The mini is a perfect size for me. I can wear them all day, they don’t effect my ability to be aware of everything going on around me. I am able to clearly carry on phone conversations. I would give it a 5, but the one thing I can’t do is enable my husband and I to listen to device at the same time each wearing an open run.
I can't wear earbuds but over the ear headphones are uncomfortable with glasses. My OpenRuns are great. The small size is perfect for me. They blend in with my hair. It doesn't even look like I'm wearing headphones.
I run every two days and normal earphones were getting too dirty because of sweat and wax from ear canals. This is not just the solution but a great one at that. They are sweat proof and provide great sound. Plus I am now much more aware of my surroundings when I train no matter the weather or the training because thanks to battery life I charge them maybe once every week.
For what I used them for they worked awesome. I ride a motorcycle and was afraid to use regular headphones to were by the time I stopped they would be blasting into my ears and getting shoved into my ear canals and So I found these. Now for them not designed for being worn in a motorcycle helmet and adapting to it they work amazingly with ear plugs. Sadly they were in my bag that got stolen. I will be purchasing another shokz headphones. Thank you!
