SHOKZ OpenRun Bone Conduction Bluetooth Headphones, Blue, USB-C Charging

These headphones have exceeded my expectations. They’re incredibly lightweight and comfortable, and the open-ear design allows me to enjoy my music while still being aware of everything going on around me. Whether I’m exercising, working outside, or just running errands, they stay securely in place and never feel uncomfortable. The sound quality is surprisingly impressive, and the battery life lasts a long time between charges. I also love that they’re sweat-resistant and durable enough to handle everyday use. The USB-C charging is a huge plus and makes charging quick and convenient. If you’re looking for headphones that are comfortable, reliable, and perfect for staying active without blocking out the world around you, these are absolutely worth the investment. I would definitely buy them again! 🎧

I purchased the original unit when it first came out many years ago (called AfterShokz) and have been using it successfully all of this time. Recently, the rubber broke on it while travelling. I was unsure how well the new model would compare, but I was pleasantly surprised. There have been some improvements - it is lighter in weight, easier to pair with a device, and the voice that comes on when activating is much quieter. It also comes with a headband, that wasn't part of the original packaging. Functionally, it works as perfect as the original in sound, changing volume, taking calls while listening, and the fit around the head. Because it doesn't have ear plugs, there is no discomfort or sweating inside the ears. Moreover, you can listen to music or podcasts, but still hear everything around you, which is ideal when using it outside.

These are hands-down the best headphones I have ever owned. The volume is excellent and well-balanced, delivering clear sound without overpowering your eardrums. The charging capability is incredibly efficient, requiring only a few minutes to provide a full day of battery life. They offer outstanding value for money—I have already purchased three pairs for myself, a friend, and my son, and I will continue to buy them in the future. The design is exceptionally versatile; they sit comfortably on the outside of the ear and rests easily around the neck when not in use. They are so lightweight and comfortable that I occasionally forget I am wearing them and have even fallen asleep with them on. Furthermore, their waterproof durability is impressive, consistently holding up against daily use in the shower. I highly recommend this product; it is a purchase you will not regret.

So I have always struggle with keeping earbuds in my ears. I feel like my ears must be in between sizes of the little rubber things they give you to fit them in your ear canal. So I've never been able to wear ear buds without having to constantly push them back in. I have headphones that hang over each ear, which helps, but unfortunately, the sound quality isn't as good and they are very difficult to keep on my ear with glasses. These shokz headsets have surprisingly good sound quality. There's even substantial bass, although if the bass is too heavy, I feel a noticeable vibration where it touches my face, which is pretty distracting. I can generally turn the volume down to remedy this. These are the only headphones I've ever worn that can handle a run without budging. This includes profuse sweating and my glasses on. I do have to put the headphones on first, then my glasses on top, to ensure the shokz make good contact to my head, so my glasses are slightly less secure. Phone calls are surprisingly clear, both from my end and from the other person's end. I can have a clear conversation while running out while walking through a busy grocery store. Since your ear is open, there's no need for passthrough mode. On other headphones, when I turn on passthrough mode and I ride a bike, all I can hear is the wind, which defeats the purpose. With these, you can listen to music while biking while still being situationally aware. A word of caution, while the volume can't go crazy high, it can get high enough where you cannot hear your surroundings. I've been caught in the office not hearing somebody call my name. I do have an overly large head, so after several hours (4-6), the sides of my head will need a break, as the headphones literally squeeze on. But this is well worth it as it is a very secure fit. You will need to adjust to find the perfect location to position these. I put them directly in front of the little cartilage "flag" things that is just forward of my earhole. That stands to get me maximum volume and clarity Overall, I absolutely love these headphones. I use them continuously through the day, and they generally last the full 8 hour day of intermittent music/standby use. Would definitely recommend

Wear them everyday. Light and comfortable I forget i have them on. Sound is decent for what they are. Can't crank up the volume too loud or it kind of tickles your temples. Battery life seems decent and charges fairly quick.

