Customer Ratings & Reviews

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)

The SHOKZ OpenRun 2 headphones are extremely comfortable. Unlike my previous in-ear headphones, which were easy to lose, these don’t go inside your ear. You can hear your surroundings while listening, and if you want, you can increase the volume for more isolation. Even when talking with background noise, they block external sounds well. The orange color is exactly as pictured and described. They’re comfortable for everyday use, easy to connect to any device, and perfect for work. I’ve used them for over six months, and our family now owns three pairs—one for each member. It’s important to choose the right size: mini or standard. The mini works best for us, while the standard may feel large depending on personal comfort. Overall, I really like these headphones and highly recommend them.

Great sound, very comfortable to wear, battery seems to last forever, extremely easy to pair and talking on the phone i hear great and so far no complaints from the other end even when I am somewhere noisy.

I bought these initially to go cycling, I wanted to listen to podcasts and audiobooks while still being able to hear everything around me. I own a pair of Apple AirPod Pro 2’s and they were alright in transparency mode but not quite the same as open ear headphones. Since I got these, I haven’t used my AirPods again. I love them for biking, they fit over my ears with my glasses and helmet no problem. Whenever I wear in-ear headphones I always have to adjust them periodically, and that is gone with these headphones, I wear them for hours and only occasionally remember they’re there, which is great for doing chores around the house or when working at my desk. The sound quality is acceptable to me, I don’t have any complaints (but I’m also not very picky.) One note for anyone on the edge, my local BestBuy had display units in store to try these out to gauge the fit and sound quality for yourself, which is was pushed me over the edge to buy them.

I’ve been using the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Mini for a few weeks now and I’m really impressed. The sound quality is noticeably better than previous bone conduction models—there’s actually some decent bass now! The Mini size fits my head perfectly and stays in place, even during runs or workouts. I love the open-ear design—it keeps me aware of my surroundings without sacrificing audio quality. Battery life is great, and I’m so glad they finally switched to USB-C charging. My only small complaint is that the mic could be clearer on calls, but for music and podcasts, these are absolutely worth it. If you’re active and want headphones that keep you safe and comfortable, these are a solid choice.

This will be our second pair of these headphones. These are the Mini versions for my wife as they fit her better, but the feature set is the same across normal and Mini versions. The sound quality is fantastic for their purpose. Much better low-end than the previous iteration, although that is because they now have dual drivers to not only rely on bone-conduction. Overall, if the previous gen tickled too much because of the bone conduction, these will likely resolve that. And as a pro, you can switch these back to only utilizing bone conduction if you really want that. Battery life is really good, but it likely won’t be as good as some other headphones like the Beats Pro 2

Pain-free, comfy, nothing goes inside ear, no earwax, comfy with glasses, not too tight, stays on snug, but you cannot lean head back to rest against pillow behind head

I have a small head and ears this fits perfect. Sound, quality and length of charge is fantastic. Ive never been able to use tech since it normally doesn't fit. Im so excited. I use it all of the time now! Definitely worth every penny

The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Mini delivers an outstanding combination of comfort, safety, and performance. The bone conduction technology allows me to enjoy music and calls while staying fully aware of my surroundings—a must for running or cycling outdoors. The Mini version is a perfect fit if you prefer a slightly smaller frame; it sits securely without shifting, even during long workouts. They’re incredibly lightweight, and after a few minutes, you barely notice you’re wearing them. Sound quality is excellent for bone conduction—clear mids, balanced bass (noticeably deeper than older Shokz models), and crisp vocals. While it won’t match in-ear monitors for deep bass, the tradeoff for situational awareness is well worth it. Battery life is also impressive, easily lasting through long runs or a full day of casual use. The quick-charge feature is convenient if you forget to top up before heading out. Another plus is the open-ear design, which prevents ear fatigue and discomfort, making them ideal for extended use. They’re also sweat-resistant, so no worries during intense training.

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.

I had to stop wearing earbuds because I would her ear aches all the time. Since I purchased these I havent had any problems. Also, they sound great and fit well. I had to get the mini’s for the snug fit I like.

Bought as a present for my wife. She has a tiny head and this product fits perfectly. Audio quality is good, connectivity is good. Altought everything is good, i do not recommend them for gym workouts, as the music in the gym is generally loud and these dont cancel outside noise... which is the point.

I loved these headphones for their good sound and I could last a long time with them on, they weigh little and the battery charge lasts a long time

Pretty good. I like the tighter fit behind the head. Sound is better than my last set. Feels lighter too. However I do miss the magnetic charging cable and the smaller ear pieces from my previous model. The app makes it slightly easier to know what is happening with the headset. Still a good purchase.

Great product and thoroughly enjoy wearing them for physical activities or around the home completing chores. The sound quality is surprisingly decent considering the design vs in or over ear design. There are trade offs but the trade offs are worth it, to me, personally. Battery life exceeds expectations, sound quality is great but not black magic amazing, comfort is amazing, controls are easy to navigate. Overall, yes, I highly recommend these if you can sacrifice sound quality for comfort and peace of mind when exercising.

I have only had them for a few weeks but so far I love them. They are comfortable, super clear sound and quality, and don’t move around. Definitely recommend

A friend recommended these and I absolutely love them. They are comfortable and quality is remarkable as well. I have six sets of AirPods and beats ear buds that I have lost one of the ear buds. Not to mention the several times I have washed an earbud. I don’t have that issue anymore. They last all day and I listen to music and ebooks most of the day.

Comfort, easy to control. Liggt weight. Greatbsound

As a runner, these are so much better than AirPods! They won't make your ears sweaty/wet and won't fall off either. For those who run without a phone and connect their music from their watch to a Bluetooth headset, this is so much better than AirPods because you can control the volume.

Very pleased with the comfort and sound. I replaced a set that has trouble connecting to my watch. This one workes ver reliably
