non-existent- not ideal for loud environments

Listen to music and still hear the world
Several colleagues of mine owned this and I was curious. I wanted to be able to listen to ambient music and still hear the world. It works great! I can listen to music and answer calls. I work in an operating room setting. So it is important for me to be able to hear from across the room.

Worth it!
I love that I can wear these and still go about my day. I even got the manager at work to approve them. We work in an environment where be able to hear your coworkers is critical. As a bonus I can wear standard hearing protection when needed and still listen. My ENT said that I didn’t need to worry about my hearing either as this bypasses the part of your ear that normally gets damaged by loud noise.

The best sound option I ever had
I have tried many earbuds but regardless of different size ear buds, none actually fir. All fall out of my ears I gave up on having a wireless sound system until I heard about the bone shocks. Was a bit sceptical but decided to give it a try. I absolutely love my headset. I chose the see that connects the both sides and has a a bar that sits behind your head. Initially I thought it might bother like the old head phone system they had decades ago. I was surprised that it did not bother me. I can also wear glasses and not feel bothered by the fit either. The sound is not made for blasting loud music with heavy base because it will vibrate on your head and tickle. It is fabulous when you want to listen to music while still hearing ambient sound. The battery life is great.I liten for hours and I have yet to run the battery to low. Even after several hours of listening the battery is it medium. The device when turned on tells the battery life. It charges quickly. I absolutely love it. Bone conduction sound is great and just as good if not better than having sound in your earswithout having annoying things in your ears. Thumbs up! Definitely recommended!!!

Great item….for bone conduction headphones.
It took a little getting used to the sound difference between these OpenRun Pros and my over-the-ear Bose QC35 headphones, but knowing the Pros wouldn’t compare to the Bose, my expectations weren’t all that high. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. No, you’re not gonna get that booming bass, but that’s not what they’re designed to do.It only took an hour or so to charge them up and I expect to get more battery life than other similar phones. The app was very user-friendly. You can switch EQ settings between standard and vocal. The BEST part is how well they stay where they’re supposed to stay. The band in the back is flush with the back of my neck. I have a HUGE (watermelon) head and they fit great…so much so that I can lay my head on a pillow and they stay on. My Samsung Buds2 Pro always fell out – even while just sitting or slowly walking. Frustrating! Again, not so with these OpenRun Pros.CAVEAT: It takes a bit getting used to repeat songs. The multi-function button does NOT protrude which makes it difficult sometimes to locate and then press 3 clicks for the repeat function to work. I’m sure with a bit more practice, I’ll get it down (I just got them 2 days ago).All in all, I’m extremely pleased with this purchase. Go for it!

Should have ordered sooner!
I’m a new runner and training for my first half marathon. Music is my motivator so I need it to run. I’ve tried a couple different ear buds and none of them stay in my ears. Constantly jamming an ear bud in my ear while running was getting old. I saw these and wanted to order them but was hesitant after reading a couple reviews about the charger and sound quality. After talking to a couple people who absolutely love theirs, I finally decided to order. When they came, I charged them and it was completely fine. The magnet snapped right on and charged to 100% so I’m unsure the issue others were having with the charger. I tried them out on an 8-mile training run and they worked beautifully. They didn’t move, the sound quality was great, and I wish I had ordered sooner. Of course they don’t have much bass but I’m ok with that as I don’t need bass while I’m running. I could still somewhat hear what others were saying when I had them on, which is good because I like to stay aware of my surroundings on runs.

Good, But Not As Good As My Previous Shokz
I had to replace my beloved Aftershokz Airs after a sudden death that I was most unprepared for.*moment of silence*So I got the OpenRun Pros and they are fine replacements for the most part. What is disappointing is that the OpenRun Pros seem to be a little less enthusiastic about connecting to various devices via Bluetooth. The Airs were happy to bounce around from laptop to iPhone to portable speaker. In fact, they’d often get a little too enthusiastic and get frustrated if my iPhone and MacBook were both within range. The OpenRun Pros though…not so eager, and often when I do connect to my iPhone I have to fiddle around with things a bit to get the sound to actually come out of the headphones and not the phone itself.Beyond that I’m a big Shokz fan. For outdoor exercise like running there’s nothing better or safer if you insist on wearing headphones. I have no trouble hearing approaching traffic or cyclists on the roads and trails. If you’re an audiophile looking for awesome fidelity in your sound these won’t do the job. What they will do, though, is provide clear and reliable sound for music, podcasts, audiobooks, phone calls, etc. while you’re out there doing the work.

