My third pair of shokz. I ran over the first pair. Loved them and bought a seconed pair. They are great but won't last a full work day so I bought a pair of openrun to use as a back up after the battery died on my Air. Good set of headphones but they have a proprietary charger cord and that is a major pain having to keep that cord around all of the time.
volume button broke a year and half in. right after two years it got all distorted and unusable. Filed a ticket with a support and never heard back. very disappointing.
I love Shokz so much that I have a little Shokz graveyard where the ones that no longer work have gathered. The main reasons I buy them are 1) I can hear things around me while running and listening to music or podcasts, and 2) they can survive getting wet. Additionally, the warranty is nice and hassle-free if they don’t work. I have a son with some hearing loss, and Shokz work better for him than regular headphones. I do wish they held up over time a little better, but that’s the only thing I’d change about them.
I use my OpenRuns to watch Netflix, Hulu, and the others on my 14 inch tablet. Usually start around 9am and sometimes to 10pm. I'm 74, retired, and homebound. The battery lasts all day. Guess voice doesn't use as much juice as music. I never take them off all day, most of the time forget I have them on. Sounds awesome. Pause and play at the push of a button. Love them!
