The sole complaint I have
on November 4, 2022
Posted by: Christopher W.
The sole complaint I have about these - and pretty much all the models - is that they don't quite fit with larger Neanderthal skulls like mine. After a while they start to hurt to wear.
Love my headphones. They make my walks so much safer now that I can hear my surroundings. My only complaint is that the neck frame is too large for those of us with smaller heads. As a result it gets easily bumped and won’t stay in the proper position for good sound.
Best Bone Conduction Headphone - 2 years using experience

As a cyclist, I bought an AfterShokz Aeropex Tour De France special series (left in photo) about 2 years ago. The using experience is amazing, and it made me a loyal user of Shokz. I bought the new Openrun (right), an upgraded version from Aeropex. And it performs quite well as expected.
Pros: - Best sound effect around bone-conduction headphones - Excellent wearing experience, light-weight, skin friendly - Glasses compatible, helmets compatible - Water proof, sweat proof - Quick charge
Cons: - Not so convenient to control play list - though it have a button to switch next/previous song. - If use in max volume, some voice may be heard by others around you. (I usually use it in 50% volume, and it will work quitely to others.)
I had the OG shokz and I liked them. But I upgraded to AirPods Pro when the new ones came out. They wasn’t what I wanted. Got the new open runs and am not buying anything but these from now on. Love them.
With the latest update to Microsoft Teams this headset beeps constantly when on mute rendering them useless for what I purchased them for. Loved them until this started happening.
So far I'm very happy with these. I have used them for mountain biking, listening to podcasts while doing chores / errands, and taking phone calls while driving. The sound quality is excellent and I love being able to hear what's going on around me. I still need to turn the volume down or pause when talking to others, but I hear enough of the surrounding noise that I don't feel like I'm in a bubble the way I do with over-ear Sony or noise cancelling earbuds.
Amazing device. Very long battery life, super quick charging. Easy pairing and controlling music player, or taking phone calls. I used it on the pickleball courts all the time all the way to the shower. Love it