Highly recommended. Very lightweight and fits good over my glasses
I’ve had several people ask me what I’m wearing. All I have to say is, “Oh you gotta hear this.” And they are impressed.Great product.Very lightweight.Fits good over my glasses.Bluetooth connectivity/reconnect to my phone is really good.Good range – under 30ft through walls.Sound quality is better than I expected, except the bass (see note below). It’s even better if I wear a sweat/head band down over my ears.Battery life is 8-10 hours for me, which is better than what I expected for the light weight.It’s the little things…The proprietary charging cable/connector is short so I’ll need to buy a longer oneThe vibration from the bass of some audio tickles my outer ear which is annoying and distracting, unless I wear a headband down over my ears.

Nice product
These headphones have been great. I have used them at the gym while weight training, and they stay on my head easily in the various different positions I get into. It has been useful to be able to have my ears open inn order to have a quick chat with someone (“are you using this?” without taking out my headphones. On the flip side of this you do hear everything, so if your goal is to drown out your surroundings, this probably won’t be your favorite. I think the sound is a bit of a compromise, but it is still surprisingly good. I have also use these as a backup to my work headset when my primary headset has run out of battery. People say they hear me wall and that the sound quality is good. My only CON is that I don’t like that these headphones have a unique charger. It is yet one more thing I have to have. I would be much happier if it were a common plug, such as micro USB or USB-C. That being said, I don’t have to charge it very often. The battery life is quite good!

My new favorite headphones
They are plenty loud enough, and I did not have the volume turned all the way up. I took them out of the box as soon as they arrived, I probably should have charged them, but I decided I wanted to hear them right away. I finished off an audiobook (a little over an hour) and started another one (while cooking dinner and doing stuff and things). The sound is great! They are lightweight, stay on, and the audio is perfect. When I first picked up the case, I thought it was empty, but they are just that light. These are my new favorite headphones! I charged them later, and they were only charging for a few minutes when suddenly they were done. Nice! You can still hear the outside world, which was why I got them, because I am on call this week, so noise cancelling headphones wouldn’t work for me.

Overcame hearing loss !!!
My hearing was ruined by 35 years in an aircraft factory … Tonight is the first time in 20 years that I’m able to understand the lyrics to songs . The ringing in the ears is lessened also .Through trial and error I found that putting unpowered headphones on over them brings a lot more sound out …. I feel that this device is well worth the money …. Suggestion : Someone put together something that both the bone-phones and a set of headphones could be listened too at the same time . Thank-You SHOKS

