Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve owned the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Mini bone conduction headphones for about a month now, and they’ve completely changed how I listen to audio while staying active. Whether I’m running, biking, or just walking the dog, these headphones are exactly what I didn’t know I needed. They strike a near-perfect balance between situational awareness and high-quality sound, all while staying incredibly comfortable. I opted for the Mini version because I have a smaller head and wanted a more snug fit. That choice paid off. These sit securely without ever feeling tight or shifting out of place, even during intense workouts. The lightweight design makes them easy to forget you’re wearing, and there’s no pressure on the ears like traditional earbuds. If you’re someone who’s had discomfort with in-ear or over-ear headphones during exercise, these are absolutely worth considering. The bone conduction tech might sound gimmicky at first, but it’s actually super practical. The transducers rest just in front of your ears, which means your ear canals are open and free to hear everything around you—traffic, people, announcements at the gym. This is especially important for outdoor running and cycling where safety is a concern. I feel much more aware of my environment while still enjoying my music or podcasts. Sound quality was my biggest concern going in, but the OpenRun Pro 2 Mini has really impressed me. For bone conduction, the audio is surprisingly rich. Bass response is stronger than I expected, and voices come through clean and clear. Are they going to compete with audiophile headphones? No—but that’s not the point. These are designed for active use, and for that purpose, they sound fantastic. I’ve taken calls with them too, and the microphone quality is solid—people on the other end had no trouble hearing me, even with some wind in the background. Battery life is another win. I typically use them for about an hour or two each day, and I only need to charge them once a week, sometimes even less. Shokz claims 10 hours of use per charge, and that feels accurate. Even better, there’s a quick charge feature that gives you a good hour or so of playback with just a few minutes of charging. That’s saved me more than once when I forgot to plug them in the night before. Bluetooth connection is rock solid. It pairs instantly with my phone and has never dropped mid-workout. The onboard buttons for volume and play/pause are easy to locate and use without looking, and I appreciate that I don’t have to reach for my phone to change tracks or answer a call. Pros: • Open-ear comfort – No pressure on ears and fits snugly, especially with the Mini size • Situational awareness – You can hear your surroundings without losing your music • Surprisingly good sound – Strong bass and clear vocals for bone conduction tech • Long battery life – Easily lasts through the week with regular use • Quick charge feature – Fast top-ups when you’re in a rush • Reliable Bluetooth – Instant pairing and stable connection • Lightweight and secure – Doesn’t move during intense activity Cons: • Sound leaks a bit at higher volumes – Not a big deal outdoors, but noticeable in quiet settings • Not ideal in very loud environments – Background noise can overpower your audio • Buttons can feel a little small if you’re wearing gloves – Minor issue, but worth noting Final Thoughts: After a month of using the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Mini, I’m seriously impressed. They’re well-designed, functional, and a joy to use during any kind of physical activity. If you value comfort, safety, and audio quality while on the move, these are absolutely worth the price. They’ve become a permanent part of my workout routine—and honestly, I’m not sure how I managed without them.

Good quality sound and able to her what around you the mic works excellent I have bout some different brands payed up to 100 bucks but these blowed them out of the water I use the every day for work and at home I have a blue parrot head set for driving a truck I think these are a lot better I don’t use my blue parrot anymore I whether use my shozk open run pros 2 they have a better fit,sound,the mic is perfect I’m glad I have bought they and would recommend other people to use them I have told a lot of my friends about them. These are the best one I had ever bought

I love my shockz headphones! This is my 3rd pair! The sound quality is amazing. I use them at work and no one can hear my music even when the'yre next to me. I definitely recommend!

Great alternative to in ear and full ear headphones. With the upgraded version you don’t feel the vibration as much which makes it comfortable to use for several hours. Multiple devices can be connected at the same time. The only downside is you can’t block the outside noise.

I have had well over 50 sets of earbuds of all types. I love the Openrun Pros but even after 3 replacements in a couple months these Openrun Pro 2s are to me a downgrade from the Op3nrun Pros but still awesome

These are the most versatile headphones I’ve ever used. They fit nicely over my glasses. A little lighter would be a plus.

