I love my aftershokz (I have an older version) and use them predominantly at the gym, and listening while driving or walking as I really want to hear what’s going on around me. I find the wind from riding a bIke is too loud to use them. If you are an audiophile and looking for really high sound quality this isn’t designed for you. If you want to hear both your music/book clearly and what’s going on around you these are perfect. If you use them on a flight you will likely need the included earplugs and they has been my biggest issue. Back to your question about which version. The pro is marginally better sounding and slightly better charging but costs almost 30% more - for my usage that wasn’t worth it. Answer from Popular-Mall4836 on reddit.com

r/Earbuds on Reddit: Should I get the Shokz Openrun or Openrun Pro…?
February 12, 2023 - This was really helpful as I was just about to buy my third pair of Shokz (left driver failed on first one after 2,yrs and one day lol, I destroyed the second one but didn't like the delivery of spoken word content on my long runs and it really didn't like my sweat). So openRun regular it is.

Hi there- Shokz here! The size difference between the standard OpenRunPro and the mini is 0.83". Some customers find that the OpenRun Pro Mini provides a more snug fit and less stress on the back of the ears. Having at least a 1-inch gap between your head and the headband is normal. On our Shokz website, search for the OpenRun Pro, select "Buy Now" and there is a video to help find the best fit for you! Please reach out to our Customer Happiness Team if you have any other questions. Thanks!

The Minis are a little shorter around my neck. This snug fit provided me with better bone contact and they do not bounce on my neck. I'm glad I tried both sizes on before I left the store.

Shokz OpenRun Pro review and comparison – Heart Runner Girl
February 28, 2022 - The OpenRun and the OpenRun Pro are two different models. However, the Aeropex and OpenRun are almost the same product, but they just changed the name and added quick charging. All of the Shokz product names now start with Open, it’s the second part of the name by which you can tell them apart.

r/headphones on Reddit: Shokz openrun se costco review
February 16, 2025 -
Se is just a costco branding apparently so they can undersell bigger box stores without price matching. Nice way around that. So they are essentially just original openruns.
Review is simple...
Love the idea. 10/10 for that.
Listening to music is God awful though. I don't know how anyone can praise the sound quality. There is no way it would ever amp me up even one iota to work out harder or push myself. I think I could get more amped up from listening to nothing. I think using these for music would actually take away adrenaline and just frustrate me. 1/10 for that.
2/10 total because it might be more convient than having my laptop or cellphone play music while doing the dishes but sounds almost the exact same. So I can at least use them for that.
If you like the audio quality, that's totally fine. This isn't an attack on your personal preferences. Don't take offense as I've seen some people do. You do you.

I'm sitting here at work with the shokz openmove. The cheapest of the bunch. Utter overpriced trash! With my earplugs in listening to the openmove it sounds like I'm underwater and the sound is coming from outside the water if you get what I mean. The sound quality is SHIT. People who claim shokz sound good deserve an ice pick to the ear. There should be consequences to these claims. In this case I don't believe in free speech.

I am wanting a pair of Shokz OpenRun and my measurements (8") put me in the mini (under 9.5"). However, I am only seeing Black Friday deals for the regular OpenRun. I wondered if any other petite ladies had tried the regular OpenRun size and if the mini size is truly necessary.

I thought my head was the bigger side (was on the cusp of the regular measurement) but I got the minis and glad I did. There’s still ample room between my head and the band and I’ve wondered who’s head is big enough to need the regular ones. I also have long hair and put my hair in a high ponytail braid when I run. The braid smacks the band for a while until it’s smacked into the right spot which is kind of annoying, but would be extra annoying if the band was bigger. I ordered mine off the actual shokz website, their BF sale starts tomorrow and the minis should be on sale.

Wondering if someone can help me out! I just got the shokz open run 2 pro, but trying to decide if i need to swap them out for the mini. I was just on the edge of the sizes - it said 9.25” and below measurement should get mini and i was 9.5”. They fit roughly 2 inches from the back of my head which in itself doesn’t bother me, but when i look up even a bit they move around. Wondering if this is normal, or if it would improve if i got the mini?
