I bought these headphones for my husband that works out the in heat. They fit well and he enjoys them daily to listen to music while he works. My complaint is when I call him it is hard to hear him as if he is muffled. He has no complaints and wears them daily.
Battery life is quite a bit better then the earlier Aeropex Aftershokz. Sounds quality is good but not quite as loud as Aeropex. The spring band that holds them to your head is a bit more flexible which means it doesn’t press against your head as hard so is more comfortable but is also the most likely reason they don’t seem as loud (on me anyways)… I still prefer them over the other models though…
It’s a wonderful product for truck drivers. And it’s comfortable to wear all day.
I am sensitive to inner ear devices. I have tried many on ear devices and this one is perfect. Sound is good. My voice on phone calls is said to be very good. Is you want noise cancelling and hear music with great bass and treble, this will not be for you. But if you want a good fit with good sound and phone call use, this is the one. I use it while working out: phone calls, listening to music and podcasts. I also now use it over to my Bose super high end over ear wireless headphones with noise cancellation. If it holds up long term I will come back and update. But so far…EXCELLENT AND WOULD PURCHASE AGAIN!!!
Una volta indossate le “cuffie”, abbinate allo smartphone, parte la magia. La qualit del suono ottima, compatibilmente con la tipologia di prodotto, il quale, leggerissimo e non da alcun fastidio. Straordinario per le attivit sportive, ottimo anche per parlare al telefono, assolutamente consigliato. Cinque stelle su tutto
Nachdem ich mit dem AfterShokz zum Schwimmen sehr zufrieden bin, hab ich noch diese gekauft fr Meetings und zum Radfahren. Der Preis ist 50-70 Euro zu hoch, aber ich bin trotzdem zufrieden.
Die doppelte Verbindung ist etwas tricky.
Per chi ama fare sport ascoltando musica o podcast come piace a me posso solo consigliarlo. Qualit elevata dell’audio, percezione di non averlo addosso e leggerissimo. La batteria dura moltissimo.
I must say this is probably the best purchase I’ve ever did. I love these headphones. Sound quality is awesome, the ease of use is amazing. The mic is awesome, my only issue with this product is battery life, it seemed to drain fast after my first use. 2 hrs of being on it was at 50 percent. But other then that I personally love this product..
This is my second pair of bone conduction headset .
They work great,,,even better than my old previous set .
I’m very pleased,,,,,,they charge faster,,,,,and have better features .

I had bought openrun 4 yrs ago and a week ago I dropped them and a car ran over them. so I order the open run pros….everything in better. Sound and bass are amazing ..and it’s smaller to fit better for when im in the gym or just walking nyc streets. Best investment!!!
They are great for sounds, works to talk on the phone, no one complains they can’t hear me. It is a little to big, i wear a smaller then avg hat, so they move up and down in the back, they stay on fine, just bounce some.
For runners, cyclists etc, these would be brilliant. They will stick to your head and won’t fall off. For this reason only, I give it a 4 star.
The problem is that these are not headphones to sit back and relax with, say on a train or plane. They are not adjustable for size, so when you put your head back to lean on a seat head-rest, they will be pushed forward off your ears.
Furthermore, don’t be fooled in that bone conduction cannot be heard by others. It is very very audible to others untill you reduce the volume down 90% like any other headphones. For example, once I heard my phone ring and I answered it. I thought my phone was on loud speaker with low volume but then I realized it was coming out of the headphones sitting a meter away on the table.
I don’t quite understand the bone conduction part because, these are simply meshed speakers close to your ears.
In fairness however they are called openrun so I presume it is meant for sports hence the 4 star.
Love these. Best battery life I have ever had in a earpeace solution. Having the open ear is fantastic atnwork where I cant have my ears covered. Volume could be a little better, if its a loud environment it can be hard to hear. Also, can be some discomfort behind the ear if you wear glasses for a long time with the headset on, but it wasnt until after 8 hours before I even noticed it so its not bad at all, but worth mentioning for those that do wear glasses.
This is the second one I got. I returned the first one for the life battery and received a second one and work well for a while now it won’t hold a charge.
I’ve been using this for a couple weeks and I’m very happy it met my high expectations. I work at a factory so I need to be able to hear surrounding sounds, battery be able to last 10 hours for my whole shift, good sound quality, and comfortable to wear. I’m happy to report that the headphones are able to do all of them. So far I have no issues with them and recommend them to anyone who needs open ear/bone conducting headphones.
I feel like I got a new pair of ears. I put it on and went for an evening walk. Together with a clear sound of music, I can also hear birds chirping, wind going through tree leaves, my soft footsteps, and distant barking of a dog. The composer must have been hearing the same music in his mind, while he was walking in a forest, centuries ago. On Zoom I can hear what I say as usual, while listening to others talk. No more irritations in my ear canals! It is a wonderful addition to enjoy listening many different things you like, without interfering your own hearing through your ears.
Ottime cuffie che consentono di sentire musica e prendere una telefonata senza incorrere nel pericolo di isolarsi in situazioni potenzialmente pericolose come il traffico . Consigliatissime a chi fa sport .
I wish that I could wear it to bed, for my meditation at night, they are very hard and stiff and it makes my ears and head sore.
My second aftershocks earphone, excellent for sports or online chatting purpose.
