Title: Amazing Customer Service, great product, needs a tweek for perfect
Review: 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.UPDATEAbout 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.

Title: Best form of listening without discomfort!
Review: Although buying anything can be hit or miss most times these headphones are excellent. This pair has lasted me 2.5 yrs. so far. That says alot because I demand alot from them. I work in a very hot building in the summer and these get covered in sweat. I love the fact that they don’t go inside your ears. I can hear everything and carry on conversations while listening to music as well. Excellent features include pause,play,skip buttons as well as phone answering and hanging up. Love love love this product.

Title: Great fit
Review: 2nd pair only because I misplace mine in my home and always use these. Now I have 2 for easy access. I love the weight of these, light, comfortable over my ears, nice fit, and easy to hear sound around me while I’m listening to something on my phone when I’m taking a walk or bike ride. The charge lasts quite long. Several of my friends have tried mine and threw out their old “in the ear” style earphones. Now they use these, too.

Title: An Audiophile’s Perspective On Sound Quality
Review: There are some very obvious advantages to this technology over traditional headphones.You don’t lose your situational awareness because your ears remain uncovered, you aren’t sticking potentially filthy things into your ears, the design means you are less likely to lose them or have them fall out while you are exercising, they are much more compact than a set of over-the-ear headphones, they don’t interfere with glasses, they are sweat and rainproof, etc. It is not hard to come up with a lot of scenarios where these are really the ideal headphone design.But the one issue people kept complaining about in the reviews I read before buying these was sound quality. Some people said these headphones are really only good enough for audiobooks, others said they happily listen to music on them regularly without issue. Which is it?I ran these things through my very demanding “speaker stress test” playlist and here are my results: The mids are generally ok, reasonably crisp. The highs are also reasonably well defined. Nothing that made me swoon with delight, but it was all perfectly serviceable for going on a run. Honestly, I assumed they would sound tinny and awful throughout the entire range, so I was pleasantly surprised at how well they handled vocals, guitar, strings, piano, horns etc.But lots of music also has bass notes, and this is where the sound signature just kind of falls apart. If you are already familiar with how the bass rolls off too early on a cheap stereo, this is very much like that. Except that the bass roll off point is at an even higher frequency than you expect. I don’t know how low these can go, but basically they have almost no bass response, and what little they have is muddy and generally quite poor.Now that I understand what these can do and what they can’t, it’s pretty easy to understand why the sound quality reviews are all over the map. Basically, people have varying musical tastes and affinity for bass. If you are listening almost exclusively to hip-hop these are going to seem essentially unusable. If you listen to a violin concerto you will be fairly happy. Rock songs will have the vocals and guitar, but only the top half the drums rendered correctly.Importantly, they also can’t get terribly loud without vibrating against the side of your head in a weird, annoying way. I could generally find a comfortable volume where this wasn’t an issue, but you will not be drowning out any ambient noise with these, particularly since your ears remain uncovered. So you really can’t use these in any sort of loud environment without earplugs And if you are putting in ear plugs, you might as well use in-ear headphones instead. Walking around on a normal, urban street with these is generally fine, but anything louder than that and you may have some issues with these.I did listen to an audiobook on these and thought they did a great job, and they were reasonably comfortable to wear for well over an hour. So probably their ideal use is listening to a podcast or audiobook while walking in a quiet park, or anywhere where you must maintain situational awareness.I think that means these are fine for what they are, and if you need the considerable advantages they have, you live with the trade offs. Yes, it is possible to listen to music on them, and at least some music actually sounds reasonably decent on them, particularly if you are in a quiet place. But if you don’t need the various advantages they have, then get yourself some regular, full-range headphones that will provide a much better bass response than these.I am certainly not going to hang up my $300 planar magnetic headphones in favor of these when listening at home. But for listening to an audiobook while walking the dog, commuting and riding my bike, they will be fine.

Review: Pour l’avoir essayé en footing ou j’entend la musique malgré le vent et à la salle de sport. Super content, les oreilles dégagée et confortable. Cette technologie de vibrations par les os est vraiment surprenante.

