SHOKZOpenRun Mini (AfterShokz Aeropex Mini) -Bone Conduction Open-Ear Bluetooth Sport Headphones - Waterproof Wireless Earphones for Workouts and Running - Built-in Mic, with HeadbandCarbonfree Certified

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.

These are my first phone conducting headphones and I love them. They are fantastic for runs but also super comfortable for wearing around town on errands. In fact if you have the volume up too loud you can't really hear the outside terribly much which is great if you're worried about the volume quality but if you just turn it down a bit then you can definitely hear people talking next to you since your ears aren't covered. Would buy them again. Also, the 8-hour battery means you can go all day without having to recharge them. DEFINITELY check your head size! I'm a mini. My other favorite part is that you have one button to control going to the next track or pausing or answering calls etc, something about true wireless headphones that irritates the heck out of me is that if you're only using one side, you can only do the controls that that earbud has. You don't have this problem with the headset here. Also I love that they're not touch controls and that you have physical buttons because the touch controls on my earbuds drive me nuts.

I bought the Mini and when I first tried them on I thought, wow, they are still to big b/c they don't fit snug to my head. There is an inch or so gap. I read though that this is normal and decided to give them a try. The first day I wore them at work to replace my normal work headphones for calls and video conferencing. The sound was great and they felt comfortable but I could tell they were there. I loved that my ears didn't hurt and I could leave them on in between meetings without pain but I did find myself taking them off. I wore them again the next day and found I noticed them less and took them off less frequently. By day three I wore them all day, never took them off. Forgot I even had them on. It took a few days of getting used to the fit and feel but once I did I couldn't be happier. The sound quality is great. I also used them for listening to music while at work. I like that I can be aware of what's around me while still listening to music. I highly recommend.

As a 74-year-old who still enjoys morning walks and working around the house, these SHOKZ OpenRun bone conduction headphones have been a fantastic find. I’ve tried traditional earbuds before, but they were uncomfortable and made it hard to hear what was going on around me. These are completely different—in a great way.The open-ear design is exactly what I needed. I can listen to my music or audiobooks clearly while still hearing birds chirping, traffic, or a neighbor saying hello. It makes me feel safer and more connected to my surroundings. The sound quality is surprisingly good, especially considering nothing is actually in my ears!They’re lightweight, comfortable, and stay in place even if I’m moving around. The battery life has been excellent—I only need to charge them once or twice a week.Honestly, these have made my walks more enjoyable and my days more musical. For anyone my age looking for a safer, more comfortable way to listen to audio, I highly recommend giving these a try.Johnny Payne
