Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was excited to use these OpenRun Pro 2’s by Shokz, as I had heard so much about them. Visually, they look “basic”, nothing really exciting about them other than that large band that will wrap around the back of your neck/base of your head. I put them on and I immediately knew they were not going to work. There is this large gap for the loop over my ears and rest outside the tragus (flap of cartilage in front of the ear canal) portion of the ear. They do not go inside the ear canal like traditional over-ear or in-ear earbuds. The purpose is for you to be completely aware of your surroundings if you are jogging, hiking, cycling and there are multiple points of danger around you. At the same time, you are able to listen comfortably to your music or podcasts, etc. The problem with me is the loop is so large that it rests way ahead of my tragus and I am not able to hear much of anything, even at full audio level. The loop does not conform whatsoever with my ears, I guess I have small ears? Even the band that goes at the back of the neck rests comfortably there but I was hoping there was an option to shorten it so that it can be snug around there. I’ve tried running outside with these on and I am able to hear about 50% of the content I had playing. At times, because they are on the larger side, they move up and down the ear and so I am afraid they are going to fall off. If I hold on to them with my hands and kind of move them back towards the canal, then I can get a more richer sound. Battery life is actually really good for these, as they lasted around 12 hours on my battery test. That is actually excellent compared to my other ear-buds that I own and use. Sound quality is not great as they sound tinny and not enough base. I would have liked to have louder volume on these. Overall, I do not believe that these OpenRun Pro 2’s are meant for me. They are just too large and don’t fit my head/ears. As a result I am not able to hear much of anything I am trying to listen to. Yes, they do allow me to be more aware of my surroundings, but I might as well be listening to my phone on speaker.

Amazing customization in the Shokz app. I like being able to turn on the classic only bone conduction if I don’t want the speakers to play. The OGs came with ear plugs and I use some called loops and the sound is just amazing with mowing without blasting over headphones and getting hot ears. I have always had trouble with all types of in ear ear buds hurting my ears after 30 mins of wear. These are so light I forget I’m wearing them when I pause my music. The battery life and recharge are some of the best!

I love these headphones. Most others fall off of my head really easily, but these stay in place. They don't hurt after wearing a long time either. My favorite benefit is being able to hear what's happening around me without it interfering with the sound quality.

Luv em… good sound quality comfortable, good battery life and charges quick

These are comfortable to wear, extremely stable during exercise, and best of all I avoid the discomfort of having something in my ear for extended periods of time. Battery life is very good, app is easy to use. Don’t expect sound cancellation, but do expect awareness of your surroundings and very good sound quality.

So I went out of state and left my charging cable at home. So had to get another. Cable wasnt available so purchased the next version of my original headphones. Not 100% sure how, but these sound way better than my old ones. I am loving the sound quality of these.

I think this headphones are perfect for my cause ,which is running the shockz are super comfortable and the battery life is amazing.just wish they could be a little louder at times .

I like how it fits . I use it for work, biking, running and working out. Battery last long and charges pretty quick . Love the color .

These are great headphones for outdoor exercise when you need to be aware of your surroundings. Also great for doing yard work, auto work or anything that requires bending down. Too often my iPods have fallent out around the yard. Sound, comfort, USB-C, it checks all the boxes except one, I miss the full Siri intergration like my iPods Pro! I didnt realize how much I used Siri but I’m ok for the tradeoff for right now. If I want full isolation and sound cancelation I switch to my iPod Pros.

had the last OpenRun model which were fine but I lost them. these are not a big difference but they have good sound quality, are comfortable to wear to gym and while walking around, and bone conduction works well to transmit sound while still letting you hear outside noise. much better for road safety compared to crossing the street with earbuds/headphones. charge time and hours of use on one charge are pretty accurate.

I use these in an office setting and they work amazing. Able yo listen to music, take ohone calls and still hear what is going on in the office. Plenty of battery life and can connect 2 devices at once.

These wireless headphones offer great sound quality, comfortable fit, and reliable battery life. They connect easily and are perfect for music, calls, and everyday use

Great for running! Good base and sound quality while working out. I feel safe hearing my surroundings!

I really enjoy my open run 2. It has amazing sound quality. I was skeptical at first but they have really change my mind about bone conductivity. It kinda feels like im at a concert when im listening to them on account in can feel the air pressure differences with my ears being unblocked by traditional ear buds.

Calls and media are clear I don't have to ask anyone to repeat what they said. They are comfortable and fit well And they don't lose charge quickly I'm happy with them.

My husband loves these. Audio is great, they are lightweight and holds charge. Would most definitely recommend!

I have been using the first generation of the OpenRun Pro for running and walking for about two years now, and I decided to see if this new version made them better- the answer is absolutely YES. Battery life is a little bit better, the fit and comfort are still just as good, but the sound is markedly better. Music and voice are clearer and richer, and this version avoids the vibration feeling you could get with the previous generation. On my runs I listen to audiobooks, podcasts, and music, and these headphones do well with all of them. You will still get better sound from high-quality earbuds or over-ear headphones, but if you want to still be able to hear around you for safety, like I do on runs, these are great.

Very comfortable open ear design. Light weight i sometimes forget I'm wearing them. Easy setup and good sound quality. Great customer service.

Comfortable and easy to use. They connect with no issue and the battery life is amazing

Really like them, the souls is really good .. they are not your over the ear xlassic headphones sound , I have those too. I use them but I find I use these more, as I'm waiting for a phone call and don't want to miss it while I'm streaming from my tablet while listening by Bluetooth headphones I reach for these during the day. I highly recommend, I can be on my phone and still hear what is around me, that is excellent. Makes it an excellent choice, You can listen to your music, scroll Soc. Med., listen to an Audiobook, or a YT video, in a public setting, still be aware and able to hear if someone is addressing you, all while being courteous to everyone around you by wearing headphones...these help you...stay in the world... Not check out... Because sometimes you need to still hear what's going on around you for any number of reasons. I also got the swimmers pro, which also has its own storage, if you need to save battery or have limited data plan.
