I’ve been using these headsets for years now and recently upgraded to this set from the air model. They are better in almost every respect. Sound is better, they are more comfortable and feel lighter.
Things I don’t like: the parts that are on the bottom of the pieces that sit in front of your ears now have a mesh grill. The diameter of the holes is perfect for hairs on sideburns to go into and then rip from your face. Yikes. Secondly they have this MagSafe like magnetic charger now, which makes it easy to clip onto the headset to charge. This means I have to pack it up and take an extra cable with me which is a little annoying as I travel a lot so will have to try and acquire a spare one I can leave in my go bag. Minor gripes in a product that improves generation by generation. I have great experience with the company’s customer service in the past and have no reason to think it isn’t still top rate.
Sound improvement is great as this is still the main weakness of bone induction sets over in ear headphones, but don’t expect miracles.

The product is of commendable quality. I purchased the headphones on October 24, and they demonstrate excellent battery life as well as satisfactory sound quality. However, beginning in March 2025, the headphones started to disconnect from my phone intermittently. Although I have not yet initiated an exchange, I intend to do so if the issue persists.

Worked great with Android right out of the box, but do have trouble connecting directly to Pelaton bike. Fits well and doesn't fall off during floor workouts or other exercise. Traffic noise can be louder than the music on busy streets.

Awesome tech for headphones. Doesn’t hurt my ears when wearing them like other headphones do and the sound is amazing and clear. I love the fact that you can put them around your head and they won’t fall. Definitely gonna buy another pair for the wife.

I work thirds and these are the best headphones I’ve ever used for phone calls and music. I can wear them all night long and my ears never hurt or get headaches!!
I go through tons of headphones and I’ve purchased about every brand. Bose, JBL, Skull candy /land even beats. These are the best I’ve had. The batter last atleast 8 hours. I have had these headphones for a year now and the battery is just as good as day 1.
If you want headphones that don’t hurt your head! Make exceptional phone calls with noise canceling. Get these! I’m serious you won’t regret it!

Works really and is surprisingly comfortable and doesn't fall off when I run or am just working out. My only issue is that the battery dies rather quickly within a few hours compared to my other headphones that last me a whole day without dying.

Ive been running out on local trails and paths. What I love about these is that I can enjoy my music/podcasts while still hearing my surroundings. In terms if safety I feel more comfortable running in areas with high traffic because I can hear clearer than just turning my music way down. They are comfortable to wear. I hardly notice them on. I dont have to constantly push them back in like i do with my airpods since they are not inside my ear.

The sound great. You do loose a bit of base not being directly in your ear, but that is inconsequential to the overall sound. They fit nicely and hold a charge for a long time.

Love them best thing I’ve purchased, I use them for work, the gym, and for personal use. They so light and comfortable you don’t even realize you have them on .

I have tried at least 30 different brands and types of headphones and Bluetooth and this by far is the best headphone for workout and all day use, especially running outside because you be aware of your surroundings and have great sounds quality. This also works great for yoga because it doesn't move around or fall off during your practice. If you go to sauna, this is a great headphone because it doesn't get hot to bother your skin or turn off because of heat. Long battery life, fast charging, great sound quality, and durable. I just love this headphone and highly recommend it!!

