OpenRun Bone Conduction Headphones, Open-Ear Bluetooth Sports Earphones with Mic, IP67 Waterproof Wireless Headset for Running and Workout, 8H Playtime, USB-C - Black, Sport headband

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.

Very light. Great pairing any various devices. Sound is great but cannot be used in the loud environment. Great for running. Very comfortable to wear. Size is universal and back wire rests on your neck. Straightforward manual.

I bought these for my wife, who develops ear infections when using earbud-style headphones. In spite of the fact that the speaker is not over your ear, they produce a great, clear sound (although they will never reach the quality of over-ear phones or good buds). They are comfortable and light. I have used them when I want to be aware of my surroundings and not be audibly isolated, and for that, they are superb. If I were a regular cyclist or runner, these would be my first choice. I would strongly recommend getting a case to keep them in, they would not survive long thrown into a backpack or bag!

Great device - sound quality is good but a bit lacking in bass - which I expected. Great for running outdoors whilst maintaining situational awareness - also the same in the office. One niggle is they do not auto power off so you can accidently take them off and leave them in standby and they go flat after a few days. I would recommend them - see if you can get them on sale.

Very impressive bit of kit. First very light and fit easily. Thought they would fall off while running but no issues at all. Sound very good quality. Even when listening to rock I could hear everything around me. Charging very easy. Buttons bit fiddly but now got use to them. Made to wear even in the rain! But not tried that …

Brilliant! I’ve had these now for 3 months and use them at least 4 times a week in the gym for over an hour and only charge once a week through habit. Very good streriophonic sound. Loud even though they are not in your ears! Fab! Worth paying for these than the cheaper lookalikes

I first tried the cheaper (£30-40) bone conduction phones, and was disappointed enough to send them back within an hour of receiving them. Poor fit, poor sound quality and altogether not worth the effort. My friend had told me about the Shokz models, but I was reluctant to spend that much money in the beginning. How glad I am that I did! These phones are excellent - perfect fit, so comfortable I forgot I was wearing them and they weren't even dislodged by quite violent head movements so great for those much younger and fitter than me who actually indulge in workouts, and excellent sound quality, albeit a little lacking in bass as one might expect. Even that can be fixed by wearing earplugs, but that kind of defeats the object I would say! I occasionally operate a telephone switchboard and I think these phones will be perfect for avoiding discomfort from continuous wearing for hours at a time - much better than the headset I used before. A little point my friend told me about - if worn correctly and you turn the volume up high they tickle your ears. Not at all unpleasant, just a bit weird! Conclusion - don't bother with the cheap ones. Go for the Shokz or just use ordinary headsets. Definitely worth the extra £100!

Very happy. Hubby struggles with ear pods so normally wears headphones but they get heavy. These are extremely lightweight and the sound is excellent

Wenn man vorher noch keine Knochenschall Kopfhörer hatte ,dann ist es zuerst etwas ungewohnt. Dadurch, dass die Töne durch Schall übertragen werden ,ist das Gefühl ein anderes. Bei mir hat es einige Minuten gedauert, bis ich mich daran gewöhnt hatte. Super, wenn man Musik beim Laufen oder Radfahren hören möchte. Das Ohr ist frei und man bekommt noch alles mit, was in der Umgebung passiert. Außerdem ist die Bedienung einfach und der Klang sehr gut. Bei meinen In Ear Plugs hatte ich oft das Problem, dass sie beim Joggen aus dem Ohr gefallen sind. Das hat sich jetzt erledigt. Natürlich sind die Kopfhörer nicht günstig,aber die Qualität überzeugt. Wer regelmäßig draußen Sport macht, Radfahrer oder Jogger ist, für den sind die Kopfhörer optimal.

Used once during a 1h run. So far they do exactly what they are meant to do: audio ok - not the best, of corse, but perfect for my podcasts - good material, not too much tight - you forgot to wear them after a while - and they can be washed. Recommended

Excelente producto, sobretodo para la gente que no le amolda los audífonos inalambricos.

J'ai acheté cette casque pour la course à pied et j'étais bien content parce-que ça marche bien avec mon Apple Watch et la qualité de la musique est bien. Même dans le vent, j'entends clairement la musique et c'est aussi très clair quand j'écoute des audiobooks. J'ai commencé aussi d'utiliser pour le vélo à l'intérieur (Zwift). Attention, c'est illégal de porter cette casque à l'extérieur sur un vélo, donc c'est que pour la cyclisme virtuelle ! Je n'ai pas chronométré l'economie de la batterie mais ça dure normalement plus qu'un jour pour moi. Si j'utilise que pour des courses de pieds, ça dure au moins 4 fois. Sur l'aller retour du travail (2h) la batterie est toujours ok après trois jours. Je suis satisfait avec la batterie. Quand on l'allume, il y a un voix qui dise que le niveau de la batterie est "haut, médium ou faible". Ça serait utile d'avoir une indication un peu plus précise, mais deja c'est ok parce-que je la recharge des que j'entends que le niveau est faible. J'ai pris la version avec la cable pour recharger. C'est juste plus facile de trouver une cable USB C si jamais je perd la cable d'origine. J'utilise la casque même pour des réunions au travail car c'est plus confortable de porter cette casque que ma Bose QuietConfort quand je porte des lunettes. Mais en dehors la course à pied, je trouve que cette casque est la plus utile dans les transports en commun. Je ne peux pas porter des écouteurs bluetooths dans des transports parce-qu'ils tombent de mes oreilles trop souvent. Avec cette casque Shokz, c'est pas du tout un problème. La casque va jamais tomber de mes oreilles et c'est très difficile à perdre dans les transports si je la porte pendant mon trajet. En plus de cela, je peux aussi entendre assez autour de moi. C'est surtout cette sentiment de sécurité que j'apprécie. Quand il y a des musiciens qui gênent sur des trains, j'utilise simplement des bouchons d'oreilles (Loop Quiet2) pour bloquer un peu le bruit. Ma seule critique est que la longueur de la partie autour du cou est un peu trop pour avoir la facilité de reposer ma tete sur un coussin ou le dos de mon canapé. La longueur du tour du cou provoque la poussée du casque vers l'avant, ce qui provoque une pression autour de mes oreilles. J'aurais peut-etre préfère la version courte, mais je ne suis pas sur si il y a des inconvénients pour la version courte quand j'aurai faire le cours à pied. Pour moi, cette casque est plus pour quand je bouge beaucoup ou quand il y a une risque de chute pour des écouteurs bluetooths. Quand je me repose, je préfère des écouteurs. Avantagés: - Moins susceptible de tomber pendant qu'on bouge ou faire des sports. - Qualificatif sonore est assez bien pour la liberté de mouvement que la casque donne. - Qualité de son bien pour la musique et des audiobooks. - Économie de batterie assez bonne. - Meme cette version OpenRun vient avec une pochette pour eviter la poussière quand c'est dans mon sac. Inconvénients: - Tour du cou de la version standard est assez longue et gêne si je repose ma tête contre un coussin. - Le niveau de la batterie est assez ambiguë "haut, medium, faible". - La qualité sonore n'est pas aussi haute que une casque comme Bose QuietComfort ou des AirPods Pro.

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.
