The open runs are comfortable

The open runs are comfortable on your ears and do not impair your ability to hear what going on around you. The sound quality is great with music and voices. Enjoy using them.
I absolutely am enthused with my mini open runs. Great sound quality more than enough volume in tough situations. I used mine while riding mu Harley Triglide and was amazed. I actually at times had to turn down the volume. Excellent in the gym. Glad I found a pair to try before buying, as all 3 Best Buy in my area demo units did not work to that you could try before you buy.
My husband received a pair of Shokz headphones as a gift. After I tried his on, I didn't want to give them back so we ordered a pair for me that same day. During the holidays, we visited a family member who tried mine on, liked them and so he purchased his own pair a few days later. After that, we purchased this same family member's wife a pair for her birthday. Everyone who tries these on likes the fact that they're so comfortable and easy to wear. You can literally go all day often forgetting you have them on and you can still hear everything else in your environment even when listening to music or a pod. They're convenient for phone calls and listening to audio content online (they also lend a layer of privacy when listening to audio messages via SMS). I haven't used any of my other headphones since discovering Shokz. The one drawback is they're not great for listening to loud music, but at a regular volume they work fine. I guess that's not really a drawback since they're probably preserving my hearing in the long run, lol.
Opted for the mini size using the measurement guide, and I'm happy with the fit. Sound quality is as expected…It's a compromise. Street traffic, Gym music, and conversations definitely impinge on your listening experience, but that is point. For the Gym, I prefer my Apple AirPods for the sound quality and focus.
The headphones work very well. I run on a lot of streets and where I need to be aware of my surroundings. These allow me to hear everything around me and still be able to listen to my music. I’ve also used these for works periodically and they do well. Like others have shared, they are so comfortable that I forget I’m wearing them often.
Thought I was a fathead so I got the big ones in retrospect. Probably should have got the small once they hang out a little far on the back of my head and my sweatshirt hood catches them all the time