I always have problems with buds staying in my ears. This solves the problem. I wish I had found these years ago. They are perfect for out hiking, hitting balls at the driving range, or working out at the gym. The sound quality is fine not great like my Boise but fine for what I’m using them for. Battery life seems about 8 hours. More than I need. I charge it every two or three days. Controls easy to use.
Alllll covered in the headline. The sound quality is very good, and I like the open design so I can also hear the ambient sound around me. They’re surprisingly comfortable to wear as well, and they’re tougher than they look, too – the only downside is the battery life, which (for me, and I run them wide open) is about an hour of heads-down continual use. I’d like for them to be a bit louder on max volume as well, but overall, a great purchase.
I love these! They are perfect for my job, which allows me to still hear what I need to and still enjoy a full days work of music. I work up to 12 to 13 hours and I have had no problems with the battery lasting that long. I kind of wish it had a way to adjust them to your head as my pony tail helps with keeping them in place. I have had ear buds and head phones and love these the most as I receive the same quality, without having them in my ears. The best thing is that it stays put.
I also bought my husband a pair as a gift, and he loves them as much as I do.
Thanks for a great product!
Appareiller oreille droite j’ai une perte de 70 % c’est incroyable d’couter des sries Netflix ou autre trs belle qualit sonore confortable enfin je suis content quoi.
J’aimerais aussi savoir si on peut connect directement le micro en direct via une application sans perte de temps afin de ressentir un son en direct
Ou mme un micro externe ?
My only gripe is both my wife and I have a pair and if we are working out at the same time it is hard to tell which is which in the bluetooth connection screens on the device we are using as the names are identical and there is no way to change them. The nice thing about our HR Bands we also use is they have a unique four digit number at the end of the name so we can easily tell them apart. I just wish these had something like that too.
Another thing (and this may be our machines) if I am connected on the bike first and she goes to connect on the treadmill it will sometimes bump my connection and pair hers to the bike and then we have to play this back and forth game to get everything to connect properly. Maybe it is because the names aren’t unique? Not sure.
Other than that they fit well, stay in place, the battery is decent, and they are a great addition to my workout routine.
Excellent product, very comfortable, and I love them for hiking and bicycling as you can hear what is still going on around you. Good for phone calls as well. My only complaint is if you turn them up, they tickle a bit on your skin. But hey, good way to not listen to music too loud. Battery life is very good and pair up easily. Great product!
I’m a runner and biker and these are fantastic. The sound quality is better than I would have ever expected. I must have sweaty ear canals, because buds just don’t stay in. I don’t like them in the gym because I prefer noise cancellation and they are a nuisance when laying on a bench. This is my 3rd pair because I keep leaving them in hotels – expensive habit.
I got these to use at work, where I need to hear background noises and conversations, but may also want to listen to decent music if the background conversation or music choice sucks they work perfectly. I’d also recommend them for outdoor activities, where maintaining situational awareness is important.
As a bonus, you kinda get to look like that mute guy in The Empire Strikes Back you know the guy, up in Cloud City. Yeah that guy.
These are great for audio books. Music sounds pretty good, definitely not the headphones one would be blasting G&R.
I have cauliflower ears due to sports, most in-ear do not fit or on-ear are uncomfortable. The Shokz are perfect.
Je travaille en openspace , je peux couter de la musique et parler aux gens autour de moi sans dificult
Je rpond au tlphone la vole et a marche trs bien .
Souvent aprs le boulot je vais courir et l encore , j’coute ma musique et je ne suis plus surpris par un vlo qui dboule de nul part … Le casque tient bien
C’est bien simple je le mets le matin et je ne le retire que le soir .
Lger , je ne le sens plus et la batterie tient le coup la journe
Et le son dans tout a ? Pour moi a reste correct.
Il ne peut nanmoins pas rivaliser avec des intras haut de gamme c’est vident
En journe je suis 40-50% du volume, quand je cours 75% et c’est suffisant
A haut volume sur les basses a fait des chatouillis sur la machoire … on s’habitue et ce n’est pas dsagrable
Que dire d’autre ?
Effectivement , il est pas donn …
Mais si comme moi vous en avez l’utilit , alors vous ne regretterez pas votre achat !
I tried After Shokz several years ago and promptly returned due to volume not being loud enough. Happy to report this latest version works for me. Sound quality is not great, but at least now I can hear music while I’m out running. Interesting how these do allow me to carry on a conversation with others without turning music off. I’ve used them a few weeks and decided these are my new go-to headphones for running and biking.
No son molestos para llevarlos mucho tiempo.
La musica se oye perfecta y si recibes llamada telefnica, tambien son perfectos.
Ademas, te permiten pasear o hacer deporte y oir el sonido ambiente
Los mejores auriculares para realizar actividad fsica. Es cierto que no se oyen como los que invaden el canal auditivo, pero para suenan lo suficiente como para ir por la calle y or msica y todo lo que ocurre a tu alrededor.
Comes with a case, and 2 short charging cables. Very nice headphone set. Easy pairing and operation for calls. Like that the power and + volume key is raised and easy to feel. Magnetic charger works well, solid connection. I’ve had them for over a week and still have not needed to recharge. Supposedly they have a 10-hour battery life so I would say I have easily exceeded 6 but nowhere near 10. It does give you a battery level when you turn them on and mine is still saying it has 95% battery. Impressive. Yes, I got blue cause it’s cute.
