    Who it's for
    Runners — especially long-distance and ultra runners — who need to hear ambient sound while listening to music. Those with smaller heads are pointed toward the Mini version instead.
    What people are saying
    Hosts praise the secure fit, all-day comfort, and the ability to hear surroundings while still listening to audio. One note flags the Mini variant is less loud, and one host loved it immediately on first try.
    Worth noting
    At least one host has used theirs since 2020, suggesting solid durability. Standard size fits regular heads; smaller heads should consider the Mini, which trades some volume for a smaller fit.

    same great headphone, but for regular heads. If you have a smaller head like me, check out the MINI version

    Hunter Macy, Founder @ Rendezvu

    These are super great headphones. I like the smaller version but not as loud. Can hear everything around you but also listen to music. It's great! Highly recommend.

    My Shokz OpenRun have become a must-have for my long-distance running. When I’m spending hours on the road or trail, I love being able to listen to music while still hearing what’s happening around me. They’re comfortable enough for long training runs and ultras, stay put mile after mile, and have become one of those pieces of gear I never want to start a long run without.
