Our take on the Shokz OpenRun Air (S803) Headphones

The Shokz OpenRun Air (S803) is a bone-conduction sport headphone that sits on the cheekbones and leaves the ear canal open, so you hear traffic, teammates and gym announcements while you listen. It uses 8th-generation bone conduction with Bluetooth 5.1 and PremiumPitch 2.0+, is IP67 sweat- and waterproof, and runs about 8 hours with a quick-charge top-up. It comes in two band sizes, with the OpenRun Mini band about half an inch shorter. Rivals in the open-ear space, such as the Shokz OpenRun Pro and OpenComm, add bass or a boom mic, but the Air stays the lightest and simplest of the line.

About the Shokz OpenRun Air (S803) Headphones

The Shokz OpenRun Air (S803) is a pair of wireless sport headphones, formerly known as Aeropex. It uses 8th generation bone conduction technology and an open-ear design with no earbuds, so you can hear your surroundings while you listen. Shokz describes it as its lightest headphone to date.

Sound comes from bone conduction, Bluetooth 5.1 and PremiumPitch 2.0+. The headphones are IP67 rated against sweat and water, and a moisture detection alert helps ensure safe charging. They are not intended for swimming.

The battery lasts up to 8 hours, and a 10-minute Quick Charge gives up to 1.5 hours of use. Simple commands let you play, pause, skip and go back a track, for music, calls, audiobooks and podcasts. Battery life varies with the type of audio, volume, temperature and the output of the USB port used for charging.

Questions and answers

How is the OpenRun Air different from the OpenRun Pro?
The Air is lighter and simpler, with 8th-generation bone conduction and about 8 hours of battery. The Pro adds bass-focused drivers and a slightly different fit at a higher tier.
Can I swim with the OpenRun Air?
No. It is IP67 sweat- and waterproof, but Shokz says it is not intended for swimming, and a moisture alert guards charging.
How long does the battery last and how fast is quick charge?
Shokz rates it at about 8 hours of listening. Quick charge gives a usable top-up in a short charge, enough for a workout.
Which size should I pick, standard or Mini?
The Mini band is about half an inch shorter than the standard band. Pick Mini if the standard band feels loose or sits too far back on your head.
Does it work for calls?
Yes. It has a built-in microphone for calls and voice assistants over Bluetooth 5.1, though wind noise outdoors can affect call clarity.
What is in the box?
The headphones, a magnetic charging cable and documentation. A carry case is not included.