This is my second pair -- I stupidly broke the first pair I bought by sticking them in my pocket without the case, and it snapped where the earpieces connect to the band, so they just kind of flop uselessly around. I immediately bought this pair to replace them because these are so useful for what I need -- I've got a 2 year old and have basically used these headphones for most of her life, so that I can have my Nanit app on my phone and still hear it (or the monitor itself) while listening to podcasts (music is harder b/c it tends to drown the monitor out) while still being aware of the world at large.
I've also loved these for working outside (can still hear neighbors or the delivery person if they start talking to you), going on dog walks (can still hear cars), and even driving. I've got a pair of AirPod Pros that I also really love, but they serve a different purpose -- those are for canceling the noise outside, these are for allowing it to coexist with what I'm listening to. I still use them both depending on what I'm doing -- if I went for a run outside, I'd use the Shokz without a doubt. At the gym or on a bus, AirPods.
It also works well for hands-free for phone calls, although sometimes it picks up extra noise compared to other headseats I've had.
They're also more comfortable than most ear buds I've used (although they can wear on the top of your ears, similar to glasses, and they don't work the best if you're wearing glasses/sunglasses).
This version also has a big improvement over the first gen OpenRun headphones -- those would make an annoying BEEP if you got out of range of your device, and you couldn't stop it without turning the headphones off. Every time I went out to the garage for something and forgot my phone, BEEP... BEEP... BEEP. The new ones beep once and that's it.
Sound quality is fine, battery life has been great. Just don't stick them in your pants pockets!

I love my Shokz.
This is the third pair I owned.
I broke or lost the previous two because they were with me in conditions the other headsets wouldn't survive.
Lets go to the specifics.
I am not selling or benefiting from the review, just share my experience hoping it will help people like me.
I have very irregular ears which makes use of the in-ear headsets difficult.
The SHokz are incredibly smart and ergonomic.
1. You can start use them out of the box, though I would recommend to charge and researcher the basic controls before using.
2. I use the titanium version. It is very light , though you can step on it and it might survive, may not, so I wouldnt recommend the experiment.
3. The headset is so light so you quickly forget it is there.
4. The sound clear and you can hear individual instruments, but the outside sound is not blocked in any way. So you can hear the ocean if you walk on a beach and talk on the phone at the same time.
5. Charging - nothing to mention, it works and convenient to plug in.
6. Hard to talk when wind is blowing, but to be fair, any headset hard to hear on the wind.
In short - get it, try it, return if it is not for you.
I love them.
Thank you

Where I work we cannot wear ear buds, head phones or anything that might compromise our safety by hindering or preventing our ability to hear warning beapers, alarms and such like. However bone conducting head sets are permissible because they do not interfere with the ability to hear warning signals, alarms or radio comunication. I love it that I can wear these all day and listen to music while working. The battery- life is all that and a bag of chips. Phone calls are clear. comfortably all day. I am impressed all the way arround. I wear them all day long and charge at night. I couldn't be more pleased and satisfied.

Let me tell you…. I’m a guy who buy’s a lot of items to find the right device and this is it! Now don’t get me wrong I have a lot of other bluetooth devices (Samsung.apple.sony.jabra. Etc lol) and this just work awesome all day battery sometimes 2 days. Call quality it great. Sometimes the vibration of this things tickles lol on the side of ur ear i have to turn the volume down. They charge fast. Very durable and water proof. I’ve always had to buy 2 pairs of ear buds of the same product just so I don’t look crazy lol (cause i use android and iphone work/personal) but with these just one lol. The just check all the boxes for me. I don’t think u will be disappointed. Get them!!

They are great for commuting or participating in activities where you want music but need to be able to hear, or if you don't like have your ear covered. They also work great with Meta Quest, Otherwise if you are looking for crystal clear studio sound these are not right for you. Certain types of music such as older music, or music that was not recorded in stereo do suffer and there are instances in high noise area they and can sound a little low and high bass music can cause some vibration. But even with the faults they are super comfortable to the point I forget they are on and well worth it. I am buying my GF a pair and I would totally buy them again if I need to replace them.

Pros: light like few grams, I can use them almost non stop. Perfect sound quality. Good bass. Much better than in ear or over the ear headphones. Good for phone calls. Great for running outside not inside the gyn due to open design.
Cons: because it's using magnetic conduction design, I didn't know about side effect of technology. I used this headphones like at least 2-3 hours per day, sometimes 5-6hrs. So, now I have a static noise in ears, worst gets when I go to sleep, it gets hard to go to sleep.
Conclusion: I think they are awesome, but you have to limit your daily use like up to an hour. I also only 32 years old healthy man.
