mojawa Run Plus Bone Conduction Headphones, IP68 Waterproof, 32GB MP3

I compared Mojawa Run Plus with Shokz Openrun Pro (regular and mini) and they both have their strongpoints. My main usage case is road and mountain biking, while also using them around the house (mechanic work, chores, etc). I have a smaller head (55.5CM circumference). TLDR: The Mojawas win, no contest. They stay on your head way better, don’t move around, have better buttons/controls, and sound about the same. USE THE APP! You can use other sound profiles and the Swim profile is great for non-swim workouts. I returned the Shokz and kept the Mojawas. The Mojawas sit tight in front and behind your ear and win for fit. This is a BIG win, in my opinion. They really feel planted. They seem to hold in place really well. The band also rides higher around your head, which keeps it from getting caught in your hair. I'm a guy and the Openrun Pro Mini's sometimes got stuck in the short hair behind my head and got irritating, so I ended up with the non-Mini. The Shokz Pro really only hold on the front of the ear and the rest kinda just hangs there . I think this is a big miss on their design. The Mojawas also do better with glasses on than the Shokz, but it wasn't a deal-breaker. The Shokz require more of a sweet spot than the Mojawas did, because of the speakers, and they often fall out of this spot on their own. I can’t imagine running with them on. The Mojawa wins for control interface, both Volume and the multi-function button. Hands down, no comparison. The Mojawa touch slider for volume gets a little annoying at times, but still less annoying than the tiny Shokz buttons. The Mojawa multi-function button is the entire 'lobe' whereas the Shokz have a tiny little one. The Mojawa sound profiles in the app make a bigger difference than Shokz. The Shokz win on sound quality, marginally. Having the open speakers that point into your ear makes for a fuller sound. The Mojawas sound good, especially if you use their app and use the Swim sound profile. The Mojawas do have better bass because they hold on your head better. I will note that the Mojawas seemed to vibrate the bones a little more, likely because they are so secured to the head. This didn't bother me after the noticing the initial change. This sound quality difference doesn’t even come close to the benefits of the Mojawa’s improved fit, so it’s a moot point for me. The sound effectiveness is the same during cycling with winds and whatnot, both are unaffected by wind, both do what they're supposed to do. I did find myself always having a higher volume on the Shokz. After using them for multiple 4hr+ bike rides, I can say I prefer the Mojawa sound profiles overall since I listen to bassier music. With the Mojawas being IP68 certified, they’re also a better choice for working out in general. The Shokz have open speaker grills and stuff does get in there. Both brands charge quickly and seem to last about the same amount of time. I always recharged after my 4 hour rides and they were still on “medium” battery.

In an age of “dupes” where the “dupe” might not be as good as the original, here is an exception where the “dupe” FAR exceeds the much more pricy and feature-poor competitor, which in this case is the popular Shokz. The audio quality on these headphones was tuned by Academy Award winning technicians, and it shows. I remember using the first bone conducting headphones waaay back in the day with a little-known device called the “Swimp3”, which was a waterproof music player (a plug and drop and drag) style mp3 player that could go under the elastics of your swim goggles. It made for incredible rhythm and breathing and your swim quality was super elevated. My Swimp3 worked for YEARS and it was reasonably priced and it held 256 megabytes which, back then, was plenty for a swimming playlist. Fast forward to today’s vast array of bone conduction headphones and it’s pretty much this vs. the Run Plus. This device far exceeds the specs of the competitor because it IS waterproof as a standard feature instead of having to pay $180 for that waterproof in the Run Plus Pro. The color selections are so thoughtful, to have pink is very playful. The phone calls are crisp and clear, and the controls are very easy to learn and use. These are comfortable, and the battery life is WEEKS. The charging port is uniquely designed to be streamlined and waterproof. The Fit is super comfortable and your ears won’t even know they’re there. The Bluetooth is far reaching, and I can leave my phone inside the house while I do yard work just outside. This is way better range than my Bose headphones. It’s been about 5-6 months of me using this and it’s an excellent way to take calls, listen to any content/music, while walking outside and maintaining situational awareness, and getting caught in the rain ain’t no thang at all. Really, this is just better than the other brands.

