I love my Shokz Open Run headphones. They're lightweight, comfortable, a great buy for the money and allow me to wear them while listening to music, streaming something or taking a phone call, all while leaving my ears clear to hear what's going on around me.
These are extremely comfortable headphones with great sound. I needed the "mini" size as my head is small which can be hard to find. The fit is perfect and I like how the unique shape secures the headphone over my ears. I can wear a hat when skiing and the headphones stay in place. I love how I can hear great sound with the "open-ear bone conducted transfer" headphones but also hear external sounds at the same time that will alert me to danger.
Give them to my son who has a hearing problem. He loves them and feels safer running now because he can hear bikes coming while running on the trail he trains on.
Pros; Works quite well within its inherent design limitations. Very Good sound quality. Light and comfortable. Simple to use. Works fantastic with cell phone GPS. Battery life is good. Cons; ***Size/fit matters…try before you buy.*** Doesn’t play well with winter stocking hats or ear headbands. Not for ultra hi fidelity/quality listening if that’s highest on your expectations. Cost $$$
I absolutely love them. This is my second pair, this pair dedicated to sport. I have sensitive ears and the in-ear buds annoy me and they never stay in my ears. The over ear style is amazing! Only thing I don't like is the drawstring bag to house them. I was looking forward to the oblong soft case with the magnetic flap closure. It's a more protective case than the drawstring bag. How can I get one of those again?
Most comfortable headphones ever! Lightweight. You don’t even realize you are wearing them. No more sore ears. Extremely comfortable when wearing with glasses. The sound is great and the microphone picks up your voice and transmits it without any problem - nice and clear. Easy to use and pair with phone/tablet/laptop, etc. I am so pleased with them that I bought another 3 sets as Christmas gifts.
These open run shoks are comfy and easy to use. Much lighter than my old ones. They feel solid and durable. They seem to cover more audio range also. I noticed some sounds that I could not hear with my old version.
