They fit great They don’t fall off You can hear and converse They sound great They are not so loud as to deafen you Probably one of the better choices I have made

I never really like ear bud due to them bothering my ears, so thes are great,since their not in my ear and wrap around my ear. Its nice also if im walking i can still listen to music and still be aware of my surroundings, or if someone is talking. Everyone ive talked to with the built in mic says it sounds great. The only downer is their not super loud, but it ok for me cause i dont need them that loud.

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.

These are the absolute best headphones i have ever owned. The sound quality is great, they have a long battery life. But as with all Shokz headphones, they allow you to be outside and still hear your surroundings. I recommend these to everyone I meet, mainly for safety reasons. I see people jogging with noise cancelling headphones and they have no idea what is going on around them, These also look cool and you can wear them all day with no ear fatigue.

The sound quality is good. I enjoy not having to worry about them falling off since they wrap around ear. Being able to hear things around me. Pretty comfortable.

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.

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 sensory issues due to TBI. These headphones allows me to push out outside noise. (Echos loud distracting music crowd noise etc). Outside noise becomes distant background allowing my selecred playlists to be in the forefront aiding me in focusing on conversations better. i am able to share space and some events that I was unable to share before. Sounds counterintuitive but this is my very real experience. Besides this great benefits the quality of sound is superior to my other headphones. I also like that they are discreatly worn. So when i wear them in public places it doesn’t seem odd. Try them and see for yourself. Charge lasts allday even while continuously using.

These are very similar to the original bine conducting headphones with minor modifications. The only drawback is the magnetic charging port. The charger is unique only to this headset & very short so if you lose it, it's destroyed or forgotten on a trip, you can't easily get a replacement. It also doesn't reach from charger to the top of a table. It needs an adapter or a longer cord & some way to easily get additional charging cords. Otherwise, this set has better sound quality, range, battery life & more easily manipulated buttons than the original. Would definitely purchase again.

I got the following in quotes from an article explaining the concept and technology behind these types of “bone conducting” headphones. The ones I am reviewing and enjoying are the SHOKZ OpenRun Pro model: “Unlike regular headphones or earbuds, bone conduction headphones don’t rely on speakers to create sound. Instead, they use two transducers to vibrate your skull—or, more specifically, your cheekbones. These vibrations find their way to your cochleas, where they’re translated into “sound” for your brain. Bone conduction effectively bypasses your eardrums, leaving them free to hear external noises while you enjoy music, podcasts, phone calls, or other sounds from your headphones.” That is the beauty of this technology: the user hears great sound while still having both ears “open” to hear other sounds of people asking questions, drivers in the street or emergency sirens. The earphones recharge via a supplied magnetic charge cable and operate for 10 hours on a full charge such as overnight or all morning. The unit has dual noise cancelling microphones for telephone call use and everyone says we both sound good when we use them. They utilize Bluetooth 5.1 for compatibility and features with older and newer smart phones and other sources. They recharge to 1.5 hours worth of use in a claimed 5 minute recharge time using a supplied magnetic connection induction charge cable that uses any USB Type A charger for any smart phone we all have at home now. The magnetic cable does not actually plug in so it should last longer than charge plugs that wear out over time. The units is rated at IP-55 which means they are not to be used in a pool (SHOKZ has other models for that) but these can withstand the sweat and occasional wetness from a sudden rain if outside while using them. The sound is very good but please be aware that they will not have the deep bass sound of something like the latest $380 Sony or Bose full ear covering larger headphones. Both my wife and I like them and she is probably going to buy a pair for herself soon. They are easy to put on behind the neck and over the ears and grip the sides of our heads with just enough squeeze but not too tight or painful. They have a 2 year warranty and a headband was included in the box! Highly recommended

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.

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.

I really enjoy these. They are comfortable and have amazing range and clarity. They connect to two devices reliably and swap between the two flawlessly. And my ears are open to hear around me. I forget I have them on. Excellent

I have been running with these for several months and they are fantastic! I never worry about them slipping out, the sound quality is great, and the battery life is amazing.

I purchased these as have found myself in an open office situation. I need to be able to hear others as well as my phone, but still be able to listen to music, news etc. I am blown away with these. While its not exactly audiophile level, sound is good. They are very comfortable & I can wear them all day with no issues. The hard case is very much worth having as well. These do have an associated app which is where my praise ends. As much as the hardware is a 10, I think a 3 for the software is generous. Unlike my Jabra 7's which can be paired to 6 devices and can connect to 2 simultaneously, these can only connect to 2 and used individually. Connecting is often hit-and-miss and sometimes requires opening the app to connect. If my phone is distant & disconnects I have to restart the headphones to connect. Bottom line is that these are awesome but the software I feel should be much better for this price range. Still worth having though.

These were on sale and I figured I could use them while I am working, so people can still talk to me while I am at my computer. The fit is pretty good and the sound is great. I do have a few complaints about them. First, the charger is proprietary which makes it difficult to charge unless you constantly carry the cord around. The good thing is the case has a spot for the cable. Second, there is only one side button. I constantly reach up to the right side to play/pause but there is nothing there. It is annoying, but not major. The major issue I have is when I go to turn off the headphones, using the Volume Up button, the next time I turn on the headphones it causes the volume to be raised. I like the volume at a certain level so it is annoying when I turn these back on and the volume is higher than expected. A simple update should be able to fix that. Overall, the issues are minor and I am enjoying using these. I do wish they made a larger version so I can rest them around my neck when not in use, but that is getting nit-picky.

Very good headphones. The sound quality is good while also letting you maintain awareness of your surroundings. This coupled with the fact that it is very lightweight makes it great for going on runs or exercising outdoors.

Good headphones, battery does laster longer than my Apple earbuds. They are light, sometimes you forget they are on your head. Does not fall off. I have two pairs the openmove and openrun, I keep one at work and one at home.

The Shokz OpenRun Pro! Pretty good pair of headphones for anyone that isn't into noise-cancelling headphones and wants to also hear ambient noise. Having owned two other pairs, the AfterShokz Aeropex & Aeropex Mini, I definitely love the OpenRun Pro headphones. When it comes to audio quality, it isn't audiophile grade like my Audio-Technica R70x open back cans. However, sound quality is very good and comes through easily in low noise environments. If you are outdoors or in noisier environments, you'll have to bump the volume a bit higher. One thing I loved about the OpenRun Pro vs the Aeropex & Aeropex Mini is that when listening at higher volumes, the OpenRun Pros produces less haptic vibrations and isn't as hard on my tragus (outer ear), meanwhile the quality isn't sacrificed. Battery life is great, and I got quite close to the 10 hours listed. Standby time is also great, as I was able to go 2 days listening to ~4.5 hours of music each day. Wearing these while being active is no issue. I've worn these while playing tennis and running, and they stay in place very well. The fit on the OpenRun Pro is also quite nice, and I didn't have to stretch them out on my yoga block like I did with my Aeropex & Aeropex Mini. The weight is also unnoticeable, and there wasn't any ear fatigue I experienced. I am able to wear these all day without having any issues regardless of what I'm doing. The only thing I would nag about is that the OpenRun Pros don't have next/previous controls. Having used Shokz/AfterShokz headphones for quite some time now, was hoping this newer iteration of their bone conduction headphones would provide that functionality. The inconvenience of having to go for my phone/tablet to change tracks gets quite irritating :( Though the OpenRun Pros lack certain playback controls, it is still quite a great pair of headphones. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that is looking into open-ear headphones or headphones in general!

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.
