After determining that I must have a head that appears huge, but is actually way too small for my body, I snagged a pair of minis, cried, and then drank coffee. You know, like a typical work morning.
Ah man, just bought it for same price from the shokz website. Could have gotten $4.49 back in rewards if purchased at Amazon. Oh well. By the way, first time using bone conduction headphones and they sound amazing.
The Mini is also on sale for the same price, it's the same exact thing but with a smaller "neck band", so it won't stick way out from people with tiny heads or ears that are way on the back side of their normal sized head, and maybe kids too I suppose. Love my Aeropex (same as openrun), they sound way better than all the reviews state and I love that they're waterproof, and the magnetic charging cable is a nice bonus.

I have a question...Im not sure of what model I have maybe Titanium whatever it is was their first higher end model to come out. Do you have any experience with the older versions vs these new ones and if so would newer version be worth upgrade. I guess upgrade to me would be mostly fit, not sure how to explain bc I need normal size but ones I have in winter with a hat kind of a pain wondering if the connecting band around back of head any different if that makes sense thanks
I only have the Aeropex which are the same as the OpenRun so I don't know how they differentiate from the Titanium. I will say that these (which are just rebranded Aeropex I believe) are great for the price. The way these fit though would probably be similar to the the titanium's, just a tad smaller where the thick area is.

I had a pair of the older Titanium and Air models to compared against the Aeropex which is now called the OpenRun. In terms of sound, I feel the OpenRun is slightly better and louder than the Titanium with less sound leakage. The Air while similar in weight never sounded as good as the Titanium or OpenRun. The biggest benefit of the OpenRun is the battery life and general improved fit of the headphones that to me was better than Titanium and far better than the Air which never really fit well on my head.
I primarily use the OpenRun for video calls all day for work, and frankly, I love them. The only downside when using with macOS 12.x or higher is that you need to disable any auto-gain features as macOS will mute the mic input due to the aggressive auto-gain input. So if you're using this with discord, zoom, teams, or google meet, you'll be required to turn off auto-gain otherwise you're going to mute randomly during meetings. If using for Google Meet, you'll want to use this "Disable Automatic Gain Control"[google.com] extension for Chrome.
If using the OpenRun with iOS, Android, or Windows 10, I haven't had any muting issues with the headset, it is a macOS specific problem above 11.x.

This is super helpful information about the models. Sometimes with the Titanium when they are connected to my Garmin for music if paused a long time the music will not come back on but I still get the Garmin notifications (pace, heart rate) maybe has something to do with gain control. Thanks for this info about fit.

Good info for everyone to know about the rebrand also the comparative band around the back thanks
I have never tried this (bone conduction) technology before, is this something good for a starter or overkill? I use apple's Airpods while doing sports like running marathons, gym workouts and tennis or for zoom calls on mac.
I have these and they are great for what they are. If you are an audiophile or are looking for amazing bass, etc you will likely be disappointed. The biggest advantage to these is you can still hear your environment, so they are perfect if you want to listen to podcasts, music, etc in certain environments(office where someone may speak to you) or doing activities (running, biking, etc where you'd like to know there is a car approaching from behind you). I use and love them for podcasts and some light music listening. But, if perfect music sound quality is what you are seeking, these are not it.
I bought the mini version about six months ago and love them. I'm a female with a smaller head and they work well for running. I wear glasses and have small ears and these work perfectly. They have good battery life and pair with my Garmin watch.
I'd previously had a pair of titanium and these are notably better. Although some of that could be a better fit.
The only downsides are the proprietary charger and I can't use them muted for Teams meetings at work. When I mute them, they beep every so many seconds which is useless. I emailed the manufacturer and wasn't impressed with their fix.
So, I just use them for running or listening to music in the office and they're great.
One last note, don't expect these to sound like expensive headphones. The sound quality is good enough, but not over the top impressive.
My experience for gym use is that it isn't very good because it can be very noisy in there from the people talking and the music they play on the overhead speakers (depending on your gym). However, I do think these are excellent for anywhere else. I particularly use them when i run or bike in public so I can hear my surroundings in case some random car is about the jump the curb and kill me.
These work great for work if you don't want to wear headphones all day. Plenty of coworkers use them. They even make one with a boom mike.
The downside is the audio for music is just ok. If you are used to good headphones these won't sound as good as headphones. For audio books they work great though.

Good if you want to be able to hear your environment while listening to stuff. The sound quality of any bone conduction headphones will not match regular headphones. With that being said i think the quality of sound is still pretty good. You're not gonna hear perfect bass, or sometimes none at all if the song has it at a deeper frequency (like 808 drums), but otherwise I think they're pretty good.
I only ever use 1 earbud because I only listen to podcasts and need to be able to hear my environment (kids or wife). I still have a hard time hearing them even with just 1 earbud.
I keep wondering if something like this would be better.

Same, I just ordered a pair due to all the positive reviews in this thread.
I did a test of these and the pro version, they absolutely sound like a $30 headphone. I returned both pairs.
I ended up buying a $20 xaiomi version via aliexpress, they aren't as comfortable but there is no difference in sound quality.
If you value the piece of mind/warranty support maybe it's worth the $70 premium, but for me it was not.
Where did you get the xaiomi ones for 20? I see some on AliExpress that are labeled in the description as xaiomi but seem to be delivered as something else by many purchasers.
