Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’m very satisfied with the Shokz OpenRun headphones. The bone conduction technology really works—I can enjoy my music while still being aware of my surroundings, which is perfect for running outdoors. They’re lightweight, super comfortable even during long workouts, and they stay securely in place no matter how much I move.

Great quality sound and quick connection. Battery life is excellent. As someone with small ears, the in the ear pods and buds were a painful and ill-fitting option that were just more hassle than they were worth. Would definitely buy these again. Only draw is I wish the back was adjustable as it sticks out under my hair.

These things are crazy! I have always struggled with earbuds not fitting well and was in the market for a new set of wireless headphones that I could use at work, these headphones are perfect for allowing me to hear what's going on around me without sacrificing audio quality! They fit really well and don't come off even if I'm shaking my head and upside down! I read about people mentioning lack of bass, but these things physically shake from the bass and I listen to pretty bass heavy artists like Griz and Rezz. They work even better if you block out all external sound with regular earplugs which it also comes with, but you can literally use any kind as all the sound is produced outside of the ear canal itself. They get really loud, enough to actually drown out external sound but you can turn them down pretty quiet also. I definitely recommend these to anybody in the market for an alternative to in ear headphones!

These are amazing, especially for workouts. The sound is great and battery life as well. They keep your ear canal free of sweat and allow you to hear things around you. They are also water resistant for runs in the rain.

I bought these for my wife so she could hear ambient sounds while riding her bike, and as a Beats user I was skeptical of the sound quality. Long story short, they sound great, have great battery life and are more comfortable and stay on better than my Beats. I will be buying a pair for me next!

For the desired goal, these headhones are excellent. They provide surprisingly good sound through the bone conduction technology while still keeping your ears open for surrounding sounds. I honestly don't really notice the outside noise while wearing these either. Obviously, they're not going to provide the same quality of sound that in-ear or on-ear headphones will provide, but frankly I hate having things in and over my ears. They are extremely comfortable, too. When the sound is off, I often forget I have them on. My ONLY complaint is the occasional inconsistency in alerts for calls and such. That's why the overall rating of four stars. If it was an option, I rate them at a 4.5 to 4.75 stars. These fit the bill for me quite well and I highly recommend them. Give them a try.

East to pair, good sound and volume, pretty comfortable and seems to be a secure when active

Bought these after reading reviews and talking to runners. They did not disappoint. My husband uses them for work, and I use them for running. We just bought one pair, and they work great for both of us. The mic is clear when talking to others, the sound is great for talking or listening to music. We have paired them to his phone, my phone, and an iPad. We do re-pair them when switching devices, but that's mostly because the device they were previously used with is still within range. It's a very easy process. For running, I love that I can still hear traffic and other people who may be coming behind me. I also love that there's not a wire on my neck (I just tuck the back under my headband, and it stays perfectly). I've run up to 10 miles at once with no issues whatsoever. My husband uses them at work for phone calls throughout the day. We just put them on the charger after we are done, and they are ready to go for the next person or day. They are truly great earbuds!

I have used my current Shokz for the last 4 years a recommend to all my friends looking for earphones or buds. Even have them try mine out. They are fabulous. Just ordered 3rd pair.

This is the 5th pair I have bought either for myself or someone else. I love these! Comfortable, battery life is great, and I can hear what is going on around me. These work very well in the car. I have loss of hearing and still have no problems with the clarity.

I had my doubts, early technology or what not, but I LOVE THESE THINGS. I always lost one or both of the wireless earbuds (gone through at least 3, from Apple, to Samsung, to Skullcandy) and while those were fine quality-wise, I'd always lose one or both. THIS is less intrusive than any buds, literally can't sense they're there after a few minutes. I've slept in them. I've worked out in them. I've driven in the car in them. They're FABULOUS. I can't compare them to other bone-conduction sets, but if you want to listen to podcasts while still hearing the world around you, these are the PERFECT solution. Note: I haven't tried them with music, but I've had phone calls in them and also, aforementioned podcast. They'll buzz if they're too loud, it's a little weird, but I regret buying this piece not one bit. Highly recommmended.

Now that I've switched to these Bone Conduction headphones while running – I'll never go back to anything else! The sound is way better than expected. Battery life is great. The design is lightweight.

It is nice not to have earbuds that go inside the ear which tend to be uncomfortable. Sound quality is clear and good. Also being able to hear the surrounding environment as a plus.

Love these headphones. I wear them working (driving) because I can hear traffic plus crystal clear sound. I have come to hate the two buds models because I always drop one or one doesn't connect. No trouble here. Calls are clear on both ends too. Lose a star because I don't think volume is loud enough at times and when you turn it all the way up, the vibration can be annoying at times. Also battery is maybe 8 hours while I'm working which could be better. But, I've tried them all and for the money these are my keepers, my everyday headphones. I wear them all day and they are never uncomfortable because I don't have a bud jammed in my ear. Wonderful for the gym.

This headset is finally perfected. Comfort, long lasting battery, and great sound. Well worth the little extra cost. You have to take into consideration how much safer these are in comparison to other personal listening devices. Being able to hear your surroundings can absolutely save your life! You won't regret it!

Very happy with these, have had them for a while now and are still working like new. The Bluetooth has a long range which is nice. Comfortable to wear and I like the bone conduction so I can still hear and communicate with others while working.

I absolutely love these headphones. I use them as my all day wear. I take all my conference calls with them and then go for a run. Battery life is perfect for a full day. I was super surprised with the sound quality. It’s great and absolutely perfect for what I need them for while being really comfortable.

Easily the best bone conduction brand and this model is finally light enough to be worn for hours without actually noticing. This is my second set of AfterShokz (first set is 4 years old) and the improvement in weight reduction, sound quality and battery life are all worth the upgrade.

These work great. The sound quality is surprisingly good. Don't expect to get studio quality sound, but it is plenty good for the average user. Comfortable for wearing a long time. Easily fits different sized heads. It is nice to be able to hear surroundings while listening to whatever I'd like.

Overall a decent set of headphones for what they are. Earbuds will always sound better but for comfort, these can't be beat. Could use a but more bass but its not in ear so I can live with that.
