Community Reviews
Shokz OpenRun SE is an open ear bone conduction headset that fits workouts, cycling, running, and everyday listening while keeping ears open to surroundings. Sound is described as surprisingly decent for bone conduction, though it will not match regular headphones and can feel only okay or not loud enough outdoors. The magnetic proprietary charger is the main tradeoff, with waterproofing benefits but a risk if the cable is lost. Battery life is also reported around four hours, and it is not intended for swimming.
The magnetic 2-pin charging connector can help keep the headphones waterproof.
The open-ear bone-conduction design can be useful for cycling and running while still hearing surroundings.
The OpenRun Pro 2 model can offer universal USB-C charging instead of a proprietary magnetic cord.
The Aeroplex model can last around five years with heavy outdoor use before a power-button failure.
The proprietary magnetic charging cable can be inconvenient and can be difficult to replace if misplaced.
The OpenRun SE sound can be only OK and may not get loud enough for outdoor running.
Battery life can be limited to about four hours, which can be short for longer workouts.
After warranty ends, support can be limited to discounts without repair or exchange options.

Long time supporter of the brand here (back to when they were called "Aftershokz"). Been singing them praises for the 5 years I've owned pairs and gifted 3 others.
My own set, Openrun Pro, just faulted. It's not entirely useable in its current state. PITA to turn on and off. The set is 3 years old. Best customer support could do was to offer me a discount on full price purchases that doesn't even beat their current Prime Day Sale... told me once it's out of warranty, their hands are tied. No repair options. No exchange program. No rebate of significance, imho.
To their credit, CS was responsive - just unable to do much in the way of satisfying a legitimate concern with the product after the set was out of warranty.
I love this brand, I use them for walking, jogging, working out, biking. I love that you can still hear when using them, I also love that they don't get drenched in sweat. Be aware since they aren't in your ear canal, they won't be as loud as ear buds but they won't eventually cause you to go deaf either.
