SHOKZ OpenRun Bone Conduction Sports headphones, IP67 Waterproof bluetooth earphones for running, work out(Black)

I’ve been using the SHOKZ OpenRun headphones for a couple of months and I love them. The sound great and they’re super comfortable - the only thing I would like is for the band to be a little smaller and fit more snugly to the back of my head. However once positioned they stay in place and you forget your wearing headphones. The open-ear design is great as you can hear traffic and still have conversations with people around me, which feels much safer. Battery life is good - only had to charge 3 times, use them for around 30-40 minutes a day. Call quality is clear, i have had people say they struggle to hear me though. They are great if you’re active and want to stay aware of your surroundings.

I’m a big fan of bone conduction headphones. If you’ve ever experienced that claustrophobic feeling of being cut off from your surroundings, then bone conduction is definitely the way to go. No more itchy or sweaty ears from earbuds or the risk of one falling out. You can listen to music or podcasts and still hear your surroundings and the safety aspect speaks for itself. There are a range of bone conduction devices on the market but Shokz are definitely the Rolls Royce of these and have been developing this technology for around 20 years. I originally purchased a cheaper pair, when I say ‘cheap’ they were still around the £40 mark. I enjoyed the experience and later decided to go for the Shokz Openrun and as soon as I put them on I realised the difference in quality. They are well balanced and sit comfortably on the ears and they sounded much better. If you want a ‘near’ experience of what it feels like to wear bone conduction headphones then put a pair of spectacles on backwards so that the lenses are at the rear of your head and the arms of the glasses rest over you ears. They sit gently and comfortably over your ears but the listening experience is through your cheekbones. They are discreet and can also be worn comfortably with glasses. After a while you almost forget you are wearing them. It is very easy to turn the Shokz OpenRun on using the manual button which is located just behind the right ear. You will hear a woman’s voice ‘welcome you’ and confirm that you are ‘connected.’ I’ve not experienced any problem with connection, it always seems to work. If for some reason you go out of the Bluetooth range of your connected device you will hear 2 beeps in rapid succession to inform you of this. As soon as you are within range you will hear ‘connected!’ I would like to experience the more expensive OpenRun Pro, but some of the reviews I’ve looked at say that the difference in sound is minimal and in fact the OpenRun have a higher water and sweat resistance than the pros? Makes no sense! Anyhow, I can thoroughly recommend these quality headphones, five stars and perfect for audio books too!

I use this kit for running. It's ideal as I can hear music but also hear oncoming traffic etc. it's definitely good value for money. I've worn it in sun and rain with no issues (I've not tried it in a monsoon yet). The sound quality is good, and unlike earbuds there's no worries about it falling off whilst running

I thought long and hard about getting these, even at the Black Friday price their still pretty expensive and I am pretty fussy about audio quality which seemed perhaps a weak area. Also I wear glasses and was not sure how these would fit combined with glasses and a cycling helmet. The first thing I did on receiving it was to compared the Open Run sound to my Pixel Buds, my Huawei Freeview 4is, and my Soundcore Q30 heads sets. All good but not top of the range. The Open Run sound was sadly lacking in this company. But I felt this was an unfair comparison as I always saw these as a cycling only headset so tried them out this afternoon on the bike. They came into thier own here. The sound was clear and never overwhelmed the background sound. The more I wore them the more I appreciated the clarity and channel separation, bass was a bit light but ok and I never had an issue with wearing with glasses and a helmet. I would not wear these around the house, as they are just not good enough, but on a bike are very effective. Build quality is good, worth getting a hard case to store them in.

The SHOKZ OpenRun Bone Conduction Sports Headphones are an absolute game-changer for anyone who wants high-quality sound while staying aware of their surroundings. The open-ear design is incredibly comfortable, allowing for long listening sessions without any ear fatigue. Whether running, cycling, or just walking, the fit is secure and lightweight, making them perfect for active use. One of the standout features is how well they perform in all weather conditions. Rain, sweat, or cold temperatures—these headphones handle it all without missing a beat. The IP67 rating ensures they’re resistant to water and dust, so there’s no need to worry about unexpected downpours or intense workouts. The sound quality is impressive for bone conduction, delivering clear audio and balanced bass while still allowing ambient noise for safety. Battery life is excellent, lasting through multiple workouts or long runs before needing a recharge. For anyone looking for durable, weather-resistant headphones that combine comfort, safety, and great performance, the SHOKZ OpenRun is an outstanding choice.

The fit is extremely good, they sit firm to the head but not uncomfortably so. It's easy to wear them and barely notice. I took one star off sound quality, not because of any issue with the headset, but simply because you do not yet get the same quality from this type of headphones as you would from standard in ear or over the ear headphones. For bone conduction headphones, the sound quality is great. I also took 2 stars off for noise cancellation as being able to hear your surroundings is an intended feature of the design. You will not have problems hearing your media over surrounding noise unless particularly loud. Battery life is great, 8 hours gets me through my work day and time at the gym. Overall I would definitely recommend.

