I got the mini Shokz

I got the mini Shokz open run pro 2 for trail running on mixed pedestrian/mountain biking trails and an ultra race. They fit comfortably and don’t bout around. The quality of the sound is good and not muffled, but they are very quiet compared to my AirPods. I did “volume boost” on the Shokz app and they are still not very loud. I do like that they have a skip button, but wish they would auto-turn off after awhile when not using.
Great sound quality. Don't fall out when running like ear buds do. Let's me concentrate on my run and not have to adjust my ear buds constantly. Would buy again.
I enjoy the open ear design. Good for listening to books, podcasts, and music. They’re also so much easier for answering calls. And comfortable enough to wear while not actively listening.
These are so much nicer to use at the gym than regular ear buds. They aren’t popping out on certain lifts. You don’t need to take them in and out when people talk to you. The sound is great. I only wish the loop had the ability to stay tight against your head as it can easily find its way down and needs readjustment.
I was super excited about the OpenRun Pro 2. I have been using shocks products since 2019. I decided to go ahead and upgrade from the OpenRun Pro. While the increase in base was nice it seems these headphones now rely on air wave technology rather than bone conduction. A great example would be if I was in a noisy environment I can plug my ear and hear clearly what was being conducted through bone but with these new headphones I lose all sound. Also relying on an app for configuration is very annoying. I would rather they work well out of box instead of having to be fine-tuned after downloading software. I'll definitely be using my older pair more frequently.
