SHOKZ OpenRun Pro 2 Bone Conduction Sports Headphones, Orange

Really impressed with these. I mainly bought them for running as I wanted something that lets me still hear traffic and what’s going on around me, and they’ve been brilliant for that. They’re really comfortable and once I’m running I pretty much forget I’ve got them on. They stay in place really well too, even when I’m sweating or doing a longer run. Sound quality is much better than I expected from open-ear headphones. Obviously you don’t get quite the same bass as having earbuds sealed in your ears, but the sound is still really clear and there’s plenty of volume. Battery life has been excellent so far and they connect to my phone quickly without any messing around. I also really like the orange colour – a bit different without looking ridiculous. Not cheap, but for running I’d definitely buy them again.

This is my second pair of Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 headphones, I loved the first pair so much that when the battery started swelling after about a year of daily use, I immediately replaced them. They’re comfortable, lightweight, and perfect for running or cycling while still being aware of your surroundings. The sound quality is excellent for bone conduction with clear mids and highs, and decent bass for the format. The fit is secure and they stay in place no matter the activity. Battery life on the second pair seems just as good as the first, and charging is quick although I do miss the magnetic charging from my last pair. I also appreciate how easy they are to pair with devices and that the controls are simple and intuitive. Overall, exactly what I expect from Shokz, reliable, high-quality bone conduction headphones that make workouts and everyday use enjoyable. Definitely worth the investment.

What a revelation these are, they're ridiculously comfortable, the battery life is excellent and they sound pretty damn good. They're not going to please bass heads but they have plenty of warmth and body, and the upper mids and treble are more than adequate. They have a natural timbre, and deliver audio far better than I expected. I love how truly open they sound whilst still allowing all your surroundings sounds to come through. No hot ears, no inner ear discomfort, no worry about them falling off, and most of all I can hear what's going on around me loud and clear. They're a solid recommendation if you're an athlete. Cycling and running is so much more enjoyable with these shokz. I usually exercise in my koss kph40 in ears, which also allow plenty of sound in but they're not wireless and the pads deteriorate. Need a great outdoor safety first workout headphone? Look no further, shokz have the answer.

While these headphones are good they are not solely bone conduction so if you're buying these for that if you're hard of hearing, there are likely others better suited to your needs. They do use some bone conduction but mainly for bass, the other sounds are on a tiny speaker aiming towards your ear canal. That being said if I plug my ears I can still hear the music so the conduction is relatively good. Fit is good, I didn't get them for vigorous exercise so cannot confirm how good they are in that regard but for walking my dogs or working in the office with music and still being able to speak to and interact with people I cannot fault them. The fit is comfortable, having a fairly large head there is some snugness unless I was sent the mini version by mistake but they don't hurt to wear for a long period. The sound is very good for music, mainly metal and rock with some synth, picks up the bass and various tones. Phone calls are ok but I've only had one so far and the other person was using an in car hands free so the audio quality on their end was not as good Charging is quick and battery life is surprisingly decent I got a solid 6 hours when I first got them before charging. My one gripe is the volume control, I have it quite low in the office to hear music and people but sometimes I need it louder when it's busy. The next step up is a bit too loud and begins to make it harder to hear people talk to me. I wish the volume was more incremental, it feels like it jumps in blocks of 10%. I can somewhat mitigate this if I adjust the volume using my watch but this is at best a workaround. Really hoping this could be fixed with firmware updates.

A really good product - perfect for running. Battery charges so quick I can charge in 15 mins before I go for a run and it will last for an hour. Sound is really good, mic is good but don’t use it often. Great value for money. My headphones broke after a year (wouldn’t charge) but Shokz are sending a replacement as part of their 2 year warranty.

Quality is great, but this is expected as the price is extremely high. Battery life is fantastic, I used these for comms on a radio system at work and they lasted 12 plus hours and even beyond. However I returned this set as the description and title suggest these are the standard size, but the neck loop is far, far, far too big. At least 8 of my work colleagues have this problem too, so it's not a head/neck size issue. The issue with the huge neck loop is that if you wait to wear a cap, hat, beanie, hoodie and or hooded raincoat the neck loop forces the headset forwards and it just generally feels uncomfortable and hinders performance. Had to return the set and charge for MINI version, which fit great, howevwr I'll he returning 5hose also dye to performance issues which I'll describe in the review of them. Being honest, build great, sound great, very comfy, battery life great.... But at £180 I do not recommend.

Fantastic. I wear these for an 8 hour shift at work (delivery driver), then for a run of at least an hour after my shift, 6 days a week. The battery never runs out, though I charge them up daily. Having great sound quality whilst also letting me be aware of my surroundings is perfect for my circumstances. Also fully waterproof, light and comfortable, and very difficult to lose compared to earbuds.