I bought a pair of Aftershokz (Trekz air?)years ago and used them for one day before returning. I had to have the volume about all the way up to still struggle to hear them as well the sound quality just wasn’t there.
I ordered these in early January ’22 to try them again and have been very impressed. The sound quality and bass is much improved. It’s not audiophile quality, but you’re probably never going to get that from an open ear headphone. Again, these are open ear so you will not have any active sound isolation, however I have had instances where the volume is loud enough that you can’t hear a conversation going on in front of you.
These headphones work with ear plugs in as well, the sound quality takes a minor hit with earplugs in but you can have the safety of earplugs and still enjoy your music.
I wear these all day for work, they are very comfortable and don’t really cause fatigue. They are very light.
I would hands down buy these again, and I have recommended them to multiple people.
Il semble plus robuste , l apairage est plus efficace , et la charge bien mieux .
Pour le son , il y a aussi une rel amlioration ,comme une meilleure immersion dans la musique.
Attention pour les puristes ne vous attendez pas avoir le plus exceptionnel des sons non plus .
Mais toujours aussi idal pour les sportifs, ou bien citadins qui ne souhaitent pas tre coup du monde extrieur.
A voir dans le temps ,sur le casque prcdent ,au bout de deux ans , quelques choses c tait dessouder dans un des couteurs et se baladait dans la coquille.
Je ne comprends pas du tout les commentaires ngatifs sur ce produit.
Le son est incroyable, forcment pas au niveau d’un casque Sony nouvelle gnration puisque l’utilisation n’est pas la mme, rappelons que ce casque est fait la base pour couter de la musique tout en entendant les bruits extrieurs, il est donc normal qu’il soit moins “immersif” qu’un casque qui couvre les oreilles.
Il est vraiment trs lger compar ses prdcesseurs.
En gros superbe produit !
son unos auriculares muy cmodos y con una gran calidad de sonido teniendo en cuenta que son deportivos o de trabajo y no para una escucha de alta fidelidad. Adems permite no aislarse del entorno al no alojarse en el odo.
I resisted for some time getting this headphones. I tried multitude of earbuds in ear, over the ear…cheap and expensive and was never really liked any of them. This headphones the most comfortable and functional for me. I use them all the time for audiobooks, in my office with people talking around me and on my walks so i do not have to constantly get my phone out of my purse to answer. I do not like to carry my phone in my hands or use a pant pocket (not always wear pants with pockets). I use it on the bus. Where we live in the City, phones get stolen if if you carry them in your hands all the time. So this earphones are great.
sono un fan al punto di essere passato a questa versione dalla ottima precedente e meno costosa per scoprire che questa versione NON RICHIAMA L’ULTIMO NUMERO TELEFONICO COMPOSTO!!!
Pensavo che un up-grade fosse positivo, ma cos non !!!
Deluso e valuto se , vista la differenza di costo, renderlo e sostituirlo con la versione precedente visto che il mio l’ho girato alla moglie ed ho fatto acquistare questa versione anche a mio figlio !!
I use them for almost every phone call I make or receive and comfortably wear them for ten hours a day. The headset last for three days of relatively heavy use with my mobile phone and laptop for Teams, Zoom and VOIP calls. The headset can be paired with three devices but only two devices can be active simultaneously – this is not a terrible limitation as I can be connected to both my phone and laptop and use the same headset for both without having to change any settings anywhere or make another connection.
Occasionally the headset will power off for no apparent reason and that is disconcerting but it’s a very small annoyance.
I bought a pair of these for my partner and got the joy of giving the perfectly received gift.
Don’t get me wrong, I was super skeptical of these when purchasing, but I absolutely LOVE them for listening to my phone! They are great for listening to music, or podcasts/YouTube from my phone. My only problem is when I try to use them dual connected for Zoom/Teams meetings on my work computer, or even listening to my personal computer. When dual connected on computers they are choppy and cut out enough to be really annoying. I’m bummed because I was excited to dual pair them at work and use them for meetings, but it turns out they really only work great with my phone, or computer, but not both. Again they are fantastic single paired, and I’ll be keeping them because of this alone, but they didn’t fully live up to my expectations when it comes to dual pairing.
Hatte anfangs bedenken wegen der ton qualitt, aber die ist besser als man es von den meisten Ohr Hrern kennt. Auch der Bass fhlt sich am Anfang ein wenig seltsam an, aber ist wenn man sich dran gewhnt hat ein klasse Feature.
Halten auch lnger als 10 Stunden, setzte sie um 4 auf wenn ich das Haus verlasse und 12 Stunden spter komm ich wieder und sie gehen immernoch.
Das einzige was mich strt ist das hinter dem elektronik teil kein frei beweglicher starrer Draht integriert ist, heisst man kann den Winkel und Druck nicht an seinen Kopf anpassen was sehr unangenehm drckt manchmal (da muss man die Kopfhrer aber schon lnger als 10std. Tragen).
Und bei Telefonaten hrt sich alles an wie aus einem Kinder walkie talkie. Aber sonst top.
Grand consommateur de produits audio (bose- jabra-sony) et souffrant d’accouphnes, j’ai tent ces couteurs.
Non seulement la qualit du son est impressionnante, tant par la puissance que par le rendu des subtilits.
Le son extrieur est facilement masqu par un bon rglage du volume.
L’autonomie est importante.
On a une sensation d’absence et le son est circulaire.
Plus de risques de faire tomber les oreillettes, ni de s’irriter les conduits auditifs.
