Best purchase ever!

5 out of 5 stars

Best purchase ever!
I absolutely LOVE my mini. It's still slightly big on me but I've learned how to adjust them. I literally wear them ALL DAY even to sleep. I charge them up once in the middle of the day and they charge quick and hold the charge as advertised maybe even longer. I'm thinking of buying a second one so I have a night and day set. Totally recommend.

Thank you for your feedback

    Size: Standard Size+Magnetic ChargingColor: GreyVerified Purchase

    My husband absolutely loves these SHOKZ OpenRun headphones. He often says how amazing it is to hear his music clearly while still staying fully aware of everything around him—whether it’s cars passing, traffic signals, or simply chatting with someone on the sidewalk. The open‑ear design is a total game-changer—no more struggling to choose between immersive sound and situational awareness.

    They’re incredibly lightweight—around 26 g—and feel like nothing around his head. He can wear them for long runs or workouts without feeling weighed down. The wraparound titanium frame stays secure and comfortable even during intense movement.

    One of his favorite features is the battery life. He gets about 8 hours of music and calls on a full charge, and the quick‑charge feature is a lifesaver—just 10 minutes plugged in gives about 1.5 hours of playback. Perfect for mornings when he forgets to charge the night before.

    They’re also built to last—with an IP67 rating, they’re sweat-proof and fully waterproof (up to 1 m for 30 min), so rainy runs or sweaty gym sessions don’t faze them. Plus, the moisture-detection alert adds peace of mind when charging.

    Sound-wise, they deliver music through bone conduction, so while the experience isn’t as immersive as in-ear earbuds, the clarity and balance are surprisingly good for open-ear design. Vocals come through clearly, and the sound is motivating—perfect for his workouts.

    Plus, they perform consistently during exercise—secure fit, reliable Bluetooth, and zero ear fatigue.

    Size: Mini Size+USB-C ChargingColor: BlackVerified Purchase

    Quick summary:
    – Comfortable to wear all day.
    – Feasible to wear all day in all situations since it does not block your hearing and is waterproofed.
    – Has no problem staying in position in nearly all situations.
    – Battery lasts all day (I regularly end the day around ~80% battery left).
    – Bluetooth multipoint is supported. Check the Shokz website for a video showing how to enable it. You must hold the on and multifunction button at the same time to enable multipoint.
    – Use their sizing guide video to find the correct size before purchase. I bought the normal size, then had to buy the mini instead. If you need the mini but buy the normal size then it will push on the back of your ears uncomfortably.
    – Standard USB-C charging means one fewer charger. I usually charge it in the morning while starting my day.
    – Quick charging.
    – Multifunction button is a physical button, so it's hard to activate it by accident.
    – Sound is reasonable for listening to music and making calls. Microphone is reasonable. Look into how bone conduction sounds to get an idea of what to expect. I'm comfortable using these for music, games, and calls unless I'm wanting exquisite audio quality.

    My story:
    I purchased these because the idea of having a pair of headphones I could wear all day was appealing to me. I am the kind of person that prefers to never play videos etc. out loud, which usually results in me never seeing any content with sound. Wearing other earbuds or headphones all day isn't feasible because other headphones block out surrounding sounds and fall out/off easily. Unfortunately, I'm also the kind of person who is significantly motivated by music. What a bad combination! With these I'm able to put them on in the morning and only take them off at night. Bluetooth multipoint is a nice bonus, as it allows me to seamlessly switch between my phone and my computer.

    Generally, these sound as if a speaker in the room is playing whatever you're listening to. Just like a real speaker in the room, you can turn it up to drown out surrounding sound or turn it down so surrounding sound takes over. I can comfortably play music during a conversation and still hear the conversation. I can also comfortably play music while shopping or while driving and still be able to hear my surroundings i.e. it's no different from a speaker in the store or car playing music.

    I have used these for personal and work calls and they function well for that purpose. I have had no complaints about mic quality. With long hair, people often don't realize I'm even wearing these unless my hair is up. I'm able to wear these fine with both glasses and a mask. These usually comfortably rest slightly above the ear outside of my glasses. This position reduces the strain on my ears.

    All in all, if you need an all-day wear pair of headphones for general listening and calls, these are an excellent choice.

    Shokz is a definite yes in my household, and my bf is the one that recommended it to me. You can listen to whatever and even at full volume, nobody around you can really hear what you’re listening to ! I got the minis because apparently i have a small head (?) and these fit but pull down a bit unless i bobby pin it to my hair. The design is sleek and simple, the buttons are easy to use to turn it on and off, volume up and down and put it in pairing mode.

    It automatically connects to my phone everytime and i love it, it provides a better sound quality than my microphone does and is overall one of my favorite purchases. It also charges super fast with is amazing.

    My only issue is that it pulls down on my ears after a few hours of wearing them but its easy to readjust 🙂

    Je suis extrêmement satisfait de ces écouteurs SHOKZ OpenRun Mini, leur design à conduction osseuse me permet d’écouter ma musique ou mes podcasts tout en restant conscient de mon environnement, ce qui est parfait pour le running ou le vélo en extérieur. La version « Mini » se distingue par une armature raccourcie de 21 mm qui offre un ajustement plus sûr et très confortable, même avec des lunettes ou un casque. L’autonomie est généreuse avec pas moins de 8 h d’écoute continue, et la charge rapide de seulement 10 minutes suffit à obtenir 1,5 h d’utilisation supplémentaire, hyper pratique. Les appels téléphoniques sont fluides grâce à sa connectivité Bluetooth 5.1 et son micro intégré, parfaitement stable même durant l’effort.En résumé, il s'agit d’un équilibre remarquable entre confort, sécurité et performance audio, je les recommande vivement à tout sportif ou utilisateur souhaitant rester alerte en milieu urbain.

