Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my second Shokz... also have an Opencomm which I use for work. I've gone through a lot of different headsets/earphones/earbuds and Shokz is the brand I'm happiest with. One charge lasts me a whole day without recharging. I bought the Openrun Pro for outside activities because it's not as noticeable as the Opencomm. Sound quality is slightly richer in the Openrun Pro than the Opencomm (but since the Opencomm is for work it's sound quality isn't really that important for me). Best of all, since my ears are not covered, my situational awareness is not as compromised as when I'm wearing earbuds/earphones.

Great sound and very comfortable i wear them for 10 plus hours a day and I forget im wearing them. Fit is great they stay in place and dont fall off.

Fantastic headphones! I wear hearing aids and wanted a set of open air headphones that didn't require me to remove my hearing aids. I tested these out at Best Buy's display in store. I was really impressed and bought them. I have had them for a few weeks now and am really glad I found them. They are very comfortable to wear, and the battery life is supposed to be 10 hours. They will be real good for bicycling. I do use an equalizer app with them (Wavlet) that really perfects the sounds. Also, they can connect to two Bluetooth devices at the same time! I use them with my computer and my phone.

I loved it. Been more than 6months now. Battery life is very good. Sound quality is as well. I bought the wireless one (gift) after using this and my friend loved that as well. The only complain for me is, it won't auto turn off. Like if I disconnect the bluetooth, I'll have to manually turn off this device. Other than that, everything is good. I stopped using my Samsung buds after using this.

Best headphones to use for running. i have been running for fitness for years. Better than my airpods or my bose headphones when it comes to running. I can hear the music clearly, dont have to worry about sweat getting in because of where the ear pieces sit on your head. Never have to worry about them falling off my head or out of my ears. Solid purchase, highly reccommend.

Got it for my husband and he loved it! He works out daily and this doesn’t bother him. The sound quality is good.

Love these as they don't irritate the ear at all. Sound quality is great. I have found that is very loud environments it is hard to hear. Overall they work for me, and I would recommend them to other people who have difficulty with the traditional pods..

Let me start by saying these as the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever owned. I constantly forget I’m wearing them, so that’s something to consider if you plan on using these for work or exercising. I have a pair of AirPods Max that were my work headphones but their batteries don’t really last very long and they’re heavy, so I wanted to try something new and I’m really happy with these. Their batteries have been lasting me 2 days of work total, so that also helps. That being said, the audio quality is not even remotely comparable with the AirPods. I did expect a difference, especially considering there wouldn’t be noise isolation or something to seal your ears for bass. These get 5 stars for comfort and 3 for audio quality, so 4 stars average in my opinion.

I've gone through quite a few different ear buds/headsets for workouts. Most eventually start falling off. When working outside a lot of them have made sunglasses uncomfortable. These have stayed in place every time I have used them and barely even notice them when paired with my sunglasses. These are bone conduction and will sit more towards the temple than inside the ear. They sound a bit different than in-ear buds, but these also allow the ability to hear everything going on around you. If you run or do any workouts in an area where you need to be aware of your surroundings, I would highly recommend trying these.

Theze headphones are amazing! Surround sound like sound but can still hear whats going on if need be! Very heavy duty as i work outdoors alot and waterproof!

Best set of headphones I have ever owned. I could never find a pair that would stay in my ears as I worked out. I like that these are not in my ears which allow me to be aware of my surroundings without interfering with my music.

Was a bit skeptical first, but wanted give it a try. Sound is not comparable with other earbuds with/without active noise cancellation, but I was really surprised when I plugged my ears while using it, because that is when I first understood the bone conduction concept. Not ideal for noisy environment, because there is limitation on volume via bone conduction. Good in-office conference call device, and mics are of good sound quality. Multi device pairing has connectivity issues, where while using it with PC, it keeps connecting with the phone with ‘connected’ announcement. I turned off multi pairing mode, with the hope that with next update, this would have improved. Battery life is great. I can go all day using this without worrying about charging.

Excellent bone conduction, very quiet in noisy areas. Very clear fidelity, battery lasts a long time between charges. Comfortable to wear.

Used these for training for a triathlon, a half marathon and now in prep for a full marathon. I couldn't be happier with the performance, battery life, and comfort of these.

Never liked things over my ears or uncomfortably in my ears. These are truly the modern technological solution. Comfortable, clarity, and yet somehow keeps the sound from those around me.

Amazing to use and has amazing sound quality, battery life is amazing. Shokz is comfortable to wear and causes no inconveniences when wearing them .

These are the best bone conducting headphones out there. Little bit on the pricier side but they sound great and last a long time. I have used these for 6 hour long runs without any issues.

I have several pairs of Bluetooth headsets but most of them are different flavors of earbuds. I wanted to try these Shokz since I get ear canal “fatigue” on most of my in-ear headsets. I’m pleasantly surprised that these Shokz are very comfortable to wear. I also felt a little safer wearing these while roller skating on a public hike and bike trail. At a medium volume, I was still able to hear people’s voices, bicycles coming up alongside me and even my skate wheels clicking over a bridge. When I first put them on with all my gear, I was concerned that they would be less comfortable but they were actually great to wear. I have long hair and was wearing a visor and sunglasses and while at first it seemed like there was a whole lot going on over my ear and behind my head, I hardly noticed it once I got moving. The sound quality is good, but not great. It was a little bit tinny but I attribute some of that to ambient noise and wind and again they aren’t in your ears. There is an app which has an EQ feature, but there are only 2 settings: voice and standard. I like a little more bass, but there is not a way to add any layers to the sound. The first time I paired it with my iPhone there were more steps than most apps and Bluetooth devices I use. Also the app only opens after the headsets pair with your phone but I guess that makes sense. The volume button is separate from the FF-REW-Pause button and having buttons over your ear and under your ear take some getting used to, but after a few tries I had it down. I’ve also used them now for phone calls and a conference call, which I was pleased with both sound and microphone worked well. One note is that the microphone picks up a lot your background noise in a phone call. The only thing I would ask them to add (besides better EQ controls) would be to make the strap behind your head adjustable. I have a small noggin and would like the strap to be about 10% smaller and snugger. Overall, 4 stars out of 5 for general usage and 5 out of 5 for comfort, exercise and outdoor safe usage.

Makes it easy to hear when someone is calling for me, and equally as easy to pretend I didn't hear them. Sound quality is decent, its comfortable, the battery lasts longer than advertised.

I bought one of these for my son when they first came out and he loved it and used it until one side stopped working this last year. He just got this pair for his bday and he says it is so much more streamlined and performs better than the original. He is just as delighted as he was with the first pair. I listened to them and I can't tell the difference between this and just hearing through an earbud. Also, when I turned it up, it did make it hard to hear other things. It definitely felt like I was "listening" not like I was sensing it through bone conduction but if you remove it from your ears, you definitely just feel vibration, you don't hear sound. So these are interesting and great. It doesn't create that pressure feeling that you get when you listen to music too loud but it does block other sounds if you turn it up too much.