My wife owns a pair of Shokz, and I love the bone conduction concept. She paid a lot for hers, and I think they sound awful. So I researched these headphones- and the reviews were solid. I had low expectations going in- but I didn’t care because I wanted something to pair with my Apple Watch while I swim. I thought it was be fun to listen to audiobooks, the news, or even some music despite the fact that the sound quality would likely be a hot mess. I didn’t research enough- but I’m posting here to save you the hassle. Sound Quality: If you’re buying these hoping to have a satisfying music listening experience, take that of your list now. The GOOD news is they sounded as good as the Shokz for a fraction of the cost. The BAD news is that’s a really low bar, and these were awful sounding. Function: the headset paired easily with my watch, and I was eager to get in the pool and give them a shot! The idea of drowning out the screaming kids at the town pool or just flowing around enjoying an audiobook was exciting. The reality: THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW that I didnt see in any of my my research (and this goes all EVERY brand of headphones): BLUETOOTH CAN’T PASS THROUGH WATER!!! I don’t know how I didn’t see this anywhere! I put the headphones on and thought “ok- they don’t sound great- but at least it’s something”, and worked my way into the pool. THE MOMENT MY HAND (and watch) were submerged- I lost sound. It took me a minute to make that connection. So I figured I’d be clever. Forget the watch. I’ll set my phone closer to the pool and connect to it. But again- the minute my head went into the water- even just leaving back to float- the connect cut out. At that point, I got out of the pool and did some googling… and that’s when I learned about the limitations of water and Bluetooth. The bottom line: this unit comes with internal memory so you can load a bunch of music to enjoy while swimming. That skirts the whole Bluetooth issue. It’s also worth noting that when you have this on the your head goes under water, the sound changes DRAMATICALLY! It’s MUCH louder and you suddenly get MUCH more bass! While that sounds cool- it’s very disconcerting when using. Every time your head comes up out of the water, the music gets really quiet, and then BOOM- back to blasting. I hope this helps someone understand the limitations- not just for this unit, but for all headphones in this style.

I’m pretty happy with this purchase, because my workout experience has elevated as a result. I use these headphones when I’m swimming, mostly doing water aerobics, not so much laps. The reason being is because it cuts out due to the blue not being able to work in the water. There’s a way to set up pre-programmed songs, but I’m not gonna sit and fiddle around with that too much, I do have ADHD. Nevertheless is almost like I can’t even go in the water without these headphones. I just take them off when I’m doing the laps. I also have a dog that I take for long walks, sometimes it can rain or maybe too hot outside and I’m sweating. It’s just nice to know that I don’t have to worry about my Headphones. I’ve gotten the headphones, wet a couple of times and they seem to be fine, but there was a point where my headphones started to Trip out and the button wasn’t working properly I contacted the customer service and they easily replaced my headphones, which I really appreciate for company to make sure that their Customers are satisfied. I definitely recommend buying the bone conductor headphones because they are better for your overall hearing. I do like that. It allows me to be able to hear what’s going on around me to maintain my situational awareness. The only real setback that I have regarding the headphones is that when people call me, they’re not able to hear me very well. Otherwise, I Would recommend

Bought these awhile back. I swim for 1-3 hours 3-5 times a week, and found these to help provide music to an otherwise boring lap swim. While I found the functionality, waterproof ability and sound quality to be acceptable, these are lacking on battery life. I never got the 8 hours of usage time on a single charge. 3 hours was about the max battery life I experienced, and now, 18 months later, the fully charged battery gets maybe 40 minutes at best. I am scrapping these and trying a different brand. Edit: After posting my review, the manufacturer, Mojawa reached out to me via email looking to resolve my unhappiness with their product by sending me a full replacement. I was honestly shocked, because let's face it, most companies DON'T stand behind their products these days. Not only did they keep their word and ship me a new unit, I received it in 2 days from the date they contacted me AND they made sure to let me know this item has a 2 year warranty, and that they always respond within 24 hours to any customer service issues. I am very happy to have this item, functioning properly as it does make my swim time far less boring and more enjoyable. With the great customer service I received, I will gladly eat my words and change this review to 5 stars.