These are awesome. Sound: based on some non-scientific testing, the headphones seem able to reproduce sound down to about 100Hz, so low bass and sub-bass won't really hit the way you're used to. In most cases I can still hear the bassline because of the overtones, and I'm happy with the overall sound quality. For genres like folk music(or other acoustic/unplugged type music) you might not miss the low frequencies at all. Comfort: I have a large head. When buying hats, I buy the largest size and hope it's big enough. The regular size of the Openrun fits me almost perfectly. I can lean back without moving it very much, something many reviewers have trouble with. If you can wear the 'mini' version, I recommend it; wear the smallest version that will fit. That said, it's ALMOST too small, and wearing it all day does cause a little soreness where the band contracts the front of my ears. Battery: I received the headphones and charged them up in the afternoon, and then used them/tested them out most of that evening, probably 3-4 hours. I then turned them off, turning them back on the next morning at 7:30 am to start my work day. I wore them all day, listening to music and YouTube videos, shut them off for the drive home(about 45 minutes) and then used them another 3 hours before the voice in the headphones said 'charge me'. I'd estimate that was a total of 13-14 hours. Most of the time I had the volume set to about half, or a little under, which brings me to.... Sound leakage: At what I would consider normal/comfortable volume, another person would need to be within one or two feet of your head to hear THAT you are listening to something, and would be unlikely to know WHAT you're listening to. At max volume, that increases to 5-6 feet to notice the sound, and a few feet away to potentially hear details. I can't imagine ever using the headphones that loud. A word of warning: normally cranking up headphones HURTS, but these don't(?). They seem to bypass, at least for me, the part of the hearing system that feels pain, which makes me worry that I(you?) could damage the inner ear without realizing it. Situational awareness: Now, last but certainly not least, the reason I started looking at bone conduction headphones in the first place. I'm an amateur photographer who often goes out at lunch to take pictures of local birds at the park near my office, and other places on weekends. These let me hear well enough to find birds in the trees by sound. They really don't interfere with normal hearing at all. It's kind of wild when you first use them. In addition, I can be listening to music, etc. and still hear/interact with family and friends, or coworkers at the office(see above: wearing them all day at the office). They're light, a good value for the performance, and well worth buying.

I owned the less expensive version of this headset that I used for working out. I liked its functionality and sound quality so much I bought this pair for their enhanced sound quality. I'm glad I did because their bass response is even better and the USB-C charging connection makes traveling simpler. OpenRun's over-the-ear, back-of-head strap works extremely well for holding them in-place. The right button toggle turns the on/off and increases or lowers the volume. The left temple button starts and stops the music. It couldn't be simpler to use. While the low end sound won't compete with over-the-ear or in-the-ear headphones/ear buds they are perfect for their intended use because they still allow you to hear what's going on around you.

Second pair - work great, comfortable to wear, all day battery, good calling, great for music and podcasts while being able to hear your environment

Très bonne qualité tiens ses promesses léger son de qualité tout en permettant de rester attentif à l'environnement.

Je les adore. Ils sont confortables sans entrer dans l'oreille. Ça me permet d'avoir conscience de ce qui se passe autour de moi tout en écoutant mon podcast ou ma musique préféré. C'est sûr qu'au niveau du son, ce n'est pas une qualité studio mais c'est tout de même très bien et la longévité de la batterie est très satisfaisante.

Ich hatte auf komfortable, sichere Kopfhörer fürs Laufen gehofft – die Shokz OpenRun erfüllen diese Erwartung und überzeugen in allen wesentlichen Punkten. Material & Verarbeitung: Die Verarbeitung ist hochwertig. Der Bügel wirkt robust, bleibt dabei flexibel und sitzt sauber am Kopf, ohne zu drücken. Die Oberflächen sind glatt, gleichmäßig beschichtet und machen einen langlebigen Eindruck. Das IP67-Rating ist nachvollziehbar, da alle Übergänge sauber abgedichtet wirken. Auch das mitgelieferte USB-C-Kabel und das Stirnband sind ordentlich verarbeitet. Anwendung & Funktion: Die Kopfhörer lassen sich leicht aufsetzen und sitzen stabil, selbst bei schnellen Bewegungen. Durch die Open-Ear-Bauweise bleiben Umgebungsgeräusche gut wahrnehmbar, was beim Laufen ein Sicherheitsvorteil ist. Der Klang ist für Knochenschall-Technik klar und ausreichend kräftig. Die Steuerung reagiert zuverlässig, und das Mikrofon liefert verständliche Sprachqualität. Die Akkulaufzeit entspricht den Angaben und hält problemlos durch längere Trainingseinheiten. Fazit: Ein durchdachtes, stabiles und funktionales Sport-Headset. Besonders geeignet für Nutzer, die beim Training Wert auf Komfort, sicheren Sitz und offene Ohren legen. Klare Empfehlung – 5 Sterne.

GENIALES! Tienen gran definición de sonido y es una maravilla el que sean de conducción ósea. Ideales para quienes les duelen los oídos con los convencionales o simplemente su oreja los bota. La música se transmite bien y hasta traen tres modos de equalización. Para mí, resultaron perfectos para mis necesidades.
