Need USB-C connection
on July 17, 2024
Posted by: Lisa
I love my Openrun Pros -- but it's time to make it standard with a USB-C version -- everything has switched over and I had to pull out a retired plug in order to charge my headset. boo.... tbh, not using a "standard" charging cable is a negative in and of itself...... without the USB-C connection is an additional demerit, imho.

Perfect for my needs
on July 11, 2024
Posted by: Edward M.
I bought my Shokz OpenRun (not Pro) headphones to use for bike rides, since I need to be able to hear my surroundings for safety reasons. They’re awesome for that and so much more. I mostly use them to listen to audiobooks (Libby FTW!) and podcasts, and I can generally hear just fine up to about 20 MPH. Faster than that, and wind noise starts to become an issue, but that’s not a problem with the headphones.
What surprised me is how much I wear them when I’m doing chores or even when running out to the grocery store. I use them much more than my AirPods.
Pros: very comfortable, don’t interfere with a bike helmet, excellent battery life, better than expected sound quality, very good call quality for the microphone
Cons: some people (i.e., my wife) find the on/off/volume controls to be unintuitive, but personally I find them easy to use

Shokz is the only headphone set I have found that I can use with my hearing aids. Great sound, too!

Great headset, unimpressed with magnetic charging cable
on May 25, 2024
Posted by: Becky
I left my original shokz headset somewhere whole traveling and replaced it with a mini. I love the way the mini fits my head, and it sounds ggreat.
The lack of the 5th star is due to the magnetic connector on the charging cable. It, simply, does not stay connected while charging. Multiple times I have connected the headset to the cable at night, only to have an uncharged headset in the morning. Yes, I verifed that the charging light was on. I have had the same problem when charging during the day. This is my only complaint, but it is a disappointment.

Love My Shokz
on May 8, 2024

I have Open Run Pro Shokz and I use them exclusively for bike rides to stay on the route. I can't even tell they are on my head. They always work well and are very clear. I couldn't be happier. I ordered an extra set of charging cables to keep with my charger cords for traveling I'm all set!!

Not ideal for air travel
on May 4, 2024
Posted by: Juan L.
Not ideal for air travel due to exterior noise canceling out the headphone sound. Otherwise, great product.

great style of headphones
on April 29, 2024

I just replaced the charging cord I lost. I love my headphones. It's nice having a pair where I can still hear if someone is talking to me or be aware of my surroundings on a walk.
