SHOKZ (AfterShokz OpenMove - Open-Ear Bluetooth Sport Headphones - Bone Conduction Wireless Earphones - Sweatproof for Running and Workouts, with Sticker Pack

For someone that is looking to get into bone conducting headphones, this are amazing, both for the quality, function, and price. They are comfortable, able to move my head around without any issues, even while wearing glasses with thick frames. The ability to be able to listen to music and still hear around you is cool as hell, and now its hard to go back to regular earbuds. The sound quality is obviously not the same as regular headphones, but they do a decent job, the main issue is the lack of bass. On that note, after trying to pro runs, you will be able to tell a big difference in sound quality, but again for starting headphones, these will do more than fine. Controls work fine, but basically volume up and down, and pause/continue. Battery life is amazing on these, could use them for a long time and they charged quickly.

Best Purchase for My Husband! I bought these for my husband, and they turned out to be one of the best gifts I've given him. He wears them every day for work, yard work, and even just relaxing while listening to music. He has hearing loss, and these have made it much easier for him to hear conversations during work phone calls while still being aware of what's going on around him. They were easy to connect to his phone. He says they're lightweight, comfortable enough to wear for hours, and they fit well and he has a large head. I also bought the same set for my son he doesn't have a large head. lol They both love them and wear them every day. They stay securely in place no matter what he's doing. He also loves the sound quality for music and podcasts, and the battery lasts all day without needing to recharge. If you're looking for comfortable, reliable headphones that are great for work, taking calls, or listening to music while staying aware of your surroundings, I highly recommend these. My husband absolutely loves them, and I would definitely buy them again. Easy to charge and the charge last all day. A great value for the money spent!

The SHOKZ OpenMove bone conduction headphones are a fantastic option for anyone who wants to stay aware of their surroundings while still enjoying music or podcasts. The open-ear design is super comfortable and doesn’t put pressure inside the ear, which makes them great for long workouts or all-day wear. Sound quality is clear and surprisingly full for open-ear headphones, especially for voice and podcasts. While they don’t have heavy bass like traditional earbuds, they make up for it with comfort and situational awareness, which is perfect for running, biking, or walking outdoors. Pairing via Bluetooth is quick and stable, and the battery life is solid for daily use light weight. They’re also lightweight and stay secure during movement, even during more intense activity.

I've been a fan of this brand for a while. It was honestly a godsend for me, as I can't wear inner earbuds. My ear canals are too small for even the smallest ones I've found. I don't like carrying around big over the ear headphones and the outer earbuds are kind of becoming a thing of the past, particularly after phones started dropping the audio jack. I got one of the mid-priced ones they had and they lasted me a good long while - they still work, but they finally broke in a way that I can't really repair without impacting the device's ability to rest on my temporal bones. For reference, I got these before the company rebranded themselves from Aftershokz to simply Shokz, which I think happened about 5 years ago. These likely would have lasted longer, except that I'm admittedly a bit rough on my electronics. These are a marked change from the earlier unit, which was smooth silicone and plastic. I chose these for the price point, but also because I thought the metal might make them harder to break. I'll have to wait a bit to weigh in on that one, as the older pair I had took years to finally start breaking down. Others have mentioned that these are a bit awkward on the head compared to the ones in the higher priced tiers. I have to agree on that. While I do think I'm getting a more durable unit, the headset is a bit more awkwardly placed than the other models. At times it sort of battles for space with my eyeglasses, but not in a way that I'd find a deal breaker. It's just a bit of a transition period, although if you are very sensitive to things like that I recommend going for one of the slimmer units. As far as sound goes, these are nice. I can tell that they've worked on the sound quality since their earlier units, as it's a bit crisper and clearer than my other set. I do get the impression that the higher dollar sets might be a bit better, but I think that's more because it might sit on the temporal bone a bit more smoothly than these might on my head. Other than that, I am pretty happy that the headset can be charged with a type C USB cord. This makes it easier to charge these any time, any where. These have a decent amount of charge time so I'm not particularly worried about this running out all of a sudden, but it is good to have. These do hold less of a charge than the mid-tier units, so keep that in mind. If you're someone who often goes long periods without charging things or can spend 10+hours using your headphones, you'll definitely want to go with the next tier up. Still, for my purposes these are fine. Another user mentioned some ear soreness - I haven't experienced that so far. I think part of this is because I'm kind of used to this via my eyeglasses and prior set - but I think that this will vary by person in general. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with these. I will admit that I liked the mid-tier type headset more as far as charge time and comfort goes, but this gets the job done and meets my needs. It also feels slightly more durable, but time will only tell with that. I might eventually replace these with a mid-tier when they wear out, but if they're anything like my old headset it's going to be a while and it'll go out kicking and screaming. Highly recommend.

The headphones sit comfortably on the cheekbones, delivering clear and dynamic sound without obstructing the ear canal. This unique approach allows ambient sounds to filter through, ensuring that users remain aware of their environment—a crucial safety feature, especially for outdoor activities. The lightweight and ergonomic design of the SHOKZ OpenMove headphones contribute to an incredibly comfortable fit. The wraparound headband ensures a secure yet unobtrusive feel during even the most rigorous workouts. I appreciate how these headphones stay in place, providing a hassle-free experience without the need for constant adjustments. One of the standout features is the impressive audio quality. The OpenMove headphones deliver rich and vibrant sound, with surprisingly deep bass for an open-ear design. Whether I'm on a run, cycling, or hitting the gym, the immersive audio experience enhances my workouts without sacrificing awareness. The Bluetooth connectivity of the OpenMove headphones is reliable and quick to set up. Pairing with my devices was a seamless process, and the connection remained stable throughout my activities.

