Overall, I am very satisfied with the quality of my Open Runs. I love that I can hear what's happening around me. The headphones are durable, comfortable and the battery life is excellent. I would like if the sound quality was a little better, especially the base range. Also, after wearing them for extended periods, the area behind my ear seems to get a bit sore. Also, the button for skipping songs is difficult for me to use.
Definitely Maybe! Remember that movie? Ryan Reynolds puts fictional ear buds in his beautiful ears and walks to his daughter’s school. But wait, yikes, he almost gets hit by a bus. He turns around and mouths “Thank you,” to the guy who saved him. Both of them cannot hear anything except the music channeling through their plugged up ears.
Well, those earbuds are no longer fiction, and getting hit by a bus can definitely happen anytime there’s one around.
BUT, these Shokz bone-conduction ear phones are my dream come true. Open ears. No uncomfortable pressure points. No removing one when I need to hear someone talking to me.
As far as sound quality it’s great unless it’s a really basey song. Also, if you’re in an extremely noisy situation and have to turn them WAY up they will vibrate against your head. (Like when you’re using a power sprayer to wash a bus;)
However, if you’ve ever wished you could have your soundtrack playing while you go about your day looking as cool as Ryan Reynolds, this is the way!
My brother loves them and said sound quality is amazing, so since my Treks aren’t holding much of a charge anymore, I thought I’d give these a shot. Unfortunately OpenRun didn’t fit behind my ear properly with my hearing aids, so I had to return them. I have OpenMove now, and they fit better, but I can’t hear things as well with those as I could with my Treks. I have to turn them all the way up to hear things clearly but the vibration ends up hurting my head after a while. I hope they bring back the Treks at some point soon because those were perfect for me.
Wish I hadn’t waited so long to buy these headphones. I still can’t believe how good the sound is and how comfortable they are. I would give ten stars if they had an adjustable slider back to snug it up to my head. It’s impossible to lie down with these on.
It’s very comfortable. It changes the way I received musics/ songs while still able to listen to my surroundings. It is useful for in office, hiking, or running outdoor. Its quality is good. I gave it a four out of five stars because I believe there is more innovation and perfection that can be uplift the product further.
I love to fall asleep to podcasts, but I’m also a parent so I need my ears available to hear a crying kiddo. These headphones are SO comfortable that I wake in the morning with them still on my head. For running, they deliver great bass bumps while allowing me to hear the jerk goose trying to hiss at me as I pass by (not today goose!). I use these more than my AirPods because those routinely fall out of my ears despite adjusting the earpiece fit, and Shokz leave me with no sweaty/itchy ears.
