Customer Ratings & Reviews

They're super light and comfy, so you can wear them for hours without any ear fatigue. Plus, they handle sweat and a bit of rain without an issue. The battery life is solid, and the quick-charge feature is a lifesaver.

Shokz are great! Lightweight, go anywhere, great sound, and easy connection to Bluetooth. I use them daily and really like how discrete they are.

I’ve been using the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 for a few weeks now, and they’ve completely changed how I think about workout headphones. The bone conduction technology really delivers — I can clearly hear my music and podcasts while still being fully aware of my surroundings, which is a big plus for running or cycling outdoors. The Steel Blue color looks sleek and stands out just enough without being flashy. The fit is secure and comfortable, even during long sessions — no ear fatigue, no slipping, and I forget they’re even there after a few minutes. Sound quality has noticeably improved from previous models. The bass response is stronger, and the midrange clarity is great for both music and calls. While they’ll never hit the deep bass of in-ear headphones, the tradeoff for comfort and situational awareness is absolutely worth it. Battery life is excellent — around 9–10 hours on a full charge, and the quick charge feature is a lifesaver when you need to top up before a workout. The controls are intuitive, and Bluetooth connectivity has been flawless with my phone and watch. If you’re someone who runs, bikes, or just prefers open-ear comfort and awareness, the OpenRun Pro 2 is one of the best you can get right now. Pros: Outstanding comfort and secure fit Great sound for bone conduction Quick charging and long battery life Safer for outdoor workouts Sleek, durable build Cons: Not ideal for very noisy environments Pricey compared to standard earbuds

I bought the orange Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 wireless bone-conducting headphones for my husband, and they’ve been an absolute game changer. He’s a roadside diesel service technician and spends hours on the road every day. These headphones let him stay fully connected with dispatch hands-free, all while still being able to hear what’s going on around him — which is incredibly important for staying safe while working along busy highways. The sound quality is excellent, the fit is comfortable enough for all-day wear, and the battery easily keeps up with his long shifts. The bright orange color has actually been a huge bonus too — it makes them easy to spot so he isn’t constantly misplacing them when he’s home. If you work in a loud or high-risk environment and need something that delivers clear calls without blocking out your surroundings, these are absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

First time having bone headphones. Pretty Awesome. I mainly use these for exercising and riding the bike. Pros: The headphones sit well on the head. Don't have any real irritating feeling when wearing them long term. The sound is just fine. When wearing headphones to work out or ride I'm not looking for crisp sound. However, the sound quality that you get from these is really good. Dont sound that distorted as other reviews state. When riding the bike you do hear the wind in the ear which does cause the music not to be heard or as clear. But that is to be expected, not to mention when riding you want to be aware of your surroundings. Which is PERFECT for these headphones. They keep me in the grove while helping me stay aware of what's going on. If you are looking for noise-canceling headphones then these are not for you. The battery on these puppies last! The first day after a full charge lasted me 7hrs before I turned them off. Now that's awesome especially when you go on those 100-mile rides! Cons: when talking on the phone, it can get a bit difficult for other people to hear you if you have a lot of noise going around, and vis for versa for you hearing them. But if you are in a quiet office space, then I don't see any issues using these for calls.

I tried these on at a running store and was blown away with how good they sounded for being an open ear headphone. I have tried many open ear models over the years and none have been very good, especilly with bass. The last time I tried Shokz was 2018 and they were horrifically bad. But the Open Run 2 model is straight up incredible. The sound is clear and crisp with great bass. They are also super loud. Half volume or less on my Garmin Fenix 7 is plenty. The comfort is also very good. Even with a hat and glasses on, they feel great and stay in the right position. I couldnt be more pleased from a sound and comfort perspective. From a safety perspective, these are not as safe as other open ear headphones. Since most (if not all) of the sound is coming from the external speaker instead of bone conduction, it makes it substantially harder to hear external noise at the same volume. The volume has to be turned way down for them to be legitimately safe vs in-ear headphones. Safety concerns aside, these are a fantastic pair of excercise headphones, especilly for running. These are a substantial upgrade for me from the Bose Quiet Comfort.

When you wear this, it fits really well on the ear, and you would notice it is barely there (it feels like it). Until you turn on your best audio track. This packs a puch, you dont expect it to beat any of the audiophile cans, but the sound is immersive and satisfying. You wear it for a run or take your kids to the park, uou will hear the surroundings and the kids playing, yet the music is immersive. After wearing it for long time You notice there is no fatigue at all. Loving it so far. Baytery is good last for couple of days fir me, your situations might be different. Overall go for it!

Amazing headphones. In ear usually fall out of my ears so I switched to bone open ear for the first time. Surprisingly good sound quality. I barely notice I’m wearing them. Super convenient for running. Very good battery life as well.

I’ve been using the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed. The open-ear bone conduction design is perfect for outdoor runs and workouts—it keeps me aware of my surroundings while still delivering clear and balanced sound. The audio quality is noticeably improved over earlier models, especially the bass response, and the fit is super comfortable even during long sessions. Battery life easily lasts through multiple workouts, and the quick charge feature is a big plus. The Bluetooth connection is stable, and the controls are intuitive. The Steel Blue color looks sleek and stylish too. Overall, it’s a great blend of safety, comfort, and sound quality—ideal for anyone who wants to stay active while still hearing the world around them. Definitely worth the investment!

