Q: What bone conduction headphones for someone hard of hearing
A: I am partially deaf in my right ear. When i listen to music I can feel the vibration in my ear which made me cry because it was similar to almost hearing normal again
Q: Can I wear these in the shower?
A: Yes i wear them in the shower all the time. Even been under water a few times on accident in the pool with no problems.
Q: Can these be easily used with sunglasses?
A: I use them with prescription glasses without an issue, so I imagine they should be fine with sunglasses too.
Q: Do these have a microphone? And can I use them to call someone?
A: Yes they have a microphone that picks up very good, better than my phone even. There is also a button on the left temple of the device that allows you to start and stop YouTube videos and answer and hang up calls.
A: My husband jumped in the pool forgetting his were on. They stopped working the next day
A: Hi there- The OpenRun Pro can only be used while being connected through Bluetooth. While these are not hearing aids, we do have customers who use them to assist with hearing, usually by pairing the headphones to their phone and accessing a hearing aid app like Petralex, Ear Spy, Ear Trumpet, or Hear You Now. These apps use the mic on the phone to pick up surrounding sound and transmit it through the headphones. Please reach out to our Customer Happiness Team if you have any other questions. Thanks!
Q: Can you listen in one ear at a time or does it have to be both
A: Yes, You can slide when you're off down to your neck and still hear on the other ear.

Great audio quality, exceeded expectations! Keeps ears healthy, open, & dry. Mic is great BUT susceptible to wind noise, fyi. Perfect for walking, running, and cycling! +2 stars: Mostly sweatproof! Not totally waterproof though.. +2 stars: Audio quality greatly exceeds expectation, especially compared to older Openrun and to other sports-style headphones & earbuds! +1 star: Battery life is fantastic!!! -1 star: fit is too tight on my very large head, clamps tightly -1 star: headband broke after 15 months of heavy use -1 star: microphones should be improved to eliminate wind noise! +2 stars: excellent customer service! Called Shokz & they are sending me a replacement pair after 15 months of use broke the headband. Overall great BUT especially if you have a larger head, look at the **brand new Openrun Pro2** that just came out - supposed to be better in all respects *AND* have reduced clamping force on your head!

Having worn these day after day for about a month I’ve noticed a few things that I’d like to expand upon. First of all comfort, They take some getting used to in the beginning as you’ll get a tickle on your cheek bones with bass or other loud noises. If worn too much I notice an uncomfortable ache in my ear that’s probably from the pressure and vibration that I’m not accustomed to. Then there’s sound quality. In noisy areas they are almost useless, I’ve found having an ear plug in or just sticking my finger in my ear helps the bone conduction relay the sound to my ear drum, again for noisy areas. When in a generally noise free area the headphones work great. When talking on the phone I’ve noticed the microphones limit the background noise making your voice #1. If you’re in the bathroom the person on the other end might hear an echo. I can wear them all day without needing a charge. I listen to podcasts, books, news and social media. I’ve even used them at work where “headphones aren’t allowed” and gotten a pass from the boss because they leave my ears open to my environment. Overall they have a great look and they wear really well. If you’re looking for an open ear concept this is the brand for sure.

I work remote and I am on calls 80% of my day. This headset has saved me from headaches and not feel like I constantly have headphones on. They are light weight, the sound is awesome and the people on the other end cannot hear a thing in my background. I tested this to the max including running a vacuum. 100000% better than airpods or beats. The battery lasts me all day and I’m sure the next bit I always charge it at the end of the day. They also come with a hard shell protective case, high quality! I can easily swap fe my phone to my computer with a click, no more fighting with air pods with connecting to the wrong device and having to remove. I can’t say enough good things about my Shokz pro!
