Really difficult to keep in
on January 25, 2025

Really difficult to keep in place (may be just my head?) but the open ear sound is wonderful, but the volume can easily be drowned out by travel noise. That was disappointing. Maybe I should've bought a different model. I'm not thrilled but still a fan.
I have returned the head piece Couldn’t hear when driving no one could hear me talking and they would make the spot in front of my ears where they set hot
Thanks to a younger generation of workers and athletes who want their music while jogging, swimming or working out, there’s a better way to enjoy TV. I am 83, so not much of an athlete anymore. My 55 year old son told me about his experience with Shokz listening to music while he wires and installs new fire alarm panels in our local schools. So, after years of fiddling with TV ears hanging from my ears and still struggling to hear indistinct movie and TV dialog, I decided to see if it would work for me. It is EXACTLY what I have been looking for! This bone conducting technology is like what you see on Star Trek but, it’s real and it works. I can hear dialog so much more clearly and distinctly now than before. Plus, I can change the Bass, Treble, or set a custom profile as easy as tapping on my phone. They are so comfortable I often forget I have them on. Super bonus. . there are no special batteries to have on hand, no fussy foam ear adaptors to change and nothing but a Bluetooth connection to make to the TV. Only one caveat…the little buttons for on and off are a bit tiny and hard to find with old fingers.
This is my third generation of OpenRun headphones, and I've encountered a few frustrating issues with this model. Firstly, the USB-C port is quite difficult to plug in, and it requires a great deal of force, which raises concerns about potential damage to the headphones. Secondly, after the latest firmware update, I noticed that the volume does not seem as full as it was prior to the update. Additionally, the maximum run time I've experienced after a full charge is just over eight hours. While this could be an isolated issue, I find myself quite disappointed with this model overall. On a positive note, one of the key benefits is the enhanced safety I always feel while walking or jogging in public, as with the precious models. Given my experiences, I would recommend taking good care of older AfterShokz and Shokz headphone models to prolong their lifespan.
Most comfortable device I have ever used for headphones. Sound great and I can still be aware of my surroundings. I use them for running, doing housework, watching TV. Overall just a great device.
At first I thought I was paying for an overpriced headset. I wish I purchased sooner. It truly is a runners headset. Ditch the IPods or bothersome ear plugs. The sound is clear but still allows you to hear the traffic. Easy to install on your phone. Comfortable headset. You don’t even know they are on your head.
