I have small ears

I got the Minis because I have a small head and smaller ears. They don’t feel tight enough and fall down on my ears and they leave sore spots on my head. I should have gotten the ear bud style.
my third pair over many years...not because of any product failures, but I put them through constant use in difficult conditions and they perform wonderfully till I do something stupid and break them! I have tried at least 7 others over the years and Shokz are so good I can't take the risk of getting anything else when it comes time to replace/upgrade. Bone conduction vs in-the-ear is superior because I have complete situational awareness while using them. Try them, you will NOT be disappointed!
No regrets at all, these were everything I wanted. It took a little getting used to because the band sticks out a little in the back, so it sometimes makes my hair lay weird, but absolutely worth the quality! If I wear them for multiple hours in a row they start to give me a little bit of a headache but still completely happy with them. Easy controls, great sound!
I bought these because I dislike in the ear type headphones. The in-the-ear type are always falling out and I could never get a good fit. The sound with SHOKZ is very good. My two suggestions for improvement would be both solved with an adjustable head band or if I had a bigger head. SHOKZ needs a little more tension at the contact points and a more snug band around the back of my head. I hear calls and music fine but if I hold them slightly more snug, they sound even better. When I lean back against a chair, the offset band is annoying but bearable. Still, I wouldn't give them up because they are way better than in the ear.
The Open Run are an excellent pair of headphones. As you'll probably read in most reviews about bone conduction headphones, the bass could be a little stronger in these, but unless you're super into having a lot of bass, these should be just fine. I bought the Mini version, which is nice to have because it fits my head a little better and I have less band sticking out the back. Overall, excellent sound and battery life. My one wish is that there was some way to keep them in position better, because Iv noticed sound quality is better when they're closer to my ear, but they keep wanting to slide forward.
