I like to be in group calls while I work and these headphones have been awful. The mic will not pick me up if there is ANY sound coming from the headphones so if someone talks or I try to listen to music in the background I will not be heard. The audio quality is fine, its bone conducting.

A Sanity Saver for Me
I bought the original Shokz when they came out so I could listen to my work radio (firefighter) while I worked out. Fast forward to a few years ago when i lost hearing in one ear. As a music lover the Shokz allowed me to continue hearing music clearly and maintain my sanity. I was so excited to upgrade to the latest design and have not been disappointed. The clarity throughout the frequency range and comfort are incredible.

amazing
i got these for getting into a flow state because they vibrate in classic mode the cranial nerves and the vagus nerve with a 528hz allows for more capacity to focus. and it works great i really enjoy putting them on for 10 minutes and getting my nervous system to shift to a more coherent state.

Open Run PRO 2
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.
