Shokz OpenRun Wireless Open-Ear Headphones - Blue (2024)

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from Annoying beeping sounds, inaudible outdoors, and uncomfortable wearing for long runs I purchased AfterShockz with high hopes of using the bone conduction technology but the first disappointment came when I tried using the headset outdoors - on a call, I could not hear the other person AT ALL and neither could they! The second disappointment was when the headset decided to start beeping after connecting to my Mac - the annoying beep led me to just not use the headset and I remembered how annoying this was when I asked a friend to try this. He was put off by the beeping sound experience and decided to not go with AfterShockz after this experience. This is unacceptable from a headset at this pricepoint - very very disappointed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Leyton from Don't last long at all These headphones were great for a couple of months. I got my first pair for christmas and used them over winter break. After break was over, they would'nt turn on. Ok, must be dead just charge them right? They would'nt charge at all, plugged them into different outlets different blocks bought a new charging cable. Nothing. Brought them back and got a new pair of a different model. Same thing, only now i haven't fully reached the point where they need to be replaced, they just last for less and less time every week. Used to last all day at school, now they last less than half and i got them a month ago. Very disappointed is an understatement.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bobby L. from These Shokz far exceeded my These Shokz far exceeded my expectations. The sound is awesome, the feel is even better, after about n hour you can barely feel them on. I am able to lay on the couch or bed , lean against the couch with ease, n not wake the wifey. I charged them when i first got them about 3 weeks ago , and i have used them quit a bit , only about n hour each time with the volume at around 1/4 and still going. A plus once you put them on, they do not move. The only CON on these headphones is talking to someone on the phone, witch I don’t think what these are made for. The other person can hear everything , fan , breathing. All and all for TV , Music. Thank you

Rated 3 out of 5 by Monqiue D. from Needs some serious improvement Pros... Comfortable to wearDon't block my ears so I can hear surroundings They don't fall offHas actual buttons that can be felt so no hanging up calls by accident. Cons...Cannot hear well when speaking to people-volume doesn't go loud enough.Everytime the phone dings, instead of hearing the actual sound, it buzzes on your skin. It's quite annoying. Keeps cutting in and out when using my computer Does not last 10 hours as advertised after 2nd charge. I really wish the Bluetooth worked better, battery lasted longer and there were ways to adjust the sounds better so I can hear who I am speaking with. This is crucial to my classes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Charles H. from sound about as good as sound about as good as the pro but cheaper and more waterproof. I use them cycling regularly. For navigation cues they are right there perfectly audible and when there is not talk, they are not in your ears blocking sound or making wind noise. When you crank up the sound, you do lose awareness of all but pretty loud surrounding sounds even though they don't cover your ears. but you can turn them down and enjoy music and still hear what is around you. One dis is that they don't really have usable controls on the headphones so to skip tracks I use a little bluetooth remote, or use hey google, or just have to interact with the phone interface.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Cory G. from Good product, but COULD be GREAT I love the idea of the "open ear" concept! You can DEFINITELY hear what is going on around you. That feature alone, is worth buying a set. But, other people around you CAN HEAR what you are listening to. Whether it be music or a phone call, they can hear!!! If you turn the volume down, you can eliminate this issue. I have bad hearing damage, so I tend to have my headphones/earbuds turned up pretty loud. My wife sitting in the passenger seat can hear my phone calls. Advertisem*nts from manufacturer is misleading. Again, if you turn the volume down, nobody else can hear what you are listening to. Manufacturer claims that "NO, THEY CANNOT HEAR."

Rated 3 out of 5 by Jack S. from Not the best but not the worst either. They don't fit as well as I'd hoped. The are always falling off my ears or the position that they were in too get the best sound. They don't last as long as promised on a full charge. I got them because I needed them specifically for a 6 hour shift at a warehouse. Distance was important since my phone/ music is in one place and I am constantly moving towards or away from where my phone is. They seem to work for the distance that was promised. So, I am happy about that but very disappointed that on a full charge they only last 4.5 - 5 hours. I also wish that the material for the actual headset was a more pliable material so thatt you could shape them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Heather C. from Not Just For Exercise My new OpenRun by Shokz are fantastic! The battery lasts so much longer than my traditional headphones and they don't make my ears all sweaty. I can't stand ear buds in my ears, so I've been using traditional over the ear headphones for indoor exercising and nothing for outdoor activities. Open Run headphones have been a complete game changer and allow me to be aware of my surroundings while enjoying clear audio input. They pair seamlessly with everything: my phone, tablet, Nintendo Switch, computer, etc., so I am using them far more than I expected. They are not just for exercising. I am so glad I bought these! 10/10 would buy again.
