Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice, comfortable design. So light I often forget I have them on. I use them in the office and in the gym. You can take a call or enjoy music while still being aware of your surroundings. They are not the loudest, but the Shokz app allows you to do a loudness boost, adjust EQ for podcasts, bass boost, treble boost, and even toggle on the classic bone induction feature. These headphones do not perform well in loud environments as they are an open design. They charge to 100% in about 1.5 hours.

Wow, so comfortable. Sound is excellent. People next to you won't hear anything. Especially useful when running. Solid fit. The sound EQ's are really impressive. The vibrations on Classic mode feel tingly at the beginning but then you get used to them. I mostly have it on Standard, so no vibration. Since they are bone conducing and sit infront of the ear, you still hear everything around you, so they are safe for driving as well. Battery lasts for several days and charges quick.

I’ve owned the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Mini bone conduction headphones for about a month now, and they’ve completely changed how I listen to audio while staying active. Whether I’m running, biking, or just walking the dog, these headphones are exactly what I didn’t know I needed. They strike a near-perfect balance between situational awareness and high-quality sound, all while staying incredibly comfortable. I opted for the Mini version because I have a smaller head and wanted a more snug fit. That choice paid off. These sit securely without ever feeling tight or shifting out of place, even during intense workouts. The lightweight design makes them easy to forget you’re wearing, and there’s no pressure on the ears like traditional earbuds. If you’re someone who’s had discomfort with in-ear or over-ear headphones during exercise, these are absolutely worth considering. The bone conduction tech might sound gimmicky at first, but it’s actually super practical. The transducers rest just in front of your ears, which means your ear canals are open and free to hear everything around you—traffic, people, announcements at the gym. This is especially important for outdoor running and cycling where safety is a concern. I feel much more aware of my environment while still enjoying my music or podcasts. Sound quality was my biggest concern going in, but the OpenRun Pro 2 Mini has really impressed me. For bone conduction, the audio is surprisingly rich. Bass response is stronger than I expected, and voices come through clean and clear. Are they going to compete with audiophile headphones? No—but that’s not the point. These are designed for active use, and for that purpose, they sound fantastic. I’ve taken calls with them too, and the microphone quality is solid—people on the other end had no trouble hearing me, even with some wind in the background. Battery life is another win. I typically use them for about an hour or two each day, and I only need to charge them once a week, sometimes even less. Shokz claims 10 hours of use per charge, and that feels accurate. Even better, there’s a quick charge feature that gives you a good hour or so of playback with just a few minutes of charging. That’s saved me more than once when I forgot to plug them in the night before. Bluetooth connection is rock solid. It pairs instantly with my phone and has never dropped mid-workout. The onboard buttons for volume and play/pause are easy to locate and use without looking, and I appreciate that I don’t have to reach for my phone to change tracks or answer a call. Pros: • Open-ear comfort – No pressure on ears and fits snugly, especially with the Mini size • Situational awareness – You can hear your surroundings without losing your music • Surprisingly good sound – Strong bass and clear vocals for bone conduction tech • Long battery life – Easily lasts through the week with regular use • Quick charge feature – Fast top-ups when you’re in a rush • Reliable Bluetooth – Instant pairing and stable connection • Lightweight and secure – Doesn’t move during intense activity Cons: • Sound leaks a bit at higher volumes – Not a big deal outdoors, but noticeable in quiet settings • Not ideal in very loud environments – Background noise can overpower your audio • Buttons can feel a little small if you’re wearing gloves – Minor issue, but worth noting Final Thoughts: After a month of using the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Mini, I’m seriously impressed. They’re well-designed, functional, and a joy to use during any kind of physical activity. If you value comfort, safety, and audio quality while on the move, these are absolutely worth the price. They’ve become a permanent part of my workout routine—and honestly, I’m not sure how I managed without them.

This is the best Bluetooth “earbud” device I’ve ever used. The ones I’ve used in the past had buds that were inserted inside the ear and would not stay in, my ears are small. These go over the, around the back of the neck and the buds actually rest outside the ear and stay in place. Since the total unit is one piece, they don’t get lost like some earbuds when they fall out of your ear. Also, the battery capacity is amazing, not needing to be charged for days on end. The hearing quality and transmitting quality is very good. The unit powers up and mates very quickly. The only change I would be happier with is if the neck piece fit closer to my head/neck were just a little more snugly, so if I wanted to lay down on my back or lean my head back against my chair, there wouldn’t be in push-back pressure. I purchased the mini size which is the smallest made, but there is slight interference with my coat collar and leaning my head against the back of the chair…. Even so, this is a great option to replace typical inside-the-ear-buds.

I’m extremely impressed with Shokz Openrun Pro 2 headphones. The open-ear design is a game changer. It allows me to enjoy music and calls while still being aware of my surroundings, which is perfect for workouts, walking and daily activities. They are very comfortable, lightweight and don’t cause ear fatigue even after long hours of use. The sound quality is clear and well balanced for an open-ear headset, and call quality is excellent. Battery life is reliable, and they charge quickly. I also appreciate how durable and sweat-resistant they are, making them ideal for an active lifestyle. Overall, Shokz headphones deliver great performance, comfort, and safety. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality, open-ear headphones that fit seamlessly into everyday life.

