For years I've avoided earbuds. I hate the idea of shoving those things in my ears and then reusing them. They become dirty with earwax and they are uncomfortable after a while. Big headphones are a no-go as they get hot, are too big, and frankly, look ridiculous. I've been eyeing Shokz for a few years now as it seems to have everything I've wanted: comfort, good sound quality, easy to carry them around, and they don't go inside your ear! I had high hopes that these may be a Goldilocks product for me, but I kept my expectations low.
Literally the moment I put them on I was blown away. These have exceeded my expectations. They sound great, I can't believe they're not inside my ears and I can still hear the world around me when I'm exercising outside. Phone calls are clear and everyone is telling me they can hear me better using the OpenRun Pro 2! I talk so much on the phone while doing stuff and speakerphone hasn't been great. These are a huge improvement. Now I can be working out, hiking, running, or going grocery shopping and phone calls have been better than ever.
I like the controls on the headset. They're easy to use, especially the button to answer phone calls. The volume is easy to use and navigating songs is a breeze. They pair very quickly via Bluetooth. Honestly, this has been the best Bluetooth product I've used. No issues whatsoever! Finally, the battery is great. It charges in less than an hour and I can use it for about 4-6 days without needing to recharge it, depending on usage of course. I am very happy with my purchase and I have no regrets. My only regret is that I haven't gotten them sooner!
I have a pair or Open run. I and very happy with then. I Thought I would upgrade to the Pro 2. The 2 things I was hoping to get was better sound and higher volume and the most important was I was hoping that the Bluetooth connection would be better. Well I was disappointed. The sound quality is better but the volume is not any higher and the Bluetooth connection and distance is worse. Not Happy anymore with Shokz
Initially dropout of signal from Apple Music, on brand new headphones direct from the manufacturer. Sure enough, there was a firmware update, then they worked perfectly. I have used the former model for many years and one of the buttons became less reliable. Great upgrade with sound quality (especially base), external noise reduction, and call quality. Like all headsets sitting above the ear, placement with glasses a little more challenging, but no problem occurs even on long runs.
My new Shokz open run pro 2’a sound great and are an upgrade from my original open run pro’s. The only thing I don’t like is the new charger. I wish I was like the original pair that was a magnet.
Great sounding, open ear headphones, this is my second set I loved the first ones so much, sound great, talking on the phone is easy and sound is great on both ends, you can listen to music and hear your surroundings and talk to people.
I've been using them for about 2 weeks now and I'm impress I love hearing everything. I work at a place where I need to hear what everyone's saying but it's boring with no music. I do kinda wish they would get a little louder and have a little more bass, but they deliver a crystal clear sound and the battery lasts about a day and a half, but that's fine. I really do like them
Was looking for headphones that wouldn’t bother my ears after wearing for extended periods of time and these are perfect and I can feel comfortable running on busy streets
