SHOKZ OpenRun Pro – Open-Ear Bluetooth Bone Conduction Sport Headphones, Sweat Resistant Wireless Earphones for Workouts and Running with Premium Deep Base – Built-in Mic, with Hair Band, Black

They sound good and stay on
Are they as good as earbuds… that depends. Overall, the sound is very good… not as good as in-the-ear buds, but at lower volumes and around the house, for most types of music they are great… a little muffled at times, but very good. Mowing the lawn… also pretty good. Balancing sound coming in from the environment vs the music takes a little doing and you end up blocking out a lot of the environment, but not as much as with traditional buds. Speech isn’t quite as good but it can be enhanced a tiny bit with an app setting. It’s good enough for phone calls and podcasts. The big difference is that these things stay PUT no matter what you’re doing – they don’t slip out, they aren’t affected by sweat, jarring… nothing and that is why I bought them. I got so sick of constantly trying to cram buds back in my sweaty ears as they slowly (or quickly) slide out. These things just stay on. BTW, the sizing is dead on – super glad I went for the smaller size, because the loop behind my head doesn’t get hit or pushed around. They are also comfortable – I’ve worn them for hours at a time – and the battery life is better than my Samsung buds. At higher volumes, they vibrate your skin in a tickly/buzzy way, but given what they are, that’s expected. I haven’t felt the need to turn them up THAT high anyway as the volume is sufficient for things like mowing the lawn and vacuuming where I’m intentionally trying to drown out the machine. Zero regret purchase. Oh, and I saw some complaints on the charging system in other reviews, but I LIKE their proprietary, magnetic system. I just super don’t care if I have to carry another cord… I’m already carrying, like, three of them anyway for my watch, phone, and whatever, so what’s one more?

These headphones changed my life
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.

Great product! Awesome sound quality. Comfortable. Easy to use. Highly recommend.