Je recommande.
J’espre que le produit tiendra sur la dure.
Have used Shokz for years and would not use anything else… Great for activities and even works well for use in the workplace. Time will tell how these new ones perform over time but so far, they’ve been solid.
These headphones have been fantastic. The ability to wear them while working and still hear questions without people needing to repeat themselves after taking out earbuds makes them so much more functional than in-ear headphones for work. Sound is great overall, and in an 8-hour day, I have yet to drop the battery below medium. A great purchase for this application.
The negatives:
1)the bass is unbalanced to the sound. If I am listening to music at 20-30%, the song has essentially no bass-by 50% the bass is too much-by 70% it is uncomfortable to wear for me.
2) These are marketed as “sport” headphones. The Openrun implies they be good for running. However, because they do not go in your ears (a positive for me overall), they allow significantly greater ambient noise into your ears making them much harder to hear music outside even at higher volumes ober the background noise. In my opinion, they are much better served indoors unless you are in a very quiet outside environment.
Le trovo ottime, quando sono preso nei miei allenamenti non le sento minimamente fastidiose, il suono molto piacevole, unica pecca, costano veramente troppo per il segmento che sono
I love my Open Run Pro headset, super comfortable, long battery life and very clear sound. Would defs recommend!!
Ich bin sehr erstaunt ber den Tragekomfort. Die Umwelt ist sehr gut wahrnehmbar, da kein Stpsel im Ohr steckt. Den Sound finge ich gut. Es gibt garantiert Kopfhrer mit besserem Sound, aber zum Sport machen sind die einfach unschlagbar. Die Bedienung ist super einfach.
Bin froh das es das gibt, so kann ich meinen Sport unabhngig jederzeit durchfhre
Funny thing, this is the second pair of these we’ve purchased!
I’ve owned headphones, big mothers that were around the ear style, and they were great, but big and bulky. I’ve had ear buds and they’re ok, but they kept falling out when you least expected them to. Then my wife saw these at Best Buy and we did a bunch of research and ended up buying the first pair at Best Buy for my wife.
She loved them and when she went to download the software after three days of ownership, she discovered they came in the pretty blue color. She loved them but she had already bought a black one. So as a surprise I bought these blue ones for her planning on returning the black ones. She was surprised and convinced me to try the first pair we bought.
So I tried them for a day and fell in love. I work in an smallish office, and it’s fairly quiet, everybody wears headphones. Playing a radio would be very rude to anyone on the hallway, as the sound would carry. This is a perfect place for these headphones.
They are, unless turned to full volume, completely silent to anyone around you. They weigh next to nothing, I often forget I have them on! I put them on in the morning and take them off and charge them when I go to bed. They only require about 25 minutes to fully charge from a totally dead state. I wear them from 7AM till Midnight or later and they still report the batteries are medium. And I have them on and running the entire day. The great part is they don’t block your ears, so you can still hear what’s going on around you.
They DON’T fall off your head no matter how much or how hard you shake your head around.
Corresponde exatamente s expectativas e at as supera. So bonitos, elegantes, leves e a qualidade do som excelente. Consegue-se manter uma ligao ao mundo exterior enquanto ouvimos a msica que queremos.
J’ai achet ces couteurs pour le sport et je ne suis pas dcue.
Je peux aller me promener dans les bois en musique en entendant les VTT ou d’autres coureurs arriver, et je peux galement prendre le train pour aller travailler sans tre coupe des bruits extrieurs, tout fait conforme mes attentes.
Prodotto affidabile, azienda seria e attenti alla necessit del cliente
I have not gone a day without wearing these since I bought them. They are extremely comfortable and sound is pretty decent. I love the fact I can listen to my music all day at work and still talk with my co workers
Whether in the shower or about 10 meters away from the smartphone; great music enjoyment. And, simply great on bike tours in combination with the COBI.Bike (route planner).
No he podido comprobar todava la duracin de la batera
Le cuffie offrono un suono chiaro ed incisivo senza condizionamenti esterni.
These are a good example of “You get what you pay for”. I have tried other similar cheaper headphones these are by far the best.
Uma vez que no cobre os ouvidos e podemos ouvir o que nos rodeia fazer chamadas, ouvir rdio ou msica sem tirar o aparelho.
Para mim serve perfeitamente, era o que eu procurava.
Como trabalho com pessoas e atendo chamadas toda hora e uma mais valia para puder atender chamadas e ao mesmo tempo ouvir o que est ao meu redor.
Alle so wie versprochen, wird noch ausgiebig getestet.

I’ve always had really bad anxiety about wearing earbuds or headphones because of not being able to hear my surroundings, but at the same time I’ve never liked wearing only 1 earbud because I feel it’s not as good of a listening experience. These headphones address all my concerns.
They allow me to hear my surroundings yet still have great audio quality. I only found out about bone conduction headphones recently and this is my first pair so I don’t have anything to compare them to but they sound as good as I could have possibly expected considering they’re not in my ears. I wasn’t expecting bose style sound quality considering my ears are open but it sounds amazing and I can hear the bass more than I expected.
I’ve always found earbuds uncomfortable and gross because I have gross waxy ears but these headphones sit comfortably over my ears and around the back of my neck and I frequently forget I’m even wearing them. I have longer hair and usually wear a beanie and nobody can tell I have them on.
