Customer Ratings & Reviews

Real Estate Professional here. I walk into vacant home un-announced multiple times a day. Need to keep my wits about me! These headphones make that happen. You can press the button on the side and answer calls, activate Google Assistant (or Siri if Apple is your thing) to make phone calls, send text messages, etc. I even found an app that reads my notifications aloud so I never have to take my phone out of my pocket unless I want to see something on the screen. I was worried about sound quality but, after trying them, they greatly exceeded my expectations for the scenario I needed them for! . No complaints here! Even the call quality is more than acceptable. Battery life lasts me all day and into the next. Liked these so much I went out and bought the Opencomm 2 UC version for my zoom/google meet calls in the office. Awesome concept! You'll probably want a pair of Noise cancelling (ANC) headphones for those times you want to block out the world but, for the times you need to be aware of what's going on around you, these are the ticket!

I use these to mountain bike and they're the best solution to having music on the trail that I've found. I also like using them when working in the yard, as I like to still be aware of my surroundings. THINGS I LIVE BEST: 1) Comfort - the thinness around the ear makes wearing these, plus sunglasses, more comfortable than any other earphones I've used 2) Battery life is excellent - I've had plenty of battery left after 5 to 6 hour rides. Recharging is quick, too. 3) The controls are very easy to use. Better than my previous Bose and Airpods. 4) They stay where they're supposed to. WHAT COULD BE BETTER: 1) The sound quality diminishes once you get into the upper end of the volume. Not a huge deal because the whole point of these is to hear music and what's going on around you, so I don't use high volume unless I'm on a MTB only downhill only trail. My Bose that used similar technology had better sound but the part that wraps around your ear was bulky and caused pain and battery life wasn't good. 2) The carrying case is bulky enough that it would be great if you could charge these in the case itself. Seems it would be easy to build that into a case of this size. Yes, it would increase cost but I'd pay it. OVERALL: I've tried several brands and styles and these are my favorite. When you're on a bike for several hours, comfort, battery life and ease of operation get high priority. These check all the boxes. I'm a fan.

Having worn these day after day for about a month I’ve noticed a few things that I’d like to expand upon. First of all comfort, They take some getting used to in the beginning as you’ll get a tickle on your cheek bones with bass or other loud noises. If worn too much I notice an uncomfortable ache in my ear that’s probably from the pressure and vibration that I’m not accustomed to. Then there’s sound quality. In noisy areas they are almost useless, I’ve found having an ear plug in or just sticking my finger in my ear helps the bone conduction relay the sound to my ear drum, again for noisy areas. When in a generally noise free area the headphones work great. When talking on the phone I’ve noticed the microphones limit the background noise making your voice #1. If you’re in the bathroom the person on the other end might hear an echo. I can wear them all day without needing a charge. I listen to podcasts, books, news and social media. I’ve even used them at work where “headphones aren’t allowed” and gotten a pass from the boss because they leave my ears open to my environment. Overall they have a great look and they wear really well. If you’re looking for an open ear concept this is the brand for sure.

I have had my Shokz Open Run Pro headphones for 4 months now. I love these headphones. I use them at work in my hospital and kept in the on mode with no music on sometimes. When I get a call, the conversation is crisp and clear both from the headphones and microphone. I am heard well under an operating room mask with no problems. When I am watching a video or listening to music, the sound is amazing. The advantage of these non conduction headphones is I can hear when somebody wants my attention. The battery lasts all day and I sometimes charge them every other day since it’s good for at least 2 days of use. The headphones are comfortable and sometimes I forget they are on. I love these and highly recommend them.

The previous headphones by AfterShokz was the Aeropex. When I compare the Aeropex to the new OpenRun Pro I just purchased, the OpenRun is far more superior in quality and in performance. The OpenRun even has the an app that the Aeropex doesn’t have. The Aeropex are good, however the OpenRun Pro is better. So overall I’m happy with the OpenRun and highly recommend them. Thanks

I love this headset! Once you've used a bone conduction headset, you won't want anything else. It uses the bones in your head to transmit the sound, leaving your ears open to hear ambient sound so it's safer for driving because you can still hear the important sounds around you. An added bonus is comfort. Instead of wearing something inside your ear, these wrap around your ears and rest in front of your ears. The sound quality is great. You can talk on the phone, listen to music, etc. You can also answer/hang up the phone from the headset. It has a pretty great range too. I can wear them all over my house and they connect to my phone without any problems. In short, I'll never go back to using traditional ear buds. These are way better!

Shokz headsets offer a practical solution for people who want to enjoy audio without blocking out the world around them. Their bone conduction technology, combined with comfort, durability, and situational awareness, makes them an ideal choice for athletes, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who needs to stay aware of their surroundings while listening to music or taking calls.

