There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The product is a comfortable fit, wrapping around the back of the head. Sometimes you may forget it's even there. It is not meant for music quality really. You won't get high quality audio out of it. Mostly meant for voice communication.
Wind noise is horrible from what I've been told from those on the other end of a phone call but the audio quality of the mic is good.
They can be used as a microphone when recording a video on your device.
One thing: the magnetic charging cable is 1000% proprietary. Maybe get a 2nd cable as a backup. The charging cable is extremely short: 2 feet.
My audio critique comes from decades of studio recording/producing and use of professional-quality equipment.
I got the Open Run Pro headphones and they are so comfortable, I can wear them all day and sometimes I forget I'm wearing them because they are so light and these do not rub up against my ear causing discomfort.
Also, the sound quality improved. It's a little more bassier and louder. I love that the portion that rests against your cheek bone doesn't have any openings. The Titaniums had the speaker resting against your cheek bone so that the speaker holes would collect sweat and dirt which is hard to clean and just looks nasty. Not with with Open Run Pros.
I bought one for myself, my wife and my son and we all love them. Sweating is no problem. You can just wipe and go. Battery life lasts me close to 12 hours of use which is fantastic.
The only negative is during windy days, noise cancelling doesn't work very well and the other person on a call can't hear me well through the wind noise.
I love the benefits of bone conducting of hearing ambient sounds without blowing out my eardrums.

My Holy Grail of running headphones would allow me to listen to music while being able to monitor my environment for potential dangers. I've tried several solutions: Bose sunglasses, Bose Sportsfree, Apple AirPods Pro, and Sony LinkBuds Open Ring. (I've reviewed most of these here on Amazon.) All worked well, but each of these units is very susceptible to wind noise, and here on PEI, it is always windy. So, I tended not to hear what I was listening to, and the wind noise drowned out my environment.
The Shokz OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction Headphones are not as affected by wind as the other open headphones, making them much more useable for me. And because the Shokz OpenRun Pro doesn't sit in your ear canal, you don't get that nasty sweat build-up in your ear canals.
From what I had read on bone conduction headphones, I was expecting little acoustically, but the sound was enjoyable. This is not high-fidelity, but I never understood why anyone would want hi-fi sound while pounding the pavement and dodging cars. By their nature, bone-conduction phones do not transmit much bass, but you can hear Bass notes.
These phones do not cut out any outside noise. It is uncanny. You can converse, hear everything around you, and hear the music. It is like the sound is directly piped into your brain, or you grew a second set of ears.
I have a pumpkin head. I wear a size eight hat (when I can find one), and I was concerned that the Shokz OpenRun Pro would not fit my head. They fit and are so comfortable you forget you have them on, with one exception. I wear a tight windproof hat all winter, and the cable interfered with the hat's fit and pressed the speakers into my head. My wife, who has a typical head size, did not have this issue. They do not interfere with a ball or bucket cap. The Open Runs come in two sizes, so if you have a smaller head, the Min version might work better for you.
The Shokz OpenRun Pro linked to my Mighty player and iPhone seamlessly. They are IP55 waterproof rated (I didn't test that- there's a limit to what I'll do for the team!) Battery life is ranked at eight hours, with fast charge capabilities. I've worn them for a four-hour run with no battery issues.
Some races that ban headphones will allow bone-conduction headphones. But don't be a silly-billy, and wear headphones at a race. Enjoy the crowd vibe that you are probably paying dearly for.
My only quibble is the charging cord is the proprietary cable standard to all Shokz. It's a USB A-based cable. I prefer a USB C to C cable, which means one more cable to lug around and look after. Replacement chargers are available on Amazon.
The Shokz OpenRun Pro allows runners and cyclists to listen to music while enjoying their sports safely. I will never use in-ear phones while exercising again.

All worked well, but each of these units is very susceptible to wind noise, and here on PEI, it is always windy. So, I tended not to hear what I was listening to, and the wind noise drowned out my environment.
The Shokz OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction Headphones are not as affected by wind as the other open headphones, making them much more useable for me. And because the Shokz OpenRun Pro doesn't sit in your ear canal, you don't get that nasty sweat build-up in your ear canals.
From what I had read on bone conduction headphones, I was expecting little acoustically, but the sound was enjoyable. This is not high-fidelity, but I never understood why anyone would want hi-fi sound while pounding the pavement and dodging cars. By their nature, bone-conduction phones do not transmit much bass, but you can hear Bass notes.
These phones do not cut out any outside noise. It is uncanny. You can converse, hear everything around you, and hear the music. It is like the sound is directly piped into your brain, or you grew a second set of ears.
I have a pumpkin head. I wear a size eight hat (when I can find one), and I was concerned that the Shokz OpenRun Pro would not fit my head. They fit and are so comfortable you forget you have them on, with one exception. I wear a tight windproof hat all winter, and the cable interfered with the hat's fit and pressed the speakers into my head. My wife, who has a typical head size, did not have this issue. They do not interfere with a ball or bucket cap. The Open Runs come in two sizes, so if you have a smaller head, the Min version might work better for you.
The Shokz OpenRun Pro linked to my Mighty player and iPhone seamlessly. They are IP55 waterproof rated (I didn't test that- there's a limit to what I'll do for the team!) Battery life is ranked at eight hours, with fast charge capabilities. I've worn them for a four-hour run with no battery issues.
Some races that ban headphones will allow bone-conduction headphones. But don't be a silly-billy, and wear headphones at a race. Enjoy the crowd vibe that you are probably paying dearly for.
My only quibble is the charging cord is the proprietary cable standard to all Shokz. It's a USB A-based cable. I prefer a USB C to C cable, which means one more cable to lug around and look after. Replacement chargers are available on Amazon.
The Shokz OpenRun Pro allows runners and cyclists to listen to music while enjoying their sports safely. I will never use in-ear phones while exercising again.