Update 4: I've been using these for over six months now and I'm updating my overall rating to 3 stars which is up from 1 star. The first pair failed after 72 days of having them. They were replaced within a week by the manufacturer after I reported their failure. The pair I received performed significantly better than the first pair and have continued to do so for months. I would recommend these as they do seem a good value for the price but I would also consider alternatives depending on what your requirements are. Based on the new pair these are my observations: Pros: - Extremely comfortable and well fitting. I have tried several types of bone conduction headphones and these are by far the most comfortable and most secure while swimming. I do not swim with a swim cap and I don't run the goggles over them and they never feel like they are going to fall off or move out of place. - The app is semi-useful - Shuffles in MP3 mode - Sounds great in MP3 mode while swimming - Their customer support has turned out to be really great. They respond to emails in a day and they've followed up to make sure everything is good. Cons: - The controls continue to be somewhat problematic but much better than the previous pair. It is easy to put them into MP3 mode but it is sometimes (probably about 1 in 10 times) problematic to lock the buttons after doing so requiring repeated attempts. - Bluetooth sound mode isn't great...not terrible but not great. - The shuffle isn't the greatest. I have 362 songs in storage, none of which are repeated in any capacity (e.g. live and album version). Just about every time I swim, I hear at least one song get repeated and it is usually within a few songs of being played. - Headset occasionally connects via Bluetooth to my phone while swimming in MP3 mode which means I have to put it back into MP3 mode while swimming or have the music constantly cutting out. This isn't supposed to happen according to the manufacturer unless a call comes in but it is happening without calls coming in. I simply turn off Bluetooth on my phone but an extra hassle I'd rather not do. - After six months on the same headset the battery life is starting to show signs of shrinkage. I was getting 5-6 hours of use, now I'm getting about 4 hours of use. On one swim recently the headphones went from "Battery Medium" (tells you whether the battery is High, Medium, or Low when you turn them on) to powering off in 45 minutes. Update 3: So after 72 days from purchase (not delivery), these headphones no longer work as they should. Today, 20 minutes into my 90 minute lap swim session, the headphones started beeping as if the main button was being pushed at random intervals. The headphones then began to power off and power on randomly. My assessment is that the waterproof headphones are in fact, not waterproof and water had somehow gotten in them and was basically shorting them out. In summary, these headphones have been straight garbage from the beginning. The only reason I got them was because of the MP3 shuffle availability. I have only used these headphones for swimming in a pool. They have never been submerged more than a foot. I only use them for lap swim as the $60 bone conducting headphones I have are superior for Blue Tooth connectivity so I use the $60 ones for biking, walking, and everything else when Blue Tooth is an option. Other updates follow so you can see what has been happening. Updating after nearly two months of use: Main thing is I should have sent them back. Unfortunately I didn't find another headset that had the features I wanted (primarily shuffle in MP3 mode). Good: - Sound quality in MP3 mode is decent - Comfort and staying in place - It has an app (doesn't really do much though) - It shuffles in MP3 mode Bad: - Sound quality in Bluetooth mode is flat - Locking the buttons is problematic at best and doesn't always work - Myriad issues while swimming with the buttons locked (stops playing, swaps between MP3 and Bluetooth I use these for swimming only in MP3 mode. I use my much cheaper pair for biking, walking, running, pretty much anything else. Original Review Follows (with no edits): At the time of writing this I have had these Mojawa headphones for 20 days. I purchased them almost exclusively to have a set of swimming bone conducting headphones with shuffle ability and they have failed at that...and more. I will be returning them in the next few days unless the company finally responds to multiple support emails I've sent with something other than an automated email that resolves nothing. The biggest issue with these headphones is the design. The volume control is situated behind your right ear. In MP3 mode the same 'button' also controls the play mode (shuffle, normal, single-track repeat). While swimming my ear would frequently make contact with this button and continuously adjust the volume and/or change the mode. In one length of a 25m pool I would usually go from shuffle, to single loop, to normal, to shuffle, to single loop on top of the volume getting adjust numerous times (sometimes all the way up and sometimes all the way down). The instructions contain nothing about being able to lock the buttons and you won't find it on their website either. However, their automated response (which is about the only response you get when you contact them) includes a link to a Google Doc that says if you press the button four times consecutively it will disable the touch controls. I tried this, numerous times for about 30 minutes. The results of my tries have been for it not to work or for the unit to completely lock up for several minutes (stops playing music and is unresponsive to changing between Bluetooth, MP3, or even power cycling). There are other issues as well. The sound quality in Bluetooth mode is not very good. There is an app you can get to change the sound a bit but it doesn't help. My other pair of $60 bone conducting headphones sound about the same in MP3 mode and significantly better in Bluetooth mode. The transfer speed of MP3 files to the headphones is very slow. The headset has 32GBs of storage but it would take hours to transfer that much data to the headphones. It also claims to have an 8 hour battery life but I think 5-6 is more realistic. The only plus to these is that they are more comfortable and they stay in place better than my cheaper pair but I have reverted back to using my cheaper pair while I look for another set of headphones with shuffle because they work just fine with fit and comfort, they sound better, and they don't ruin my workouts like the Mojawas do.

