The OpenRun Pro by Shokz is the first pair of wireless earbuds I've owned. I was looking for a more affordable alternative to the more popular brands, and I found it with no compromises. The flexible band makes it surprisingly durable while contouring to any wearer's head. It is very light and confortable, and can be worn for hours, with more than enough battery to match. I was skeptical about bone conduction sound transfer at first, but found that it provides great sound quality despite the earpiece not being directly inside the ear (which also keeps it cleaner). An integrated voice narrates actions (i.e. volume up or powering off) and notifies you about the device's battery state upon start-up and during use. The Shokz OpenRun Pro is equipped with a magnetic charging port (charger included), a charge level indicator LED, physical volume +/- buttons (right side, worn), and a single multifunction control button (left side, worn) that can pause, play, skip, backtrack, answer calls, and more.
I highly recommend reading the owner's manual more than a few times to get familiar with this device's operation (especially the multifunction button) and proper care procedures. I haven't experienced any malfunctions even though it's been dropped twice, and after owning for four months I can say that I've been really pleased with its performance. I still have yet to utilize all of the capabilities in the feature-rich OpenRun Pro, and all in all, it's a very solid choice for anyone looking for affordable bluetooth media!
This is the best investment I have made in bluetoo

I bought these headphones at Best Buy because I was tired of the traditional ones that have a cord and the Bluetooth ones too, they hurt my ears. These are great because they are lightweight ,sometimes I don't feel like I have them on and my ears don't hurt. So I can bend over and move around and jump around and they don't move off my head. The battery lasts me two days.

I work remote and I am on calls 80% of my day. This headset has saved me from headaches and not feel like I constantly have headphones on. They are light weight, the sound is awesome and the people on the other end cannot hear a thing in my background. I tested this to the max including running a vacuum. 100000% better than airpods or beats. The battery lasts me all day and I’m sure the next bit I always charge it at the end of the day. They also come with a hard shell protective case, high quality! I can easily swap fe my phone to my computer with a click, no more fighting with air pods with connecting to the wrong device and having to remove. I can’t say enough good things about my Shokz pro!

My favorite headphones of all time! I got them Christmas '23 and they hardly ever come off my head. Charge lasts so so long, so comfortable that I forget that they are on sometimes. I wish I had got the mini version because there is a little gap behind my head that bumps stuff sometimes (headrest in car), and makes wearing a beanie or hoodie less comfortable. The issue will not be an issue for most of the year in Texas so it's not a big deal. Sound quality is ok-good, def not excellent. They are not in your ear so they don't get loud enough to drown out other sounds sometimes. Call quality is good and people have no idea that I'm not holding the handset to my face. I would 100% purchase them again if I lost or broke them, the only change I would make is buying the Mini for my head size. I also 100 % recommend them as long as you don't need noise canceling. If you want all day comfort and all day battery then these things are for you!

For my particular needs these are the greatest headphones I've ever used. If your intent is to listen to music then there are definitely better choices to be had, but if you're like me and use the headset more for podcast or phone calls than look no further. The sound quality and volume are both adiquit enough to clearly make out whatever you choose to listen to. The microphone works extremely well, but where these really shine is with the level of comfort and the phenomenal battery life. I work in IT and am constantly answering calls or listening to podcasts all day long and never have to take them off due to discomfort or need to recharge. I actually own two pairs of these and never shut them off. I just swap them out on the charger in the morning before I go to work and the battery easily lasts until the same time the next day.

I switched from Apple AirPods to this product and I couldn’t be happier. I have small ears so having these sit over my ears are perfect and do not cause any discomfort. I have used these in the hot sun running 10 miles by weekly and they stay in place and are sweat proof. Which is something I was looking for. The battery last long and only takes a quick five minutes charge for an hour. These are perfect for absolutely all my indoor and outdoor activities and very satisfying for a professional knowing I can listen to my favorite songs and still hear everything around me. The sound quality is better than Apple or Beats and is just right in terms of sound quality, base, and precision. My niece has hearing aids and was blown away at how well and comfortable these are when used while wearing hearing aids. She was in tears knowing that a company designed headphones for her needs. If I could give this product a 100 out of 10 I would. It is by far the best headphone on the market and is perfect for the outdoors ensuring you keep a piece of mind.

Very good and sleek. It’s light and comfortable to wear for workouts. The sound quality is also amazing — plus it gives you awareness of the surroundings which should always be the case for outdoor running buds.

Great audio quality, exceeded expectations! Keeps ears healthy, open, & dry. Mic is great BUT susceptible to wind noise, fyi. Perfect for walking, running, and cycling!
+2 stars: Mostly sweatproof! Not totally waterproof though..
+2 stars: Audio quality greatly exceeds expectation, especially compared to older Openrun and to other sports-style headphones & earbuds!
+1 star: Battery life is fantastic!!!
-1 star: fit is too tight on my very large head, clamps tightly
-1 star: headband broke after 15 months of heavy use
-1 star: microphones should be improved to eliminate wind noise!
+2 stars: excellent customer service! Called Shokz & they are sending me a replacement pair after 15 months of use broke the headband.
Overall great BUT especially if you have a larger head, look at the **brand new Openrun Pro2** that just came out - supposed to be better in all respects *AND* have reduced clamping force on your head!

