Love my Shokz!

I first tried these headphones years ago, and I’ve purchased multiple sets and given them to friends! Great sound and you can still hear what’s going on around you!
I have some issues with them charging sometimes. Sometimes I plug the charger in and the light does not come on and they do not charge. Some times they won’t turn on and I have to do a hard reset. Sometimes when running the running app will prompt the music and they won’t start playing the music. Sometimes I will answer calls on my phone and it will connect to the headphones when I don’t want to. I keep switching it back to my phone and then I switches it back to the headphones till I turn the headphones off completely.
For my patients that are hard of hearing I use this with an electronic stethoscope. They can hear it! For people who have never been able to hear with a regular stereotype or who are hard of hearing this combination works!!
In loud environments, it is hard to hear sounds outside this headset. I have several other Shokz, and they produce a more audible sound. There is more base and better sound sound, I will give you that. what is the return peirod on these?
I also own the OpenRun Pro. The OpenRun Pro 2 headphones sound a lot better and have more sound options through the shokz app. If I am wearing earplugs at work I need to change the sound to classic mode, which in turn makes the sound quality the same as the original OpenRun Pro. The original OpenRun Pro uses a proprietary magnetic charging cord. I really like this cord because it has a decent length and is easy to hook up to the headphones. The disadvantage to this cord is proprietary if you lose it, you need to order another one. The OpenRun Pro 2 uses the widely available USB-C, though the one it comes with is on the short side. The main button used to play/pause music or answer the phone is smaller on the OpenRun Pro 2, I prefer the larger one on the original OpenRun Pro. Either of these headphones are great if you work in construction. You can converse with people around you, though if you're on a phone call the people around you will think you are talking to them. A lot of construction sites do not allow headphones because you cannot hear the dangers around you. With this type of headphone they have no argument because your ears are not plugged/covered and you can hear the environment around you. It is 2025, I believe I've had my original OpenRun Pro headphones since 2021. I wear them Monday through Friday for about 8 hours a day. I charge them after work on my drive home. I have never had them run out of battery life. The OpenRun Pro 2 headphones are about a month old, I have had zero battery issues so far.
