SHOKZ OpenRun SE Headphones. Buy or Pass?
Shokz is horrible.
Who should get the Shokz OpenRun?
Outdoor athletes will appreciate how the OpenRun keeps their ears open to passing cars while also relaying music to motivate them through workouts. Those with in-the-ear (ITE) or invisible (IIC) hearing aids can use this pair of bone conduction headphones since it bypasses the outer ear. Any listener who has an aversion to sticking things in their ears will like how this pair of headphones keeps the ears completely unoccluded.
What accessories do you get with the Shokz OpenRun?
Shokz includes a drawstring travel pouch, a sports headband, a magnetic two-pin charging cable, and the OpenRun headset.
Can you swim with the Shokz OpenRun?
No, if you are a swimmer, you should check out the Shokz OpenSwim or Shokz OpenSwim Pro instead

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.