Good as bone conduction gets, but that’s not great
I gather that these sound noticeably better than other bone conduction headphones, but those must be worse than mediocre given what I hear with these. 3 stars for mediocre sound, quirky controls, and not great value for the price (~$180 when I bought them, though they are less expensive as of this writing). On multiple scores for this premium-priced model, I’m afraid Shokz over-promises and under-delivers. Details follow.USE CASE (background info, skip ahead to SOUND QUALITY for product comments): My use case for this was a little unusual – I wanted to listen to music from my phone in a car that lacked Bluetooth or aux-in. Headphones seemed unsafe, FM xmitter not a reliable option due to lack of open freqs in my area, and upgrading w/an aftermarket stereo isn’t worth it for a 10-yr old car that I plan to sell on fairly soon. I thought bone conduction might be a good solution since it wouldn’t block my hearing for traffic sounds, alarms, etc. I read that sound quality wasn’t the main strength of these athletic-oriented headphones, so figured I’d splurge and get the OpenRun Pro since it’s consistently rated among the best in this category for sound quality (and I was avoiding the cost of a new car stereo after all).SOUND QUALITY: First things first – to my ear the sound quality is perfectly fine for spoken word (audiobooks, podcasts, etc.) but not at all satisfying for music, lacking both bass and high end. In one sense I’m glad I got these because anything with lower quality would be unacceptable for music and I’m not seeing any models consistently rated higher for sound; on the other hand, judged solely for spoken word, perhaps a less pricey option might have sufficed. I think these are probably the worst sounding speakers or headphones on which I even try to listen to music (e.g., the affordable little Photive Hydra waterproof BT speaker I keep in my bathroom is much more pleasing). I’ve also used these for a few phone calls and they sound great for that. Folks on the other end seem perfectly happy with mic sound.ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION: Shortly after buying this Shokz I got the Oraolo M110 wearable (around the neck) BT speaker, and it worked far better as a car audio solution than the Shokz, mainly due to superior sound quality (while still leaving ears open to hear the surroundings), for about a third of the cost (though in fairness it eventually had other issues). If I’d thought to check that out first I’d never have bought the Shokz and saved myself some money; the Oraolo may not hold a candle to proper over-ear headphones, but its sound quality is head and shoulders above the OpenRun Pro. The Oraolo had some quality problems with its switches that forced me to return it, but a holiday price cut on Sony’s premium version of this tech (SRS-NS7) eventually got that to a price (little more than I’d paid for the OpenRun Pro, actually) that I could justify. Anyway, because I use the neck speakers and the Shokz for similar purposes, I’ll mention a few points of comparison in the following comments.UTILITY: Despite the above, I do still use the OpenRun Pro with some frequency since I already have them. They’re great for listening to podcasts around the house without disturbing others or while driving, you barely notice you’re wearing them (if I’ve paused the sound to deal with an interruption that goes on longer than expected I can completely forget they’re on) – on that score they beat anything else I’ve owned. Being worn directly on the head the sound is unaffected by head movements (an issue for neck speakers). They’re not as quiet for folks around you as, e.g., in-ear or over-the-ear headphones, but they’re not at all loud in that regard, MUCH quieter than, e.g., neck speakers.Battery life is usable (at least a few hours), but not nearly the 10 hours they claim. They certainly don’t last as long as other BT headphones and speakers I have, but all this may be understandable given their size and weight.FEATURES/FUNCTIONS: Apart from sound quality, this is where I have the most gripes. Controls are on both left and right sides, with a single multi-function button on the left speaker used for play/pause/answer (1 click), FF (2 clicks), and REW (3 clicks), and a rocker on the right temple controlling power and volume. The problem with this arrangement is that it’s so hard to time the 3 clicks for the rewind/skip-back function that it’s nearly useless, with the headphones often doing a FF & pause instead (so of course then you have to REW further…); I usually give up after one try and use my phone or smartwatch. This would all work much better with a rocker switch in the left temple like the one on the right to control FF/REW, leaving the main button on the left speaker dedicated to play/pause/answer. Awful design as it stands.More randomly, the OpenRun Pro sometimes just shuts itself off with an alert tone while in the middle of playing (so not a silence time-out, which they also do) – this seems to happen most often when using it with Roku remote listening, which can be inconvenient. It does power right back up when you hit the right temple rocker switch . I’ve noticed that this issue is addressed in the Shokz OpenRun troubleshooting guide with a recommendation to “File a warranty claim”, but it doesn’t happen all that often apart from the Roku app and recovery isn’t that problematic.OVERALL: There are some real advantages to this ultra-light non-isolating form factor and I see these are priced below $150 right now, but I’d shop around and check out some reviews for comparable models at lower prices, especially if you’ll mainly be listening to podcasts or audiobooks. For music, I really don’t think any of these are likely to be much good given the current state of the art.

Amazing sound and quality
My husband bought these for me for my birthday. I wanted new headphones for working out etc but ear buds never fit well enough to stay in while I run or do a HIIT. I was so stoked at how incredible the sound was with these. Whether it’s music or audio books, it’s crystal clear sound. I also like that I can hear background noises still without it being annoying or deafened, if that makes sense? I feel safer and more secure on my runs now since I can hear traffic behind me coming up (we live in an area with no sidewalks etc) and if I’m working out in the garage, I can hear my kids call to me or approaching (they like to sneak attack when I’m mid sit-up and dog pile me… -sigh- lol).I really like that they came with color options and the one my husband chose is the coral/pinky ones. They’re bright and my running cap has a loop in the back (meant to hold sunglasses) that I wind them through so they don’t bobble on my ponytail, lol. They’ve proven rain/water resistant several times already now.I’m not a tech person like my husband is but he picked an amazing set for me, really happy with these!!

This is my second pair
I had to order a second pair because one of the ear pieces broke off of the first pair. They seem to be fairly sturdy, so I suspect that there may have been a minor flaw or crack in the first pair. I work from home, so I wear these each day for meetings. I use MS Teams, and they work pretty good for that. They connect to my HP laptop through Bluetooth. I wish that the piece that connects the two ear pieces together was just a little longer. Right now the right ear piece puts too much pressure on the top front part of my ear and causes pain after several hours of use. Now for the good; The sound quality, both what I hear, and what others hear from me seems to be very good. I wear these from 8 to 10 hours each day, and the battery life is very good. It has been very rare that the battery has not lasted all day, and those times have been with very heavy use. The recharge time is very good, and if you need to get a little more use out of them you can do a quick 5 minute charge to get you through another meeting. I haven’t timed how long it takes to get a full charge from almost empty but it seems to be about 40 to 60 minutes. I try to charge them up and them remove them from the charging cable so that they aren’t charging all night. They have been left charging over night on a few occasions without a problem. So far, I have been very happy with them. I am thinking about moving up to the OpenComm UC version because my primary use for them is work meetings. The ability to mute with the button on the boom mic would be very helpful.