Review: Ich habe die Kopfhörer hauptsächlich zum Sport gekauft und so bewerte ich diese. Ich hab diese etwa eine Woche getestet.Nach dem durchlesen einiger Bewertung war ich skeptisch gegenüber den Soundqualität – hier kann ich aber nur wiedersprechen. Man hört die Musik einfach anders als bei gewöhnlichen Kopfhörern, deswegen kann ich nicht sagen dass dies in allem schlechter als bei herkömmlichen wäre – besser ist es aber auch nicht in allen Punkten.Tonqualität 4/5Für mich hört sich der Sound ein bisschen so an, als würde im Raum ein sehr guter Lautsprecher stehen aber vor meinen Ohren hängt ein Tuch. Sprich der Sound gibt die Musik als Ganzes wieder wirkt aber auch leicht dumpf. Gleichzeitig nehme ich den Sound anders wahr, ein bisschen als hätte ich ein Implantat und der Ton wird “an den Ohren vorbei” wahrgenommen – das aber im besten Sinne ohne komisch zu sein. Bass ist da, wird aber mit zunehmender Lautstärke immer weiter ab. Der Bass ist weit weg davon als “satt” beschrieben werden zu können, aber für meinen Geschmack ist genug da um auch bei Hip-Hop oder elektronischer Musik den Beat zu unterstreichen. Wer es aber braucht, dass die Ohrläppchen vibrieren, hat hier vermutlich weniger Spaß. Von kristallklaren Höhen kann man leider auch nicht sprechen. In großem ist für mich der Sound also gut und für den Zweck – Sport völlig ausreichend.Ein großer Vorteil für mich: dadurch, dass der Sound eher “von innen” kommt wird dieser auch nicht durch Geräusche von außerhalb verfälscht. Auch beim Joggen oder Fahrradfahren gibt es keine Störgeräusche durch Wind, Kabel oder andere Stöße.Sehr angenehm ist es die Umgebung komplett wahrnehmen zu können und trotzdem Musik zu hören. Ein bisschen als würde ich einen Ghettoblaster dabei haben ohne meine Umwelt zu stören.Komfort 5/5Die Bluetooth Verbindung ist sehr schnell hergestellt, bei Android und Windows ohne Probleme. Die Übertragung ist auch bei mehreren Metern (Räumen) bis zum Abspielgerät kein Problem.Starker Regen hat das Musik-hören kein bisschen eingeschränkt. Aufladen funktioniert einfach, USB-C wäre mir lieber gewesen. Der Hörer ist so leicht, dass er auch nach langem tragen nicht auffällt – Druckgefühl in oder auf den Ohren wie bei gewöhnlichen Hörern gibt es nicht.Die Akkulaufzeit scheint okay, ich hatte bisher keine Probleme.Wenn ich die Lautstärke hoch stelle, merke ich insbesondere bei Bässen ein vibrieren. Eigentlich kaum verwunderlich, da man sich ja faktisch eine kleine Membran an die Schläfe hält. Für mich ist das aber kein Problem, das gibt der Musik sogar etwas physischen Nachdruck 😉 Dann können die Ohrläppchen also doch vibrieren! [so stark ist es nicht]Design 4/5Dass diese Kopfhörer eher aus sehen wie große Hörgeräte ist zwar etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, ansonsten finde ich die Optik ansprechend. Sicher könnten die dickeren Elemente etwas filigraner ausgearbeitet werden. Jetzt sieht man, dass die Technik halt einfach irgendwo hin musste – dann machen wir da einfach ein kleines Kästchen wo es am wenigsten stört hin. Ich bin sicher, mit etwas Mühe wäre einem da etwas eleganteres eingefallen.Die rote Farbe ist in echt etwas dezenter als auf den Fotos, was ich sehr angenehm finde. Die Farbe erinnert mich an britisches Baked Cherry.Preis-Leistungsverhältnis 4/5Ich finde die Kopfhörer im ganzen etwas teuer, besonders wenn ich sie mit gewöhnlichen versuche zu vergleichen. Zur Wahrheit gehört aber, dass der Shokz ein spezielles Sport-hör-gerät ist bei dem mir bisher keine bessere Alternative untergekommen ist. Die positiven Eigenschaften die Knochenhörer speziell machen bekomme ich woanders nicht. Und wenn ich das nächste Mal neue Laufschuhe suche, dann schaue ich ja auch nicht zuerst auf den Preis.Ich bin sehr zufrieden und kann guten Gewissens eine Empfehlung geben!

Review: 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 -_-‘ ).

Review: 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.
