SHOKZ OpenRun with USB-C Charging - Open-Ear Bluetooth Bone Conduction Sport Headphones - Sweat Resistant Wireless Earphones for Workouts and Running - Built-in Mic, with Hair Band - Standard - BlackCarbonfree Certified

My husband got a pair of these for Christmas and I tried them and loved them. My iPods were uncomfortable for me over long periods of time so I was looking for something new for workouts. These are perfect. They don’t move on your head and are sweat-proof. The Bluetooth setup was easy and the headphones are great for listening to loud music or quiet music. They are noise canceling but for me I could still hear a little so not 100%. They are durable and the sound is clear. They don’t hurt to wear as they fit over your ear. I forgot they were in sometimes and went to bed with them on occasionally. Definitely worth the money.

Quick summary:- Comfortable to wear all day.- Feasible to wear all day in all situations since it does not block your hearing and is waterproofed.- Has no problem staying in position in nearly all situations.- Battery lasts all day (I regularly end the day around ~80% battery left).- Bluetooth multipoint is supported. Check the Shokz website for a video showing how to enable it. You must hold the on and multifunction button at the same time to enable multipoint.- Use their sizing guide video to find the correct size before purchase. I bought the normal size, then had to buy the mini instead. If you need the mini but buy the normal size then it will push on the back of your ears uncomfortably.- Standard USB-C charging means one fewer charger. I usually charge it in the morning while starting my day.- Quick charging.- Multifunction button is a physical button, so it's hard to activate it by accident.- Sound is reasonable for listening to music and making calls. Microphone is reasonable. Look into how bone conduction sounds to get an idea of what to expect. I'm comfortable using these for music, games, and calls unless I'm wanting exquisite audio quality.My story:I purchased these because the idea of having a pair of headphones I could wear all day was appealing to me. I am the kind of person that prefers to never play videos etc. out loud, which usually results in me never seeing any content with sound. Wearing other earbuds or headphones all day isn't feasible because other headphones block out surrounding sounds and fall out/off easily. Unfortunately, I'm also the kind of person who is significantly motivated by music. What a bad combination! With these I'm able to put them on in the morning and only take them off at night. Bluetooth multipoint is a nice bonus, as it allows me to seamlessly switch between my phone and my computer.Generally, these sound as if a speaker in the room is playing whatever you're listening to. Just like a real speaker in the room, you can turn it up to drown out surrounding sound or turn it down so surrounding sound takes over. I can comfortably play music during a conversation and still hear the conversation. I can also comfortably play music while shopping or while driving and still be able to hear my surroundings i.e. it's no different from a speaker in the store or car playing music.I have used these for personal and work calls and they function well for that purpose. I have had no complaints about mic quality. With long hair, people often don't realize I'm even wearing these unless my hair is up. I'm able to wear these fine with both glasses and a mask. These usually comfortably rest slightly above the ear outside of my glasses. This position reduces the strain on my ears.All in all, if you need an all-day wear pair of headphones for general listening and calls, these are an excellent choice.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I was gifted a set of Aeropex by AfterShokz bone-conducting Bluetooth headphones (basically the granddad version of this set) over 4 years ago. While that set still works very well in every way, and is very comfortable and often forgettably light on my head, it has always been larger on me than ideal because I have a smaller sized head than most guys. I got these during Prime Days 2025 for the smaller size. What I noticed first after the improved fit, was the definite improvement in the operation of the Volume/Power button; on the old set, it is almost impossible to tell if you are pressing it correctly unless/until it finally turns on or off because there is no audible or tactile "click" to signal it. These have that "click" and it completely avoids the frustration that the old set evoked. That's a big difference to me. I haven't noticed much else about these that's different from the earlier gen set. The sound quality seems the same, maybe better, actually... less reverb. I'm hoping the battery in these is as good as the earlier gen, because those things still last me for days of city bus rides.Overall, I highly recommend these headphones to anyone looking for great sound while remaining aware of your surroundings, anyone who has a hard time hearing callers' voices on the phone, or filtering out background noise during calls. These are superb for both (especially when paired with a certain "engaging" loop-type earplugs).I will come back eventually to add relevant information regarding durability and battery life.

Value for money:I ordered these over 3 years ago and I haven't looked back! They are the absolute best headphones i have ever had! I wanted something that I could listen to music but still be able to hear my boss if need be and these things way outdid themselves! I still have and use this pair of headphones daily and they still work just as great today as they did the day I got them. I have actually gotten several members of my family into them too since they have similar situations where they may be needed but still want to listen to music or books. Pairing is super easy and battery life is phenomenal, 12+hrs of continual usage and recharge time is maybe an hour or two. Sound is clear and even phone calls are crystal clear!!!!Why did you pick this product vs others?:I chose these because they are not in the ear headphones.

I've had these for about two months now, and I like them, but there are a few problems.Pros: They are very lightweight; They charge quickly; They sound okay and have a good microphone. Also, they are sturdy.Cons: The Bluetooth connections drop frequently. Cars passing and a strong breeze will cause the headphones to drop every second or third word. Annoying when listening to an audiobook. And the battery life is not near what they claim. The one day I used them for a longer trip (more than the usual two hours) they gave up after four and that was with a full charge.I did get them on sale, so I guess that they are a good value, and I did not buy them thinking that I would get superior sound from them. I guess I was hoping that they would be better.
