Originally got these because I'm highly allergic to wasps and need to listen for them while hiking. Now I wear them all the time.

They are fantastic for walking in nature and town, to be mindful of surroundings. Just a little harder to hear on a bus or airplane.

Battery life is excellent and build quality is fantastic. I had one issue and Shokz sorted it out very smoothly.

Overall, super happy with the OpenRun headset!

I've been running for a couple years now and always used a pair of in ear buds. I started to get very frustrated with constantly having to adjust them mid run as they came loose and also hated how they always seemed to get water in my ear when it was raining.

I switched to a pair of Openrun Shokz recently after hearing a tonne of good reviews about them and I am in love. They are comfy, never come loose during my runs and have as good of a sound quality as my previous pair of earbuds. I also love that I can still hear everything around me while on a run now, which makes running along busy streets much safer.

Highly recommend these for anyone who is looking for their next pair of running headphones.

I was tired of all the other Bluetooth earphones that kept falling off during activity. The noise cancelling headsets were to bulky. I was sceptical about this ‘bone conduction’ type headphones at first but my Shockz Open Run was just amazing from day1. It fits nicely over the years. The conducts between the unit is great. The sound was like wearing earphones or even better. I could still be mindful of traffic sounds when running. So lightweight you don’t even feel it. No pressure on the ear where it sits. Ease of charging and the buttons are so easy to learn to navigate as in connecting to Bluetooth or adjusting volume etc .Just love it.

I've tried a range of different wireless earbuds before I got these. They all had problems.
Most kept falling out of my ears, which is not great if you're on a bike or running through a forest with leaf litter all over the ground.
Others seemed prone to losing the communication between the two buds, so that one stopped while the other kept working.
Getting Shokz solved both these problems. They can't fall off because of the way they go over your ears. And they can't lose communication because they are wired together!
Plus, because they use bone conduction, they leave your ears free to hear important sounds of traffic or other hazards, to stay safe.
The bone conduction is a bit quieter that in-ear buds. But it has a big, easy play-pause button, so I just use that to pause whenever I'm in noisy traffic or passing someone with a leaf blower. And I put the volume on max because unlike for in-ear buds, that doesn't risk damaging my hearing.
After-sales service was brilliant. I had a pair that stopped working after a particularly hot, humid summer when they were getting daily soaked for hours by salty sweat. Understandable. But when I contacted Shokz, they just asked a few questions to check I hadn't done anything unreasonable with them, and then sent me a new pair - even though the original warranty had expired!

I like the way you can still have music and be able to hear what’s going on around you.
