I cycle and run. Sometimes on longer rides I would like a little, something. Music, talk, a distraction. Pros- battery life is great. I have used these out on jobs while I work. Have run them all day long, 8-10 hours on a lower volume setting and they worked all day. They fit great and are very easy to use once you remember the buttons so you can reach up and adjust them. I have used them while walking through a store and chatting on the phone. Have not had any complaints about people not being able to hear me. Out on bike rides they are good. From zero mph to around 20mph you can hear them. This also depends on the wind, meaning not the wind from you riding but Mother Nature. Above 20mph they get difficult to hear. If you’re listening to a playlist you know then you can pick out parts and know what you’re listening to. I tried listening to a podcast and above 20mph I had no idea what they were talking about. Running, they stay in place, don’t bounce around. They come with a headband but I have never used it. There are no issues with hearing anything while running. I also like these because it doesn’t block you ear canal and I can clearly hear my bike computer yelling at me when my bike radar detects a car coming from behind. I can hear the car approaching as well. You can have a conversation with people while using them but I tend to block out their voice and concentrate on the music. I do have to turn the volume down so I don’t get distracted from the conversation. Value for the money, well, they are pricey but compared to say, iPods or similar good quality ear pieces I think these are on par with other brands. I cannot speak on durability as I intentionally do not abuse them, throw, drop, kick, sling them in any way. For what I do they have held up well. If you ride, run or walk I would recommend looking into the these.

These SHOKZ OpenRun Pro bone conduction headphones are outstanding! I use them primarily for running and workouts, and they’ve exceeded my expectations. The open-ear design lets me stay fully aware of my surroundings (traffic, people, etc.) while still delivering clear, enjoyable audio with improved bass thanks to the dual drivers. They’re incredibly lightweight and comfortable for long sessions—no ear fatigue or slipping even when sweating. Battery life is excellent (I easily get 8+ hours), Bluetooth connectivity is reliable, and the build quality feels premium. Controls are intuitive, and they’re sweat-resistant as advertised. If you want safe, comfortable headphones for outdoor activities without blocking the world, these are perfect. Worth every penny! Would buy again.

As an owner of Apple AirPod Pro, Max headset, etc, I ordered these to experiment with “bone conduction” technology. So far, I’ve very impressed. Some features that intrigue me: 1. Normally something goes in your ear to restrict outside sound. When I’m working and using these for MS Teams, WebEx, etc - I may want to hear someone in the room talking to me. This new perspective on sound isolation versus allowing environmental sound (also discussed by other users to be safer when outdoors running) is a reason to add these to your sound listening tools. 2. The Bass is thumping! (Literally) against my head. This is the first pair of headphones where I’ve “had” to turn them down a bit. 3. My partner can hear the music. I’ve read other reviews where this technology isolates the sound only to the user - this is not the case. High quality music, but if you turn it up others can hear you. 4. Comfort - perfect. As you can see in my pic, the headset rests comfortably over the ear and lightly touches your cheek bone. Probably the most comfortable headset every owned. 5. Get rid of inside ear devices. The in-ear earbuds and the silicone, rubber, etc have cause me issues with excessive use during the pandemic. (My ear canal skin is now suddenly sensitive to the rubber tips… and yes, I’ve swapped out and tried other products). I had to give my apple AirPod pro set to my partner, who loves them (and I miss them). If you’re looking for something high quality that doesn’t go into your ear, this is perfect. 6. Video conferencing “look”. Visually, they’re hardly noticeable. If you’re conferencing now “at home” during the pandemic and don’t want “headphones” being broadcasted, this is a great option. (I’ll be testing more this week). 7. Bluetooth pairing. While this can be a nightmare, I’ve found this multi-pairing feature (standard on apple headphones) to be perfect. I quickly paired to my iPhone, IPad, and work iPad very easily with no issues. I’ll revise this review of this critical attribute changes. If I have trouble connecting, or staying connected… this product will be returned immediately. 8. Magnetic connection charger. Unique “one of a kind” proprietary cord. Works great, but don’t lose it. 9. The back antenna/connector does not touch your head. It sticks out behind your head. As such, you cannot use them laying down in bed. Well hidden for calls. The only thing I “feel” when wearing these is the light touch on my cheek bones. Overall, I’ll call these an amazing addition to my sound listening tools. I use apple AirPod Max for listening to Dolby Atmos movies and Spatial Audio with superb 3D sound quality. I didn’t purchase Shokz for that reason. I’ll use headphones for entertainment purposes (3D audio), but these Shokz are excellent for everything else. If you want high quality, lightweight, versatile headphones that allow others to talk to you (not you isolate them out), or hear that car coming when you’re running or biking - these are for you. If you don’t need the “thumping bass”, a lower cost model might suit you perfectly.

