SHOKZ OpenRun Pro - Open-Ear Bluetooth Bone Conduction Sport Headphones - Sweat Resistant Wireless Earphones for Workouts and Running with Premium Deep Base - Built-in Mic, with Hair Band

Theyre fine enough, for the price tag I would have expected a lot more! Dont think Ill do this again.

Etwas kritisch war ich, als ich die Kopfhörer bestellt habe. Hatte mir nicht all zuviel versprochen und wurde positiv überrascht. Als Kopfhörer beim Fahrradfahren oder bei der Hausarbeit , Daumen hoch. Natürlich ist es kein HIFI Sound, aber ich hatte schon schlechtere inEar . Schön ist, das das Ohr frei bleibt. Somit ein sehr angenehmes Tragegefühl. Einen ganz leichten Druck verspürt man, ebenso wie ein leichtes vibrieren, aber alles im Rahmen.

I am a self professed tech addict, constantly searching for THE perfect this or that (phone, headphones, computer, reMarkable etc.) I have owned headphones since the yellow Sony waterproof Walkmans back in 1984. Lately I have had every high end brand of in-ear wireless headphones you can think of, never quite fitting my ears correctly. I have purchased additional ear hooks, subsequent models, brands from Sony, Bose, Dr. Dre and of course 3 sets of AirPods and AirPods pros.......I just received these Shokz about 1.5 hours ago, paired them, then walked the dog while listening to music, took a phone call and so on.......these are THE BEST feeling/fitting headphones I have ever had.....im pitching about $500 of those others tonight......way to go bone conduction tech!

FAST FACTS:

I am genuinely surprised at just how good these headphones are. Although I hoped they would be for the money I the sound reproduction is very impressive, especially considering theyre not even on or in your ears.

I got this to replace an Aeropex, which couldnt be repaired, paying extra for OpenRunner because of the hype about the better sound, particularly the bass.

Endlich funktionieren die Kopfhörer mal so, wie man das will; Anwendung einfach spitze und ich weiß wovon ich spreche.. meine alten funktionieren nur, wenn ich sie wegpacken will, aber diese hier sind endlich mal gut !!!!

I have no issues with calls/meetings etc. However, if I try to play music through any app on my Samsung Note 20, it works fine until I connect this via Bluetooth. I have no issues playing over speaker or with other Bluetooth devices. However, when using this via Bluetooth, it skips madly every 5-10 seconds. Ive tried to live with it, but I have finally decided Im sick of it. I absolutely love the concept of Shokz, but ultimately, I paid a handsome price for a glorified, meetings-only headset.

While wearing it I found the the physical vibrating of my scull around the ear really unpleasant. Ok, maybe I am not the average but I am of the same species so assume I am not alone. I returned it because the popping vibrations continued for 2 hours after wearing for a short time; it was clear I was not going to get used to this. Got similar pair now that don’t use bone vibration, just sit near the ear so no pressure build up which I experience from buds either

So I would buy another brand for the price theyre OK not loud at all which I guess is acceptable unless you want to jam out. You cant even answer calls with the headphones which is trash I would go elsewhere. Early returning them I dont understand how this item has so many stars.
