Over The Ear Bone Conduction Headphones

I was hoping they were more bone conduction like your other headphones

These are my first pair of bone conduction headphones and they are amazing. The sound is great and sound even better when you put ear plugs in. I work in a very loud building using power tools all day and need to wear ear plugs. So the fact that I can wear foam ear plugs and still listen to music is life changing.

First, I have had the Aftershokz bone conduction headphones for more than 5 years, and I will never go back to "in ear" headphones. The listening experience is great and you can add earplugs if you need to. This year I had a very unusual medical condition take most of the hearing in my left ear. I don't even hear with the bone conduction. So I ordered the Openfit because the earpieces work independently and nothing goes in my ear. I am really happy with these - I mostly just wear my right earpiece and it sounds great, sits comfortably ON my ear, and allows me to remain connected to the world around me. Because it is so light, I hardly know it's there and it doesn't bother my glasses. I can listen to books, music, podcasts - they are already the perfect compliment to my bone conduction set, which I intend to keep using as well. The Openfit are so flat that laying down with them on is a treat. Audiobook at bedtime? Yes please!

I have complete bone conduction hearing loss in my right ear due to an injury and with these headphones I can hear perfectly in that ear. With regular headphones I can not hear the output in my right ear so it’s one sided. With Shokz I get sound in both ears. I love these so much!

These are the best bone conduction headphones I've had. Very nice to wear.

Don’t hesitate..if you’re looking for bone conduction ear phones, you can’t beat these. They are lightweight, have good sound, and stay charged a long time. My Aeropex model was stolen, l couldn’t find a replacement, so l went with the OpenRun in blue. I wear them in the gym, walking & biking.

I was surprised by these. I had some cheap bone-conduction earphones. The sound was terrible. These are almost like my good over-the-ear headphones. Excellent sound. I like them when I am running because I can hear traffic. Also surprising is that I can use them to make calls. For me, way better than Air Pods.

My first introduction to open-ear/bone conduction, not too expensive, and no proprietary connector. I would have also enjoyed wireless charging but it is good enough. For what it is, this is a great alternative if allowed in office, or the gym or even around the house for a bit. After awhile, like 6 hours it can fatigue your head/face/bones, but taking them off and waiting a bit can immediately help. This IS NOT about quality, if you want music quality do not get these. They are great for audiobooks, light music use, podcasts, or similar items. Unless you use earplugs but to me that is opposite of the reason I got these.

Considering that these are not in-ear buds, and I have had bone conduction headset from shokz before, in my opinion, these are the best I've had. The sound is very clear and I have no issue at all with them falling off or losing adjustment. I read tons of reviews before buying these and finally went out on a limb because I really wanted the earbud system without having something wrap around my head and by inside my ear. They are very comfortable, I don't ever feel them. In fact, I forget I'm wearing them when I have my music paused for a little too long. I think this is a great design and I personally love the sound.

Was very skeptical since I hadn't heard anyone talking about "Bone Conduction" as a good alternative to over-the-ear or ear-pods. For me ear-pods quickly become uncomfortable, and I always felt that over-the-ear headphones prevented my being on top of what was going on around me (dogs, kids, wife, etc.) So when I saw the Shockz alternative I immediately ordered the OpenRun to try. That was a month ago and I wear it everyday for YouTube, Podcasts, and phone calls I love it!