7 month update... I use these daily at work and at home. My set has developed an odd glitch, they will start to crackle, and when I press pause they shut off. When I turn them back on, they are fine. They also seem to turn themselves back on when they are done charging, my only indication being missed notifications because they have reconnected. It's probably just mine, but I'll probably replace them with a different model or perhaps a different brand. I think they should last longer than 7 months. First the positive.. they are far more comfortable and sound better to me than in ear earbuds. It's surprising how good these sound, and how well they retain clarity and detail even at very low volume levels. I can leave them on all day with no discomfort, and they have the advantage that I can have conversations with coworkers without the need to drop out an earbud every time someone asks me a question. Sound quality is very good, although not as good as say a full coverage headphone. They go the day on a single charge, although they report 'battery medium' at about 30 minutes use so I don't fully trust them yet. They don't interfere with my reading glasses, and I can use a standard phone without the need to remove them. The neutrals.. they don't offer much in the way of controls, but the controls they do offer are simple and work well. Now the negatives.. although the list is short. I absolutely hate the magnetic charger, and this is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. I would have gotten something else had I realized they don't use standard type C cables. If you have a collar, the hoop around the back of your head can bump it and move them around a little. Not a big deal, but worth noting. And.. that's IT. I love these things, and unless I specifically want noise reduction of some sort, can't see myself switching back to in ear earbuds. Like ever.

I was a little skeptical about these at first, but after talking to others and reading reviews, I decided to get these. I have to say, I really love these things! I have no problem wearing them with my bike helmet on, and they feel like I'm not wearing anything on my ears. The sound quality is much better than I expected. They are not as good as the best in-ear buds, but they are good enough and the benefits far outweigh the cons. I used to only wear one ear bud, loosely in one ear so that I could be aware of my surroundings while riding. Now I can wear these as-is and hear everything around me while listening to music in stereo at regular the same time. Very cool. These are really a game changer for me! I've also tried these in my home office on Teams and Webex calls and they work great. I can seriously wear them all day with zero discomfort. Some cons: Some people say that they can become useless at high speeds with wind noise. I have not really experienced this problem even at 20-25mph. Maybe this could be a problem on a really windy day at these speeds. I suppose it could be a problem on a long decent as well at higher speeds, but really the climb is where I need some music to get through it sometimes. Another con is if you answer your cell phone while riding (you can do that by tapping the side button) you need to stop or slow down so that both sides can hear each other. And lastly, I wish the charge lasted longer. I can't really use them all day at work and then go on a long bike ride. I do realize though, that the bone conduction technology has to use more energy than standard earbuds to achieve the same volume, so I understand this and am okay with it. (Maybe I'll get another pair some day for my home office!) Other thoughts: My wife bought the OpenFit Open-Ear model after trying these out because she prefers the individual earbuds that do not go around the back of the head. Those are awesome too with possibly slightly better sound quality. But for me I prefer these because I find it much easier to put them on my head, especially because I don't have as much hair as she does. They kind of just fall into place, with no adjustments needed.