Battery life is great. I wear them a lot and if I’m not at work they last me the entire day on one charge. When I’m at work they usually last me about 10 hours of straight uninterrupted music though I usually charge them on break. They charge pretty quickly as well.
I’m not much of a runner but my job is pretty active and I do a lot of hiking. These have been great for that. They haven’t fallen off at work at all and I’m able to hear and respond if anybody is trying to talk to me. When I’m hiking it allows me to hear all the sounds of nature and still listen to music.
Unless you’re a big audiophile I can’t really find any cons with these headphones. Even if you are an audiophile these things sound amazing when you consider there’s nothing in your ear and it’s all just being vibrated into your ear canal.
Amazing technology, I love it.
There, however, some downsides as well:
1. Proprietary charging cable supplied without a spare (unlike with cheaper OpenRun). Come on, there can be no excuses for that.
2. Dual pairing (e.g. with your phone and computer) is not completely straightforward: if one source is playing, and another starts playing as well, the latter would not be heard. If, however, you stop sound on the first device and unpause the second, it’ll switch. This can be a limitation of the protocol, but is not explained clearly enough in the booklet or in the app.
3. The price jump is very noticeable. More than twice as expensive than I paid for Trekz 2 years ago.
The app (which is apparently Open Run Pro exclusive) is mostly a gimmick, but has a option of firmware upgrade, and it can be very useful – IF any significant updates would indeed materialise in the future (not a given).
Overall, it is a worthy upgrade from an old model or a first buy, but if you already happen to have another cheaper model from the same generation (e.g. OpenRun) I wouldn’t bother. The difference between the two is not worth the extra 40.
Completely met my expectations but exceeded it with regards to fit. It really sits nice on your head and you will forget about it after a while. To the contrary, if I wear in-ear buds, after some hours they become annoying and irritate the inside of my ear.
Also, just not being closed off from your environment make a big change. Using it for making calls is above average (good!).
Just be aware, as to be expected, the sound quality will (never) be as good as an in-ear or on-ear high quality headset, but the pro’s offset some of that for sure.
Would recommend it as a second kit, to have and wear on suitable occasions.
la force du son pourrait tre amlior, la version prcdente des mme couteur le son tait plus fort…
J’ai command ce casque pour mes sances de Running, je suis trs satisfait de ce produit. Le son est excellent, il y a de bonnes basses, cela permet la pratique du Running en toute scurit puisque j’entends la fois les vlos et les voitures qui peuvent arriver.
I’m more than happy with the sound quality of these headphones. You won’t get the full bass, but will still get a surprising amount. Super comfortable too.
I LOVE these! Finally I can listen to music or a podcast and still have conversations and hear what’s going on around me.
They’re very comfortable. I feel safer being able to hear my surroundings as I listen to music or podcasts. I was surprised by the quality of sound. I highly recommend
AirPods Max – make my ears too hot and causes condensation in earcups (something that is documented on the web). I wore these only for work and sometimes slept with then on.. They failed me after 9 months. Apple Uk said they failed due to water damage and showed me a picture of the blue copper stains own the headphone band tips. They invalidated my warranty.. Issue – don’t sleep with these on, causes water damage to the internals and everything stops working
AirPods pro – nice sound, convenient to keep in your pocket. Issue – keep falling out my ears at the most inconvenient times.. e.g running on a treadmill, gardening, cutting the grass, gym work etc..
Powerbeats Pro – my gym/activity headphones.. Great sound. Issue – bulky case to carry around. Bit too uncomfortable to wear over long periods.
Beats Fit Pro – Brilliant in everything apart from the ear hook – can get uncomfortable and causes pain. Also fall out during the most inconvenient time.. E.g running, ears get sweaty and they fall out. Nearly lost one under the treadmill once.
Then I purchased the Shokz OpenRun Pro after trying on the Shokz OpenRun at my local Costco. They are comfortable, hardly know I have them on. Can even sleep all night with them on whilst listening to the radio. Tried them at the gym, running/cycling/weights – no problem whatsoever. Don’t get sweaty ears, no ear wax problems either lol !!! I have even worm them out whilst shopping.. Love that I can hear my music but also have awareness of my surroundings.. Love that I can jump into my car and the audio seamlessly switched from my headphones to the car bluetooth so don’t have to take them off.
Issues so far — the Shokz OpenRun Pro headphones app and switching with other devices such as iPhone and MacBook.. Not as seamless as the Apple H1 chip.. Have to manually disconnect bluetooth on these device and then re-enable to get to connect. The Shokz iOS app is a bit of a pain but then again so is the Bose iOS app if you know what I mean..
Anyway I am sure that these will not be my last headphone purchase but in the meantime they are my go tos for now.
I never tried bone conducting headphones before, I have only seen only 1 other person wearing them at the gym. My advise is to go try a pair… Wonder when the next iteration will be band free and whether they can be more like the Powerbeats Pro.. i.e don’t fall out because of the over ear design but 2 separate units.
Ti dimentichi di averle, posso indossare il casco senza problemi!
Articolo eccezionale, sono le prime cuffie che non mi cadono quando corro, no mi isolano dal mondo circostante e il suono molto nitido. Inoltre se ricevo una telefonata sento perfettamente e anche l’interlocutore non ha problemi ha sentirmi.
Review written as someone who uses them for trail running.
GOOD
– Fit is excellent (I have a biggish head) and they do not bounce, move or pinch my head. I quite literally forget I’m wearing them.
