Ordered these for my father-in-law who is hard of hearing. They work great. The fit is a little weird, but got used to it.

The sound is not very clear, a little heavy to wear a long time
If you like Bass or loud speakers, read this first

OVERALL
There are some things to enjoy about these headphones. For some people, they may be great. For others, if they experience the issues I do, they're not so great.
These come with a large, hard carrying case, which is nice. I can throw them in my gym bag without worrying about them getting torn up.
The Shokz headphones are fairly comfortable. Because they hang over the ear, they don't hurt your ear canals after prolonged usage like some earbuds do.
Phone call quality is good. I had no issues hearing or being heard.
The first thing I noticed that I didn't like is the proprietary charging. Everyone and everything seems to be going to USB-C. I'm not sure why the designers here decided to go with something completely different. It isn't a deal-breaker for me, but it is annoying to need to have 1,000,000 different chargers/cables for everything because electronics companies want to be different or make more money selling car chargers and such.
The sound quality is decent, however, there are issues. Perhaps it is simply my anatomy or a bad pair of headphones, but when I listen to loud music (volume around 40% and higher) or with a lot of bass, I feel like the bones in my face by my ears are vibrating. It's a rather unpleasant feeling. Enough that I wouldn't recommend them to anyone who likes heavy bass or loud music. As someone who spends a lot of time at the gym and running, I like to drown out the outside world and distractions when working out. The vibration prevents me from getting these loud enough for that sometimes. Other times, it doesn't matter. My workout partners like to talk sometimes. With these headphones, I can have the music in the background while maintaining a conversation.
I wanted to love these headphones because of the comfort. The fact is, though, I barely like them. I will keep them and use them as a back up pair and for times when I know I'll be chatting or won't want my music too loud.
WOULD I RECOMMEND THEM?
This is always the true question of an item's value. For me, the answer is, for 1 or 2 out of 10 people, I *might* recommend these, but for the most part, no. I wouldn't suggest someone get these. That vibration is just that bad for me.
Sound Level Very Poor ,standard Headphones are bet

Found that the Shokz OpenRun Bone Conduction Headphones was OVER RATED and it stated would be good for person with a hearing loss. Found the Sound level is not loud enough had it at 100 percent and could barley hear it . Connected with TV with no problem for Blue tooth . TV found it with no problem and listed it .
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Please reach out to BestBuy directly if you would like to return your Shokz. Thank you!

I bought theses specifically for hands free phone use at work. They are phenomenal for this purpose.

Worked great at first but then over time people can’t hear me over the microphones.
Also found it hard to hear anyone or music in loud environments without wearing earplugs.
Hi there- Shokz here! We're sorry to hear this has been your experience. In this case, we'd suggest a manual reset of the headphones. If the reset doesn't resolve the issues, all Shokz come with a 2-year warranty. To resolve the low volume issue, there is also a phone setting that may help! -On the iPhone, go to Settings > Sound & Haptics > Headphone Safety, make sure that the Reduce Loud Audio Feature is switched off as this will affect the volume of the headphone. -On an Android, go to the Bluetooth Settings on the phone, find the headphone and make sure that the Absolute Volume feature is switched on for it. Please reach out to our Customer Happiness Team or visit our website to submit a claim. Thanks!
