I am absolutely thrilled with my Shokz OpenRun Bone Conduction Headphones! These headphones have completely transformed my running experience. First and foremost, the open-ear design is a game-changer. I can enjoy my music and stay aware of my surroundings while running, which adds a significant safety element. No more worries about traffic or other potential hazards.
But it's not just safety; the sound quality is exceptional. The bone conduction technology delivers crisp and clear audio without the need for in-ear buds. It's like having a personal concert without blocking external sounds.
Battery life is another area where these headphones shine. They seem to last forever. I can go for long runs without worrying about them running out of power. They're a reliable companion for extended workouts.
In terms of durability, Shokz has hit the mark. These headphones are sweatproof and built to last, making them perfect for my active lifestyle.
What's even more remarkable is that I had an older version of Shokz headphones for about 2 years and loved them. It was just time for an upgrade, and these OpenRun headphones have truly exceeded my expectations.
Lastly, the comfortable fit is worth mentioning. They stay in place, even during intense workouts, and I sometimes forget I'm wearing them.
Overall, the Shokz OpenRun Bone Conduction Open-Ear Endurance Headphones have exceeded my expectations. They're a must-have for any athlete or outdoor enthusiast. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!
Near perfection Bluetooth sound and communications

These are amazing!! I've worn a variety of Bluetooth earpieces over the past 20+ years, and these tic all my boxes.
The bone conduction technology is amazing and leaves your ears wide open to hear the world around you, which, for me is very important while working, and it doesn't consume battery life by using a hear-thru technology.
The microphone is crisp, clear and discreet, bringing your voice forward of any background noise, and making you sound great at the other end of your call or conference.
The multi-connect pairing for me is Paramount and a game changer!! There are dozens of really good, high quality earbuds, that I couldn't buy, because they don't have this technology! I don't understand why other manufacturers aren't doing this more! I'll mention other brands here, because I place the Aeropex in very good company!! My 7 year old Sennheiser earpiece does it very well, but it's large, heavy and on my ear. My 1 year old, Jabra earbuds do it okay, but not great, and they are in my ears. My new Aftershokz Aeropex do it seamlessly!! I use an iphone for work and my personal phone is an Android, and I need to be connected to both, and these do that for me flawlessly!!
The very thin, over the ear loop type design makes these very comfortable to wear all day long, with glasses, face masks or anything else you might be using your ears for, including hearing as the transducer sits gently on your skin in front of your ears. Nothing on or in your ears!!!
I use these for work as an AV Engineer during the day, and for play after work. Designed for athletics, they comfortably stay put, and provide safe, secure, spectacular sound and communications for anything you do!!
I'm sorry this review is so long, but there's just so much good to say about this product!!!
I highly recommend this product!!

I go for a walk every day and wear these great headphones. I love them cause I can still talk to people who stopped me on my walk and I can hear them easily. I also have no problem with incoming cell phone calls and every one says they can hear me very well.

I recently bought the Shokz OpenRun Bone Conduction Headphones, and I must say, they are an intriguing piece of audio technology.
First and foremost, the comfort level of these headphones is exceptional, however if you wear them as often as I do, they can become uncomfortable. The lightweight design and the absence of earbuds or over-ear cups make them incredibly comfortable to wear. Plus, they stay in place during physical activities, making them ideal for sports or outdoor use.
The sound quality is surprisingly good. While the audio doesn't match the depth and richness of traditional headphones, the bone conduction technology delivers clear and crisp sound. The open-ear design allows you to stay aware of your surroundings, which is a significant safety advantage, especially for outdoor activities. However, in noisy environments, the sound can be affected by external interference, slightly compromising the listening experience. The built-in microphone ensures clear call quality during phone conversations.
Battery life is amazing. With a single charge, I was able to use them for 16 hours of continuous playback. The charging process is hassle-free thanks to the included USB cable, and the quick charging feature provides a decent amount of playback time with just a short charging session.
One draw back is that the bass response is not as pronounced as that of traditional headphones, which might disappoint bass enthusiasts.
Overall, the headphones offer an innovative and comfortable listening experience. They excel in terms of comfort, connectivity, and battery life. If you prioritize situational awareness, such as during outdoor activities or while working, these headphones are worth considering. However, if you crave deep bass and complete noise isolation, you may want to explore other options.

Love these Headphones! I hate using headphones that go in the ear, especially when I go running or work out. This sit perect outside and around my ear, sound quality is VERY GOOD, and also, the battery last a long time. HIGHLY recommend this, especially if you do not like putting earbud in your ear.

I purchased these as a upgrade from Aftershockz Air. I enjoy the sound quality but not much difference between the Air. It has a magnetic charging system that works quite well. Battery life is good and gets me through several days of activity on a single charge. Hearing what's around you as well as hearing your music is a perfect combination makes these headphones a safe bet. I do like the lightweight and the fit around your ears. The only problem I have had is the headphones turn off while listening to music from time to time. This can be very irritating while doing physical activity. Aftershockz states that resetting the headphones fixes the issue but its shut off a few times since. I will be contacting them shortly in hopes to resolve this issue.

Confortable, light. I have been always running with the traditional earbuds and after 1 month of using the bone conductivity headphones I have to admit that it is gonna be awhile until I get back to the others if any. Apart from that very happy with Bestbuy attendants.

As someone that spends their entire workday on the phone running a remote team these have been excellent. I wore many earbud styles and most recently the Bose open sport earbuds and other "headphones" as a phone headset for years. They began causing issues with ear infections that i never had before and have not had since going to the on ear style of one of the bose. However, Bose was uncomfortable for long periods due to pinching of upper ear. But was better than in ear. Software was very slow and clunky and often disconnected without notification. Looking for a simple alternative i tried the Shokz out and immediately they are more comfortable and the software has run flawlessly so far. Only con would be that volume can only go so high before its just annoying buzzing on your temples. I will mention that at first i did get low level phantom buzzing while not wearing them which was odd and concerning. But the occurrence has lessened substantially over time. All in all they have been excellent but for music i would still go with an over the ear model for sound quality like Seinheisers or the Bowers and Wilkins P50's or whatever is their current model. Battery life has been excellent. Design is comfortable but i don't love the need to always wear both and that they are connected. But they are comfortable enough that i forget about that quickly. Probably a bigger concern for those with longer hair as the connection is fairly rigid. So yeah, great for what they are!

The battery lasts quite a while compared to other wireless headphones. They are very comfortable to wear! The sound quality is decent, but the bass is somewhat lacking. Having not used other bone conduction headphones, I don't know if this is a limitation of the technology or if it's just this model. Otherwise, I love them and highly recommend them!

Great earphones. With other products my ears hurt so these are amazing. They also do not fall off my ears which is amazing. The sound is also really good and allows you to hear your surroundings.

Bought these for my husband, he says the sound quality is great especially with ear plugs in at work. Extremely lightweight and comfortable. You can still hear everything around you making them safety compliant. Holds charge all day at work and when they do need charging they charge up fast. They may cost a little more but you are getting quality and comfort wearing them all.day, every day. Will only buy airshokz or none at all.

They are comfortable. I waer them every day all day. At work, at home, at the park and in the car. They dont get in the way and can hear what I'm listening to as well as what is going on around me.
Whenusing the loud dryers at work, (I groom dogs) I put in ear plugs and keep listening. Works as well as safty noise reduction earphones!
They stay put even when dealing with uncooperative dogs.
Oh, and I like the dound of these headphones better than my car speakers.
Really last 8 hours while listening and longer if connected to my phone, but not actively listening.
Calls are clear on both ends.
