Not Shocked

I started with the Shokz OpenMove, and wore them for 5 years before wearing them out. Excellent starting point. Then Got the OpenRun. They took a couple of days to get used to, they feel different than the OpenMove. Once I made peace with the fact that they simply felt a little different, they became more comfortable. I wear them while running, while cleaning, and while making pasta in the kitchen. They have been great!
I've had a pair of Mini's since before the brand name change (2021) which still work great, I just wanted a duplicate pair to have one at home and one in my office. The only time they're not comfortable is when I want to lay horizontal on my side, as that's the only time the weight of my head pushes into the headphone. I also got my folks each a pair of the OpenRun (2022 Xmas). My mom wears hers every day, and on one side/over-ear-piece, the rubber cover is peeling away (June 2024...we think it relates to her sunscreen/sweat while gardening). They still work otherwise.
I’ll never go back to in ear headphones. They are so easy to use and set up. You can hear everything around you and very good for hearing cars while running in the countryside. Would recommend for runners who live in any area and that like to listen to music while running without worrying about headphones falling out.
Very good - one big downside is the annoying (and super loud if wearing ear plugs) system beep sounds (every time any of button pressed) - designers please provide an option to mute those beeps or adjust volume of these beeps.
Simply love them! I wear these daily. I get ear infections with inner ear headphones. These are a blessing! Also, I can take calls while driving without putting people on speaker and still hear if there is a signal behind it in front of me! I have tried knock offs and they don’t fit. Sound crappy and horrible battery. Shokz have all day battery, sound great, noise canceling for calls and the mini’s fit my small head!
