Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my second pair of Shokz. My last pair lasted almost 5 years which is unheard of with anything Bluetooth it seems these days. After my first pair died, I decided to try a cheap but highly reviewed alternative and it just wasn’t the same quality or feel. My new pair of Shokz delivers just like my old pair. They fit great and are very comfortable. I listen to a lot of podcasts and deal with phone calls…. they’re perfect for that. They do a good job with music, but don’t have high expectations and expectations on quality. Battery life is exceptional and I usually just have to charge these once a week after listening to them at work . I really can’t recommend these enough. I also love the little storage pouch that they come with, and that is of high quality as well.

I LOVE these. I have a desk job so keeping the volume low allows me to hear and speak with everyone around. However, I can turn them up and have the opposite! They’re comfortable, don’t hurt my ears, great sound, and long lasting charge! I am SOOOO happy with my new Shokz!

Quality sound and very easy to use. The battery lift is excellent

Works great the battery lasts all day. Happy to make this purchase

Battery lasts 12 hours+ regularly. Only issue is that it can bother my ears after 8+ hours.

I enjoy the fit and the comfort of these headphones, but I’m not convinced that their “7th generation bone conduction technology” is any good at all. In fact, after using several pairs of similar headphones, I’m more and more convinced that “bone conduction” is mostly a marketing term that was made up in order to sell a different style of headphones. The sound quality is nowhere near as good as earbuds, or over the ear headphones. Audio sounds flat and there is nearly no bass at all. The 3 built in equalizer options (Vocal Booster Mode, Earplug Mode, and Standard Mode) are not particularly helpful. But, despite bone conduction being a bit of a gimmick, the innovative off-ear fit does make them worthwhile for situations when the user wants to remain aware of ambient / surrounding noise. Instead of sounding best when pressing on the bones of the upper jaw, the audio quality (and volume) most improves as you move the ear pieces closer to the ear canal (even without physical contact). When the volume is low, audio cannot be heard by those around you, but when the volume reaches 75%, noise is noticeable to those not wearing the headset. And, at 85% the vibrations create an uncomfortable tingling sensation. The 6 hour battery life is sufficient and the USB-C charging port is a drastic improvement over Micro USB. The comfort and fit is where the AfterShokz shine. They hover over the back of the neck, but manage to stay in place through running, jumping, and even lying down during workouts. They can also be worn comfortably with glasses and hats. ...Perhaps one of the best features is their ability to connect with two devices simultaneously. While working from home (Due to COVID-19 restrictions) I have been able to have them connected to my laptop and also to my phone - while the off ear design still allows me to hear when my Family needs to communicate with me. (No more having to pull out my earbuds every time I think somebody needs to ask me a question.) The location of the volume controls would be more convenient if they were on top of the right earpiece, but pressing the multi-use / track change button is much more comfortable that wireless Bluetooth earbuds (which have you press an earbud deep into your ear in order to change tracks or answer calls). If audio quality is your primary focus, do not purchase these headphones. If you love bass, these headphones are not for you. If you like your music loud, these headphones will be a huge disappointment. But, if you are primarily looking for convenient headphones with a comfortable fit that allow for situational awareness, these headphones will meet your needs.

Mindfulness and Flow: During meditation and yoga, the ability to hear ambient sounds while listening to calming music or guided sessions has significantly enhanced my practice. It's this balance of being connected to both the external environment and my audio choice that makes these headphones stand out. Sound Quality: Bone conduction technology offers a different kind of sound experience. While it might not match the deep bass and noise isolation of traditional over-ear headphones, it provides clear and consistent audio, perfect for the types of activities I'm engaged in. Battery Life and Durability: I've been impressed with the battery life, easily getting through multiple sessions without needing a recharge. They've also held up well against sweat and the general wear and tear of daily use. In conclusion, the Shockz Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones are a versatile, comfortable, and durable choice, especially for those who lead an active lifestyle or require an unobtrusive audio solution for focused work or relaxation practices.

Great set of head phones, comfortable and easy to use. Clear sound while listening to music, phone call or your favorite podcast. The feature i enjoy the most is That it rest outside the ear giving me the ability to still hear and capture aounds in my general surroundings. Iys not bulky and has a great battery life. I would recommend this product.

It cost more than $50 but its well worth it. Great sound and it allows you to hear the rest o the world while listening to your favorite music or podcast. Fits comfortably on the head and doesn't go flying off. Great sound quality. Worth the price I would buy them again and again. Good battery life too.

I love these. After awhile of wearing regular earbuds my ears always end up hurting with these there is no pain and the sound is good while still being able to hear what is going on around me. The battery lasts a long time usually makes it though my 10 hr shift at work.

