Great headphones—the best for running!

Great headphones—the best for running! Super easy setup, light and comfortable to wear, and good audio quality while still allowing other sounds to come through for safety.

Great, could be perfect with tweaks

I ordered OpenRun as a runner who largely can’t run without music. These are a great solution for a lot of issues I was having with traditional earbuds, most notably that in summer months or inclement weather, they could slip or fall out. These are very comfortable by design, and the battery lasts very long. I got the smaller size and I’m very glad; the large would certainly have been too big for my head. Some folks complained about the lower quality of the bass, but I saw no significant difference.
My two areas for improvement (keeping me from rating 5 stars):
1. Volume - I live in a commercial area, and when I run there are many trucks, trains, etc. passing by. While I’m sympathetic to the fact that by design these are meant for one to be able to hear their surroundings, my music is drowned out almost entirely when a truck or train passes (or frankly, even gusty winds). For me, the volume needs to be able to go louder — the point is to focus on the music and be aware of surroundings, not have the music as a background to the noise of my surroundings.
2. The control button (to start/stop/skip songs etc.) - For whatever reason, I have a semi-frequent issue of trying to pause or skip a song, and instead “re-dialing” the last phone number on my call history. I immediately try to hang up but inevitably I get a call back seconds later from whomever I’ve just called, and it ends up being quite the disruption to my run. There’s no way to turn this setting off, so it would be great if there was one button for music function and one for phone.

Good stuff

These fit well and stay put during long bike rides and puttering around the yard. Connect w my android easily. Sound is clear and decent quality, but I'm not looking for super refined sound.
I am still getting used to the control buttons. They could be placed in a more intuitive location, I sometimes have to poke around to find them. But not a horrible set up.
Have been using for just a few weeks. Cannot speak to the water resistance or longevity.
The charger cable is a unique magnetic connection, so don't lose the cable.
Bought these to replace my Plantronics Backbeat Fit, which I used for years and loved. But their current Backbeat model has issues so I needed to find something else.

Great quality, great sound. My only complaint is I bought the mini because the aftershokz I had would irritate my sides. I thought they were too big so got mini. The mini seem to do the same thing. Not really sure why.

My next-generation purchase.

I bought these to replace an older version of this pair. I was very happy with the performance and longevity of the older pair. And they really have upgraded the quality of the newer version. I'm very happy.

So happy I bought them! I can listen to music and hear surrounding conversation without having to turn volume down or continue pulling out my earbuds.
