Piece of Mind While Running
on June 29, 2023
Posted by: Diane G.
I saw these advertised on FB but wasn't sure if they would work for me until I talked to other runners at a race recently. I ordered as soon as I got home and have used them twice so far. I feel so much safer being able to hear bicyclist on bike trails and traffic on roads. Looking forward to using them in my first race in which I never wanted to have my hearing compromised.

Battery life is TERRIBLE

Lasted 3.5 hours into my marathon fully charged before dying on me. Luckily I had another pair in my bag because that could have been disastrous. Battery life is nowhere near advertised, and my headphones are only 3 months old.

I have several pairs of

I have several pairs of Shokz products, Sportz M3, Xtrainers, OpenConn, and now the OpenRun. They are all comfortable, the sound is amazing, and the battery life is good.
I chose the OpenRun over the Pro is because the water resistance is higher than the pro version, and I tend to train in all sorts of weather conditions including heavy rain. The headphones are really light, and barely feel like they are there. The sound quality is crisp and clear with minimal vibrations at high volumes.
The only downside is that in exceptionally noisy environments, the sound can be drowned out, but that is not what they are designed for. But moderate noise you can still hear your music, audiobook, or podcast.

Why did I wait so long to buy these?
on June 29, 2023
Posted by: Scot P.
Really enjoy Openrun model. Great sound quality, easy to use, and I can hear what is happening around me when riding road and mtn bike. They also fit under ear miffs when mowing. Surprisingly the phone call / receive works very well. People on other end can hear me just dine, and vice versa. Never have to worry about them falling off, and so far battery life has been great. This was a very good purchase that I should have done a long time ago.

A Family Hooked
on June 28, 2023
Posted by: Nicole S.
My husband has enjoyed these headphones for over 2 year. I finally got myself a pair since I don't like being cut off from my surroundings during my walks. I've enjoyed staying connected with my surroundings but still able to listen to my media, talk with friends and all with a comfortable tool. My ears tend to be sensitive to pressure so my in ear headphones have a pretty limited timeline where these I can wear for hours and hours.

Light weight & good for music & being outdoors
on June 28, 2023

I like these headphones a lot. I only gave them Three stars becuase I can't easily switch between two phones or phone & tablet. There is no app for them. I also can't adjust the ringtone in my ear to hear incoming calls when not listening to music.

Great Product
on June 28, 2023

I’m an avid runner, who also has some visual limitations that make reading difficult. I had an older set of earbuds with over the ear hooks, but they needed replacing. Although I was really excited about the bone conduction / open ear concept for safety, I didn’t expect very good sound quality. I was very pleasantly surprised! Although I’m sure these aren’t the same as modern in-ear speakers, they sound great. Bass is perhaps a little weak, and if you turn volume way up on a song with a lot of bass frequencies, they make my ears tickle!
Holds charge as advertised, paired easily with my iPhone, and the tactile pause/play and volume buttons are easy to use.
I have used these extensively for music while running, for podcasts, and for audiobooks. I’ve also use them at times for phone calls while I am out on a walk. The microphones work surprisingly well unless it is windy, and then the sound quality deteriorates quite a bit. I imagine this would be true for any product with a microphone near your ear, and not closer to your mouth.
They are unbelievably comfortable, to the point that I often forget I have them on, and have even lied down to go to sleep at night, and then realized I still have them on my head!
I bought the standard size, although I was right on the border between standard and mini. I almost wish I had bought the mini as the stiff band that goes around the back your head protrudes enough that it is annoying if I am lying down or in the car. I wonder if the mini would also allow a slightly tighter press of the speakers against my cheekbones.

All in all, I highly recommend these, and would definitely buy them again myself.
