I love these headphones. They allow me to listen to music and still hear what is going on around me as I walk outdoors or inside on a treadmill. The mini size is just enough smaller they fit me very well. The controls are small but once you get used to them, they are easy to operate. The pause button is easy to find if you stop to talk to someone and want to stop the music. I was very happy to discover these as I do not like to put in ear buds and not be aware of my surroundings. I play XM satellite radio and the sound quality is excellent on the headphones. It did take me a little time to get used to the stereo differences between both ears but it is not an issue anymore. This is a great product and has been well worth the cost.

No complaints. Clear sound when wearing around the house or running. No problem connecting. Really nice to be able to hear the environment at the same time. I would say the input is 80% speaker 20% ambient when listening at a reasonable volume. Stay put when running. Very light.

I actually use these as a medical device (not medical advice). I have severe tinnitus and I wear these 24/7. I use them to play a masking track which helps me forget the tinnitus. I can sleep in them and the battery lasts for longer than 18 hours at lower volumes. They are so lite I can't tell I am wearing them after a little bit. They are literal life savers. I am on my second pair in 4 years. The first one only broke the band in the back because I sleep on them, which is not their intended use. Highly recommend. Great mid-range and high-range audio quality. Not gonna get you bass, but no bone conductor really does.

This is a great bone conduction bluetooth headphone. It fits well, even when lying down. The sound quality and battery life are also good, plus being able to listen to conversations while listening to music.

I can’t say enough good about these babies! Super light, durable, long lasting battery life… sometimes I forget I even have them, on that’s how comfortable they are to me. Will never switch back to in-ear headphones again:

Please read.. I know its wordy Shokz open-run’s are great. (ONLY The open-run pro’s and open-comm’s come with a hard case). I bought them for a summer group project. I originally bought shocks open-comm after about 10 minutes of use, I was asked to return them. People on the other end of the microphone had issue with quality. I returned open-comm immediately and bought both shokz open move and open run for only $10.00 more. The receiving end is exactly the same as open-comm without the added annoyance. Pros: -They fit better around the neck -they are one piece -can be kept around your neck -comfortable for very long periods of time -no issues with different lengths of hair -my son can easily put them in his pocket if teachers want them put away -mitigate wax build up -can still hear your surroundings Cons: -does not have an internal locator/tracking (example:find my). This is probably my largest problem with these. -requires a special charger difficult and expensive to find -no hard case -After the revamping, the quality has significantly decreased. The person on the receiving end of the call notices the most, but still the pros outweigh the cons. I bought these because other members in my extended family raved about them (17 people). Apparently, i was really behind the family trend. They all have Aftershokz (old design) in various models prior to the rebranding… I was allowed to borrow Aftershokz Aeropex for the afternoon. No issues with the output/input. No complaints on the receiving end either. I wish the new ones had the same quality with the microphone. FYI… I did not get the headphones to use for regular phone call use to begin with. I got them because of wax build up in ears, soreness, and to monitor my kids hearing a little better. I know that if i have to yell at them to hear me they have the sound up to high. So… the decision is yours, but this has been our experience. The kids like them better for over all use. Easy to use, small, gym, playing around/light running (i wont let them horse play/fight while wearing), mic records well enough and didn’t pick up background noise, can still hear when the teacher is talking, and is one solid piece. (8-21 year old boys)

Best buds I've ever bought They're lightweight and comfortable they hold a great charge they sound amazing they're worth the money

Sound quality is excellent including battery life, they do sound louder than I was expecting too which is a win, also they are very comfortable

I love this product. I’m. Disable person, which I can’t hold a phone to my ear, Aftershoz stays in place and won’t move unless I takes it off. The battery is 6 to 8 hours talk time. You can pair & answer devices with the button on the bottom. Or the device itself. This is a MUST have for me. It’s expensive but worth it to me.

I am quite the annoyed runner,which means during long runs when I begin to sweat,I get annoyed when my earbuds slip out and I am constantly press them back in.This fixes everything and allows me to also hear and be alert to the surrounds.Battery life is maybe a little under 3 hrs so They should be recharged after long usage. IF YOU ARE A RUNNER,A MUST TRY!

