Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

I bought these headphones at Best Buy because I was tired of the traditional ones that have a cord and the Bluetooth ones too, they hurt my ears. These are great because they are lightweight ,sometimes I don't feel like I have them on and my ears don't hurt. So I can bend over and move around and jump around and they don't move off my head. The battery lasts me two days.

I work remote and I am on calls 80% of my day. This headset has saved me from headaches and not feel like I constantly have headphones on. They are light weight, the sound is awesome and the people on the other end cannot hear a thing in my background. I tested this to the max including running a vacuum. 100000% better than airpods or beats. The battery lasts me all day and I’m sure the next bit I always charge it at the end of the day. They also come with a hard shell protective case, high quality! I can easily swap fe my phone to my computer with a click, no more fighting with air pods with connecting to the wrong device and having to remove. I can’t say enough good things about my Shokz pro!

My favorite headphones of all time! I got them Christmas '23 and they hardly ever come off my head. Charge lasts so so long, so comfortable that I forget that they are on sometimes. I wish I had got the mini version because there is a little gap behind my head that bumps stuff sometimes (headrest in car), and makes wearing a beanie or hoodie less comfortable. The issue will not be an issue for most of the year in Texas so it's not a big deal. Sound quality is ok-good, def not excellent. They are not in your ear so they don't get loud enough to drown out other sounds sometimes. Call quality is good and people have no idea that I'm not holding the handset to my face. I would 100% purchase them again if I lost or broke them, the only change I would make is buying the Mini for my head size. I also 100 % recommend them as long as you don't need noise canceling. If you want all day comfort and all day battery then these things are for you!

For my particular needs these are the greatest headphones I've ever used. If your intent is to listen to music then there are definitely better choices to be had, but if you're like me and use the headset more for podcast or phone calls than look no further. The sound quality and volume are both adiquit enough to clearly make out whatever you choose to listen to. The microphone works extremely well, but where these really shine is with the level of comfort and the phenomenal battery life. I work in IT and am constantly answering calls or listening to podcasts all day long and never have to take them off due to discomfort or need to recharge. I actually own two pairs of these and never shut them off. I just swap them out on the charger in the morning before I go to work and the battery easily lasts until the same time the next day.

I have had my Shokz Open Run Pro headphones for 4 months now. I love these headphones. I use them at work in my hospital and kept in the on mode with no music on sometimes. When I get a call, the conversation is crisp and clear both from the headphones and microphone. I am heard well under an operating room mask with no problems. When I am watching a video or listening to music, the sound is amazing. The advantage of these non conduction headphones is I can hear when somebody wants my attention. The battery lasts all day and I sometimes charge them every other day since it’s good for at least 2 days of use. The headphones are comfortable and sometimes I forget they are on. I love these and highly recommend them.

My search for headphones/earbuds while I work is finally over! The audio during phone calls is phenomenal, music audio is sufficient, & they are ideal when working while you sweat. I love the fact that I no longer have to worry about adjusting them every few seconds because they keep moving around in my ear. The open ear design is truly liberating to combat the constant frustration that I just mentioned. Battery life & bluetooth pairing/connecting get two thumbs up for how accessible & reliant this product is. If you are looking for a pair of headphones/earbuds that are truly hands/worry free, these are the pair to get.

These Shokz - OpenRun Pro Premium Bone Conduction Open-Ear Sport Headphones are the best headphones ever. Very comfortable, easy to use, lightweight and great sound. It comes with a protective case. One simple button to answer and hang up calls. The volume up and down buttons also turn it on and off. Its hard to believe, that something that doesn't go in or over your ears, has such great sound. The charging cord is so easy to use. The charging end is magnetic so it just snaps on. When u charge it, a red light comes on. Then, when it's fully charged, a blue light comes on. They are lightweight. Sometimes I forget I'm wearing them.

I use these to mountain bike and they're the best solution to having music on the trail that I've found. I also like using them when working in the yard, as I like to still be aware of my surroundings. THINGS I LIVE BEST: 1) Comfort - the thinness around the ear makes wearing these, plus sunglasses, more comfortable than any other earphones I've used 2) Battery life is excellent - I've had plenty of battery left after 5 to 6 hour rides. Recharging is quick, too. 3) The controls are very easy to use. Better than my previous Bose and Airpods. 4) They stay where they're supposed to. WHAT COULD BE BETTER: 1) The sound quality diminishes once you get into the upper end of the volume. Not a huge deal because the whole point of these is to hear music and what's going on around you, so I don't use high volume unless I'm on a MTB only downhill only trail. My Bose that used similar technology had better sound but the part that wraps around your ear was bulky and caused pain and battery life wasn't good. 2) The carrying case is bulky enough that it would be great if you could charge these in the case itself. Seems it would be easy to build that into a case of this size. Yes, it would increase cost but I'd pay it. OVERALL: I've tried several brands and styles and these are my favorite. When you're on a bike for several hours, comfort, battery life and ease of operation get high priority. These check all the boxes. I'm a fan.

