I can't speak highly enough of shockz openrun pro (couldn't say about their other ones, I've only had the openrun pros). The open ear bone conduction design is incredible for use during exercise, everyday life, and, especially, work. It's changed the way I work in helping me drown out unnecessary background noise while still being able to interact with and clearly hear people around me. I've never gotten actually -excited- about headphones before, and rarely listened to music because the feel or weight of most of them bothered me so much, but these completely changed that for me. I've enjoyed so much new music in the past year and it's all thanks to these cool little things.

I have adhd and mild autism and struggle with overstimulation from noises I can't control, or sometimes even lack of noise, and I work in a customer facing industry, the combination of which has been incredibly overwhelming for me at times. These have allowed me to block out the anxiety of outside noises by playing low volume lofi beats or ambient noise while working while still being able to hear clearly enough to interact with and monitor people constantly for 10+hour shifts, and I work better than I ever have with them.

They're comfortable and lightweight. I did have an issue with my first pair on the power/volume button slipping out of place, but am filing a warranty claim for that and hoping to get refunded or replaced. The sound quality is clear, the Bluetooth reaches far, and the mic is surprisingly good, I hate using anything else for phone calls now. I do prefer the minis- I'm a small-ish woman (5'4") and I found the original size was a little big for my head and fit awkwardly around my hair.

Controls are simple and actual buttons, not touch, which I prefer, and clarity is pretty good. They'll never be as good sound quality as over the ear headphones or in-ear buds, but they're the only open ear headphones I've tried even remotely worth using. I do wish there was a way to skip songs from the headphones, but ce la vi. Other people really can't hear the music playing on them unless you have the volume very high. The sound quality does go down a bit at higher volumes, but that kind of was expected for headphones that work on vibrations, for me at least, and adjusting the positioning of them on yoir ears/head can help fix that also.

Overall, 10/10 would recommend. These things are amazing and will change your life for the better. Worth the buy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Obsessed!

I needed these! In-the-ear earbuds traumatized me by giving me a boil in my ear! It was from the newest air pros. I loved that they were noise cancelling but these…. these are so amazing! I can still hear everything in my surroundings. The fit perfectly. I wear them every single day. And this nude color matches everything I wear and blends in with my skin. Most people don’t even notice I’m wearing it. It’s so much easier to talk on the phone with too. The one button that does everything doesn’t have you going back a forth from the phone either. Obsessed and probably the best thing I have bought myself in a long time.

Honestly I wasn't ready to buy a new set of headphones but my puppy, Sir Robin, had other plans. I have used my Aftershokz in Xtrainerz - Sapphire Blue almost daily since I ordered them in 2021. I also have the swimming headphones which I use for that purpose. But those headphones were my GOTO for everything.

I just bought the new Shokz (I still think the rebranded name is silly btw) OpenRun Pro and man - it's the same headphones except they sound better and are lighter.

There is something to be said for using a product daily until it breaks outside of the control of the product and immediately ordering the replacement.

I'm sitting here after ordering the replacement last night and having it delivered the next morning just after 4am - and I'm amazed by how fast that happened. This is the future I want to live in and this is THE PRODUCT that brings a soundtrack to my life.

I can't say enough good things about these. I tell all my friends about them. This is the best headphone you can buy for almost all purposes.

I even prefer them, with ear plugs in, over any traditional noise cancelling headphones.

I used to work in the Product and Technical Support department at Bose (until they outsourced from Massachusetts to the Philippines) and these are my GOTO for everything.

If you are on the fence - buy them. It's one of the little pleasures in life you should invest in.