Perfect for work.
I bought these because of work. I want to listen to music yet, I still need to hear what’s going on around me. They want me to rate the noise cancelation of these. Don’t let the 1 star effect this review. The lack of cancelation is exaclty why I bought them. I have the Samsung pro buds 2 and the ambient sound switching is slow and annoying. I opened these aftershockz and haven’t taken them off except to sleep. Heck yeah! These are awesome and just what the doctor ordered. I’ll keep my buds for the plane. These aftershockz will be my forever work wear.

Their great, but…
They’re great for my daily walks on trails near my home. When I use regular ear buds I can’t hear bicylists that yell to tell me when they’re passing. The sound is great, but to me they’re a little uncomfortable with glasses. The biggest downside for me is I can’t use them for more than an hour or so. I have periodic migraines and the bone vibration seems to irritate my trimeginal nerve, which in turn triggers a migraine. If you have any facial neuralgia, this device is probaly not for you. It’s an expensive thing to get only limited use from. I bought one for my husband as well. He loves his set and doesn’t have any problem with it.

Very glad I went with these.
Glad I went with bone conducting over regular ear plugs because I can actually hear my surroundings. The audio quality is not bad at all for not being directly in your ear. I went with the minis as well and am very happy with them since I can wear a winter hat over them, something I wouldn’t be able to do with regular version. I’ve only used them for 90 minute run sessions, but battery has never failed and they are surprisingly quick to charge.

Amazing how they work
Everything about these are great, except for 1 thing. They stick out too far on my head in the back so I can’t lay back with out them shifting. BUT, that’s not what they are made for. They are made for sports/running, etc. not sitting in a barka lounger jamming out to Led Zepplin. I have very small ear canal and they worked excellent for that, nothing to stick in your ear. Sound was incredible, loved the dark blue color too. I had to return them tho due to the nature of what I wanted them for. Not sports. But, that’s my problem.

Love them
Has to buy a new pair become dog got them off the counter while charging and chewed them up. They are so comfortable and have amazing clear sound. I love that I can have them on and still hear around me. When I mow grass I pop in some foam ear plugs. Since I started using them I also get WAY less ear infections. When I use the ones that go inside your ears or cover ears like head-phones I stay with ear infections. I’ve been told by people they couldn’t tell I was on ear buds. Highly recommend!

Love these so much I got a pair for my sister and my husband
These bone conducting headphones are great when you want to listen to something fairly loud without having people around you hear. They are also great when using them to talk with someone on the phone. They can hear you clearly and you can hear them clearly. Very comfortable to wear and easy to pause when someone comes to talk to you at work. A lot faster to pause than trying to pause on your phone. I headphones that go in my ears, they always hurt after a few minutes or fall out, so these are the perfect headphones for me. I would recommend these to anybody and everybody.

Great for the office
I work a week on week off 12 hour shift. It’s a operational job in a chair, and the ability to listen to audio books, podcasts, news, music all the while maintaining my hearing for the alarm sounds and radio conversation is a absolute must.These fit the bill so incredibly well, I loved them. The coworkers here started noticing and asking and they spread through our facility like an infection, now I’d say 7/10 guys here are wearing these. So many have them I never need to worry there’s a charger in every outlet lol,The only bummer was this Christmas 2023 my child borrowed them for a car ride to watch a movie on her present, and she lost them somewhere 2 hours from home, fell out of the truck I guess. I connected to them one last time via blue tooth (insane range) and then they disconnected so I think someone swiped them and left.I miss these headphones so much. Can’t really just go buy another pair for the price point right now.Audio is good. Heavy bass will vibrate and tickle your ears, Bluetooth connectivity is excellent you can walk away from your device and maintain the handshake, water resistance excellent, cleaning ability is easy, if you wear ear pro with these on they enhance the audio probably 125% better.Con is in a loud environment these become useless they can’t keep up with the noise and vibrations of a factory or anything, but if you put ear pro in they will, but if you do that you can’t hear anyone else so that’s a con.

Way better than the knockoffs
I bought a knockoff pair a few years ago because I wasn’t sure they would work or if I’d like them and didn’t want to spend a lot to find out. My fears were true and ultimately returned the knockoffs. These then came up in a deal a few weeks ago and I decided to try the real thing. I have been presently surprised by how well they work fit and how much I like them 100% would recommend. Music quality is better than other reviews. Heavy bass is less heard more felt on the side of your head.

Will never go back to my old headphones
I. LOVE. THESE. Have had several long runs in now and I will never go back to other headphones. I love the ability to still hear cars and animals (rural roads are rough) while also getting motivation from music. Super comfy and don’t bounce like I was worried about. My wife also used them for yoga and they didn’t fall off in inversions. I’m going to buy a second pair so I don’t have to share this set.