These headphones are great for consumers who are active and are looking for headphones that don’t impede their ability to hear their surroundings. The Shokz hang snugly over the ears but not in them and works through bone conduction which works perfectly. This means that there is nothing going into, or over the ears muffling the ambient noises from around like traditional headphones that must be pulled out or off to the side from them to listen. For outdoor users this means a great deal to their safety being able to hear other people coming up to them whether it be runners, bicyclists, or more importantly motor vehicles. The sound quality from the Shokz is amazingly clear and it comes preprogrammed with different EQ settings like standard mode, or vocal booster mode that are easy to toggle through with a touch of a button. These Shokz are also sweatproof, so damage from that should not be a worry. If for whatever reason they do end up being damaged, they are covered by a two-year warranty by the manufacturer to give some added peace of mind. Their customer service department is amazingly easy to reach out to and get help with whether it be troubleshooting an issue or claiming a damaged product online. They reach out promptly and professionally. These headphones will not disappoint consumers looking to being safe outside while enjoying some great tunes and playlists. For those hesitant on the price point keep an eye out for sales. They happen multiple times a year and get down as low as fifty dollars for a new set.

Though this headset is a solution to eliminate having your ears plugged with ear buds or with large earmuffs, this model does have drawbacks… 1. Does NOT work with the Shokz app. Only their newer more expensive models do. 2. Neck band is not adjustable, which would be a very smart enhancement. 3. Neck band is too large for comfort, no matter the position it will not work for someone leaning their head against a couch or chair back. The pressure eventually will dislodge the device from the desired conduction location by the ear. Any clothing with a collar or a hoodie, or a jacket, will also likely be an issue with this headband. 4. Because the band is large, it made it difficult for me to find the correct location to set the conduction pieces. And then to be sure they stayed in place. They do have a ‘mini model of their more expensive headsets that would likely be better for the average to smaller head. This is my first bone-conduction hearing device, so I’m not exactly sure where to place the earpiece and due to the large size headband it does not just ‘naturally’ attach in the correct spot. I’ve not found a placement that gives ‘great’ music sound, but it does give ‘ok’ sound. Soooo for a mid-priced bone conduction headset, allowing me to hear natural sounds around me while also being able to listen to music while on a walk, I’d judge it ‘ok’. Not great, but OK. Not for in a car, nor on the couch, nor in a high-backed chair, but ok for on a walk / run or strength training. Still debating returning it… these negatives seem more associated with a low-priced device then a mid-priced one…

I would leave this headset more than 5 stars if I could. When the brand was still Aftershokz, I got this same model as a gift. So far, the replacement seems to be about the same quality, with the only major difference being the UI voice. My original headset lasted for more than 5 years with near-daily use, including being used for working online. I would usually get 8-10 hours out of a single charge (with intermittent pausing) and it charges FAST. I could throw it on the charger for ~30 minutes between classes and be good for another hour or two. Also, if you listen to any audio with surround sound, this headset is great. I listen to audio dramas, and the sound quality and 3D SFX come across loud and clear. My previous headset fell apart when the battery started bulging, but as said- that was after 5 years of constant use. I definitely got my money's worth and immediately bought the same model to replace it. I'm glad to report that the quality doesn't seem to have degraded!

ya he tenido comprado audifonos de esta marca y nunca me han decepcionado, tienen muy buen sonido para ser externos al oido y el microfono que tra integrado es de muy buena calidad tanto para las llamadas como para tomar reuniones en linea

Ich habe lange gehadert, ob ich wirklich so viel Geld für Kopfhörer ausgeben will. Vor allem, weil ich da dauernd was auszusetzen habe. Und dann hab ich mich doch drauf eingelassen. Vor allen Dingen, weil sie eben weder in noch auf den Ohren sitzen, denn das kann ich beides nicht leiden dauerhaft. Ich bereue es kein bisschen! Die Klangqualität ist gut, der Akku hält selbst mit vielen Telefonaten mehrere Tage und die Reichweite passt, um den Rechner mal verlassen und einen Kaffee holen gehen zu können. Der Bügel im Nacken ist für mich genau richtig (58 cm Kopfumfang) und drückt nicht. Ebensowenig drücken die Aufleger vor den Ohren. Von daher volle Punktzahl. Einzig nervig ist, dass sie nicht wirklich gut mit MS Teams zusammenarbeiten. Ich kann Gespräche nicht annehmen. Rufe ich wo an, höre ich weder Klingeln, noch Freizeichen - das ertönt erst, wenn ich aufgelegt habe. Nerviger geht es kaum. Geschlagen wird das nur von einem Tuten, wenn man sich im Call stummschaltet. Das nervt wirklich und lässt sich nur umgehen, indem man die Kopfhörer in den Systemeinstellungen stummschaltet. Das ist bei mir aber aufwendiger, als es in Teams zu tun. Also: wer Teams nutzt, sollte darauf gefasst sein. Da ich sie insgesamt aber genial finde und nicht mehr hergebe, kein Abzug.

Excellent

great sound quality and comfortable fit. comes with a set of stickers for adding nice colour contrast on the side of the headphone

These headphones are feather light and give a quite acceptable sound. They do not conflict with spectacles. I like them for walking outdoors with the advantage for me being that I can hear ambient sounds such as traffic and voices when necessary. They have a good charge life and can be comfortably worn for long periods. A single press of an easily located button pauses the playback instantly when necessary, such as when entering a shop etc, and the same button re-commences play. They also work well when used to make and take mobile calls.
