SHOKZ OpenRun Bone Conduction Sports headphones, IP67 Waterproof bluetooth earphones for running, work out(Black)

I’ve been using the SHOKZ OpenRun headphones for a couple of months and I love them. The sound great and they’re super comfortable - the only thing I would like is for the band to be a little smaller and fit more snugly to the back of my head. However once positioned they stay in place and you forget your wearing headphones. The open-ear design is great as you can hear traffic and still have conversations with people around me, which feels much safer. Battery life is good - only had to charge 3 times, use them for around 30-40 minutes a day. Call quality is clear, i have had people say they struggle to hear me though. They are great if you’re active and want to stay aware of your surroundings.

I’ve been using the SHOKZ OpenRun headphones every workday for the past ten months, mainly for business calls, and I can confidently say they’ve exceeded expectations. What initially drew me in was the open-ear design, which has changed how I work and move through the day. No more ear irritation, no discomfort from having something stuck in my ear for hours. A lightweight, secure fit that I often forget I’m even wearing. Despite their simplicity, they never slip out of place. The sound quality is solid, especially when you consider the bone conduction technology. It’s not meant for rich bass or ultra-precise clarity, so if you’re an audiophile or music producer, this might not be for you. But for calls, podcasts, or background music, it does the job very well. There’s a bit of sound leakage at higher volumes, but honestly, the vibration becomes uncomfortable at that point anyway. It naturally keeps you within a comfortable listening range. The mic has been perfectly reliable. I tend to double-check how I sound on calls, and the feedback has always been positive. It pairs effortlessly with Microsoft Teams and connects to both my laptop and phone. I've never had an issue switching between devices, which is something I can’t say for most Bluetooth gear. I haven’t tested it extensively in heavy weather, but in day-to-day use, even in busy or noisy environments, I’ve never struggled to hear or be heard. Over weekends, I’ve used it on runs and even for the occasional gaming session. I’m no competitive gamer, but for casual play like Skyrim: Oblivion, it performed surprisingly well with no noticeable lag. One unexpected bonus is being able to game or watch something on my computer while still hearing my kids if they call from their rooms: a huge win if you're a parent trying to balance things. Battery life has never been an issue. I’ve never drained it in a day, and although I’m not sure how long it takes to fully charge, the USB-C connection is solid and hassle-free. The headphones still look and function like new after months of use, though I do store them carefully in their soft pouch inside my laptop bag. They’ve held their shape well, but I wouldn’t toss them around carelessly. All in all, this is a quality product with a smart, no-fuss design that works across multiple aspects of daily life. It might not look like much, but if you need comfort, situational awareness, and dependable performance, this one’s a keeper.

The Shokz OpenRun headphones are a top choice for runners, cyclists and walkers thanks to their open-ear bone conduction design, which allows you to hear your surroundings while enjoying music or podcasts. They’re lightweight, water-resistant, and offer up to 8 hours of battery life with quick charging. Sound quality is good for spoken word and mid-range tones, but bass is limited. They’re comfortable and secure, but volume can be too low in noisy environments. Ideal for outdoor athletes who prioritise safety and comfort over immersive audio.

I bought those for my husband who can't get normal earplugs to fit and they consistently fall. He came across a more premium brand which had higher bass / sound quality and the option to mute calls. I wasn't prepare to pay such a premium so i gave him these model to try. It is more simple but does a great job. Yes for music fanatics, it lacks on bass / sound quality, but overall it is a good alternative. The band is very comfortable (he used them for work all day plus gym), it fit well the ears and easily pairs up with the computer / phone. He use them for all the meetings calls and listen to podcasts and works very well. Gym works out - run / weights / crosstrainers etc - the headphones don't move, you get to still enjoy your music whiles being aware of your surrounding. And if you train yourself to select what you want to hear, the outside gym music / sounds aren't that disturbing. Charging is quick and have been lasting the 8h (he use them non stop). Just one down side is the usb cable don't match the new computers port usb c3, but we had a converter and old plugs around, which works. So overall a good product that fit his immediate needs. In long run, he may go for a better sound / quality model with extra perks, but for now this is a good fit.