– You can hear the world around you. which is awesome. Of course this only applies at lower volumes, as playing anything loud will drown out the ambient sound even if your ears are not covered.
– Waterproof (rain) feature is important as I often run in very wet conditions and have worn these in moderate downpours without issues.
– sound is just good for spoken audio (See below)
– Battery life is excellent at the time of writing
– Easy to connect
NOT SO GOOD
SOUND:
– These are my first Shokz and if these are an upgrade in sound over the previous model, I would not want to know what those sounded like. The sound on these are good for spoken audio (audiobooks, language courses etc), but for music they sound very ‘tinny’. I understand that this is what you get with bone conduction, but I would not praise the bass at all. For reference an album like ‘BANKS – III’ really makes these struggle and bass sound like unnatural electric distortion (similar to a torn speaker). Definition is also quite lousy and when listening to Metal it sounds just like it would being played on 5 EUR in ear headphones. Again – I’m ok with this for what these are, but given the price I would have expected A LOT more.
PRICE
– Having used these now for a while I would not value them more than 90 to 110 EUR (which would be pushing it). Essentially you are paying for comfort and open ear design and definitely not the sound.
BUTTONS
– If you run in cold weather, wear gloves, or struggle with small buttons then the button on the left ear is useless. If my hands are cold it is impossible for me to press the rapid sequences required to skip or rewind. If wearing gloves its impossible to feel where to press and you are just blindly pushing at your hear in what you think is the right frequency of presses.
— Conclusion–
In terms of fit and open ear design these are great for running, but do not expect great sounding music. I would recommend waiting for sales as they are defintily not worth the asking price of 190 EUR.
So, dann schreibe ich mal eine Produktbewertung. Vllig verrckt, denn das habe ich seit 2017 nicht mehr gemacht. Bedeutet folglich, dass dies hier eine ganz besondere Aktion fr mich ist. Und der Antrieb fr diesen Zeitvertreib heit: Begeisterung!
Ich kann nicht sagen, wie lange ich die Kopfhrer benutzt habe. Ich kann aber genau sagen, dass ich sie in den letzten 4 Wochen genau 148,5 Kilometer lang getragen habe. Beim Joggen.
Ich habe nie den richtigen Kopfhrer fr meine Lufe gefunden. In- Ear: Geht so, toller Sound aus dem Hause Apple mit NC, aber im Winter kaltes Plastik am Ohr und im Sommer ne Schweiftze vor dem Trommelfell. Die normalen Stpsel fhlten sich da schon besser an, wollten aber nicht immer am Ort bleiben. Dann noch der Over- Ear- Versuch. Da hatte ich einfach zu viel auf dem Kopf und irgendwie sieht es auch mittelschwer doof aus.
Den Shokz hatte ich schon einige Zeit auf dem Schirm, aber ich konnte mir wirklich nicht vorstellen, dass diese Technik mich begeistern kann. Und das es klappt. Das Prinzip kennt man ja vom Ohrenarzt, wenn dieser seine komische Stimmkabel an den Schdelknochen hlt. Und auf diesem Weg soll man vernnftig Musik hren knnen? Never! Und dann stand ich eines Tages in einem Laden fr elektronische Mnnerspielzeuge. Da lagen zwei dieser Gerte aus. Fr alle und jedermann zugnglich. Und ich stand davor. Kopfhrer probieren, whrend der Pandemie. Die Dinger hatten bestimmt hunderte Menschen auf. Ok, Ekel vs Neugier. Ich habe danach meinen Kopf unter den Desinfektionsmittelspender gehalten UND, noch vor dem Laden stehend, das Pro Model hier bestellt.
ber den Sound muss man nicht reden. Darf man auch nicht, denn hier gibt es keine Referenz. Vergleiche zu anderen Kopfhrern knnen einfach nicht gezogen werden.
Aber er ist gut. Wirklich gut. Ich hre beim Rennen gitarrenlastige Musik und dann und wann mal ein wenig HipHop.
Es fhlt sich perfekt an. Der Sitz ist klasse. Der Sound ist bei mir; irgendwie um einen herum. Nicht erdrckend und abschlieend, so dass man auch die wichtigen Dinge mitbekommt. Ich trage beim Laufen immer eine Cap plus Brille. Der Bgel strt mich dabei berhaupt nicht. Ich las Bewertungen, in denen der Kopfhrer fr Kappentrger nicht empfohlen wird. Verstehe ich nicht! Wollmtze, das stelle ich mir schwierig vor.
Der Shokz gehrt mittlerweile zu meinem besten und wichtigstem Laufzubehr.
If you are looking for a comfortable open ear headset, then this is the right tool for the job. It is light, fits comfortably, and doesn’t move around when jogging. The sound quality was better than what I was expecting to be honest, but you can not, and should not, compare this to in-ear or over-ear headsets. No head rocking bass, but all podcast are crystal clear, phone calls are perfectly understandable, and most music sounds great. I traded the better sound quality for safety and awareness, which is the point of this device.
…Ottimo per correre. Non si muove. L’intensita e buona ma se in rumoroso abiente non tanto forte!
Qualit sonore est plus que prvu, c’est la meilleure qualit sonore parmi les casques conduction osseuse, en particulier les basses. Trs clair quand on rpond au tlphone.
