Shokz OpenRun Headphones Review (by a runner) 

This is one of THE BEST reviews I have ever seen in YT. I love your work and listening to your voice. I got my Openrun today. I was so surprised to see the red light going blue- fully charged- in such a short period of time.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable and informative review - thanks Laura!!

thank you for the review. i found it very informative and useful. so much so i bought myself a set this afternoon. looking forward to trying them out when theyre delivered tomorrow.

This is a fantastic review. Very well thought out and delivered.

I really appreciate how thoroughly you tested these & how balanced you were about you findings.

1 year on - Brilliant review! Of all the review video's for products I've seen online your style is perfect. Thank you for helping me make up my mind about getting these headphones!

Lovely review and was honest and pleasant to watch,normally I skip through a video but your review was relaxed and informative and the video layout was beautifully done.

Black Friday, seen these on sale, your review sealed the deal, thank you for taking the time to make it!😁

That was an awesome, thorough review! Thank hear would be a great addition for use during my runs, it would definitely be safer for traffic, a busy bike path, or a race!

Thanks for a great review. Answered all my questions I had about this product.

I've been using the Aeropex (now OpenRun) for two years now and absolutely love them, they are one of the best pieces of running kit I own. Thank you for the in-depth review Laura, it appears there have been a few upgrades that make your current model a little different than mine, good to know :) All the best with your running and other adventures! Cheers from Canada, Scott

First review I've seen so far who talked about tinnitus, thank you, thank you!! Will look to try these out!

Thanks for this great, honest and down to earth review. Really enjoyed it.

This technology has been around for a while. I climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 2000; the group climbs single file while attached to rail. Therefore, so everyone could hear the tour guide, we had these same head phones. I found it so intriguing at the time, I’m surprised they’re not more common. Thanks for this review LT🙏

Always a good day when LT uploads.

This is exactly the in-depth real world usage review that I was looking for. Thanks a lot for this video. I think it could be a game changer for me as well.

Love your review! Can't wait to get them!

The world needs Laura to review a lot more stuff, all the stuff, everything! Great work.

Hey Laura ty for info. Bought pair this wk and got it today. Awesome clarity and sound.

Really great review. Thorough, concise, human and clear. Thanks

Very well presented,I bought these very recently to treat myself. I love them I also like knowing about the battery life which is helpful.and the sound is very good.

Wonderful review. This is exactly the way I would love to see products presented more often. It could be so teasing to be honest. I tried several in ear and on ear headphones for running and cycling. For cycling I use them to listen to the notifications of the nav system on bike packing trips. But I always feel isolated from the environment and it akes to use them for hours. So this sounds like a solution and the are on my wish list. Always a pleasure to hear you talking.

Thanks for your review. I just picked up the minis. Love them.

What an excellently thorough review! Liked and subbed!

Fantastic review,informative and ever so helpful thank you.

Very good and honest review! 👍🏼 Now I’m convinced and I’ll buy a pair.

Excellent and honest presentation.thx your video was very helpful

Amazing review, thank you. This was very helpful

Now this is a review!!💪 I am glad that the battery life is waaay better than what they said on the box

Thank you for the thorough review!

very detailed review. want to get earphones for myself to workout at the gym/run. i was suggested shokz. great review!

Very good thorough review, really useful, thanks

EXCELLENT review, thank you! Was swithering whether to buy these in the Black Friday sale (ends tomorrow), and your review answered all my questions.

Nice review, honest and I like you test whilst running etc.

Great review. Very practical. I enjoyed it and it was helpful.

Another great review Big T. I am addicted to headphones and have loads of them and have always held off buying these. Maybe they're worth a try!!! Thanks for another great video.

Most reviews of the OpenRun just quote specifications and speculate. You are the only one who tested the battery life; what a surprisingly positive result! Thanks for the honest and thorough work.

This is a fabulous review, thank you so much. I do a lot a road cycling and would definitely consider purchasing a set after your review. Thank you.