As a retired police officer, situational awareness is second nature to me—and safety is always a top priority. The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Mini absolutely nails that balance between focus and awareness. While I’m crushing my workouts in the gym, I can still hear what’s happening around me without losing the beat of my favorite playlist. The open-ear bone conduction design lets me stay alert to my surroundings—no more worrying about someone sneaking up or equipment dropping nearby. The sound quality blew me away: deep bass, crisp highs, and all with zero ear fatigue. The fit is secure, lightweight, and perfect for long training sessions. These aren’t just headphones—they’re a fitness safety tool for anyone who values awareness as much as performance. I use them every day, and they’ve become part of my training routine and peace of mind. In short: phenomenal sound, unmatched comfort, and the priceless ability to stay safe and aware. Highly recommended—especially for those who take safety seriously while pushing their limits! @realfreedomjesse

Great product, they have long battery life and when need to charge they charge fast. I’m actually wearing them at the moment. They are comfortable and the sound of them are perfect.

Shokz headphones are fantastic. Lightweight, comfortable, and have solid battery life. Worth the money spend for its quality.

The sound quality leaves something to admire but that's what you get with bone conduction headphones. That being said I wear these everywhere. They are so comfortable and so handy to listen to music or answer calls on the go while also being aware of your surroundings. They are compatible with USB-C type chargers and they charge fully 10-15 minutes.

I have a set of noise cancelling over the hear headphones as well as a set of noise cancelling earbuds. Between the two I very much prefer my headphones, but it can make it tough at work when I want to be able to hear when people talk to me. It also makes me seem less approachable, which can be good, but many times it can detrimental. My wife bought these a few months ago to use at work and loves them, so I decided to try them as well. I originally bought the regular Pro 2 (not Mini) and they were too big and sat a little too loose, so I got these instead and they fit much better. They take some getting used to but are not uncomfortable, and I, like my wife, find that they are, indeed, perfect for work. Now I can hear what's going on around me when I need to while listening to music or an audio book. Sound quality is decent considering what they are. It's a little hollow when compared to my over-ear headphones, especially with audiobook narration, but it's definitely not bad by any means. If I cup my hands over my ears the sound quality goes up dramatically, but that's to be expected. The interesting thing is I can use these while wearing ear plugs and hear the audio from the headphones just fine, which I think will come in handy if I'm ever working on something noisy (e.g. mowing the grass) and want to listen to music or an audio book without sweating into over ear headphones profusely and still protect my hearing at the same time. One additional note is I bought these as Open Box - Excellent, and they were in perfect shape and included everything. I'm assuming someone bought them and tried them on and didn't like the fit and returned them, just like I did with the regular Pro 2.

3great headset fits good sounds amazing comfortable Fitbit

[Employee of bestbuy] This Headset is super nice. The only thing is that it’s not water proof.!Water and sweat resistant. Sound is great calls on iphone may have to be reconnected after a fresh charge. The charge on it is easy 12 to. 20 hours, I started at 100 percent at 8 am and the next day at 9 am i checked it was down to 35 percent, Yes i listened and made calls all day and listened to pod cast while I slept. They are comfortable, They are not noise canceling.

Very lightweight and comfortable, long, lasting battery and really does come in handy to be listening to music, but also aware of your surroundings

Great sound very very comfortable to wear for 8 hours straight. The one thing is there just not loud enough for me and my work environment. I still give it a 5 start because thats on me.

I bought my openrun pro 2 minis about three weeks ago and I have absolutely loved them! They’re so comfortable and the sound is so much better than i imagined! Going on my outdoor runs with these makes me feek safe knowing I can hear whats happening while still enjoying my music or listening to podcasts during my runs. Super happy and I have recommended them to a lot of people so far!

I absolutely love this product. The sound quality is great, and it is definitely an upgrade from the previous generation. My favorite thing about this product is that, when running, it doesn’t bounce around or make any weird noises. Lastly, being able to go for a run and not having to worry about rain/sweat is the biggest plus in my opinion! 5-star rating for sound quality is based off of similar products, this WILL NOT sound like in-ear or over-ear headphones, but still an awesome quality sound.

I have a smaller head so these are perfect. They have amazing battery life and awesome sound quality.

Great sound when you need to remain connected to the rest of the world. I use mine for walking/rucking so I can still hear traffic around me. They are also useful for listening while working around others but still need to be available. They are not extremely loud and that is kind of the point. I also like that they don't slip out of the ear while exercising.

I'm a big headphone enthusiast, and these have been a great addition to my collection. These bone conduction headphones work very well in relation to all day use which is about 8-10 hours. I can wear them at work all day listening to music, podcasts, or audiobooks and still be able to hear everyone when they need to talk to me. I never have to worry about them falling out of my ears when I'm moving around a lot unlike traditional wireless headphones, which is great plus. I will say however if you are working in very loud environments, these might not be as good for you as the volume can only go so high on them to compensate. In situations such as that I would recommend more traditional inner ear wireless headphones.

Bought these for work and now I can't not use them for everything. The battery life is great and it only takes less than 20 minutes to get a charge that lasts for several hours.