It was delivered quickly thanks to Amazon Prime delivery (next day). Beautifully packaged. This isn't the first one SHOKZ OpenRun Pro I've had; I still own and using the previous model - and I use it A LOT. I wouldn't be exagerating if I said I easily use it between 4-6 hours every day and night - it's what keeps me sane. I bought the latest model as a back up. In both, they are comfortable to wear; they don't give me headaches or ear ache like over the headphones use to, or those stupid ear pods that fall out and are easy to lose. They connect up quickly with anything that has bluetooth. USB-C Quick Charge - an improvement on the old magnectic charger. Charge lasts 12 hours; that's 2 hours longer than the previous model. The sound quality is brilliant; my music taste is eclectic but mainly hard rock and metal so base is important, and that's pretty good on these. The wee speakers do help with that I think. Audio is smooth and balanced when listening to audiobooks and podcasts. Volume buttons are easy to use, and so is the stop/pause button. Can easily jump forward and backwards when listening to tracks too. I love these B.C.s and couldn't live without them.

I’ve been using it for one year now, honestly, I got addicted to it. People forgot how I used to look without it. Just keep in mind it’s an open ear concept, so don’t expect a crazy bass that blows your head. It’s amazing for the idea, a headphone that will make you smart, being on your phone watching reels but still listening to the gossips your friends are talking, is a skill

Perfect for running, been using them for 2 weeks and will never go back to airpods.

Not for the audiophiles, but for people, who want sound on. the move (cyclists in my case) and want to hear the surrounding traffic, there is not better option. Would definitely buy again.

Son mis primeros audífonos de conduccion osea y me dejan muy buenas sensaciones. Si los comparas con unos in-ear, es cierto que les falta un poco de detalle y volumen, pero considerando que su propósito principal es no aislarte del entorno, cumplen su función de maravilla y mejor de lo que esperaba. Son súper cómodos; después de un rato de uso, casi olvidas que los traes puestos. El ajuste es perfecto: los utilizo para ir al gimnasio, correr y andar en bici con casco, y en ningún momento he sentido que se vayan a caer. Además, la duración de la batería es excelente y el tiempo de recarga es muy rápido (se cargan mediante el cable USB-C que viene incluido)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is not my first pair. And if something happened to these tomorrow, I'd order another pair before the panic attack was over. I'm a caregiver, which means my day doesn't stop because my phone rings. I can't always drop what I'm doing to answer a call, check a text, or stop helping my mom just because somebody wants to talk. These headphones let me stay connected while keeping both hands free and my attention where it needs to be. I've also never had anyone complain that I sounded far away, muffled, or difficult to hear during calls. In fact, people who know me usually ask if I'm hands-free. The answer is always yes. Not because I'm being efficient. Because my hands are always busy doing something other than talking on the phone. When I tell you I use these every single day, I mean every single day. Seven days a week. From the moment I get up until I go to bed, they're either on my head or charging for tomorrow. In fact, I keep two pairs so one is always ready to go. The best part is they're bone-conduction headphones, so they're not shoved in your ears all day. I can still hear what's going on around me, hear my mom call for me, hear the dogs, hear the door, and still take calls, listen to podcasts, audiobooks, or music. Now, if you're looking for complete silence, that's not really the point of these. Unless you put earplugs in, you're still going to hear the world around you. Personally, I consider that a feature, not a bug. If I wanted complete silence, I'd have to start by muting my household, and unfortunately Shokz hasn't figured out how to manufacture that yet. One thing I learned with this purchase is that I probably should have been buying the Mini version all along. I've always bought the regular size, but this time I decided to try the Mini. For me, it fits much better. The regular version always left a larger gap behind my head between the band and my neck. The Mini sits closer, feels more secure, and is just more comfortable for everyday wear. So if you've ever felt like the regular version sits a little too far off the back of your head, don't automatically assume that's just how they're supposed to fit. The Mini might be worth a look. Apparently my head was Mini-sized all along and nobody bothered to tell me. One thing I absolutely love about these newer ones is that they charge with a regular USB-C cable. No hunting for some weird proprietary charger. No digging through a drawer trying to figure out which mystery cord belongs to which device. Just plug them in and move on with life. My first pair was purchased around 2020 or 2021. The only reason I'm replacing one is because it took an unexpected swim in a river. They are water-resistant. They are not "fell in the river and went exploring with the fish" resistant. That one's on me, not Shokz. The other replacement wasn't even for me—I gave it away. I've actually gifted several pairs over the years to people I really like. They're one of my favorite gifts to give because once people try them, they get it. Even the kids have gotten them. Granted, there are days I'm not sure I like the kids all that much, but overall they're still worthy recipients. For right around $200, considering I get years of daily use out of them, the value isn't even a question for me. The battery life is fantastic. The comfort is amazing. The sound quality is excellent. And they've survived years of daily use from someone who treats them less like electronics and more like essential life-support equipment. One small suggestion for Shokz, if anybody from the company happens to be reading reviews. I love the colors. I really do. But for those of us who wear these all day, every day, I'd love to see a skin-tone option. Sometimes I want my headphones to make a statement. Sometimes I want them to disappear. When my hair is pulled back, it would be nice to have a version that blends in a little more instead of announcing itself to the world. Let's be honest. Not everybody needs the entire room to know they're wearing headphones. Sometimes incognito is a good thing. Sometimes you don't want your boss immediately spotting them during a meeting. Sometimes you don't want people assuming you're ignoring them when you're actually listening perfectly well. And sometimes you just don't feel particularly social and would like your headphones to participate in that decision. The colors are great. I'd just love one that quietly minds its own business. Honestly, if I could remember who first recommended Shokz to me, I'd probably kiss them right on the mouth. And I'm not even sure I liked that person. That's how good these are.
