This is my fourth pair of Shokz bone-conduction headphones. I was skeptical to try the OpenRun Pro 2 (only because my OpenRun Pros were completely fine). I needed a good reason. I waited for a sale price and bought a pair. Wow! What a difference. I loved my OpenRun Pros, but the 2 sounds so much better I am kicking myself for having waited so long. The bass boost is extraordinary and really fills in what was missing from the originals.
I like the Shokz. But when I tested the Shokz at the big shop. They seem louder and the bass was incredible. That's what prompted me to purchase the headset.
I absolutely love the OpenRun Pro 2 for long bicycle rides. The open-ear design lets me stay aware of traffic while enjoying music with surprisingly good sound quality. The fit is secure and comfortable even on longer rides.
The only thing I’d change is the auto-off feature—it seems to stop after about 2 hours if there's no interaction. I have to pause and restart it mid-ride. It would be great if there were an option to disable that so I could listen for 3–4 hours straight without interruption.