Really 4.5 Stars but because I was pleasantly surprised I rounded up to 5. I'm a believer in bone conduction technology now. Sound quality: Really good almost across the board. I wasn't expecting much for bass but it was alright. If you up the volume you might not notice the difference unless you are an audiophile. Unfortunately, by upping the volume you get the vibrating tingling sensation that you feel under your skin. Doesn't bother me, but I can see it being a problem who might be prone to vertigo if they have that kind of sensitivity in their inner ear canal. Or maybe you just don't like being tickled from in front of your ear to your upper jawbone. Weird sensations aside, if you drop the volume to where you are not feeling it under your skin, you may lose some of that low end sound. This can be improved by adjusting the resting point to right in front of your ear (if you have the right sized head to angle the headset that way). Fit for Standard: I have a big head so the conduction portion sits right in front of my ear. Good comfortable fit. Wore overnight with no pain around the ear or around where the strap sits. Doesn't even bother me if I side sleep. I also have glasses and have felt minimal to no awkwardness while using the headset. The only time it feels weird is if they slip and the earpiece on one ear rests on top of the glasses and the other side rests underneath the glasses. But nothing a quick adjustment couldn't fix for me. Battery Life: Played string instrumental covers while I slept lasted 8 hours plus. Told me the battery was still medium... whatever that means. But I never really needed to use it more for 8 hours straight. Range: Pretty good. Not the greatest but far from the worst. Connected to both laptop and Samsung Z Fold 4. With phone, no connection loss outdoors with phone in pants pocket. Indoors I can step away at least 50 ft while losing line of sight around a wall. Two walls pushes it but I have managed a somewhat stable connection if I am close to that 2nd door. Microphone: Loud and clear. I use in Teams meetings and phone calls with no issues. Honestly, I will probably still get the Aftershokz version with the extended mic in the hopes that it will reduce background noise. I work in a high traffic area so the general Shokz mic may pickup other people and background noise too easily. Uses: Used in Teams meetings, workouts, and while I sleep. The open ear is amazing because it helps with situational awareness. I work in a lab and covering both ears is just a safety issue. But I can walk around the laboratory during Teams meetings and still be aware of my surroundings. Same with the gym. Pet Peeve: I hate special or proprietary chargers. Ugh. But magnetic attachments get a mild pass. I just need to buy more cables to stash at home and work. Overall: I was going to deduct a half a star for low end loss and the proprietary charger but honestly even that is overkill considering how well this company engineered bone conduction technology and made everything else pretty high end.

I've tried many many bone conducting earphones since I use my headphones all day and in ear or over ear headphones causes a lot of heat/hearing issues in long term. So far I've never seen one that I can easily listen to and not broadcast what I'm listening to outside. All others were somewhat audible from outside. Low volume level, enough to disturb your partner night time or passenger next to you while travelling. This one is as perfect as you can ever get. This really sits on the bone, does not give out audio to outside (you can barely hear it if you remove it from your ear and hold it half an inch from your ear. And even during night time, it is inaudible to my partner. Sound quality is also somehow much better than others I've tried. I'm not gonna lie, I've tried all other options because I did not want to pay this absurd price for this one. But in the long run, with me changing headphones because I was not happy with them and some others just failing/breaking down, I've spent more than the price of this one. I still think it is way too expensive for what it is, but it is without competition I guess that's why the price can be so high and they still can sell this. I've bought it in the end after all, right? So far, I could not be happier. Highly recommend it. So, as for negatives, first you really need to know that any bone conducting headphones will feel funny/tingly when you're listening to high volume music or high bass situations. So if you're listening to low frequency stuff like explosion scenes in a movie or music with high bass then you will feel a bit tingly if your volume is high. Second thing is battery life. 10 hours nowadays is too short of a runtime for headphones. My over the ear headphones can run literally days without being turned off at all, while it is still playing music. I used to not even bother to turn the music or my headphones off, I'd just leave them on my desk and come Monday, they will still be playing the music. Of course this is a tiny device with a tiny battery so 10 hours it is I guess. Just be prepared to charge it daily. Which leads us to: Third, proprietary charging cable. That really is something that always bugs me. Why oh why would companies not use standard cables? I mean I know why, it is a business model to get more money out of you and it is easier to design a product like this if you don't have to worry about the depth of a USB C connector. But still, it is annoying. you have to carry around a special cable when you're travelling just for this one. The rest of my devices, laptops, external mobile screens, writing pad, my phone, my mouse they all are charged with usb c, so I can share the adapter and cable. But now I'll have to carry this cable too. And if I forget... well no music after 10 hours. These are all the negatives so positives outweigh by a large margin. In the end, I highly recommend these if you have any hearing issues caused by heat/moisture of keeping on headphones all day, if you have hearing loss due to eardrum or if you want to ride a bicycle while still being able to hear approaching traffic or if you just plain and simple have money to burn. The length of this review should show how much I liked these. Seriously though, try to switch to bone conducting headphones even if it is a cheaper one if you have the issues that I've mentioned. It makes your life much better and keeps your hearing and ears in better condition.

