To me, yes they are. I was on the fence forever because I’m all about good sound quality, but as someone who works from home, works out and runs outside a lot, the functionality of these is unbeatable and no comparison to buds. You can hear all around you and still enjoy your music with very decent sound quality. They stay secure and don’t budge, sweat does nothing to them no matter how much you pour sweat, and working/on meetings you can quietly rock out to your favorite music and nobody is the wiser.
The only way you’re hearing anything with these is if you force them to hold right outside your ear canal. Good concept but the sound is so lackluster. Going to be returning mine soon. I’ve been trying to give them a chance but they’re not doing it… what a shame.
They’re designed so that you can hear ambient noise. This is very useful for scenarios where you should be listening to your surroundings. They’re also glued to the head during use. I like using these when cycling and running.
i received mine today, and went walking, waouh ,
the sound is great ! never thought it would be so good, i will bring this to work, i repair machines and there can be explosion in the factory, i must listen around me every time, it is the good product for me.
Well worth the money. I thought the "bone conduction" was a gimmick because a little speaker points toward the ear, but I still really like them.
Then one day, I put ear plugs in my ears and was amazed that I could hear a lot more from the headphones, which proves the bone conduction is not a gimmick.

Bro these are the worst sure they are an ok design but within weeks of workouts they go bad. It’s insane I’ve gone through 3 pairs in less than 6 months… not worth it… maybe the waterproof ones but even then I’d be wary for the price

I’m rather disappointed by how they implemented the usb-c port. While I’m happy it’s there, the flap covering it is now it retains it’s water resistance. Meaning if the flap disappears, you lose the water resistance. Since these are meant for jogging and exercise, loss of water resistance will ruin them. So in short, no these are not worth $180. Maybe if there’s an updated model with improved water resistance that doesn’t need a protective flap, then I’d reconsider.
Bro why are jaywalking when you were right next to the crosswalk?? 😭 You’re more likely to be hit there than if you just jaywalked on a long stretch of road, because the cars are turning and blocking their view of you.
They are awesome!!
I cycle everywhere in my city in Denmark. Shokz saved me from hours of boredom while saving me from accidents.
My Shokz open run pro mini suddenly only works on one side. The other side is mute.

They are good for working in a shop, normal ear buds arent allowed so these are great
Regular or pro 2? I’ve heard mixed reviews saying the regular is better than the pros
Meant for running.
They stay secure during workouts, are easy to store, and feel almost weightless on the ears, putting no pressure at all.

Running and for gaming
How did they feel with the glasses?
I think you need the minis
tried them, open pro 2… they suck, not worth the 180! unless you are in a cemetery, you can really hear shit…. I returned them back…

This dude ran through traffic… Wow…
It looks good, but the price is a bit beyond my budget. Are there any other brands you would recommend? How about NANK Runner Diver2?
had to return mine, sweat gets into the left driver causing muffled unbalanced sound and, at times, crackling
Does it work to wear them with your glasses without problems?
They’ve got the Pro 2 Mini now, would probably fit better for some of us who are smaller in stature.
Use a crosswalk.
Honestly I don’t know if anyone running needs audiophile standard, these works perfectly for me

Love it!!!
I mean for me I need to make sure I’m not going to be chased by a mountain lion or grizzly bear 😂 open ear all the way
If you want to make a phone call, the sound is very low even though the volume is at maximum.
The volume on these suck not worth it.
These are so much better than the Open Run Pro 1.

if I wear this, can I start running on the road towards traffic?
I got these so I can still wear earplugs while I sandblast lol

🙏🙏❤️❤️
Does the music leak tho?
I bought this and doesn’t fit my ears. A bit loose. Does not stick to my head. So I had to turn on to the loudest to hear it

the product is fine but they need to come up with a larger size for bigger heads like me. I just retour them. :S
Military and First Responders can get the Suunto Wing for half that price
If you could get these for $180 or the open run pro for $100 which would you choose?
