Shokz - OpenRun Pro 2 Wireless Bone Conduction Open-Ear Bluetooth Sports Headphones - Steel Blue

These are the best darn open ear headphones on the market in my honest opinion. I have 2 for me and I bought my wife one & my 2 sons. I've had my share of earphones over the last 2-4 decades. I just love tech. So, I first got a pair of Shokz about 3 yrs ago & they were awesome - the battery life was unreal, sound quality & clarity was superb except I was getting headaches and my ears were just in pain but i really liked them so i just kept on using them until one day I went back to best buy & explained to the sales rep what was going on. So asked me to see the headphones. He chuckled and said sir, these are the MINI SHOKZ, needless to say I felt like an idiot & we were both laughing our azzes off. I felt so stupid but to be honest, I did remember the sales rep at the time telling me that they were Mini's but they were the last SHOKZ in stock so i bought them anyway. Anyway, this rep upgraded me from the Mini to the SHOKZ PRO 2 on my BEST BUY TOTAL membership. Man what a difference. I could literally not feel them on my head. I told my wife the story and she was dying with laughter regarding me using the Mini all this time. I don't leave home without them, these things last all day at work even when I work overtime like last night 14 hrs. I use these headphones religiously. I was still yapping the phone after i got home last night. My wife HATES any kind of headphones on her head or over her ears. She refused to try them until one day she did the unthinkable when I was at work, she tried them on and now she uses them to talk to her family and friends back in Australia all the time. She was tired of carrying the phone around the house, now she just puts it down and walk around talking away. She uses them to watch tv in bed at night as well. She likes that its so light, the clarity of the sound, she gets no headaches, she also loves the fact the battery use on it last all day. My boys were die-hard Airpod users whom also refused a new pair of these headphones, so when their Airpods crapped out on them, I bought them both the Shokz Pro 2 a couple months ago and sat it on their computer desks and they kept on trashing it before they even tried the darn things. Typical teens, lol. My one son came to us and said WOW dad, these headphones are the best headphones ever, sorry Apple, I'm a Samsung phone user, Android all day but every couple hrs my boys would be charging their Airpods non stop & they were hating it but they were to PRIDEFUL to tell us, because I would tease them about their Airpods. They now rave about these headphones all the time to their friends. Needless to say, my other son eventually fessed up saying, dad I'm not going to lie, these headphones rock, OMG. Yeah, so last night, I asked my boys if they wanted some Airpods for Christmas to add to the list, they were like really dad, yeah right. They want another pair of SHOKZ, just another color & my wife heard them, She wants a Silver one as her second pair among other gifts of course. I'm getting the orange one to match my orange watch You guys have created an AWESOME product. I never thought I'd ever be leaving a review for headphones like this product. Its also pretty kewl when other folks are like, hey man these are kewl, what are they & how clear are they since they're not in your ears, I would be like here try them on and they're like get the heck out of here, these are AWESOME, I'm like yep!!!

I’ve been using my Open Shokz headphones for a while now, and they’ve completely changed how I listen to audio during workouts and daily activities. The open-ear design is honestly the biggest advantage — I can enjoy music or podcasts while still being fully aware of my surroundings. That makes a huge difference when walking outside, driving, or even just staying connected to what’s happening around me at home. They’re incredibly lightweight and comfortable. I can wear them for long periods without any pressure on my ears, which is something I could never say about traditional earbuds. The fit is secure too — they stay in place during workouts, walks, and even more intense movement. Sound quality is surprisingly clear for bone conduction headphones. Of course, they’re not meant to replace deep bass headphones, but for everyday listening, calls, and workouts, they perform really well. Call quality has also been excellent — people hear me clearly even when I’m outdoors. Battery life has been reliable, charging is quick, and the build quality feels premium and durable. Overall, Open Shokz headphones are perfect if you want comfort, safety, and convenience without sealing off your ears. They’ve become one of my favorite everyday tech accessories, especially for fitness and outdoor use. Highly recommended.

I picked these up from Best Buy and I’m seriously impressed. The open-ear design is super comfortable and keeps me aware of my surroundings while running. Sound quality is much better than I expected, clear vocals and surprisingly good bass for bone-conduction headphones. They stay in place even during long runs and don’t cause any ear fatigue. Battery life is solid, and I love that it now charges via USB-C. If you’re active or run outdoors often, these are a game changer. Totally worth it!

Great headphones for running and workouts. Lightweight, secure fit, and the open-ear design keeps you aware of your surroundings. Sound quality is clear and improved over older bone-conduction models, battery life is solid, and Bluetooth is reliable. Highly recommended for outdoor and active use.

I've been using Shokz headphones since the original AfterShokz Titaniums, with the bulky speakers. These are genuinly some of the best non in-ear headphones I've ever had. The bass is warm and powerful with the right settings (ei, not outside where cars are driving pass), sound quality is a major step up from previous generations, charging is barely 20-30 mins to full, and the new design means there is no vibration felt. I'd say the only issue I have with them, and this issue is a result of the redesign positives, is that the new USB C charging and seperate bass means these are NOT waterproof. My original openruns were fully enclosed and magnetically charged, so after a day of work and running, i could dunk them into water or wash them in a running faucet no issue. These you have to be more careful with, as the charging port and bass speakers make them susceptable to water damage. A fair trade off, but keep that in mind.