After having my old headphones for almost fives years, I knew it was time for an upgrade. When I got these headphones and took them to work the next day, I was shocked by how good the audio and build were. Being able to work in a loud kitchen environment and still being able to hear my music was perfect. I was also pleased to know the old controls were still the same, so I knew exactly how to play/pause music when I needed to (which is really easy due to the big button). The battery life is also amazing compared to my old headphones that will be low-medium battery left once I was done with work, but these headphones still had a lot of battery after a shift, and along with the fast charging time, they were at full before my next shift. I feel the original price is a bit steep and definitely suggest getting them when they're on sale around $100, but otherwise, great product and worth the money!

J'ai commandé ce casque dans l'optique de l'utiliser lors de mes séances de course à pied, et mes trajets en vélo, pour être un peu plus en sécurité car ce casque n'isole pas du monde extérieur. Apparemment il ne devrait pas être utilisé à vélo en France vis à vis de la loi, ce qui est bien dommage car je ne vois pas en quoi c'est plus dangereux qu'un autoradio. J'avais lu beaucoup de tests avant de l'acheter, et j'y ai vu des réserves quand à la qualité audio pour les systèmes de ce type. Franchement, j'en suis très satisfait. En effet les petits haut-parleurs supplémentaires sur cette version pro permettent d'avoir un son tout a fait correct à mon goût. J'ai un vrai casque Hi-Fi, bien sûr ce n'est pas la même chose, mais pas le même usage non plus. Au final j'en suis tellement satisfait que je l'utilise aussi au bureau désormais. Cela permet d'écouter de la musique à faible volume tout en tenant une conversation, et contrairement à des écouteurs on l'oublie facilement quand on le porte. Il se fait tellement oublier que parfois c'est en prenant un appel que je me souviens le porter, après avoir mise en pause la musique puis oublié de la relancer. La charge est très rapide et la batterie me suffit en général pour plusieurs jours avec quelques heures d'utilisation. Il est très facile à nettoyer avec un passage de lingette après une grosse séance de sport par exemple. Niveau étanchéité je me suis déjà pris la pluie avec et aucun soucis jusqu'à présent. Casque hyper pratique, je ne regrette pas. Il est tout de même beaucoup plus cher que les versions basiques, mais je pense que la qualité sonore ne m'aurait pas autant apporté satisfaction.

Eğer açık havada koşuyor yada bisiklet susuyorsanız bu ürünü kullanmaya başladığınızda vazgeçilmeziniz olacaktır. Ürünün bir çok videosunu izledim, içimden hadi lan ordan kemik iletimi mi olur dedim... Ama tahminimin ötesinde bir ürün olduğunu dener denemez anladım. Türkiye fiyatı 7000 ila 10000 tl arasında değişiyor. Ben bu ürünü 2024 Mart ayı sonlarına doğru 5045 TL gibi uygun rakama aldım. Amazon sayesinde hem ucuza hemde güvenli bir şekilde tarafıma ulaştı. Şarj suresini test etmedim, umarım denildiği gibi 10 saat dinleme imkanı sağlıyordur. Kulak üzerinde hissetmiyorsunuz bile... gerçekten hafif ve yüksek kaliteli sesi hemen fark ediyorsunuz. Umarım yazdıklarım size yardımcı olmuştur. Sporla kalın sağlıklı yaşayın iyi günler....