Bone conductors so, No ear wax, good for bikes and running, clear sound bass is fine but dubstep probably not the best. I use day to day and and for work calls. The multi cast setting allows me to switch between devices, not always perfect when switching. Struggles with Win11(and win11 Teams) fine with Win10 as it shows hands free as a separate option. Fine with using with glasses Battery life is great, only charge over night. 50% volume is usually plenty on all devices Not great for laying in bed or on pillow, no issue on head rests on office chairs. Sometimes can get ear ache but that's from over use (all day for days on end) May forget that your wearing it like most headphones, but not very portable if need to carry in pocket.

Good product

Słuchawki wykorzystujące przewodnictwo kostne Shokz OpenRun świetnie się sprawdzają tak, gdzie nie chce się odcinać od dźwięków otoczenia. Jest to ich główna zaleta i wada zarazem, gdyż próba korzystania z nich w hałasie raczej jest skazana na porażkę. Tak więc doskonale nadają się do biegania (raczej po lesie niż w centrum miasta), na rower, ale już na przykład w siłowni zupełnie się nie sprawdzają - tu lepszym wyborem są słuchawki z aktywnym tłumieniem hałasu. Jeśli chodzi o jakość dźwięku to doskonale sobie radzą z tonami średnimi i wysokimi jednak w przypadku basów jest słabo (no ale to wynika z ich sposobu działania). Świetnie więc nadają się np. do słuchania audiobook'ów czy prowadzenia rozmów telefonicznych, ale już do słuchania muzyki nie są najlepszym wyborem. Połączenia telefoniczne są bardzo czyste i dobrze odszumiane. Należy również oddać, że są bardzo komfortowe i w zasadzie można je nosić cały dzień wręcz o nich zapominając. Finalnie fajny produkt, ale dla osób które kupują je ze świadomości co biorą. -1 gwiazdka za zastosowanie dziwnego magnetycznego złącza do ich ładowania zamiast standardowego USB-C (kolejny kabelek do ładowania, o którym trzeba pamiętać -_-' ).

I ordered these after trying an off brand on Amazon. The off brand was adequate but had a lot of sound bleed. When I received my first pair of Shokz Open Runs they were AWESOME. extremely light, flexible, comfortable, I could wear all day without a headache, sounded great, and battery lasted ALL DAY!!! These were my go to headset for about two months. One day they bugged out and started triggering my hands free assistant. After charging them overnight, as I usually do, they were unresponsive. The warranty claim was easy to initiate but was overall slower than expected turn around time. About fourish weeks from starting a claim to receiving a new headset. Still, receiving a new headset was a plus. Used my replacement headset for about two weeks and the very same thing happened again. Called the warranty number and talked to a real person in Texas. I explained and he asked me how long I charge the unit for. I responded overnight. He said thats probably why they keep shorting out.... What? Its 2023. I havent had to time how long I charge something since I was a child and bought my toys at Radio Shack back in 1980. He told me it takes 2-3 hours to charge completely. Anything more may damage the battery. I asked is there no battery overcharge protection built into a $130 pair of headphones and he said no. Seriously good customer service experience overall but the product itself is lacking in durability. I don't have the time or brain power to remember to take a pair of headphones off the charger before they get damaged. After going over the included instructions, I can find no mention of charging times, however I do see operating temperatures and environments appropriate to its use. As seen in the photo, it states 32°-113°F. I work outside, in hot muggy Missouri,I sweat, profusely. I guess if you plan on sweating, don't use these outside in the summer, or winter, and plan your day around babysitting the charging of your headset, these might be the headset for you. I am returning mine for a refund. I hate giving low star rating. However no amount of customer service or usability can out weigh durability and an obvious flaw. I have hafld dozens of BT headsets from $-$$$. All of which have lasted years, charging overnight or longer. Please fix this issue and I would repurchase and give 6 stars if I could. UPDATE About two days after i emailed the company for an exchange (the refund window closed at 45 days) i was emailed a return lable. Less than a week after I made the phone call mentioned above, I received a replacement (and then some) in the mail. The product may have an issue but the 100% customers experience really does make up for the inconvenience. Keep innovative and refining your product, keep your A+ customer service, and you will dominate the wireless sound market.

The Shokz Open Runs use bone conduction technology that lets you listen to music, while still being aware of your surroundings. Note that if you are looking for a pair of earbuds that have excellent noise cancelling (these have none at all) or good sound quality, this is NOT where you should be looking. These are designed specifically for people who want to be aware of their surroundings while they are running or cycling. I decided to buy these because I was tired of having my earbuds fall out of my ears while I'm running, and also felt like it was not very safe running around and not being able to hear your surroundings at all. I don't find them very good for the gym, since they have a wrap around band on the back, so they will get in the way if you do any exercise where your head is resting against a bench (also gyms typically like to play extremely loud music, so you probably won't be able to hear anything). As a runner, these are great. They stay in firmly place (even with lots of rain and sweat), are very comfortable (wore it for a long 2-3 hour run with no problems), and you will be able to hear everything around you, which is pretty important if you train near roads where there are a lot of cars and other people. The bluetooth range is perfectly good, I pair it up with my Garmin 255 and I have had no issues with dropouts (I have noticed that a lot of cheaper bluetooth headphones often drop out while you are running). The only downside is that the audio quality is OK at best, and they perform pretty averagely once you turn up the volume. That being said, audio quality is not what I'm looking for in a pair of earbuds specifically made for running. Definitely a must have if you are a runner or cyclist. If you are using it for anything else, I would look elsewhere.

Perfect!
