Great audio quality. Very comfortable. I like the mini size, it fits well and it comfortable enough to wear all day long. Has a long battery life & charges quickly. I use it for walking & working out & just general use all day long. I like that you can still hear other sounds around you so they are very safe to use. I bought them to use at shotgun competitions with my custom molded ear plugs. Now I wear them every day! Previously I used custom molded earplugs with sound but they were expensive & didn’t work as well as these.

Produto bom para quem precisa ouvir música sem perder o que está acontecendo ao redor. Os headphones de um modo geral deixa a pessoa meio fora de órbita porque não se ouve nada o que se passa no mundo, bem diferente com esse produto. A qualidade do som não me parece muito boa em relação aos headphones convencionais, mas vale a pena

I’m actually on my second pair of these after somehow losing my first pair. I love them! I had been looking for a good set of phones for the gym. I don’t like ear buds (or anything that goes in my ear) and the over the ear headphones just never were secure enough. Enter these little guys. They’re perfect. The sound clarity is excellent, but they don’t completely block out all external sounds. And even though they don’t cover your ears, external noise isn’t as distracting as you might think.
The fit is wonderful. The bar goes behind your head and the ear pieces go over your ear while the ‘receivers’ press against your jaw bone. While that might sound a bit weird, they’re actually very comfortable. And the sound quality is great. Be warned that if you listen to loud music with much bass, the buds will vibrate and for me, it’s an odd tickle. Other than that, music sounds great. Phone use is seamless. Incoming and outgoing calls route through the headset and the sound quality is excellent. These are a great option for someone who wants a quality, comfortable, multipurpose headset.

Todo súper bien, llego a tiempo, la caja en buen estado. Me encantaron porque están muy bien para correr ya que escuchas el exterior, no se mueven nada, dura la pila 8 horas.
One of the best body scrub for daily basis. Protected my skin from dryness and gives it a glow. Thank you.✨✨✨ –
Light weight on the head, easy to workout with. Thank you.

This is what I was looking for!! I cannot stand anything inside my ears and these are really perfect.
Of course, the audio quality for music is not comparable with earplugs but it is very pleasant. Most importantly for me talking to the phone is very natural, finally, I don’ t feel talking into a box like for the earplug. I can now talk and interact with the external, i can now wear it for hours with no discomfort. it connects with no problem to my iphone, battery last days and it charge very very fast. my iphone is also give a % battery when is connected so you are always informed. the conviniece to put it in the pocket is not there anymore but you can easily put it on your head, neck or in the bag. Great product. I am happy i lost these stupid apple airplugs, always on the floor what’s a pain

I recently lost my Shokz Openrun minis while on vacation, so thought I would try a high end Open Ear alternative with directional acoustics as a replacement. While the open ear buds were high quality and highly reviewed, within a few hours using them I realized how superior the Shokz had been, compared to the open ear. The Shokz are far more comfortable, light weight and well fitting; I forgot I had them on. The sound clarity is exceptional in comparison. They are easy to operate with minimal buttons on clean lines, and hold a charge for at least 10 hours. I had not ever run the battery down completely. They are a better design then any other in-ear or open-ear headphones that I have used. They totally hit the sweet spot for comfort, ease-of-use, and sound quality. I have now bought new Shokz Mini to replace the lost ones and will be more careful not to lose them in the future.

I had no idea that bone conduction speakers would work this well!
I have a solo outside job, and I love to have something to listen to (tunes, audiobooks, podcasts, etc.). I’ve tried a dozen different types of earbuds over the years; none have fit me well (but my adult kids love getting them”hand-me-downs” of my failed experiments). Headphones work great for me – I’m fond of Soundcore’s line of noise-cancelling cans – but become a hot sweaty mess when it gets hot. Further, I’m an avid cyclist, and I’m loath to lose audio clues of traffic.
The solution to all of these (admittedly first-world) woes is these Shokz headphones! Completely open ear, nice fit on the temples, sit firmly on my head but so comfortable that I can wear them for hours. I’d give the sound quality a solid B grade; I’m also a musician (not great, but enthusiastic), and while these will never be confused for studio reference cans, they’re more than good enough for daily activities.
I’ve only had these for a week, and I’ve not yet confirmed battery life – but they’ve outlasted my activities so far. One minor issue is that they use a proprietary (as far as I know) USB charging cord; the plug appears to be water-resistant (unlike USB-C, let’s say), but I’d love to have the option to charge in my truck and in my shop.
Comes with a nice little drawstring bag, too.
I’ll update after I’ve used them for a while, but my first impression is VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I originally had the Trekz unit (which is still working perfectly after many years of use), I love it and I was excited to finally see a nice design update, especially with the option to have a shorter frame, which was something that annoyed me on the Trekz.
I did have a power problem on the OpenRun after 8 months of use and I can honestly say I have never experienced such a good customer support ever!!!… I had a reply within 2 days and my problem was fixed quasi immediately. This is of immense value for me and the clear effort from the brand to put out a great product and a great brand experience compels me to take the time to write this extensive review as a shout out for the Shokz team, so below is what I want to say about the product itself (and I know it’s gonna sound like a paid review but it’s not… 🙂 )
Things I can’t stand with earbuds in general are:
1- the lack of comfort induced by having the bud in the ear for an extended period of time
2- poor battery times and poor sound quality due to the earbud size format
2- How cumbersome the charge case is in a pocket and the need to carry it all the time for the times when the buds need to be removed
The Shokz address all these issues because their architecture give them a little more volume to embark higher capacity batteries and better speakers. They can be used so comfortably for hours and whenever somebody talks to me, I can quickly drop the buds on my neck, which generally a very convenient way to carry them around, without being bulky and cumbersome like headphones.
I want to say that they offer more awareness of the environment from not obstructing the ear canal but the sound can be so full (at least the way I use them 🙂 ), that they can just as easily prevent hearing sounds from the outside. Still what is for sure is that it’s gotta be healthier to use bone conduction than shoving a foreign object in the ear canal all the time, especially with the effects of noise cancellation.
Next improvements that I look forward to from the Shokz team:
1- a longer charging cable, especially as they use a proprietary magnetic connector that you can’t easily replace with another cable (I mean, seriously guys, what were you thinking with a cord that short….).
2- an even more discreet frame, I’m thinking transparent plastic here…
I hope this review will be helpful