Ltop-notche de batterie est top. Aprs avoir t compltement charg le dimanche, je l’ai port tous les jours et il tait encore 40 % jusqu’ jeudi soir. Il suffit de charger une fois par semaine. La charge rapide est aussi trs pratique.
L’tanchit IP55, c’est pas le top, mais a suffit.
Le ,casque est confortable porter, lger, stable et ne bouge pas. Il s’adapte bien aux lunettes et se fait oublier. Lorsque vous courez, faites de l’exercice, faites du vlo, vous pouvez entendre les environnements en coutant de la musique.
De plus, un bandeau de sport fourni est pratique.
Conclusion : un produit parfait, je recommande.
It is an amazing product – I do not have to take it off when I want to talk with somebody just simply pause and I am safer on the street with cars as I hear them too.
Trage die Kopfhrer bei der Arbeit (in Ear Kopfhrer wren gar nicht mglich/nicht erlaubt, diese hier sind de Facto eine Grauzone die ich konsequent ausnutze) und beim Radfahren. Man ist schnell erreichbar wenn jemand anruft kann Musik & Podcasts hren und nur ein kurzer Tap und man kann komplett frei reden.
Hatte zuvor die Einstiegsvariante Open Move, da nun ein neues Modell auf den Markt kam der perfekte Moment zum Upgraden nachdem ich diese schon hunderte Stunden im Gebrauch hatte. Buchstblich eine Lebensverndernde Technologie fr mich (allein die Stunden an wissenswerten Podcasts jede Woche).
If having a case is important to you then it’s worthwhile to spend a little more money on the Openrun Pro model rather than the Openrun.
Apart from getting the absolute latest in bone conduction technology your extra A$40 (at the time of writing) also gets you a hard case to store your headphones which in my eyes is very good value for money.
Now for the device itself, I can’t fault them. The sound quality is impressive given the open design. They are very lightweight and sit tight as a glove on my ears. These will be replacing the jaybird bluebuds I was using as fitness headphones previously and I couldn’t be happier with the shockz. Definitely a premium device that is a clear leader in the fitness audio category.
Chiaramente la qualit dei bassi non si pu pretendere rispetto alle cuffie classiche e comunque si ascolta bene senza particolari pretese .L’archetto pu essere migliorato si sporge troppo indietro ed ancora un p troppo rigido ,quando si usa in palestra in particolare quando si fanno esercizi sulla panca l’archetto da fastidio invece nella corsa oppure quando ci si trova in piedi va bene .si pu migliorare ,pur possedendo cuffie di qualit queste sono molto comode in quanto permettono di sentire anche i rumori esterni non male quando ci si trova all’esterno ..
J’avais un modle de cette mme marque mais moins cher,dont le son il faut l’avouer ne valait pas un casque normal mme de mauvaise qualit. Vu que je suis oblig de prendre un casque a conduction osseuse dans le cadre de mon travail,je me suis rsign a en prendre un nouveau suite a une casse.
Quelle surprise ! C’est le jour et la nuit ! Je trouve le son juste exceptionnel pour cette technologie. J’ai l’impression d’avoir de bonne enceinte en face de moi! Il vaut vraiment le prix qu’il cote
Great headphones and you can hear whats going on around you.
Great for running and permitted in races. Spot on.
Was a bit curious at first but i decided to buy them.i was amazed at how good they sound and you can hear everything around you especially outside,the traffic,kids playing birds singing etc etc.really impressed and glad i bought them.
Ich habe schon so viele in ear Kopfhrer ausprobiert, aber nie war ich wirklich restlos zufrieden. Das heit die Kopfhrer waren gut, aber beim joggen passte es einfach nicht. Entweder fielen sie raus oder drckten Die Shokz sitzen perfekt, und klingen total gut. Drcken nicht, stren nicht; man hat berhaupt nicht das Gefhl Ohrhrer zu tragen”. Ich bin wirklich begeistert.
C’est un trs bon produit qui permet d’couter en entendant ce qui se passe autour. La qualit de son a t amliore bien qu’elle n’gale pas encore la qualit d’couteurs intra auriculaires. Autre bmol, il subsiste une vibration sur la peau lorsque le volume est lev qui chatouille.
I switched over from a few in-ear earbuds and have been using it to listen to podcasts, attend zoom meetings, and watch films for around a month.
As a headset, the quality is great.
The sound quality is crisp clear.
It provides the best fit of all the headphones I have tried, whether it be over-the-ear, in-the-ear, or in-the-ear with hooks. I do not have to worry about it falling off at any time.
It also has the most reliable bluetooth connection. Several times, I paused my podcasts, forgot to unpause it for an hour or two, and was delighted it kept the connection. Most other headphones would have randomly dropped half of those connections. It also keeps the connection when there is one floor between me and my laptop.
Lastly, I am impressed by its battery life and how much battery it has saved while muted. I paused it but forgot to turn it off last night. When I woke up some 9 hours later, it was still turned on, and the battery level was still high.
As for what I dislike about it, it is charged using what I believe to be a custom design cord. A typical USB-A or USB-C cord does not fit.
For those who are unfamiliar with bone conduction headphones, here are a few things I noticed:
First, it took around 30 minutes to get used to, since it felt like someone was speaking to me telepathically.
Second, as you might expect, it does not block out or distort environmental sounds. This is both a blessing and a curse. I never have to remove my headphones when I am out shopping or with friends. However, it works badly in noisy environments.
