Shokz - OpenRun Pro Premium Bone Conduction Open-Ear Sport Headphones - Blue

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!

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 love this headset! Once you've used a bone conduction headset, you won't want anything else. It uses the bones in your head to transmit the sound, leaving your ears open to hear ambient sound so it's safer for driving because you can still hear the important sounds around you. An added bonus is comfort. Instead of wearing something inside your ear, these wrap around your ears and rest in front of your ears. The sound quality is great. You can talk on the phone, listen to music, etc. You can also answer/hang up the phone from the headset. It has a pretty great range too. I can wear them all over my house and they connect to my phone without any problems. In short, I'll never go back to using traditional ear buds. These are way better!
