“I have several ear piercings, but I also like to listen to something when I run. These are a great solution. Of course they are also great when not running. I have helix, daith, and conch piercings (other ear), and these headphones don’t bother any of them!”

“I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting into with these, but I love them. Pretty sure they’re made for outdoor running so you can be socially aware, etc. So with that being said, I don’t think the point of them is to be noise cancelling. I wear them most in the gym and I love them. I had found that other types of headphones would either frequently pop out of my ears or simply not fit right. These, you don’t really have to worry about that stuff since it comfortably sits on the outside of your ear. I also sweat more than the average person, which has always been another difficult aspect of headphones for me but, again, I don’t worry about that at all with these. Absolutely recommend them.”

“The product is comfortable, and I can put it on in the morning, go about my day and even forget I have it on. When the phone rings, the device routes the call to my Shokz Openrun and will shift back to my laptop or phone music when the call is done. I am glad I purchased the industry standard and not a cheaper unknown version. It has only been a few days, but I found the battery to last longer than advertised and the audio quality, while not great, is adequate. It works amazingly well at low volume, bringing background music to my day while allowing me to hear things around me.”

“I have loved these runner headphones since July 14th. I’ve used them every day since, they were easy and fun and I think safer because I could hear the world around me.
Then they just stopped charging on July 28. I plug them in and the red charging light goes on and that’s how they remain. They won’t gain any charge. The light won’t turn green. It doesn’t matter if I switch plugs or the USB converter thingy. Nada. Nothin’.
Such a bummer. This was a big purchase for me as a poor mom. “

“I had tried a less expensive pair of runner bone conducting headphones before these. They were too big for my head and just did not work for running. They slipped and didn’t connect enough to get good sound. I was leary of any bone conducting headphones, and didn’t want to spend more money on something that wouldn’t work well. BUT, the shokz are perfect! They fit well.
They are comfortable. They sound great. They are perfect for running. I can listen to my music and still hear what’s going on around me. I’m so happy I gave these a shot!!”

“ I originally got these runner headphones back when they were still AfterShokz in 2017-ish. I recommended them to runners and bikers whenever the question came up. After six years one side finally stopped working so I decided to replace them with this new pair. These have only gotten better! After measuring my head from behind my ears at 9”, I went with the mini. I love the new smaller fit! My only big complaint before was that they were a bit too loose around my head and they’d get a bit bouncy, but now that issue is gone. The sound has also improved a lot since my original pair. They are less tinny and I don’t feel the vibrations as much when the volume is up. It’s still not going to be the BEST sound ever, but it’s pretty darn good for the tech with the trade off of having better situational awareness. I want to be able to hear cars and bikes and other people coming up on me while also having some music or a podcast playing!”

“Let me start by saying I have eczema in my ears. So I can’t comfortably wear regular ear buds. These completely solved that issue! I can now listen comfortably. And honestly in general they are just so much better than regular ear buds! They don’t fall out. You can’t lose one. They still are cord free. You can actually hear around you. AND WATER RESISTANT! Seriously these are game changing and I don’t know why they aren’t bigger than airpods.”

“ I have a pair of AirPod pros that I use as my daily driver. However, I recently ran my first race and almost lost and AirPod as I got super sweaty. It was recommended that I try these out. They are perfect for my needs and sound surprisingly decent. Love that I can still be aware of what’s going on (I use transparency mode on my AirPods when outdoors) and not have to worry about them falling out, I’ve even used them at the pool. They are waterproof but I probably wouldn’t shower with them as the steam can degrade water resistance in any electronic device”

“ This is the third pair I have tried and best so far. I use mainly under motorcycle helmet with earplugs to block out wind noise and listen to music. I have extreme tinnitus from years of riding and working around loud noises so needed something I could listen to while at same time blocking out wind noise. The previous runner bone conduction headphones just weren’t loud enough even sitting in living room. These are way louder and clearer. Still figuring out best way to get helmet on with headphones so they stay but only have had these for a few days. Not perfect but I love ‘em!”

“These are a really great idea. And when they’re holding a charge and not shocking me, they’re great for when I want to listen and yet stay aware of what’s around me. I owned the previous iteration of these headphones and loved them. These, not so much. The good — light weight, small profile, fits better than my old pair, good connectivity distance. The bad — they have shocked me intermittently since I got them which is disturbing and painful, they are slow too respond when my phone activates and messages are often cut off (I’ve switched phones recently and it does seem to be the headphones, not the phone), and call quality has deteriorated from mostly fine to mostly incomprehensible in the short time I’ve owned them. The battery life is fine, not impressive but fine, but the charger is a pain, finicky and proprietary. It would be great to have a charger that was reliably charging when the charge light was on, and even better to have a charger that wasn’t specific to this device. I carry a lot of cords, I don’t need another one to forget. Basically, I’m a long term customer who is really underwhelmed by this version of Shokz.”
These are some real user reviews. Generally speaking, Openrun Mini is still loved by many people, but there are also some problems, such as some users think that the price is too high….
There are many bone conduction headphones in the market, and you can find alternative headphones with high cost performance and good performance, such as Wissonly Hi Runner bone conduction headphone.
Recommended reason:
When Wissonly bone conduction headphones started crowd funding online , I started to pay attention to them. Later, I saw on some online forums that all otologists were recommending them, so I bought it. This Hi Runner is their flagship product, and its overall function is the most perfect. This headphone uses the latest research results of Wissonly Lab. It effectively increases the vibration area of the vibrator by 35%, while optimizing the sound transmission direction, making the sound range wider and the music more spatial. The brand claims to reach the HI-FI sound quality. My own actual test shows that the sound quality is very close to the HI-FI level, but it doesn’t reach this level indeed. Of course, the current sound quality is satisfactory enough.
Wissonly Hi Runner bone conduction headphones are also equipped with a new Bluetooth 5.0 chip, which has stronger anti-interference ability, and can easily cope with various outdoor complex scenes, so as to ensure that the good mood during exercise will not be disturbed by disconnection. The stable connection also brings ultra-low delay performance. Listening to songs, chasing dramas and playing games meet all the daily demands for headphones. What’s more, it has 32G of built-in memory, which can store 5,000 songs, which allows you to enjoy music without your mobile phone when you are outdoors.
Wissonly performs well in terms of comfort. It’s very light, less than 30g, and you don’t even feel like you’re carrying it when you wear it. The headphone body is made of titanium alloy, which makes it fit well. You don’t need to worry about falling off during exercise.
The waterproof of Wissonly Hi Runner needs special mention. It reaches IPX8 grade, which means that you can carry it under water for 20 meters and still use it normally. This is crazy!It only costs $99.99, which is very cost-effective.