Parfait pour la course, tient bien et ne glisse pas. Petit bémol quant à la qualité sonore, qui est propre à n’importe quel casque à conduction osseuse. Qualité du son correcte tout de même. Bonne autonomie de la batterie.

Ich hatte auf komfortable, sichere Kopfhörer fürs Laufen gehofft – die Shokz OpenRun erfüllen diese Erwartung und überzeugen in allen wesentlichen Punkten. Material & Verarbeitung: Die Verarbeitung ist hochwertig. Der Bügel wirkt robust, bleibt dabei flexibel und sitzt sauber am Kopf, ohne zu drücken. Die Oberflächen sind glatt, gleichmäßig beschichtet und machen einen langlebigen Eindruck. Das IP67-Rating ist nachvollziehbar, da alle Übergänge sauber abgedichtet wirken. Auch das mitgelieferte USB-C-Kabel und das Stirnband sind ordentlich verarbeitet. Anwendung & Funktion: Die Kopfhörer lassen sich leicht aufsetzen und sitzen stabil, selbst bei schnellen Bewegungen. Durch die Open-Ear-Bauweise bleiben Umgebungsgeräusche gut wahrnehmbar, was beim Laufen ein Sicherheitsvorteil ist. Der Klang ist für Knochenschall-Technik klar und ausreichend kräftig. Die Steuerung reagiert zuverlässig, und das Mikrofon liefert verständliche Sprachqualität. Die Akkulaufzeit entspricht den Angaben und hält problemlos durch längere Trainingseinheiten. Fazit: Ein durchdachtes, stabiles und funktionales Sport-Headset. Besonders geeignet für Nutzer, die beim Training Wert auf Komfort, sicheren Sitz und offene Ohren legen. Klare Empfehlung – 5 Sterne.

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 -_-' ).

La differenza principale con i classici auricolari (che trasmettono il suono facendo vibrare il timpano all'interno dell'orecchio) é che lavorano direttamente sugli ossicini del vostro orecchio dall'esterno (per quello sono a conduzione ossea), bypassando il timpano. Il vantaggio principale (ed il motivo per il quale ho preso questi rispetto al modello superiore) é che non avete nulla dentro l'orecchio, quindi ad un volume onesto riuscite comunque a sentire la musica e il mondo esterno, cosa a mio avviso basilare se li usate in bici o per andare a correre (vedere gente che cammina per strada con le cuffie a riduzione del rumore mi fa rabbrividire....). Altro vantaggio, non avendo nulla di "aperto" sono molto meno suscettibili a umiditá, pioggia e sudore, e per pulirli basta una passata con un panno in microfibra umido. La qualitá audio é buona, ovviamente perdono un pó ai bassi, ma sono auricolari sportivi, non per audiofili che ascoltano la musica sulla poltrona. Rimaniamo sul discorso sport: corsa, yoga, burpees, bici.... una volta ben posizionati, non si muovono. E' una cosa spettacolare. E sono pure comodissimi, tempo 10 minuti e non ve li sentirete nemmeno piú addosso. Alcuni si lamentano dell'uso con occhiali da sole, personalmente con i miei Oakley radar (ma in genere tutti i modelli con le stanghette dritte - stile m-frame per capirci- che tengono facendo pressione ai lati) non ho avuto nessun problema, basta tenere le stanghette un filo piú alte (tanto la tenuta non la fanno sull'orecchio). Non ho mai usato il microfono, quindi non commento sulla qualitá. Se proprio devo trovare un difetto, avrebbero potuto fare i tasti un pó piú "grezzi", con un paio di guanti anche fini si fanno fatica a sentire, e alla fine li trovate solo grazie alla muscle memory. Non ha porte di caricamento proprietarie: connettore USB-C come praticamente qualsiasi dispositivo elettronico dei giorni nostri, quindi li potete caricare ovunque e con qualunque cosa. Giudizio finale.... oltre le mie aspettative. Veramente ottimi. Venivo da un modello da 40 euro, non ha nulla a che fare con questi, sia come comoditá che qualitá audio. Se li beccate in sconto (attorno ai 100 euro), non ci pensate due volte.

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.
