Volume is very weak. Any background noise completely drowns out music even with headphone at full volume. With a fan and bike rollers during indoor training I can barley hear the headphones. At full volume people near by can easily hear what is playing. If you want to actually hear your music an in ear style would be better.
Great for awareness and avoiding the sweat and ache from earbuds

Overall I am enjoying these! If you're like me and wearing in-ear buds is uncomfortable, and over-ear headphones get too hot when working out, then these might be the thing for you. The sound quality isn't top of the line, but it's not meant to be. The app is easy to use and controlling the EQ is a breeze. Additionally, because I run outdoors and walk around the city, situational awareness is extremely important. I've narrowly avoided being hit by a car because I heard it rev at the stop sign where I was crossing (they would have run me over, I'm sure of it). I can't say the same if I had been wearing something that was noise-cancelling. That said, these are trickier to wear during the winter because of the wraparound band at the back; wearing anything covering your ears/head feels strange. I chose this because I don't want to be hanging onto individual pieces and it can wrap around my neck when I'm not using it, but now I'm wondering if I should have gotten the OpenFit 2. Lastly, if you're wearing a hat plus glasses/sunglasses, long-term use may prove uncomfortable because of how they hang on your ears. Still, I feel I am better off with open-ear listening for the benefit of being aware of my surroundings and avoiding inner ear discomfort and gross sweat.
These are the best earphones I have ever owned. The sound is of quality, and I also can hear my surroundings. I forget sometimes that they are even there! I just wish they made the OpenSwim Mini. Even though I had bought the standard at first. I bought a second pair of Mini's that are absolutely perfect for my head!!
I like the charge is fast I can fit it easier but the sound is not good , is comfortable and the design is beautiful, super light even some times you forgot is on you
Upgrade from the original pro run and absolutely love the new pro run 2. Sound is amazing and the quality is great. Roommates even bought 2 pairs after listening to mine.