Update: Mojawa totally stands behind their product. After a bit more time, the headphones would charge fine, and connect via USB to download music, but the power button would not turn on. I reached out directly to Mojawa, and they did a warranty replacement quickly. Still swimming with them in MP3 mode, and listening to podcasts etc via Bluetooth. Awesome product. replaced them Had this headphone for 1 year now. It's simply a great design for any music or podcast listening activity, whether it's simply doing household chores or doing laps in the pool! The sound is really, really good - it won't match the sound of a studio recording engineer's needs but is perfect for podcasts and all-around music listening. Now, for expectations, if you expect to use Bluetooth while swimming, it ain't gonna happen. Bluetooth does NOT work underwater AT ALL, and I've tried others that claim it should. Nah. Instead, an easy double-tap and hold of the main button puts it in Mp3 mode. So, expect to travel back in time a bit, connect your Run Plus to your computer via its USB cable, and copy all of your Napster Mp3s, if you still got 'em! I listen to Podcasts mainly, and lots of Podcast apps allow you to download them as Mp3s. When listening in that mode, it's uninterrupted GREAT sound underwater. TIP (and this is not documented well): Quadruple Tap the main button, and it will LOCK the headphone so no water splashes will unintendedly click a button (water has that tendency to mess with touch-sensitive buttons). Choose to where earplugs with or without them, that may make the difference of how you like the sound quality through bone conduction. Then, when on dry land, double tap hold the button to put back in Bluetooth mode and enjoy your music or podcasts from your phone. Love the product, great choice.

UPDATE: They broke at the same spot as everyone else's who has left a review. So for that, I have to take 2 stars away. They did work fine for almost 2 years of heavy use (5 days a week at the gym), but seeing how they all seem to break at the same spot, they need to be redesigned better. A spring-metal insert for support would solve this problem. And before I even had the chance to add some glue, the earpiece connection apparently broke as well, so it's down to only the right side working. I also purchased these at $150 (which I thought was a lot at the time) and saw them recently at $99 (not on sale or with a percentage off). Figured I'd just bite the bullet and get a new set and, literally overnight, it jumped up over 100% to $199. No way. Lost another star for that. Will be buying a different set altogether. Original Review: I tried a cheaper (<$75 set) and the audio quality sucked, and they didn't fit right. Although this one was twice as much, it's far superior to the cheap ones. Quality and comfort. Well worth the cost. tl;dr - Originally purchased a set that was around $60. Sound quality was very 'tinny' and they barely fit my head correctly. They also felt very cheap and figured they would break within a few weeks at best. Sent them back. Picked up this set and I wasn't disappointed. If you're expecting audiophile quality sound, it's not going to happen. That said, these sound remarkably well. Low frequencies (bass guitar, drums, etc.) are not powerful, but the frequency range is so wide and clear, that the overall sound is very good. You can hear the highest frequencies clearly (cymbals, etc.) and the lower ones are prominent (just not 'thumping'). They also fit much nicer and I can see myself wearing them for hours with little fatigue. PLUS, this one allows you to store 32GB of music locally on the built-in headset memory chip. No need to carry your phone around just for a music source. They do work just fine as a bluetooth headset, but if you go to the gym, you can just slip these on, press and hold the power button to turn on, and off you go. They may not be from a familiar audio company, but they are worth buying.

音質も問題ないし、耳が痛くならない。 良かったと思います。

Me llegaron rapidísimo, y ahora ya llevo casi una semana usándolos, son muy ligeros, con estilo y de buena calidad. Me han gustado mucho. De hecho, soy usuario también de Bose QuietComfort Ultra, pero creo que voy a utilizar más estos de Mojawa, sobre todo cuando estoy fuera o en la oficina, ya que son súper cómodo, son ideales para correr y nadar en la piscina. Lo que más me gusta es que puedo escuchar bien la música andando por las calles sin dejar de oír lo que pasa a mi alrededor, me siento más segura. En la oficina también me resultan muy prácticos, porque puedo escuchar a mis compañeros y mi música a la vez jaja. Además, me ha gustado su diseño, es bastante chulo y se nota que el material es de calidad al tacto, no tienen nada que ver con las marcas baratas y cutres. En cuanto al sonido, es bastante bueno, claro, no es lo mismo que mis Bose QuietComfort, pero son tipos de auriculares distintos, creo que estos Mojawa cuidan más mis oídos. Después de hacer comparación con otros deportivos que he probado, por ejemplo, los de Shokz (ademas son más caros), estos me parecen mejores, tienen mejor relación precio-calidad. Me gustan!!!

Funktioniert super, gutes Preis Leistungverhältnis