Amazing review!

This is an amazing review, thank you!

Great review! Just ordered a pair!

Wow very nice description…very helpful 😊thanks

Great video! Im training for my first marathon this march, and looking for something on those long runs on the weekends!

Such a great review!!

Super review - thank you!

Thanks for this review. I am definately going to get a pair (just need to do a bit of saving up, first!) xx

Hi Laura - Thank You! I've watched many great reviews on the OpenRun headphones but I find your video to be most useful and realistic. I bought these headphones and I they quickly became my favorite for active use and extended wear time. At one time, I forgot I had them on. My only adjustment was accepting the absence of bass response which is fine because the range of sound is amazing otherwise. Many thanks again and all the best.

Thanks so much for posting your review, it helped me make my decision to give them a go (but the OpenSwim model since I wanted the built-in mp3 storage and player versus Bluetooth). Take care :)

Great review - and thanks for making me aware of the existence of this. On an even more exciting note: I'd like to express my sincere congratulations on reaching your 50K subscribers milestone! 🥳 (It was clearly just a matter of time, as your channel is most deservedly growing strongly, but still. 🙂👍🏻)

I’m convinced and getting a pair. I’ve just started running again after two years and want to enjoy my runs while listening to military cadences. In-ears irritate my skin so this sounds like the perfect solution. Thank you!!

Thanks for this! Really helpful!!

This was an excellent review i love your accent by the way

Thanks for a great review!

I think I want to try these for once the weather is warmer and I'm able to go hike again. I love listening to music but it would be nice to hear my surroundings, especially when I go alone. Thanks for the review and video!

Thank you for a very honest and detailed review!

Thank you for a clear review ☺️

You know what? I just love watching and listening to you! I don't even wanne buy these headphones! Keep on going, Laura! 50K abonnees: you go girl!!! Kind regards from the Netherlands!

Great review. Used the Aeropex for several months. Used to always use in ear but due to sweating heavily when exercising I had problems with ear infections. Moving to these I’ve had no more issues. Used to want to block out all external sounds but this is a small compromise to stop having the ear issues.

Fantastic in depth review, thinking of getting these for cycling and running so i can still hear cars etc 👍

Proprietary - you crack me up, stumble on that one too, great review Laura, you're a natural, could listen all day.....thanks

Excellent full review.

i agree with your comparison with other headphones. i’m audiophile myself having iems, true wireless earbuds, and headphones. but i’d still use shokz for my bicycle riding. 100% comfortably safe while on the road

Hello Laura, thank you for this review, I also love your accent :D I have used Aftershokz Trekz for 3 years, then, because of my oversight, I damaged them, but for 3 years I didn't have any problems. Right know I am loooking for new ones, thinking about Openrun or Openrun pro.

Great review, thank you very much!

Yeah these are fantastic. I use them when cycling can feel very confident that I'm not myself in jeopardy although I would recommend sticking with audio books or podcasts rather than music since sometimes the music can sometimes blend with the sounds of the road.

I'm a drywaller/ painter and trail runner. I've worn those for about 5 years at work and trail. Love them. And, if I'm working in a really loud environment (power drills, hammering etc) , I put ear plugs in. Then I can turn the volume way down. Love them

excellent review!

Thank you very much!!! I think it's the best choice for people who love sports!!

Such a good (proprietary) review ! Thanks!

