Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the sound quality, comfort, battery life, open-ear design, fit, bone conduction, and lightweight features of the OpenRun Pro Premium Bone Conduction Open-Ear Sport Headphones. They appreciate the clear and immersive sound, comfortable and secure fit, long battery life, ability to hear their surroundings, lightweight design, and innovative bone conduction technology. On the other hand, customers are negative about the volume, bass, price, connectivity, and microphone. They feel the volume could be louder, the bass is lacking, the price is high, the connectivity is unstable, and the microphone could be improved for better call quality.

    I use these for walking in my neighborhood. I also have the previous pair for mowing and yardwork. Combine these with good earplugs and you can protect your hearing while listening to music and answering your phone. My wife could hear and understand me, and I her while pushing the mower. Can't beat that.

    old tech charging cable and unique one so that you cannot use regular cable or charge wirelessly. You will have to carry its own wire everywhere, I do not recommend the product

    Great idea but doesn’t deliver.

    Very difficult to hear in any type of noisy environment. No support for voice assistants such as Siri or Alexa . Can become uncomfortable after a few hours. Fit is difficult to maintain, can be fussy. Over all they are an interesting option with a much needed technology in today’s crowded headphone centric world. We really do need another option instead of the earbud or over ear headphone. It would definitely be a safer environment for many. Can’t wait to see version 3 or 4 if they can stay alive.

    Bought this as a gift for my wife and she says it wonderful to wear during her runs to allow her to still be aware of her surroundings. The volume limit has been ine of her favorite feature to not turn it louder than she has set. A great item and the perfect gift.

    It's a fun way to listen, but not easy to wear. The "backwards sunglasses" placement makes it awkward and only good for using while standing.

    Unit boasts a 10 hour battery life. I purchased this unit 2 months ago to replace my beloved LG tones. I work 10 hour shifts and purchased this unit based on battery life. I get 6 hours tops. Even worse the Bluetooth audio playback skips and studders. My LG tones never did this. Ive reset the device and even cleared the cache on the app. No resolve. After a month of use the left "speaker" has started buzzing on certain bass notes. The proprietary charge connector should've resulted in me returning them immediately but i kept them to see if they wore worth the hype. Plain answer is no. If you only plan to use your headset 6 hours a day go for it. If your ok with carrying the magnetic charge cable with you everyday. Go for it. If you don't like these options, look into other headsets. Will not be buying another set of these

    I got this Open run Pro as an upgrade of the Open run mini that I only had for 4 days because the battery only lasted for maybe 3 hours hoping that this more expensive would have a better battery life, it does but not by much. I wouldn't buy them again.

    I’m very disappointed in these considering the cheaper ones worked way better. Ppl can never hear me unless I have my phone close to my mouth. What’s the whole point of them if I can’t talk hands free?! Sounds far away too. Noise cancellation is false. These suck.

    Contrary to what you may have read online elsewhere, I will tell you these are in no way even a moderate solution for deafening tinnitus. You can absolutely hear the sound as it conducts through your skull. But it isn’t clear or bright enough to sublimate existing noises or tones. I believed hype I read online that these would be a workaround for those afflicted with deafening tinnitus. That is unfortunately wrong.

    I recently had to to send my Aftershockz- Aeropex for a warranty claim after a year of use and couldn't wait , so i purchased these thinking " newer set, better sound' . Boy was it a let down. They are not as loud as previous gen and just seem underwhelming.