I do quite a lot of walking and like to listen to podcasts when doing so. Over the last few years I have finally managed to wear out the 3.5mm headphone jack on my phone (I also wore out more than one set of wired headphones). As such, I was forced to take the plunge and go wireless and I'm glad I did. This headset is simply ideal for use as a 'sports' headset, especially outdoors. It's light, cordless and so far has been very rugged. To me it is almost a perfect wireless sports headset. The bone conduction technology is very effective, making for extremely clear spoken word and pretty decent music reproduction. Despite the promotion of the bass capabilities, this is not going to match regular earbuds for deep bass reproduction but in my opinion it is more than 'good enough' especially if outdoors and/or doing sports activity. They would not be my first choice for audiophile listening but for activity use, absolutely no quibbles. The sound doesn't 'feel' all that different from standard headphones ... before I first tried them I thought that they might give a sort of 'disembodied' sound but really, they could just as easily be normal headphones. I had read people complaining about the transducers 'tickling' the temples but I've only managed to reproduce this feeling by turning them up to max volume with loud source material. Even then, it wasn't a particular discomfort. Talking of loudness, they don't seem to go as subjectively loud as most headphones but they sort of don't 'need' to as the sound is just conducted into your eardrums via your skull. I have no complaints, anyway. Possibly when it comes to loud music they might even be 'safer' for the ear than normal phones too but I'm not qualified to give an expert opinion on that. Because your ears aren't obstructed, you can hear everything going on around you (unless masked by the audio you are playing). This is very useful for outdoor use if you are cycling or walking/running near traffic and offers a real safety benefit. Also, because the headset is very light you can keep wearing it and still interact with people, unlike say, earbuds that you might have to remove to talk to someone. It's easy to forget that you are in fact wearing headphones. This ears-unblocked design also has an interesting 'inverse' application where you can use a set of standard, cheap noise blocking earplugs to exclude external noise but still allow you to hear the headphones perfectly. If you are working in a noise-hazard environment where you need to use plugs, this can be useful. Aside from headphone use, it also supports the functions of a telephone headset. It works really well for this, in fact its my preferred bluetooth headset for hands-free use on my phone because of its lightness and open-ears design, allowing you to wear it for long periods. Speech comes though really clearly on the phones and the microphone has worked well even in relatively noise environments too. There's a multifunction button on the left transducer which lets you control audio playback and answer calls etc. Battery life is decent enough - I've never run them down from 100% to empty but have had at least 5 hours listening with the battery level remaining 'medium' (when you power on the phones you get an audible notification of battery level). I think the claimed life is something like 7 hours or so which seems reasonable. One strange thing is that they don't seem to have an auto-timeout when you disconnect or if they do, it's a long time. I guess that could lead to them being inadvertantly depleted of battery if you forget to power them down. The headphones themselves are very robust - there is a strong, slim 'band' (almost like a thick wire) that goes behind the back of your head to clamp the bone conduction units to the area of your temples. For me, this has fitted really well and with the right amount of clamping force. It's not adjustable though so I guess you might experience issues depending on the dimensions of your head. My guess is that they have targeted the most common head size. In any case, the whole setup feels very robust and seems unlikely to break. The bone conduction transducers are pretty much sealed (there do seem to be some grills for bass) so they seem a lot more durable than foam pads or rubber tips as typically found on regular 'phones. There is a degree or water resistance (or sweat I guess) which gives me confidence that they are not going to self destruct if it rains or I get really sweaty. The design makes it really easy to clean the headphones after use - just wipe them down. I absolutely would not want to get them submerged in water, however. The manufacturers do have a dedicated fully waterproof swimming MP3 player based on similar tech which I am probably going to buy too. There is a fair degree of sound leakage compared to earbuds but not likely to be a problem for sports or when outdoors. Not ideal if you are sitting next to someone or maybe in a small office though. Overall, I think these are absolutely superb for the purpose of sports/activity, indoors or outdoors. Also great if you want something that you can wear for long periods of time and that doesn't inhibit your ability to hear the world around you. As I said, they are so good that I will most likely take the plunge and get their swimming mp3 headset for use in the pool. I am only sorry I didn't take the leap and adopt this technology sooner. Even though they are quite pricey I think they are well worth it and they should last many years.