    Super für Sport

    Reviewed in Germany on October 22, 2022

    Ich habe die Kopfhörer hauptsächlich zum Sport gekauft und so bewerte ich diese. Ich hab diese etwa eine Woche getestet.

    Nach dem durchlesen einiger Bewertung war ich skeptisch gegenüber den Soundqualität – hier kann ich aber nur wiedersprechen. Man hört die Musik einfach anders als bei gewöhnlichen Kopfhörern, deswegen kann ich nicht sagen dass dies in allem schlechter als bei herkömmlichen wäre – besser ist es aber auch nicht in allen Punkten.

    Tonqualität 4/5
    Für mich hört sich der Sound ein bisschen so an, als würde im Raum ein sehr guter Lautsprecher stehen aber vor meinen Ohren hängt ein Tuch. Sprich der Sound gibt die Musik als Ganzes wieder wirkt aber auch leicht dumpf. Gleichzeitig nehme ich den Sound anders wahr, ein bisschen als hätte ich ein Implantat und der Ton wird "an den Ohren vorbei" wahrgenommen – das aber im besten Sinne ohne komisch zu sein. Bass ist da, wird aber mit zunehmender Lautstärke immer weiter ab. Der Bass ist weit weg davon als "satt" beschrieben werden zu können, aber für meinen Geschmack ist genug da um auch bei Hip-Hop oder elektronischer Musik den Beat zu unterstreichen. Wer es aber braucht, dass die Ohrläppchen vibrieren, hat hier vermutlich weniger Spaß. Von kristallklaren Höhen kann man leider auch nicht sprechen. In großem ist für mich der Sound also gut und für den Zweck – Sport völlig ausreichend.
    Ein großer Vorteil für mich: dadurch, dass der Sound eher "von innen" kommt wird dieser auch nicht durch Geräusche von außerhalb verfälscht. Auch beim Joggen oder Fahrradfahren gibt es keine Störgeräusche durch Wind, Kabel oder andere Stöße.

    Sehr angenehm ist es die Umgebung komplett wahrnehmen zu können und trotzdem Musik zu hören. Ein bisschen als würde ich einen Ghettoblaster dabei haben ohne meine Umwelt zu stören.

    Komfort 5/5
    Die Bluetooth Verbindung ist sehr schnell hergestellt, bei Android und Windows ohne Probleme. Die Übertragung ist auch bei mehreren Metern (Räumen) bis zum Abspielgerät kein Problem.
    Starker Regen hat das Musik-hören kein bisschen eingeschränkt. Aufladen funktioniert einfach, USB-C wäre mir lieber gewesen. Der Hörer ist so leicht, dass er auch nach langem tragen nicht auffällt – Druckgefühl in oder auf den Ohren wie bei gewöhnlichen Hörern gibt es nicht.
    Die Akkulaufzeit scheint okay, ich hatte bisher keine Probleme.
    Wenn ich die Lautstärke hoch stelle, merke ich insbesondere bei Bässen ein vibrieren. Eigentlich kaum verwunderlich, da man sich ja faktisch eine kleine Membran an die Schläfe hält. Für mich ist das aber kein Problem, das gibt der Musik sogar etwas physischen Nachdruck 😉 Dann können die Ohrläppchen also doch vibrieren! [so stark ist es nicht]

    Design 4/5
    Dass diese Kopfhörer eher aus sehen wie große Hörgeräte ist zwar etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, ansonsten finde ich die Optik ansprechend. Sicher könnten die dickeren Elemente etwas filigraner ausgearbeitet werden. Jetzt sieht man, dass die Technik halt einfach irgendwo hin musste – dann machen wir da einfach ein kleines Kästchen wo es am wenigsten stört hin. Ich bin sicher, mit etwas Mühe wäre einem da etwas eleganteres eingefallen.
    Die rote Farbe ist in echt etwas dezenter als auf den Fotos, was ich sehr angenehm finde. Die Farbe erinnert mich an britisches Baked Cherry.

    Preis-Leistungsverhältnis 4/5
    Ich finde die Kopfhörer im ganzen etwas teuer, besonders wenn ich sie mit gewöhnlichen versuche zu vergleichen. Zur Wahrheit gehört aber, dass der Shokz ein spezielles Sport-hör-gerät ist bei dem mir bisher keine bessere Alternative untergekommen ist. Die positiven Eigenschaften die Knochenhörer speziell machen bekomme ich woanders nicht. Und wenn ich das nächste Mal neue Laufschuhe suche, dann schaue ich ja auch nicht zuerst auf den Preis.

    Ich bin sehr zufrieden und kann guten Gewissens eine Empfehlung geben!

    Fajne jednak nie do wszystkiego

    Reviewed in Poland on October 19, 2023

    Size: Standard Size+Magnetic ChargingColor: BlueVerified Purchase

    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 -_-' ).
