Love these headphones! The sound is good and I like being able to hear trucks coming when I run. I also run in the rain or sometimes run into sudden downpours… and I like that I don’t have to worry about water damage like my last headphones. Bought a second set since I love them so much!
This is my third pair of Shokz, I have gotten multiple years out of them with daily use. Previous pairs I have even been in the pool with them on, forgetting they were even there, dropped countless times, and they have always performed.
Before I got my OpenRuns I used AirPod Pros with transparency mode turned on while running. After a month with the OpenRuns I have yet to use my AirPods for a run. There is just something so freeing not having anything in your ears and I do not miss the occasional drip of sweat getting in my ear. The sound quality is exactly what I expected, perfect to hear your music but also what’s going on around you. For podcast I do seem to need to turn them way up in order to make out what they’re talking about. Overall the OpenRuns have not disappointed me for my 20 runs and about 15 hours. And the battery is excellent I am on charge 2 and it is still telling me “battery is high” when I turn it on.
I love these OpenRun headphones. They are easy to use and clear, and I love that I can hear my surroundings. The longest I've used them is about 4 hours, and there's been no problem with holding a charge. I primarily listen to podcasts, so if the surroundings are loud (like walking near a busy street) it is a bit more difficult to hear, even with the volume up high. I like that my ear canals no longer ache from having in-ear buds, and I also like that the left/right are connected, so much less likely to lose and they will not fall out when active. I did choose the mini, which work well for me. In the cold weather when wearing a sock-hat, I do struggle with keeping my ears warm while not conflicting with the headband behind the neck. But all in all, quite pleased.
So far so good trying the new headphones. Don’t have to worry about them falling out of my ears while at the gym. They are very comfortable and I can still hear when someone talks to me.
Great fit with mini. Connectivity and battery life are great. 4.5/5 really. The vibration tickles a bit at higher volumes and and hard to sit back with neck band... but so great in everyothe way.