Buy these, if you need to be aware when you are outdoors. Shokz are the current best solution for outdoor awareness. You can pay more for other models but I found the OpenMove to be outstanding and unlike the more expensive models does not require a proprietary charger. As someone who is very active in the outdoors with walks, dog walks, and even jogging at times, I am a big believer in staying alert for cyclists, scooter-ists, and traffic. I have used a number of wireless earbuds on my walks in a variety of ways to stay alert. I have worn the one bud in one ear, worn the earbuds that do not seal in the ear, and used the transparency mode of earbuds that seal the ears. Each of these methods offered some effectiveness but had downsides. The one earbud made me feel like I was hearing limited on one side. The open earbuds were good (Jabra 45e) but with the sound right at the ear tended to overpower ambient surrounding sounds still. The Jabra 45e also tended to hurt my ear for some reason. I would rate the open ear buds the second best method still. Finally, I just don't find transparent method transparent enough and still find myself being surprised by people coming up on me. This brings me to the Shokz Open Move. I thought of the whole bone conduction technology as a gimmick. I also read of the poor sound quality so I never considered them. On a recent trip, I was in an airport and visited one of the headphone stores that had a display of the Shokz headphones to try. I tried them and to my surprise I really liked them. The airport with all of its crowd noise and announcements gave the perfect background to test the models. My ears were open and the music was clear and understandable, and frankly more than good enough. The vibrations were not annoying and the sound was clear. Shokz ran a sale shortly after I returned home and I picked up the basic model, the OpenMove on sale at BestBuy. I chose the OpenMove because bone conduction is not going to replace my Beats Fit Pro when I am seriously listening to music, so I did not need or expect audiophile music so did not see value in the upgrades. The second and truly just as big a reason, it charges by USB-C so no need for proprietary chargers. My OpenMove Shokz I use daily on my walks. The sound is fine for music and for podcasts or Sirius XM programming. I am the most aware of people, bikes, dogs, traffic, etc., than any other earbud solution. Here is the rationale for my score, 4 for sound quality because they do not seal the ears for immersion. But 5 for being open like I need when I am outdoors. 5 for Battery Life. I have never run out of battery after a week or so, I will charge them out of good habit. But I am usually out one to two hours a day although they might not be playing music or a podcast the whole time. 4 for connectivity. This is nuanced. The Shokz always connect immediately to my iPhone 13 Pro. I have never had an issue playing music or a podcast. What I have had is on a few incoming phone calls the call did not come through on the Shokz and instead answered on my phone. It has happened a few times and it has not dropped a call just shifted to the phone. Of all the different earbuds I have bought and tried, I now used these the most.

Great sound quality (not the most bass) however, for not being inserted into, or covering your ear at all they sound great. 4 full days of use at work with mixed music and media streaming and they’re still at 20%. For 80 dollars these are fantastic. Only caveat is they sit a bit weird on the head for longer haired folks like me. Livable, especially for the price. I highly recommend these to those who are looking for something different or need to be able to hear their surroundings while also enjpying music!

This product is great it doesn't case discomfort like the ones that sit in your ears .Great sound quality and hold charge for a long time . overall great product

I usually use ipods but when walking or working out they always seem to work there way out where i have to keep pushing them back into place. I was about to buy beats over the ear but decided to try these and they work perfect. I can listen to music,take calls and still hear what is going on around me without having to push anything in my ear. If you lay back on a pillow they do hit the back of the headset but when working out or at work they dont cause any issues not even when lifting using a bench. It just took a few tries to find that sweet spot especially after only using in the ear headsets previously. The sound quality is good but is different in terms of bass and being very loud when comparing to in ear headsets. The experience in listening is different but depends on your listening preferences. The controls are easy to use and locate when wearing the headset. Just remember you do not put them on top of your ear, the go over the ear and lay in front. Overall i am very happy with my purchase and have used them for over a month now daily. Great peoduct so far and excellent for quick charging and long battery life. Definitely worth trying out if you are interested and hate when ear buds fall out or stop you from hearing whats going on around you. Its nice to listen to music that no ine can hear and have a conversationnif someone walks up. Hope this helps!

I love these things, awesome, sound great on radio and phone answering, pair super fast and last for all day at work, no problem, charge fast, and you can hear everything around you, unlike the "earbuds" that go in your ear, where you have to leave one out of one of your ears, if you are hesitating, stop and just "bite the bullet", fantastic and you will never regret the purchase. You can actually wear a convential "earbud" type headset with these and hear both perfectly, best invention since foreman grill, air fryer, and A/C! no kidding

The Shokz headphones produce a clear, crisp sound and does a decent job of cancelling out other environmental noise, even though they sit outside of your ear. The controls to adjust volume, advance tracks and power on the headphones are positioned conveniently and are easy to operate while doing activities. The headphones charge quickly and uses a convenient USB C connection. The play time after a full charge is an adequate 4-5 hours. The bass response for the headphones is not as good as over the hear headphones and becomes distorted at higher volumes. Overall though, the headphones are well designed and are great for listening while doing physical activities, like yard work or exercising.

Good sound, good battery life. The only issue is it makes my ears look a little bumped out. Haven’t noticed on other versions except for this one

I love my shokz! I don’t like things in my ears so these are awesome so glad I bought them! Great quality, and great battery time ❤️

Great product and easy to you. Sounds good and fits good over my ears! Oh yea not to mention the battery life is amazing!

As a recreational jogger these are fantastic. Seems like most drivers, bike riders, and scooter riders have little regard for us pedestrians. These allow me to enjoy my listening whilst easily hearing my surroundings. Battery life lasts me a week and I typically jog 4 to 5 times anywhere from a 5k to a 10k.