I bought my openrun pro 2 minis about three weeks ago and I have absolutely loved them! They’re so comfortable and the sound is so much better than i imagined! Going on my outdoor runs with these makes me feek safe knowing I can hear whats happening while still enjoying my music or listening to podcasts during my runs. Super happy and I have recommended them to a lot of people so far!

Highly recommend the Shokz! Great sound and lightweight.

I really love these headphones nothing to dislike about them.

I've seen and heard the bone conduction headphones in the past, and listened to Shokz, Bose, and Sony's for a long time. The OpenRun Pro 2's (regular and mini) are amazing. The minis are comfortable around my ears and are not very heavy. The key to these headphones vs. the original OpenRun Pro (or any other non-Shokz headphones) is that these include a traditional speaker for sound in the lower frequencies (think bass) via a woofer. Previous versions of these would rattle or vibrate excessively against your head as it tried to produce bass via bone conduction. It would eventually give people headaches. My wife didn't like the original pair, but I purchased these and the rattling vibration is completely gone. What you do get is a decent lasting battery, comfortable sitting, and an unobtrusive pair of headphones with excellent sound and yet you can carry a conversation on with people around you. After having these for a while, I would not hesitate in recommending Shokz 2's to anyone who loves quality audio, good quality devices with sound control for running or any other athletic activity (except swimming, check out the Shokz OpenSwim)

I bought these to use while sleeping. Sound quality is great and I can sleep for hours without any discomfort. I can barely feel them on and I have no problem hearing other sounds. Due to the sounds quality, I now use them for watching tv and gaming as well, as the battery life is insanely awesome! Watch tv and game for a couple of hours followed by 10+ hours sleeping and battery life is still medium. I rarely use the microphone (gaming), so I don't know how much heavy use has on battery life. Using the Shokz app, it can be paired to two devices at the same time. Very cool feature, I can change settings via the phone app while still listening to the tv/game.

Loving the lightweight feel. Glad i bought the mini, a great fit. The new additions to the bass, air induction and magnetic buds really make a real difference. These get used every day and loving them.

My daughters gave it to me this Christmas and I am very happy. They are light in weight, excellent sound, you can hear everything around you. They are excellent. I recommend them.

My wife loves them , highly recommend this product , very comfortable, lightweight and sound awesome

Very good sound quality, just barely washed out but they're not in ear buds. The dual drivers in this version make them very thick, but the sound quality is pretty worth it, especially because you can wear them while working or in class and still hear people. They feel very nice and most times I forget they're on.

These headphones are amazing. Im deaf in one of my ears, these headphones allow me to hear music perfectly and talking on the phone with ease out of that ear. I was skeptical but i wear them 10+ hrs a day at work and they are amazing. Great battery life, fit, and look.

Really great sound quality without the weird vibrations of the earlier model. Really like having the smaller form factor to go around my neck. great for running or being on a business call when you need to be aware of your surroundings. Still great sound quality

I’ve been using the Shoz Open Pro 2 for a few weeks now, and it’s easily one of the best open-ear headphones I’ve tried. The combination of sound quality, comfort, and safety makes it ideal for everything from commuting and working out to long conference calls. The open-ear design is a game changer. It allows me to stay aware of my surroundings while still enjoying clear and immersive audio. Unlike traditional earbuds, these don’t cause ear fatigue, and they stay comfortably in place even during runs or cycling. Sound-wise, the Shoz Open Pro 2 delivers crisp mids, solid bass (especially for an open-ear model), and clear voice calls. I was pleasantly surprised by the built-in microphone—it picks up my voice clearly even in windy or noisy environments. Battery life is another strong point. I get a full day of moderate use without needing a recharge, and the quick charging feature is a nice bonus. If you’re looking for a high-performance open-ear headphone that balances comfort, safety, and sound, the Shoz Open Pro 2 is an excellent choice

The sound on these is amazing, and since they do not actually go inside my ears, my ears don't hurt or become fatigued. The sound quality is outstanding, and the bass hits so good.

I always had issues with in-ear headphones. They bother me; they fall off when I talk or eat, etc. My friend suggested trying these, and I was amazed! Yes. This is not a hi-end sound, but it is good enough to enjoy music and have a conversation. At the same time, you will always be aware of your surroundings, which is vital in the office or on the run.
