Love using the shokz over

Love using the shokz over inside the ear headphones. Great for activities where hearing surrounding environment is important. Just wish switching between devices was more automatic.
These are my second pair. I lost my first pair and literally could not be left without these fabulous headphones. The music is clear, as is the phone calls. I have tried most of the headphones and earbuds, but these check all the boxes.
Not quite true, actually, but it was a major selling point. My stepson showed us his Open Run headphones and I was shocked by how good the sound was. That they did not stick in my ears or have large pads was a huge plus. I get 1-2 days of use out of them at work between meetings, taking calls, and listening to YouTube. Their range is good enough I can walk to the other side of my home (smallish condo) or to a printer well away from my desk without any dropping or loss of integrity. They are perfect if you can't have anything in your ears, ear buds never stay, or over the ear style headphones are uncomfortable. And I do love that I can maintain my situational awareness well 😉
I have used the OpenRun a couple times while running on my treadmill. I love the sound quality and how comfortable they are. I have yet to use them for a phone call. I bought them because my son has recommended them as the best and I have to agree.
I can listen in both ears without worry that my piercings are aggravated. Like how they hook around ear so they don’t fall out. Sound quality during phone calls is okay. I wish they didn’t vibrate when I want to turn the volume high. They lack in musical depth. I was a little concerned when I saw there was a prop 65 warning
They work great. They feel great. However they have a unique charger that is a pain. A normal charger would make the product 5 stars. The charger works fine but a "special" charger us just greedy.
I love the convenience of my OpenRuns. I work as a handyman/carpenter/woodworker and I appreciate that I can listen to music, hear what’s going on around me, and not have to remove them to put in hearing protection. I’ve tried other bluetooth earbuds but none of them stay in my ears, even with over-the-ear loops. Shokz solve that problem beautifully. The sound won’t win any audiophile awards but that’s not why I got them. For me it’s a winner for ease of use and the sound is good enough for me. Battery life is as advertised or better. Happy with my purchase. Wish they came with a hard case, though.