Aloha Laura and bone-phoneRS, Great Review Laura! I got the Open Run on sale yesterday $100 + tax at a big warehouse store in the US. I love the first pair in Navy so much that I bought a second pair three hours later. I am really impressed/amazed with these as a first time user. Background: I have two pairs of the original Air Pods that I usually wear in one ear, as I like to be able to hear other sounds around me. I got a wireless Jabra which allows outside sounds in. However I don't enjoy fidgeting with wireless ear buds that you worry about loosing or falling out of your ear. These Open Runs sound great, fit well with a hat and glasses and are lightweight. They have all the controls you need. The bone transducer design creates and amazing good enough sound. I listen to mostly instrumental jazz music, but also vocals and podcasts. I like being able to hear around me on a walk outdoors with this comfortable headset. Battery life has been amazing on the first charge. I got the second headset (unopened) in case the battery life and use of the first one is short. So far,I may not need a second (but at least there is a second power cable in that one as back up). Will see in the next month if I really need the second set. I really love the sound and fit and being able to hear other sounds. I find I really do not have to punch up the volume at all...works for me (and others cannot hear the Stereo sound while I can converse with them...Wow scary 😅 ). I am a believer in these type of headphones. You fit and use may vary. Give it a try. Once your find your Cinderella of Headphones like I did, She is a Keeper. Thanks again for the great video.

Fantastic review thank you 🙏

great review. I just received mine and almost wear them all day for work and exercise. The audio quality is not comparable to in-ears, but the comfort is great and multi point pairing is a feature that I won't be able to live without anymore, haha.

Just bought a pair of open run. Enjoyed your video. I’ll let you know how they work for me.

Great review. 🙌

I just got a set and love them. this method of bone conduction has been around since the early 80s

Love your presentation style, lack of waffle and attention to detail. Can see why you have so many subs. I believe the proprietary cable is also to stop water ingress which would happen via USB C. I love my Shockz, i have the Aeropex which came with two cables (shame they stopped that) but the fast charge looks great.

Thanks for sharing your review

I am not a runner, not a hiker, not even interested in the Shokz, but I watch your reviews because the structure of your presentation is something I truly admire and I am keen to learn from! Kind regards from Croatia :)

Hi, I love your review. Thank you.

i have had a set for years. They are great and your review is right on, although no one has ever complained they could hear my music.

Wow great review

Great review, helped me make a better decision.

I love, love, love, love these headphones. I had the Trekz Titanium for 5-6 years and finally they developed a crack near the ear that was a bit painful. I picked up the Aeropex and they are so much more comfortable than even the old Titanium. The battery lasts what seems like FOREVER. I love that I can still hear traffic while running. I even wear them while doing chores around the house.

Thank you. This is the kind of review that helps a great deal. Brilliant job. :-)

What a cool review. Nice one

I bought a pair yesterday. Have them on now for the 1st time. I LOVE these headphones. I hate putting anything in my ear. Gotta try them with some music. Standby…WOW! Music sounds REALLY GOOD! I love these!

Pleasant and informative review. I have Ménière’s disease so the pressure from ear buds is always a gamble. I’m really excited to get these. Thanks for the great review!

Great review

I've had mine since Christmas 2021, a gift from my husband. Took a few days. First had a foreign language. Took a few days to find English. I've had them attached to my phone and tablet. Just got a new phone. Could not remember how to pair them. Found your video. The best one I found. Only took a few minutes.

fabulous detailed review! Im deaf in one ear and wear hearing aids so going to give these a try. There is a open run 'mini' headphone on amazon for smaller heads, im going to order them, thank you

New subscriber here - fantastic balanced review. I'm looking at picking some of these up myself as I begin my running journey.

Great concice report, thanks

thanks for review..very insightful

Very well presented review, thanks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍 When my current Jabra Bluetooth earbuds peg out I’ll be considering the Aftershox. I do think more than most other brands they could do wi some sort of try before you buy scheme to get more folk on board.

he lt why do i always feel positive when i watch your youtube keep it up 🙏👍😃

Thanks Laura!

Great review Thanks heaps

I’m deaf and can only hear from my device through the Shokz headphones.

I am old (74) and living in Japan. I walk daily along the beach where I live and hate missing parts of conversations with my fellow walkers. I t ried bone headsets when they first came out and was not impressed. I recently met a Shokz user who slammed these things on my head and cranked the volume! Loved it! I then searched reviews after the purchase and yours was the best. Thank you!

This settles it, I'm going to try a pair. Thanks