Lastly, the open ear design provides a lot of unexpected benefits. I never again need to remove my headphones to vent my ear canals or to prevent amplifying sound of me food being chewed inside my mouth. This allows me to put the headphone on very fast after a shower (when there is moisture in my ear canals), keep it on for hours, and listen to music while I eat.
Overall, this headphone provides crisp clear sounds, sturdy fit, good battery life, and an open ear design that does not get in the way of conversations. I generally keep it on for the entire day. It is well worth the high price tag.
Super teil. glasklarer klang. wirklich zu empfehlen. der preis ist zwar hoch, aber der kopfhrer ist jeden cent wert.
Me encanta su calidad de sonido, su facilidad de uso, el sonido al contestar llamadas, tiene una aplicacion muy practica para configurar hasta 2 dispositivos simultaneamente, ecualizador para llamadas y musica, idioma de uso, actualizar firmware, registrar el producto, tiene una calidad de materiales muy buena, acorde a su precio 189 euros las novedades se pagan.
I bought these just for trail running and started using them for daily video calls. My other headsets caused ear fatigue but I can use these all day long.
Things they great at:
Running
Comfort
Voice calls
Don’t buy them for noise cancelling or busy environments
The best headphones I ever had. I can wear them comfortably and have conversations with people without any distractions. Long lasting battery.
Just love, as a mum, I can’t wear the ear, I have to notice every noise at home. This product just resolve de problem. I can still hear everything at home, and enjoy my music at the same time!
I find them comfortable sound great and work well. They are not good in a noisy environment.
I usually bullet point the good and bad when I review more traditional buds and cans but these are so nuanced, I just think I need to lay out my thoughts. First, I can spare some of you a somewhat lengthy read. If you aren’t running or, at the very least, working out outside where you need to hear things going on around you, these aren’t for you. The compromises you have to make in sound quality versus a more traditional bud or set of headphones just aren’t worth it. Try as they might, Shokz still hasn’t put bone conduction tech on the same level. That said, from an audio perspective, the Openrun Pro’s surprised me. There is crisp audio and some actual low end. Music sounds good and on multiple genres. I fired up Beastie Boys, Jay Z, Flaw, Interpol, Slipknot, AC/DC, and a number of others and all of it sounded decent. Decent. All while leaving your ears open to the environment around you. Again, even most entry level no name ear buds are going to be more fulfilling for music but this will work for me. Podcasts sound even better. There is an EQ toggle in the Shokz app (ignore the bad reviews there is an update that fixes Android 12 issues) that allows you to enhance vocals and it works. Pods and video are great here. When I run outside, I can completely accept “decent” sound in exchange for the safety of be able to hear my surroundings.
In terms of hardware, these are extremely comfortable on and most importantly, when running, they stay put. I mean don’t move at all. Controls are easy with a volume rocker on the right and a single multi-action button on the left. You get a waterproof rating of IP55 which is just barely enough for me but it will work with the way I sweat and should be enough for occasional rain. Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity is here so you get great stable range and easy pairing. You get 10 plus hours of battery life on a single charge. Charging is done via a proprietary magnetic charger which I don’t normally like but this one is good. Oh, and call quality, while not game changing, is more than adequate. It is all really well done. Cheers to the Shokz design team here.
In terms of competition or other considerations, the Tarah Pro’s for Jaybird immediately came to mind. The Jaybirds are another one that I pretty much only recommend for runners. Those sound much better as they are in ear buds, offer an IPX7 rating so they are much more water tight, and have a similar form factor and intangibles. However, while the Tarah Pro’s aren’t noise cancelling, they do significantly reduce your ability to hear what is going on around you. I always tell myself, I will keep the volume down, then some killer workout jam hits and I am back to full volume and deaf to the world around me. If you do that with the Openrun Pro’s, the only thing that happens is you end up with a little bass tickle in your ears. You can still hear the cars, bikes, and buses all around you. Call it forced self preservation.
For me, what Shokz has done here deserves a lot of credit. If you run outdoors around things that can hurt you, these absolutely 100% warrant your consideration. I would actually go further and say that you should buy them. They aren’t cheap but Shokz includes a 2 year warranty here which most of us runners will surely test. Those that don’t need something for outside, don’t bother here. You will be disappointed. Runners rejoice, a product that was clearly designed for us is here. Embrace it! Recommend!
The collar encircling the head in the back had a large circumference, making a less than ideal fit over the ears;
The charging port was right adjacent to the low volume/high volume buttons;
The multifunction button was flush with the surface of the headset, making it difficult for my finger to find it;
The audio overall was very good but base tones were poorly heard.
I am pleased to say that these headphones are a significant improvement, and they are worth the extra money.
The posterior collar is smaller, enabling a better fit;
The charging port has been moved away from the volume/power buttons;
The multi-function button has now been raised so it is easily palpable;
The audio quality is more crisp:
Base reproduction is better, although will need ongoing improvement;
There is now an app, which might update firmware, such as in improvement in base quality;
Last but not least, rather than struggle putting the headset into a silicone pouch, there is a hard plastic case with a groove for the headset to lie in.
You also get a cool looking thin headband.
So: get these and enjoy!
These are now good enough to be an alternative to in-ear headphones and allow “situational awareness.
P.S. I enjoy these most when listening at half to three-quarters volume. With the bone technology, raising to full volume distorts the sound.