I have pretty small ear holes and so earbuds easily fall out but with these being bone conduction they never fall off even when skateboarding and they allow me to hear my surroundings so I can stay active and safe I forget they are on my head at times because of how confortable they are and the battery life of 10 hours is more than enough to last me the day and it charges so fast I can take a shower and it will be at 100 I would definitely recommend this item to anybody

Bluetooth connectivity is reliable, and the battery life exceeds expectations. The integrated controls are intuitive, allowing for easy playback and call management.

As someone who's constantly juggling skateboarding sessions and taking care of my kids, the OpenRun Pro headphones have been a real asset.
Open-Ear Comfort: The design is so comfortable, I often forget I'm wearing them. It's crucial for me to hear my surroundings, whether I'm at the skatepark or with my kids at home.
Ease of Use: The 10-hour battery life means I don't have to worry about charging them in the middle of a busy day. Plus, the quick charge feature is a lifesaver when I'm short on time.
Durability: These headphones are built to last. They've held up through countless skateboarding sessions and the usual chaos that comes with parenting.
For me, the OpenRun Pro headphones have proven to be incredibly practical and reliable, making them well worth the investment.

Shokz is my very favorite ear/headphones. Once i started using them, I was sold/hooked on them!! I had always wanted bone conduction earphones and i am so impressed with these that i bought another pair!! I am in an apartment that walls are very thin. I can hear my tv without the neighbors hearing any loudness plus i can hear my phone or other people talking and they xannot hear what i am listening to! Its great!! Best thing i ever bought!! When i wear them i dont even know im wearing them until i hear ‘charge me’ !!! They are SO comfortable!!!

I’ve purchased dozens of headphones and I’ve finally found the holy grail of headphones. Shokz bone conduction headphones are so far ahead of the times. Nothing into the ears…you can have multiple conversations and hear everything surrounding you while talking. The best part is that my clients can’t even tell that I am using headphones because the clarity is so good! Also great for working out, running and mountain biking and the battery life lasts forever!

I’ve had a few pair of Shoxz headphones & these are by far the best ones made. The sound is definitely better, and theyre more comfortable as well. I love the new beige color option. Many out there complain that they don’t have traditional USB-C charging but this special charger allows thek to connect magnetically, which is a nice feature. I bought a two pack of backup chargers for $7.99 so that’s definitely a very minor issue. Keeper!!
A Magical Experience with Shokz OpenRun Pro Premiu

This headphone is a unique audio marvel that superbly combines technology, design, and comfort. If you're seeking an audio experience that feels like magic, these headphones should definitely be on your radar.
Comfort-wise, the Shokz OpenRun Pro headphones really excel. They are lightweight, ergonomic, and sit comfortably on your head. Whether you're going for a jog or doing an intense workout, there's no risk of them falling out. They stay put, no matter how much you move around.
However, they aren't without their flaws. One noticeable drawback is the lack of personalization options. While they fit snugly and are generally comfortable, there's no option to adjust them for a more personalized fit, which might be a concern for some users.
Additionally, while they work flawlessly in most environments, headphone has shown some connection issues in crowded places. This seems to be due to signal interference, causing occasional disruptions to the audio stream. While it's not a deal-breaker, it's something to keep in mind if you often find yourself in densely populated areas.
In conclusion, the Shokz OpenRun Pro offer a unique and immersive audio experience that feels like magic. Their comfort and security are unmatched, making them an excellent choice for sport and fitness enthusiasts. The few shortcomings, like lack of personalization and some connection issues, prevent them from being perfect, but they're certainly an innovative and worthwhile purchase for those seeking a unique auditory experience.

My Shokz are very comfortable. The best part they are not inside my ears and do not fall off when I’m exercising!
Cons: would only be adjusting the volume sounds low sometimes.

Im an avid gamer spending up to 8 hrs a day with different headphones, earbuds that have caused trigeminal neuralgia. Extremely painful! I went on the hunt and found these. So far ive gotten them to pair with a Bluetooth adapter connected to a elgato chatlink pro. No more pain! I used it for 2 hours tonight with voice and sound. I found it expensive however it is the only thing that has worked for me. PS5 console

I always had an issue with my headphones I would always have to buy the ones I go over your ear and I’m not really comfortable with that just because I have a piercing inside my ear. When I had the opportunity to listen to music close to my ear without the ability to damage my ear drums. I have used AirPods and with my piercing I had to move it and it ended up having a small soreness when I removed them. I tried the EarPods Pro and they never seemed to stay in my ears. It’s SUPER comfortable and has great sound quality and if you have a lot of base in your music it gives off a vibration on your sides and tickets a bit but it’s awesome. BEST purchase I’ve made with amazing battery life.