Real Estate Professional here. I walk into vacant home un-announced multiple times a day. Need to keep my wits about me! These headphones make that happen. You can press the button on the side and answer calls, activate Google Assistant (or Siri if Apple is your thing) to make phone calls, send text messages, etc. I even found an app that reads my notifications aloud so I never have to take my phone out of my pocket unless I want to see something on the screen. I was worried about sound quality but, after trying them, they greatly exceeded my expectations for the scenario I needed them for! . No complaints here! Even the call quality is more than acceptable. Battery life lasts me all day and into the next. Liked these so much I went out and bought the Opencomm 2 UC version for my zoom/google meet calls in the office. Awesome concept! You'll probably want a pair of Noise cancelling (ANC) headphones for those times you want to block out the world but, for the times you need to be aware of what's going on around you, these are the ticket!

I switched from Apple AirPods to this product and I couldn’t be happier. I have small ears so having these sit over my ears are perfect and do not cause any discomfort. I have used these in the hot sun running 10 miles by weekly and they stay in place and are sweat proof. Which is something I was looking for. The battery last long and only takes a quick five minutes charge for an hour. These are perfect for absolutely all my indoor and outdoor activities and very satisfying for a professional knowing I can listen to my favorite songs and still hear everything around me. The sound quality is better than Apple or Beats and is just right in terms of sound quality, base, and precision. My niece has hearing aids and was blown away at how well and comfortable these are when used while wearing hearing aids. She was in tears knowing that a company designed headphones for her needs. If I could give this product a 100 out of 10 I would. It is by far the best headphone on the market and is perfect for the outdoors ensuring you keep a piece of mind.

Great audio quality, exceeded expectations! Keeps ears healthy, open, & dry. Mic is great BUT susceptible to wind noise, fyi. Perfect for walking, running, and cycling! +2 stars: Mostly sweatproof! Not totally waterproof though.. +2 stars: Audio quality greatly exceeds expectation, especially compared to older Openrun and to other sports-style headphones & earbuds! +1 star: Battery life is fantastic!!! -1 star: fit is too tight on my very large head, clamps tightly -1 star: headband broke after 15 months of heavy use -1 star: microphones should be improved to eliminate wind noise! +2 stars: excellent customer service! Called Shokz & they are sending me a replacement pair after 15 months of use broke the headband. Overall great BUT especially if you have a larger head, look at the **brand new Openrun Pro2** that just came out - supposed to be better in all respects *AND* have reduced clamping force on your head!

I have pretty small ear holes and so earbuds easily fall out but with these being bone conduction they never fall off even when skateboarding and they allow me to hear my surroundings so I can stay active and safe I forget they are on my head at times because of how confortable they are and the battery life of 10 hours is more than enough to last me the day and it charges so fast I can take a shower and it will be at 100 I would definitely recommend this item to anybody

I love this headset! Once you've used a bone conduction headset, you won't want anything else. It uses the bones in your head to transmit the sound, leaving your ears open to hear ambient sound so it's safer for driving because you can still hear the important sounds around you. An added bonus is comfort. Instead of wearing something inside your ear, these wrap around your ears and rest in front of your ears. The sound quality is great. You can talk on the phone, listen to music, etc. You can also answer/hang up the phone from the headset. It has a pretty great range too. I can wear them all over my house and they connect to my phone without any problems. In short, I'll never go back to using traditional ear buds. These are way better!

Sound is impressive for an open ear headset. Bluetooth connection is seamless. I wish it could support more than one device (i.e. be connected to more than one device at the same time and you toggle between them to choose which one is active). My only complaint is that it is big. I should have gone for the smaller one for a snug compact fit. Even so this fits comfortably and I often forget that I have it on. I have it on together with my glasses with minimal adjustment. The battery lasts almost the whole day with heavy use. I've used longer lasting earpieces. On the flip side, it is fast charging. Ful charge in 10-15mins.

Shokz headsets offer a practical solution for people who want to enjoy audio without blocking out the world around them. Their bone conduction technology, combined with comfort, durability, and situational awareness, makes them an ideal choice for athletes, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who needs to stay aware of their surroundings while listening to music or taking calls.

I recently purchased these headphones, and I'm thoroughly impressed with their performance. The audio quality is exceptional, delivering crisp highs and deep, resonant lows. The noise isolation is effective, creating an immersive listening experience. Comfort is a standout feature; the plush ear cushions and adjustable headband make prolonged use a breeze. The build quality feels sturdy, and the foldable design adds convenience for storage and travel. Bluetooth connectivity is reliable, and the battery life exceeds expectations. The integrated controls are intuitive, allowing for easy playback and call management. Overall, these headphones offer a fantastic balance of sound quality, comfort, and convenience, making them a solid choice for music enthusiasts on the go.

Very good and sleek. It’s light and comfortable to wear for workouts. The sound quality is also amazing — plus it gives you awareness of the surroundings which should always be the case for outdoor running buds.

I love them, bought 2 pair, threw away my apple AirPods. Very comfortable, you forget you have them on. No inner ear irritation. Big plus, not gonna fall out of your ear. Seamless connect to 2 different devices.
