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

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.

Cant Hear
Sync easy and arent very uncomfortable but I could not hear anything I was playing over outdoor sounds in a construction environment.

5th pair I’ve bought since AfterShokx were introduced.
They are the only type I’m interested in using on my bike; I can hear calls and notices easily, and I can hear every sound around me on the road. I used to listen to music or podcast on my 2-hour total commute, and it was, great but now I appreciate the sounds around me and, but I can easily answer and close phone calls without getting my phone out. I upgraded the first 2, broke 1, and lost one pair. No other brand compares.

Openrun pro 2
Absolutely disappointed in these. Barely hear anything. I had the open air which was cheaper and they sounded better and was super loud. These suck.

Best headphones for sensitive ears!
For years I’ve been looking for comfortable ear buds or headphones. Due to having Bell’s palsy some years ago. This has been the most awesome solution! I can finally have sound in my ears all day without aching at end of day. So light you barely know they’re there! I’m a fan for life.

Nice but not for gaming
I bought these because I didnt want headphones squeezing my head for hours or earbuds in my ears all day. They work well but I was hoping they would be great for gaming using Discord. They are not. Im not concerned with sound quality but my fellow gamers have a hard time hearing me through these so these are definitely not for gaming.

Not as good as my
Not as good as my first pair I had. Volume not as good. No low end.

Great stuff
Works great for running and just wearing around the house if you want to listen to something. No complaints about mic quality so far either.
From Shokz
Good but not great
Great sound quality, but if you're looking to use them for Phone calls and zoom meetings the mic is only average at best.

Satisfied customer
These were for my husband, he had an older pair that broke and is enjoying the new design. These are not for everyone but he really enjoys them. I would definitely recommend.
