SHOKZOpenRun Pro Mini- 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, Black

I like earbuds for their low cost and good sound quality. I decided to try these at the suggestion of a coworker. I work in the front office of a manufacturing facility. These headphones do well in the office for what I call "elevator music mode," it's low but just always there and I can hear things around me. I think they do well for multiple styles of music from classical to heavy metal and rap. The bass is better than I thought it would be and, surprisingly, I have noticed vocals are easier to understand than with earbuds I have tried.Here's a use case I discovered that the manufacturer might not have considered: these headphones work extremely well with ear plugs. When I go on the manufacturing floor I can hear my music clearly while wearing my earplugs. The tone isn't quite right compared to a stereo or ear buds, but it's still darn good. And the safety man can't grumble at me for not wearing PPE.There's a downside to wearing these with earplugs. Usually you can hear things around you even with earplugs, but with music on top of that you can't hear anything. So be careful. I suppose it's good if you stay in one area on the assembly line, but they do make walking around a bit more tricky.The good thing about wearing earplugs is the volume doesn't have to be turned up very much for the music to sound loud. I've frequently had battery life exceed 10 hours since I rarely play music over 50% volume during the day.They're also very convenient for phone calls. No one has had trouble hearing me on the phone, and I can do other stuff while talking. These headphones beat any other earpiece I've ever had.One last thought, range is very good. I can get around 50 feet from my phone while listening to music in free air (no obstructions... walls, etc). They will maintain a connection for a good distance beyond what is capable of audio transmission and resume playing when coming back into range. Oh, and they are comfortable. I wear them all day, even when they are not playing, with no problems.The price is a bit high, but I'd replace them with an identical set without any thought (I mean, assuming I have the money).

I cycle and run. Sometimes on longer rides I would like a little, something. Music, talk, a distraction.Pros- battery life is great. I have used these out on jobs while I work. Have run them all day long, 8-10 hours on a lower volume setting and they worked all day. They fit great and are very easy to use once you remember the buttons so you can reach up and adjust them.I have used them while walking through a store and chatting on the phone. Have not had any complaints about people not being able to hear me.Out on bike rides they are good. From zero mph to around 20mph you can hear them. This also depends on the wind, meaning not the wind from you riding but Mother Nature. Above 20mph they get difficult to hear. If you’re listening to a playlist you know then you can pick out parts and know what you’re listening to. I tried listening to a podcast and above 20mph I had no idea what they were talking about.Running, they stay in place, don’t bounce around. They come with a headband but I have never used it. There are no issues with hearing anything while running.I also like these because it doesn’t block you ear canal and I can clearly hear my bike computer yelling at me when my bike radar detects a car coming from behind. I can hear the car approaching as well. You can have a conversation with people while using them but I tend to block out their voice and concentrate on the music. I do have to turn the volume down so I don’t get distracted from the conversation.Value for the money, well, they are pricey but compared to say, iPods or similar good quality ear pieces I think these are on par with other brands. I cannot speak on durability as I intentionally do not abuse them, throw, drop, kick, sling them in any way. For what I do they have held up well.If you ride, run or walk I would recommend looking into the these.

These headphones are really solid. The sound is nice and clear, which is a big deal for me since I have a low-frequency voice that often sounds like I’m in a tube with other headsets—including AirPods. I use them in the office, and they connect to both my desktop and phone at the same time. Switching between sources happens automatically, and I haven’t noticed any problems when going from a desktop video to a mobile call. I did have a small issue with them disconnecting from my iPhone once, but rebooting the phone fixed it, and it hasn’t happened again. Comfort depends on your head size—they’re fine for me to wear all day. The battery lasts through a full workday, and the magnetic charging plug is super easy to use; I just connect it overnight, and they’re ready by morning. I’ve been using them daily for over 9 months with no issues so far, and I hope they hold up long-term—it took me years to find headphones that don’t distort my voice like this!
