SHOKZ OpenRun Pro - 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
- I’ll start by saying, let’s get one thing out of the way right now. These will not sound as good as dynamic, planar magnetic, multi driver balanced armature nor electrostatic, any of the air moving type of drivers. It just won’t, and to expect that is setting yourself up for failure. These are not designed to take on mid or high end models of those transducer types. You will not get bass deeper than mid low bass, as one would get from say a large diameter dynamic or a planar magnetic. And you won’t get meticulous separation and sparkly highs and resolution. Once again it’s not what these type of headphones are. You won’t get eardrum pounding volume either.However now it might seem like I’m bashing the sound quality, not at all. These sound great for what they are. Especially with vocals, and they do handle highs much better than I imagined. Soundstage and spacial positioning is actually quite surprisingly good. Bass is there, however dont expect rumbling sub bass, If Shox did push for that, it would not be comfortable. Which yes you will feel light thumps and vibrations esp during bass hits. Their volume levels are good but more confined versus other transducer types. Don’t expect volume levels compared to typical headphones. Each person will also have a different experience with these. Every person’s bone design, distance to inner ear, skin thickness, any fat (no offense anyone) inbetween the speaker units and the bone. As well as bone density, and structure will all affect the end sound in some way, for good or bad. It would be impossible for Shox to compensate for all these limitless variables, to provide perfect tunings.These do, so what they are designed for very well, allow music playing without obstructing ambient sound and noise to maintain awareness of one’s surroundings.I mostly bought these to see what bone conduction in a professional build is vs my childhood design of a couple of cellphone vibration motors, taped to my head, and connected to a regular stereo is. Much better lol. Shox did a good design shaping the sound curve of these into a decent, and coherent balance.Battery life so far seems good, projecting based on my volume and songs I’d say 8-10 life is definitely attainable, so I’d say Shox’ 10 runtime statement is true. Havnt ran it down to zero yet. The charger seems fool proof, and it comes with a good case to transport them in. Havnt set up the app yet, so cannot comment .Overall these are great for what they are for, open awareness listening and or assisting hearing difficulties. They offer excellent overall sound quality for their design, but these will not replace a mid to high end dynamic, planar, or electrostat, it isn’t what they’re designed for. Kudos to Shox for bringing a good bone conduction headphone to market, I highly recommend them for those who want music, while keeping ears open to surroundings. As well as for those with issues hearing regular on, over, and in ear headphones, and possibly for hearing loss, however consult a ear doctor before buying and or using to be on the safe side.
- This is an incredible headset. Pairs to my garmin 245m. My first bone conduction headset. I have a big fat head, but i also measured. Got under the cutoff by about half inch. Got the mini? Im surprised how comfortable it is. Battery is decent. I like the magnetic charger. I dont like that its proprietary, but it is so much nicer than having to pry open a usb cover. I havnt used it for phone calls and dont plan on it. I use a diff device for that. The sound is really nice. Dont let some youtube\'s fool you. I can hear audio and music coming from the buds when i take the headset off. Max volume, yes, i can hear it. Running, 2 big things for me. 1) the only time i have a hard time hearing is during lots of windy noise. So bikers, id say, this headset is probably not good for you. 2) its comfy and it doesnt bounce around when i run or sprint. MEASURE to see if a mini will fit you. I think most will appreciate a snugger fit. Buttons do their job. It\'s not difficult to learn. I\'ve tried the TrueFree F1. <--- these are \"air\" conduction. These bounced around alot when i go for easy jogs. However, if i were at home indoors listening to tv or music, i would prefer these over any shokz any day. For almost 1/5th the price, they sound absolutely amazing. On a bad note, for my head the f1\'s were not comfy at all. They hurt that little piece of ear that sits in front of the ear canal. I mean within 3-4 mins it gets uncomfy. The audio clarity vs the 180$ shokz - there is no comparison. Ive ran maybe 80 miles this month with these shokz. They are very comfy, doesnt bounce during runs, audio does what its suppose to, charges pretty quick, really expensive. Dont get these if you are expecting superb pro studio sound quality, its not made for that. Highly recommend if you can afford it.
- Up front, I gave these 2 stars for noise cancellation to be honest, but this is actually 100% working as designed and appreciated in practice.I purchased these after struggling with conventional earbuds with my iPhone for many years. Standard Apple wired earbuds worked, but their durability was poor. I was forced to replace them after only a few months due to flaws related to accumulated earwax and having to insert them physically into my ears. This was not a solution.I use headphones with my iPhone heavily while at work, all day, every day. I am hard on them, and they wear out. I listen to music constantly for my own mental health. I work in an office and the silence and distractions in this environment are not beneficial. I need to listen to audio stimulus constantly, it greatly helps my sanity and productivity. These solve all problems with my use case. I can listen to music and hear people talking to me at the same time.Problems solved with this product:- I don\'t have something physically in my ear which is beneficial from a health standpoint (avoiding outer ear infections.- Not having these in my ear mitigates the ear wax problem.- The battery life is dynamite, literally the full 10 hours as advertised. I charge these at 0% battery for 20 minutes and I get another 2-3 hours on that short charge.- I can easily hear external sounds, such as people talking to me at work, if I lower the volume. This is a massive improvement over in ear buds.- The sound quality takes time to adjust to. You hear deep bass frequency response on your skin for example. But it really is awesome once you mentally adjust.The Shokz iOS app is 100% essential as you can use it to monitor battery life and enable multi-point Bluetooth pairing with up to 2 devices at once. However, you can\'t duplex from 2 devices at the same time (no audio on your phone via Bluetooth and a call on your laptop). To be fair I think this is beyond the specs of Bluetooth at present.Cons: The call button works when advancing tracks and taking calls. But I cannot get reverse/last track to work to save my life.These are worth every penny, if you can relate to my use case, purchase these now, you will not have buyer\'s remorse!However...I don\'t know how their battery life will hold up over time, and battery replacement might be an issue given their construction. Battery life of any product will degrade over time, and that\'s a fact.
