Shokz - OpenRun Pro Premium Bone Conduction Open-Ear Sport Headphones - Black

Been using this at work for an about a month or when taking to people. It’s a strange but good feeling to hear the music and talk at the same time. It’s obviously not as good as actually having earphones in your ear but the quality and sound are still very good and clear. Battery life is very good and can last for hours. You can talk on them and listen to music and videos clearly. Charging is very fast as well. Great at listening at medium and low levels. Stays on the ears very well and stays on without issues and feels comfortable. Above medium volume starts drowning out all noise. All in all very satisfied.

This is my third pair of Shokz -Open Run Bone Conduction Headphones! My son bought my first pair of Shokz four years ago and I fell in love with them becauseI do not like anything poking into my ears or covering my ears. They are ultra comfortable because they are so lightweight that sometimes I forget that I'm wearing them. They give "surround sound" quality yet I can still hear what is going on around me. That is perfect for when I'm wearing them outside while working in my garden or going for a walk. I really like how I can use the hands free microphone to record audio for videos that I make with my cellphone. It is so easy to connect the magnetic charging port which charges super fast and lasts for several hours. It's really nice that the headphones actually talk to let me know the battery level and when it's time to charge. All in all, I am lifelong Shokz customer and I'm excited to see what new features my next set will have!

Having worn these day after day for about a month I’ve noticed a few things that I’d like to expand upon. First of all comfort, They take some getting used to in the beginning as you’ll get a tickle on your cheek bones with bass or other loud noises. If worn too much I notice an uncomfortable ache in my ear that’s probably from the pressure and vibration that I’m not accustomed to. Then there’s sound quality. In noisy areas they are almost useless, I’ve found having an ear plug in or just sticking my finger in my ear helps the bone conduction relay the sound to my ear drum, again for noisy areas. When in a generally noise free area the headphones work great. When talking on the phone I’ve noticed the microphones limit the background noise making your voice #1. If you’re in the bathroom the person on the other end might hear an echo. I can wear them all day without needing a charge. I listen to podcasts, books, news and social media. I’ve even used them at work where “headphones aren’t allowed” and gotten a pass from the boss because they leave my ears open to my environment. Overall they have a great look and they wear really well. If you’re looking for an open ear concept this is the brand for sure.

The OpenRun Pro by Shokz is the first pair of wireless earbuds I've owned. I was looking for a more affordable alternative to the more popular brands, and I found it with no compromises. The flexible band makes it surprisingly durable while contouring to any wearer's head. It is very light and confortable, and can be worn for hours, with more than enough battery to match. I was skeptical about bone conduction sound transfer at first, but found that it provides great sound quality despite the earpiece not being directly inside the ear (which also keeps it cleaner). An integrated voice narrates actions (i.e. volume up or powering off) and notifies you about the device's battery state upon start-up and during use. The Shokz OpenRun Pro is equipped with a magnetic charging port (charger included), a charge level indicator LED, physical volume +/- buttons (right side, worn), and a single multifunction control button (left side, worn) that can pause, play, skip, backtrack, answer calls, and more. I highly recommend reading the owner's manual more than a few times to get familiar with this device's operation (especially the multifunction button) and proper care procedures. I haven't experienced any malfunctions even though it's been dropped twice, and after owning for four months I can say that I've been really pleased with its performance. I still have yet to utilize all of the capabilities in the feature-rich OpenRun Pro, and all in all, it's a very solid choice for anyone looking for affordable bluetooth media!

These are the best. They are stylish comfortable around my ears and the clarity is Awesome. Love they come in different colors. I love that they don't have to go into my ears which i hate. They sit perfectly on the outter ear and I can ear my phone and my surroundings. These are by farbthe best ear piece ever.
