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!
After trying what feels like every headphone on the planet, I settled on Shockz a few years ago. Fell in love and just purchased my second pair. Thank you for making the smaller size, these are perfect.
I have always wanted to have the “minis” because my head is small and I usually listen to music & podcast lying down but there is no much difference with the “pros” which I also have since I lift the band up and they are very comfortable that way. The Pro’s sound is much better but I love them both.
