SHOKZ OpenRun Pro Mini- 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

I like earbuds for their low cost and good sound quality. I decided to try these at the suggestion of a coworker. I work in the front office of a manufacturing facility. These headphones do well in the office for what I call "elevator music mode," it's low but just always there and I can hear things around me. I think they do well for multiple styles of music from classical to heavy metal and rap. The bass is better than I thought it would be and, surprisingly, I have noticed vocals are easier to understand than with earbuds I have tried.Here's a use case I discovered that the manufacturer might not have considered: these headphones work extremely well with ear plugs. When I go on the manufacturing floor I can hear my music clearly while wearing my earplugs. The tone isn't quite right compared to a stereo or ear buds, but it's still darn good. And the safety man can't grumble at me for not wearing PPE.There's a downside to wearing these with earplugs. Usually you can hear things around you even with earplugs, but with music on top of that you can't hear anything. So be careful. I suppose it's good if you stay in one area on the assembly line, but they do make walking around a bit more tricky.The good thing about wearing earplugs is the volume doesn't have to be turned up very much for the music to sound loud. I've frequently had battery life exceed 10 hours since I rarely play music over 50% volume during the day.They're also very convenient for phone calls. No one has had trouble hearing me on the phone, and I can do other stuff while talking. These headphones beat any other earpiece I've ever had.One last thought, range is very good. I can get around 50 feet from my phone while listening to music in free air (no obstructions... walls, etc). They will maintain a connection for a good distance beyond what is capable of audio transmission and resume playing when coming back into range. Oh, and they are comfortable. I wear them all day, even when they are not playing, with no problems.The price is a bit high, but I'd replace them with an identical set without any thought (I mean, assuming I have the money).

i bought and owned a pair of SHOKZ OpenComm they were amazingly comfortable and awsome with great noise canceling mic i couldnt have been more happy with them till i wasn't the mic quite! They were still under warranty, company notified me 3 times that i would receive a replacement but 6months to a year and i still did not get a replacement!! Picked up a cheap used bone induction for a while then needed another pair still no replacement from shokz! I was hesitant to order any thing from shokz again. Did research and chose another brand. Mojowa, great qulity, amazing bluetooth range, decent sound, ok mic but terible fit for me they hurt! no mater what i did i could not get them comfrtable, regretted ordering them!kept thinking of the comfort of my old shokz what else did they offer? Still decided to stay away from the open com but relented and order these SHOKZ OpenRun Pro!Amost didnt!! but glad i did!!i can wear them all l day i even forget i have them on!!!!full disclosure; i use my shokz most for cell phone use driving and construction work, music listening is secondary, for you earbud sound critics they probably will not match sony or bose but the sound is vastly improved from my first open com and the best in all the bone inductions i have had!(FYI little note/trick with bone induction, if they are not loud eough for you, if you are in a loud enviroment use earplugs or sound proof ear muffs and they will be loud!! Sounds i know, crazy but true!I do not like earbud or things in my ears i also like being aware of my surroundings so bone induction is the only way to go for me!With a great battery life and fast chargeing, unrivaled all day comfort, sound greatly improve and a good mic thease SHOKZ OpenRun Pro! for me, are by far the best overall most comfortable bone induction headset available! i want to stay a shokz user forever i hope the quality of these excedes my last pair of shokz or at least the costomer service is more reliable!! because for now, these SHOKZ OpenRun Pro are great! Stay tuned!!

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.