Me han gustado mucho estos audífonos. Por alguna razón, nunca me ha gustado aislarme del ruido externo, por lo que opté por estos audífonos y me gustan mucho. Claro, no va a ser la misma calidad que audífonos in-ear u over-ear, pero realmente se escucha bien como "música de fondo" sin que te distraiga de tus alrededores. Los uso para trabajo de oficina, o en casa que debo estar pendiente de si me hablan, e incluso los he usado conectados a la tele por bluetooth para jugar en línea con mis amigos, y no tengo ninguna queja, se escucha muy claro todo. Lo único malo es que no los puedo usar en el gimnasio porque, como hay música fuerte, no escucho estos audífonos. Así que no es para usarse en lugares en donde ya hay ruido alto. Pero para todo lo demás, encantado. La pila también les dura demasiado. Sí duran sus 10 horas de uso continuo. No los uso todos los días, tampoco, por lo que me han llegado a durar una semana con el uso que les doy. Recomendadísimos. Los volvería a comprar.

I've been using Shokz bone-conduction headphones since they were still branded as AfterShokz Aeropex, and after roughly 4-5 years of ownership, they've proven to be one of the most durable pieces of tech I've purchased. Originally, I bought three pairs. One required warranty replacement during the first year, and another finally stopped working about a month ago. The remaining two are still functioning well today. My desk-use pair looks almost new, while my daily-use pair only shows minor cosmetic wear where the outer coating has started to peel slightly after years of use. How I Actually Use Them Unlike many reviewers, I don't use these primarily for sports. My main uses are: Daily commuting on public transit Lunch breaks and general everyday listening PC gaming sessions that often last 6+ hours and sometimes 12 hours or more on weekends Occasional music and phone calls For commuting, they do an excellent job maintaining clear audio even with city and bus noise around me. For gaming, they've honestly been fantastic. One of the biggest advantages is comfort. I don't experience the ear fatigue, pressure, or heat buildup that I get from traditional over-ear headsets. Despite being bone-conduction headphones, positional audio and directional cues such as footsteps are still easy to distinguish, and I've had no issues using them in competitive games. Battery Life Battery life has remained surprisingly consistent over the years. I haven't noticed any significant degradation, and I never find myself worrying about whether they'll last through the day. Canadian Weather I've worn them through Canadian winters, and interestingly, wearing a toque can actually improve the listening experience by holding the transducers closer to the head, making the sound feel fuller. I've also used them in light rain and light snow without issues, although I generally try not to expose electronics to bad weather longer than necessary. Warranty Experience I had to use the warranty once due to static and audio issues developing on one side of the headset. From what I remember, the process was straightforward. I explained the issue, and Shokz replaced the unit without charging shipping costs. It's been long enough that I don't remember whether they required the original headset to be returned. Comparison to Newer Models I've recently tested both the Suunto Wing and the OpenRun Pro 2. The Suunto Wing delivers impressive sound quality and is a strong competitor, especially considering its price. However, it doesn't reach the same volume levels that I've come to expect from the Aeropex/OpenRun generation. The OpenRun Pro 2 was more surprising. While the newer air-conduction technology may technically improve audio quality, I personally preferred the original listening experience. The newer design seemed to leak more sound, and the audio felt slightly more hollow to me. Even in Classic Mode, something about the tuning felt different from the Aeropex generation. Pros Exceptional long-term durability Extremely comfortable for extended wear No ear pressure or heat buildup during long sessions Reliable battery life even after years of use Great for commuting and maintaining awareness of surroundings Positive warranty experience Cons Outer coating can eventually show wear after years of heavy use Audiophiles may prefer traditional headphones for pure sound quality Newer Shokz models may not appeal to everyone who likes the original Aeropex sound profile Final Thoughts The biggest compliment I can give these headphones is that after 4-5 years of ownership and after trying newer alternatives, I still prefer them. They're comfortable, durable, reliable, and fit naturally into my daily routine. When my remaining pairs eventually give out, I'll likely buy another set.