The Shokz OpenRun 2 are my go-to workout headphones, and honestly, I don’t think I could go back to regular earbuds. The bone conduction tech keeps my ears open, so I can still hear traffic, people, or whatever chaos is happening around me, which is perfect for running or working out outside. They’re super lightweight, stay in place no matter how much I move, and don’t leave my ears sore after hours of wear. Sound quality is solid for what they are—not crazy deep bass, but crisp and clear enough to keep me pumped. Battery life is great, and they charge fast, which is a huge plus. If you want full noise isolation, these aren’t for you, but if you like staying aware of your surroundings while jamming out, they’re a game changer.

Since they were released, AirPods Pro have been my go to earbuds. They’re compact, conveniently turn on and pair to my iPhone right out of the case, and boast excellent sound quality and noise isolation. Now that temperatures are cooling down here in the Midwest, I’ve been doing a lot more walking/running, biking, house upgrades, and getting back to working on my project car. Even though AirPods have tranparency mode, I prefer to have my ears completely unoccluded while I’m in public or anywhere there is vehicle traffic, especially when I’m walking my dogs. When I’m working on my project car, I noticed that my AirPods would constantly get bumped out or start to slip out as I get sweaty and dirty. I picked up the Shokz Openrun Pro 2s for these applications and they fill this role perfectly. Don’t get me wrong, I still love my AirPods for general daily use, but now I grab for my Shokz any time I’m doing any of the aforementioned activities. I was a bit skeptical about sound quality and adequate volume with open air headphones, but the Shokz do not disappoint. They get plenty loud, have clear vocals, and plenty of bass. It feels like you have your own private concert going on with the benefit of it not bothering anyone else who might be in your immediate vicinity. Because the Shokz wrap around the ears, I’ve had no issues with them slipping due to sweat or falling off if bumped. They feel well built and have nice clickly manual controls right behind your right ear. They pair quickly every time. The hard shell case they come with is compact and can easily be stored in or clipped to any bag. The Shokz app is pretty basic, but allows you to see batttery percentage and change EQ settings. Long story short, if you’re an active person who wants to maintain complete situational awareness at all times, these are the headphones for you.

love the fit of these! I didn’t even try them in-store before buying, and they turned out to be perfect. I mainly use them for my bike rides, where it’s super important to stay aware of the surroundings — and these are ideal for that. The volume is just right; maybe it could go a few decibels louder, but it’s not really necessary and definitely not enough to take away from a 5-star rating. The controls are really convenient too — play/pause, skip, and volume up/down all work smoothly. Call quality is great as well. Everyone I’ve talked to says they can hear my voice perfectly clear. Overall, an excellent pair of headphones for active use!

There are very comfortable and have the feeling of not being dislodge easily. The audio quality is clear with no distortion. Bluetooth connection was easy to pair with my smartphone. Battery charge cycle maintained per the specification.

If you're not sure if these are right for you, don't hesitate. Make sure you take correct measurements as to not purchase the wrong size. I have the mini and love it! I wasn't sure if they would be loud enough but they didnt' disappoint. I am able to hear my music and still be aware of my surroundings. These headphones stay secure on your head. Buy them!

Shokz has made some made some major improvements to the Open Run headphones, from charging to sound quality. I much prefer this style, as opposed to ear buds that go in one's ears, both in terms of comfort and being able to still hear what is going on around you. They are fabulous for long phone calls as well!

The sound from these open ear headphones is nothing short of amazing. Good fit. Good battery life. No connection issues.

This was a gift, my son says the hearing quality is crystal clear, good connectivity and comfortable. Since he is a marathon runner he is now able to move when someone says “ on your left. Being able to listen to music and hear traffic and surrounding sounds is a definite advantage.

Just awesome! Was hesitant about sound quality but it works great. My in ear Boise did better in quality but I only had one in my ear at a time. And of course I kept loosing the other one or the charging case. With these earphones I can hear my surroundings and the music. And my ears don’t hurt after using them for long period of time. Use the App it unlocks additional features. Battery life could be a little longer, but they charge fast.

The battery life is excellent, the sound quality is awesome, and the buttons are intuitive. They're comfortable while doing all sorts of physical activity, even for long periods of time. I've worn them for a few weeks for 8hrs at a time at work, no battery issues, and they don't really make your ears sore. Thanks to Shokz for MAKING BONE-CONDUCTION GREAT AGAIN.

I have purchased 4 of these Shokz Bone conduction headphones 2 for me and two as gifts. The sound is great. Not having them plugged into my ear canal saves my hearing! So light and minimal size you hardly know you have them on. Unlike iPods they don’t fall out when you’re exercising! The company now offers a USB C CHARGING PORT instead of their magnetic one. A major improvement, more secure attachment to charging cable. I previously owned another company’s bone conduction headphones they were 1/3rd the price. As my best friend has told me “ Buy cheap, buy twice!” The sound had little to no bass so it was particularly harsh. Buy Shokz!
