Not as great as I thought

I keep finding myself having to readjust the volume for ambient sound way more then any other headphones. Even low to moderate volume background noise seems to noticeably affect its performance. It was expected but not to the level I experience. It brings up the concern for which I bought them, hearing damage due to volume.
The only thing keeping the 5 star of us the range of volume. On a busy street, the loud isn't enough to listen well, and at home the low volume could be lower. Otherwise, excellent! I wild recommend them.
They work fine with glasses and are comfortable and easy to use.
I recently received the OpenRun Pro 2 headset and gave it a short test. I noticed right away that the voice feedback I valued in earlier OpenRun models is missing on this version. That prompt used to be a simple but helpful confirmation that the headset had connected properly. Also, the sound quality on this unit (Kipchoge Co-branded Edition) felt like a step down compared to what I’ve experienced with previous OpenRun versions.
That said, I’m holding off on a full review for now. I’ve returned this one and plan to reorder the same model (not co-branded), just to be sure this wasn’t an isolated case. Looking forward to seeing if the next one performs better.
I bought these for a half marathon and they worked great. I then used them on a Nepal trek to Everest Base Camp and they worked great and lasted a long time between charges. I like to use them while hiking as they let me hear my surroundings while enjoying music. I look forward to my continued use!
