One of our running buddies turned up wearing shokz and we were intrigued ! Loved the idea of running listening to favourite music and podcasts yet still able to hear traffic noise. So yes these were a must for me . Next I am telling my friends … they brought them too ! We love to celebrate special birthdays and Tina’s was coming up . We knew she was in awe of our shokz so a quick collection for a present 🎁 ! Tina is now in the groove with her red shokz. Lots of laughter with ‘Housework will never be the same’ 💃 🎶

I had been using ear buds for many years until one day I had reduced hearing. After getting my hearing checked out I was told that my hearing loss was due to compacted ear wax from many years of forcing the buds into my ears. I was then in the hunt for a different audio experience. Over ear headphones were a consideration but having seen people not paying attention to their surroundings when wearing them made me question the safety of this idea when out and about.
On a recent shopping trip to a high street department store I tried a pair of the OpenRun bone conductive headphones and was simply blown away by the quality of the audio. After a little more research into the science of bone conduction I chose the OpenRun headphones from the Shokz website. I’m very please I did. The headphones are very light and very easy to wear even with glasses on. The controls are easy to reach and the pause button is super handy when you need to stop to talk to someone or deal with something in full concentration mode.
The most important thing for me is that when using the headphones I’m still connected to my surroundings and not cut off from the world. Although these are sports headphones I use mine when gardening, washing the car and doing chores around the house. With excellent Bluetooth connectivity I can leave my phone and other devices in one place and simply get on with things while still enjoying excellent quality of sound.
Overall I would thoroughly recommend the Shokz OpenRun bone conductive headphones for ease of use, quality of materials and the excellent quality of sound. Try Allegri's Miserere for the high notes and Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Bach for the low notes – awesome.

I got a 3:03 in the London 2025 Marathon and I have to say these Shokz headphones definitely contributed to that! My last two marathons I get frustrated and annoyed because my airpods constantly fall out of my ears which affects my perfected playlist timing and my mental state. Thank goodness for the open run Shokz - won't ever run in anything else (plus they look SLEEK). If you're a runner - you would be crazy not to have these. Thank me later when you get your PB!

I genuinely love my Shokz (mini size)! They’re so light and comfortable, I forget I’m wearing them - even with glasses on. I use them daily for dog walks, runs, and gym sessions, and they never budge.
One of the things I love the most is the open-ear design—it lets me stay aware of everything going on around me, which makes me feel a lot safer when I’m out alone.
The sound is great, the fit is perfect, and the shopping experience was super smooth from start to finish. Couldn’t be happier with them!

Good quality sound from a well made product.
I’m now the proud owner of both the Aeropex and Openrun headphones. Both deliver hours of listening pleasure, without isolating you from ambient sounds that help keep you aware of your surroundings while out exercising.
I mostly use mine while cycling. The headband fits snuggly under my helmet, and I can still easily reach the large pause button on the left, and the volume buttons on the right. I especially like that the headphones pair to my rear facing radar light, giving me a loud audible alert to any approaching traffic..
Another feature I like is that the Shokz headphones can pair to my smart TV. With the right settings I can then listen at my own level, while the family listen through the normal speakers.
I opted for the magnetic charging cable rather than the new USB-C option, as it makes for effortless charging. Just bring the magnetic cable and the headphones close, and they automatically connect.
And finally, I never win anything, so it was quite a surprise to receive an email from Shokz saying I’d won the daily draw, and would get a full refund for my latest purchase.. Thank you Shokz, I think that’s what you call a ‘Win Win’ scenario :)
