Original open run was better

These headphones are worse than the original open run. They are bulky, heavy and so tight that they give me a headache. They use less bone conduction, so you lose a lot of bass when wearing earplugs with them. They are too loud. I had to adjust Spotify's equalizer to make all music -10 decibels to get the the lowest volume tolerable on the headphones.
100x better sound than older versions. Only complaint is I wish they read out text messages and sometimes just aren't loud enough. BUT. . . these are my go-to headphones by far.
These are exactly what I've been wanting - I can listen to music but still hear the world around me [and not be an a-hole with blasting music thru a speaker]. Love the ability to switch into Classic mode if/when desired. App is easy to use, charges fast, and stays on when running.
I know you can't just slap a 2 on it and call it new but so close. The sound and sound perception is absolutely better. however there are many things that are good but just miss the mark. USBc great that it is now common. don't like the flap is it more water proof? can't hardly open the port really liked the shokz charger unless I forgot it then I am SOL so is new better idk button action I like that it is more tactile and that the voice and tones are less harsh I appreciate the "battery low recharge" message is gone volume while the sound is more dynamic it seems to be quieter than the previous 5 units that I have owned. and when I try to lower the volume so I can listen to white noise at night it goes only so low and then cuts out so it seems the high and low ends are just missing from previous models. I have only noticed this once but when I am sweating or get wet the sound quality has gone up in previous models but for some reason when these get wet they seem muffled like the majority of the sound is coming from the speakers and not from the bone conducting again this only happened once as I am not trying to get this wet. battery life rocks!! feel and look are on point, I just don't feel they are better than the previous version of this product
I've had all three of shokz's flagship headphones, the last one being in daily use for three years, with zero issues ever. Still, I decided to upgrade to the newest model because I wanted the USB charging port. But the sound is also so much better, and the updated Bluetooth version makes going back and forth between the sound on my phone and my computer so much better. It's automatic and seamless, where the last pair I would regularly have to restart the headphones to get it to switch from my phone to my computer. Its honestly made my life so much easier and that wasn't even why I decided to upgrade.
