Thank you. I just set up my new Open Run headset as I watched this video. Well done!

2:31 check with the charging port is magnetic can be a great help for those of us who are blind, or visually impaired, and who don’t want to mess with the smaller end of a USB cord all the time. Plus, it can be better for those individuals who don’t quite take care of their technology as good as they should, bending the pins in the small end of the USB port, just by being too rough with the unit.

Thank you so much. You made it simple and saved lots of time reading manual and checking others.

[maritzachesney]

Excellent explanation
I tried to listen several others but You were great explaining step by step. Now my it works.

Thank you for the detailed guide. I have an Openrun Pro that my wife is currently using. As you know, the lady's hands-on skills are relatively poor, and this guide is just right for her. I am currently using Wissonly Hi Runner, which is much cheaper. My family status determines that I can only use cheaper products :). However, I think Hi Runner is also good.

2:54 in keeping with the current theme of my comments, the quoteplus “button is the bottom one on the right hand side. It has two tactile bumps on it, which means they are raised those of us who are visually impaired or blind. Can’t tell the difference between it and the upper “minus “button, only having a single dot on top.

Worth noting on the charge side, Shokz tell you not to use USB sources capable of >1A (so basically any modern USB adapter) and not to leave them connected once it's turned blue. This doesn't appear to be a normal safe USB charging system which self terminates and self limits current. Which is odd given that they don't provide a charger...

Thank you! Everything I wanted to know. And thank you again for enunciating when you speak.

5:49 I really like the bone conduction feature, as these probably could be used for orientation and mobility as follows. The person who is blind, originally impaired as pair these headphones with their Wii WALK smart cane. Wow, they are walking down the street, of course, using their own M skills as taught by their Owen M instructor. They can still hear their environment around them, well at the same time, hearing your directions given by we WALK‘s GPS system. it is very, very important, extremely important that is, to have your ear canals, open, whenever doing any orientation and mobility training. This is why I like these headphones, and will recommend them to an orientation and mobility specialist that I know. Of course, these are only to be used for private listening of weed. WALK or Orcam, Mayeye pro, if you’re on the bus and reading the schedule for the next stop with the Orcam.

Question, can you rewind instead of skipping ahead, like a podcast or audio book? Thank you so much

[pging]

very good mate. This is an A++ concise video summary, simply perfect. I congratulate you. I recognise greatness when I see it.

[Smucko]

Two questions: Is there a way to tell how much the battery is charged? And is it possible to watch seat-back movies on airplanes with these? Great video, btw.

[YolandaGarcia-mq]

Hi, I enjoyed your video, it's very informative. My question is can I have my Shoks openrun set paired with my cell phone, but can I also pair it my tablet and laptop? 😊

[VSLComputers]

Thanks for the video! Question... let's say you walk up to your Shokz... how can you tell if they are on or off?

[sandyglass]

Can you pair this device to a smart tv that has Bluetooth. If so what are the steps?

[ashleighpiccinino]

I would assume these could charge for using the USB port on a PC, correct? Of course, using a regular adapter would also work, correct?

Those comments with timestamps should be read and commented to that once, as they deal with Blindness specific applications of these headphones. Another one, but it’s just for you. The orientation of the headphones is very good, such that whenever the person who is blind or visually impaired, puts that your pieces against their face, moving towards the back of their head, they can very easily know how to put these headphones on as they slide them down, and they just fit… Sort of like glasses for the eyes, but “your glasses. they are also very comfortable, at least for me. However, for those with Pechtel sensitivities, they could, of course, use other types of your phones if these do not work, or physically hurt. Thank you for the video, and I will definitely share it around the community of special education, if that is OK with you.

Great vid.
But the question I put in to get to your vid was:- "Can I use SHOKZ OpenRun Pro with Google Assistant?"
Is there a "Hey Google" ability?
Cheers!

I got the Shokz headset as a gift for my sister. We paired it on her iPhone, but the pairing doesn't last!!! The Shokz show up on the list, but as being not connected. Every time she wants to use them, she has to pair again to make them connect. Have you heard of this problem and how do I fix it? She has at least 2 other devices paired to Bluetooth (car and also something separate that says, "Hands Free").

[RudolphJohnson-pund]

Great video perfect explanation of headphone setup and usage

[ashleighpiccinino]

1:54 I like the fact that there’s not many buttons on these headphones. The reason why I like that fact is because I would love to try using these in special education. I am a YouTube watcher who is blind, but I really think these could be used for part of the special education curriculum (orientation and mobility). my comments, well, of course, I have timestamps where available. For this one, people who might be a little slow… Have cognitive delays… Will probably also like the fact that only three buttons exist on these headphones. They are very easy to use, and other words.
