I recently bought the Shokz OpenRun headphones, and they’ve been a great investment. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and perfect for staying aware of my surroundings while listening to music or taking calls. Right out of the box, they felt well-built and super light. The flexible titanium frame provides a snug fit without discomfort, and pairing them with my phone was seamless. The sound quality is clear, with solid performance for an open-ear design, though bass is lighter than traditional headphones. Call clarity is excellent, and I appreciate being able to hear my surroundings. They stay secure during movement, and the 8-hour battery life with quick charging is a plus. Overall, they’re comfortable, durable, and ideal for active use. I’d definitely recommend them!

My review is based on MY needs for headphones. My airpods died and needed to replace them, and wasn't entirely happy with them. (battery life was terrible, etc). I was very skeptical about buying the Aeropex after reading some reviews, but realized the bad reviews looked to be people who bought these prior to doing any sort of research. If you want extreme bass, these are not for you. If you want noise cancellation or to NOT hear your surroundings, these are not for you. I use these for running/exercising. I expected the sound to be soft, and maybe even a little uncomfortable to wear, but couldn't have been more happy with them. They are very lightweight and don't even notice there are on, they are plenty loud for my needs - i want to hear my surroundings and my music, and these are perfect for that. Others wondered how they would fit with sunglasses or a hat, I live in FL and always run with sunglasses and a hat and doesn't get in the way at all. Whether I'm running by cars, in the woods, or on the beach, its great to be able to hear everything around me. If you want to block out the noise, they do come with ear plugs (which will also make the music louder if used). I have not used them for phone calls, and couldn't care less how the mic worked because that's not why I bought these. 8 hour battery life is also a huge plus because on my long runs, my airpods would eventually die before my run ended (and the battery slowly diminished after a year like typical apple products, and wouldn't replace or fix the issue) - The aeropex also come with a 2 year warranty

As an HVAC tech, I need to hear what’s going on around me—whether it’s a compressor cycling, a blower motor struggling, or just a coworker trying to get my attention. Traditional earbuds block out too much noise, and I got tired of constantly pulling them out. That’s where the Shokz OpenRun comes in, and honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever go back to regular headphones. Great for the Job Site These headphones use bone conduction, so they don’t go in your ears. That means I can listen to music, podcasts, or take calls while still hearing the system I’m working on. No more missing weird noises that could be a sign of trouble. Plus, they’re lightweight and super comfortable, so I forget I’m even wearing them. They also stay put—even when I’m climbing ladders, crawling through attics, or sweating on a rooftop. Speaking of sweat, they’re IP67 waterproof, so no worries about rain or getting a little grimy on the job. Calls come through clearly, and the mic does a good job of cutting out background noise when I need to talk. Awesome for Hiking & Walking Outside of work, I love using these for hiking and walking. Since they don’t block my ears, I can still hear traffic, people, or wildlife around me. No more surprises from a fast-moving biker on the trail! The 8-hour battery life is solid, and a quick charge gives me enough juice if I forget to top them off. Final Thoughts If you work in a field that requiresyou be aware of your suroundings, these are a game-changer. You can stay aware while still getting great audio. And if you’re someone who likes to be outside, these are perfect for staying safe while listening to whatever you want. Definitely worth it! Rating: 5/5 – Perfect for work and play!

I love that I can run without them falling off or flopping around. The sound is great. I've had them for just over 2 years and they get used vwry frequently. My button cover just recently fell off one day when I was working out and didn't realize it. But it still works great.

Great sound quality, battery life and really comfortable to use them at any time
