A: Hi there- Shokz here! Someone sitting immediately next to you on a plane might be able to hear faint audio from Shokz OpenRun headphones, but generally, only if the volume is high (over 75%) or if the cabin is very quiet. However, at moderate volume levels—which is typical for most users—the sound leakage is minimal, and others likely will not hear your music or calls. Please reach out if you have any other questions. Thank you!

A: Hello- Shokz here! Yes, Shokz OpenRun headphones are fully compatible with Windows 11 laptops via Bluetooth, allowing for seamless connection and audio.

A: Hello-Shokz here! The OpenRun headphones are sweat-resistant (IP55), handling sweat and light rain, but not fully waterproof, meaning they're great for intense workouts but shouldn't be submerged or used for swimming.

A: Hi Q, thanks for reaching out about Shokz OpenRun Bluetooth Wireless Headphones. Without more specific information about the pair you have, it's impossible to say definitively if they are the mini or regular-sized ones. Look for any size indicators on the headphones themselves or refer to the original packaging if you still have it. If not, measuring your head is the best way to know which size would fit you best. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: Hi Lesley, thanks for reaching out about Shokz OpenRun Bluetooth Wireless Headphones Yes, the Shokz OpenRun headphones can read text messages aloud, but this functionality is controlled by accessibility settings on your phone, not the headphones themselves.

A: Hi Tanz, thanks for reaching out about Shokz OpenRun Bluetooth Wireless Headphones. Microphone for Phone Calls: Yes, Shokz OpenRun headphones do have a built-in microphone. Specifically, they often feature dual noise-canceling microphones, designed to improve call clarity. Compatibility with Microsoft Teams: Shokz OpenRun headphones, being Bluetooth headphones, generally can work with Microsoft Teams. However, user experiences vary. There are reports of users successfully using them for Teams calls. There are also reports of users having issues with windows operating systems, and having to take extra steps to get them to work correctly. It is also worth noting that Shokz also has a line of headphones called OpenComm, that are specifically designed for communication, and have a boom mic for enhanced voice pickup. Therefore, while they should work, there can be some issues depending on the operating system of the computer being used. In summary, you can expect to use the Shokz OpenRun for phone calls and, in most cases, with Microsoft Teams. However, potential compatibility quirks with certain operating systems should be kept in mind.