Best headphones I have ever purchased by far. The battery life says something like 8 hours but for me where I don't have something playing most of the time the battery could last up to 12 hours which I really love. The fact that they don't go in my actual ear is amazing because my ears are very sensitive and I struggle wearing regular inner ear headphones and other types of over ear headphones are too bulky to wear comfortably long term but these are so light weight I forget I'm even wearing them sometimes. Another bonus is that they won't interfere with glasses- I wear my headphones with my regular plastic frames as well as my bulky plastic sunglasses and both fit just as comfortably. One of the best parts is that the call quality is better using my headphones than if I were to use my actual phone. The only *potential* down side I have had with them in the last year that I have owned them is that sometimes they drop connection to my device- this can last for a few seconds or I have to reset either my phone or the headphones to reconnect them but it happens very infrequently and could ALSO be resulting as an issue from my phone and not from the headphones themselves.

I had the first model, back when the brand was still called AfterShokz. I had the original size, and the band on the back would always bother me. It wasn't until the Openmove that I got after broke that I finally decided to buy the mini version. The sound quality is better, but the volume feels quieter. But the way the band sits on the back of my neck feels perfect. It doesn't even feel like I'm waering the headset.

These are the best Shokz to buy at the time of this review! The sound is loud enough as intended to help you stay aware of your surroundings. Although I’m sure we all could use a bit more volume I have not had to use these past 75%-80% on the majority of occasions using them. These are the most comfortable almost truly wireless bone conduction headphones out at the time. The titanium band is very durable and flexible as described by the company. These are definitely waterproof, though not to be used while swimming. The IP67 waterproof rating is definitely able to handle rain as well as the shower. Compared to the OpenRun Pro I would still choose these as there is only a slight spec bump in battery improvements, however you lose the waterproof rating. The sound is pretty much comparable to the Pro version, however the connectivity could definitely be improved by moving to 5.2 Bluetooth audio or higher. I’ve experienced the audio going out completely while on calls. All I had to do was switch to the phone or speaker and then back to the OpenRun headphones to fix the issue. It shouldn’t happen, but hasn’t been a dealbreaker. If you are between buying these versus the OpenRun Pro version save a bit by going for these instead. I’ve had both and went back to these as there isn’t very much difference and because I valued the waterproofing more.

If you are like me and the thought of putting things in your ears freaks you out this is the ticket! Bought them 6 months ago I’ve only ever taken them off for charging, showers, and sleeping. The volume is good, comfort is excellent. The bass is diminished compared to ear buds I’ve tried but personally I would sacrifice bass for not having to actually put something in my ear. I use them at work, at the gym, and pretty much everywhere else I go. I have a large head and the mini fits great. I sweat alot! Not only are these sweat resistant they are very easy to keep clean. I recommend them to everyone I know! Also if you are like me and you put special things special places so that you don’t lose them and then forget where that special place was, buy yourself an additional charging cable it is specific to this brand of headset.

I absolutely love these. Regular headphones and ear buds fall out and end up hurting my ears over time so I'm very happy i've found these! I love that you are able to hear your surroundings while listening to music or talking on the phone since at my place of work I need to be able to hear when people are calling for me. I recommend these to everyone! They are very comfortable and stay in place whether you're moving around a lot or even running. The sound quality is really good and the battery life is amazing. I'm constantly switching back and forth connecting them from my laptop to phone and the transition to connect from one to the other is easy as well. 10/10 recommend

Great sound, easy to pair, doesn’t go into ear itself

I was very excited to get these and move on to something different from AirPods. The OpenRuns fit very well and and connected to my iPhone quickly. I loved how there was nothing on or in my ears and the sound quality was good enough for my needs...I'm no audiophile. These were great around the house and on jogs in the neighborhood. I do a lot of treadmill running as well and this was the downfall for my OpenRuns. I thought for sure I had the volume too low, but it was maxed out and I could barely understand podcasts/music. These things just can't pump out enough decibels to compete with treadmill noise. I tried to make them work for several days, but ended up returning them. For relatively quiet environments and no treadmill jogging (maybe walking?) the OpenRuns work well. For noisier places, go with something else.

Ridiculously happy with this product. Sound quality is great and they are so comfortable, I forget I have them on. Great for hands free phone calls as well. Overall great product.

Sound great and fit great. Battery last for ever and it’s waterproof.
