I need the mini. I used the tape measure and it came out regular but I'm sure the mini would be more comfortable when laying down
From Shokz
Comfortable for running
Wishes for the future - adjustable back, a carry case that has the capacity to also act as the charger, more intuitive buttons/controls

Won't power on
I think I got a refurbished pair or something. The power button wont turn the headphones on. Ive tried many times since I got them. I will return or exchange.

Great improvements from previous designs
I’ve had mine for over a year and use them every day at work because of the multipoint pairing capability (work and personal phones). I work in a manufacturing environment, and yes, as some have pointed out, loud noises can and will drown out calls, music, etc. But that’s the price you pay for an open-ear design. There’s no free lunch. You can’t have an open-ear design that allows you to be more situationally aware while also expecting it to block out those same environmental noises for clearer...

Good, but…
These headphones are comfortable and stay put on runs. However, the bass quality and volume capability doesn’t come close to my AirPod Pros. I understand the design is different, but the sound quality is disappointing. You can increase the volume and bass in the Shokz app, but only one at a time. You cannot increase volume and bass at the same time, which is strange and annoying. Another con is that the battery doesn’t last that long. After one long run, the battery is low and I have to charge t...

Shokz are Awesome!
I love my Shokz. I actually owe 4 pairs of them and have gifted 5 pairs as well. I like the open ear listening, you don't even realize they are on, very comfortable. Only "con" is that you cannot voice activate it to place a call.
From Shokz
I I don't even know why I tried anything else.
The sound comes out clear, so light & comfortable you forget you're wearing it & love the fact that I can still hear my surroundings.

Ear candy
I just got back from a bike ride, one of the reasons I got these. No issues or problems with wind noise. Music sounded great. Controls easy to manage even with helmet straps over the headset. Did not try a phone call, but successfully dictated a text message while riding. I occassionally wonder if the mini would have made sense, when I'm in a chair or sofa with high back...the back of the headset bumps the headrest in the seat. More of a minor annoyance than a problem.

Very Satisfied and Impressed!
I work in construction and my jobsite only allows bone conduction headphones so I got these. What I like about these is that it has drivers which are basically speakers pointed to your ears without actually being in them and the option to use the “classic” mode which is fully bone conduction. There is a difference in sound quality switching between the modes but that’s expected. Either way I haven’t had a problem hearing my music with this in loud environments with heavy machinery running and ev...

Power button
I wish they locate the power button. Somewhere else separate from the volume Button because, over time, that's the main button that will wear out and not work. But the product is fantastic. That is just the only issue. The power button. There is a blank space. They can relocate the power button on the headphones by the right ear like play and pause button customer servers works fast, so that's a good plus

Orange Shokz
These Shokz OpenRun 2 sound GREAT! I wish I had the resources to buy some for all of my ears bud friends that look kind squirrely with their "White" ear buds. I can not tell i am wearing them, I usually forget.