My search for headphones/earbuds while I work is finally over! The audio during phone calls is phenomenal, music audio is sufficient, & they are ideal when working while you sweat. I love the fact that I no longer have to worry about adjusting them every few seconds because they keep moving around in my ear. The open ear design is truly liberating to combat the constant frustration that I just mentioned. Battery life & bluetooth pairing/connecting get two thumbs up for how accessible & reliant this product is. If you are looking for a pair of headphones/earbuds that are truly hands/worry free, these are the pair to get.

Sound is impressive for an open ear headset. Bluetooth connection is seamless. I wish it could support more than one device (i.e. be connected to more than one device at the same time and you toggle between them to choose which one is active). My only complaint is that it is big. I should have gone for the smaller one for a snug compact fit. Even so this fits comfortably and I often forget that I have it on. I have it on together with my glasses with minimal adjustment. The battery lasts almost the whole day with heavy use. I've used longer lasting earpieces. On the flip side, it is fast charging. Ful charge in 10-15mins.

Good headphones, they allow for awareness around you, and the only complaint is the 4-5 hour battery life. What makes up for the battery life is that they charge full in about an hour.

These headphones have great sound quality and hold a charge well. I like that my ears are open to the world so that I can be more aware of my surroundings. That said, I find that sometimes they aren't loud enough. If I'm riding my bike and listening to a podcast, the wind noise in me ears frequently overpowers the volume of the headphones. My only other complaint is that, because the headphones have a rigid shape, the case for them is necessarily large. It fits in a bag well, but they're not the sort of thing you can just keep in a pocket. The case is well constructed and protects the device well though!

These Shokz - OpenRun Pro Premium Bone Conduction Open-Ear Sport Headphones are the best headphones ever. Very comfortable, easy to use, lightweight and great sound. It comes with a protective case. One simple button to answer and hang up calls. The volume up and down buttons also turn it on and off. Its hard to believe, that something that doesn't go in or over your ears, has such great sound. The charging cord is so easy to use. The charging end is magnetic so it just snaps on. When u charge it, a red light comes on. Then, when it's fully charged, a blue light comes on. They are lightweight. Sometimes I forget I'm wearing them.

This is a near excellent open ear headset. I wear it everyday nearly all day long as I go about my IT duties in the corporation I work in. It's great at taking teams meeting calls, cell phone calls, dictation to cell or just listening to music or watching YouTube videos. The small button on the left temple is brilliant for pausing media or picking up and hanging up on calls. The only downside to a headphone like this is that being at it is an open ear headphone you do hear things around you. You can turn them up and pretty much drown them out but if things get too loud and you're trying to hear a phone call just pop in some earplugs or stick a finger in your ear and all of a sudden you've got your audio boost. I would give these five stars but the technology isn't quite there yet for me to do so. Don't get me wrong though these are awesome headphones to have especially if you want to be aware of your surroundings while you're listening to things.

These headphones are great for listening to music or podcasts when you still want to be involved or connected with what is going on around you. I wear them to ride my bicycle because I can clearly hear what is going on around me whilst enjoying whatever I'm listening to. I wear them all day at work without any aches or irritations and they allow me to hear and be part of conversations going on in the office while enjoying some music. It's kind of like having a soundtrack to your life because you get the best of both worlds. They sit on your ear very comfortably and are easily wiped clean if you have a sweaty workout in them. I have them connected to my phone and my laptop at the same time through the multi pair function. Battery life is very good easily last the whole day.

So, this is the experience you get when a ghost whispers in your ears. No bulky contraption hanging off your head, nothing clogging your ears, but still producing great sound (I know audiophiles that purchase gold plated cables would disagree). I love it. You totally forget you have it on while out on a run. Not ideal for use in a club. Not because of the alcohol, but the fact your ears are open to external noise. It also seamlessly connects to second Bluetooth devices.

I love these headphones! I’ve gotten to wear I dont want headphones in my ear so these are perfect & i can still hear my surroundings. They’re also not too loud!

I like the headphone last longer the hour they tell you for 3 day if you use the for talking on the phone and music

Absolutely love these headphones. Use them for music and business phone calls all day. A full battery charge on the ride to work last me until bedtime. This is my second pair, and I can't get through the day without them. If you are a true audiophile, the music quality will not be good for you, but if you just need to have music to make your busy day tolerable, these are just what you need.

The OpenRun Pro headset is amazing. I have had it for over a year and it is exactly what I need. I work construction and I have to be able to listen out for anything while I listen to music. These are the best of both worlds. Great sound but also not in my ear blocking out the world.

The Shokz OpenRun is exactly what I have been looking for while exercising. I keep them on a certain volume at work and can still when people are speaking to me. They are great for running and walking to. I really like them because if you are running you can hear the ambient noise around approaching you such as cars and emergency vehicles. The sound quality is not as good as and in/over the ear noise cancelling but they work extremely well. I love them. Best Father's Day gift ever.
