I've owned a different style of blue tooth for many years and thought that I would try these mainly because of our son. I do like them, but I think that they could make some improvements. The sound is okay when I'm on the phone talking and are for the most part comfortable.
I bought these because in-ear headphones have been banned on my job site. Unfortunately, even on max volume, you can’t hear much at all when in an already noisy environment.
They are great but I have an issue wearing them with my glasses. I thought there might be an issue so i don't want to be harsh about it. They sound great and fit comfortably most of the time
I've owned many versions of Shokz over the years. Ran marathons with them. I recently tried the OpenRun Pro 2 model and can say this is my favorite so far! I can't see how you can improve on the sound quality and comfort of these! Well done!
I'm a long time customer and the OpenRun Pro2 is my fourth Shokz product. I started with the Aftershokz Trex Titanium, then the Aftershokz Aeropex, the Shokz OpenRun Pro, and now the OpenRun Pro 2. Each iteration just got better even when I thought the AeroPex and OpenRun Pro were just fine. The OpenRun Pro 2 stands out above all of the previous ones with more clarity and more control especially with the Equalizer app and strongly suggest you use the custom feature. Also, you can experience more bass through the customized EQ feature than the "Bass Boost" feature - at least for me. I like that the bone conduction headphones are low-profile, can barely feel them on your head, and hear anything from music, audiobooks, and your surroundings. Also, there is almost no sound leakage. At a moderate to high sound level, the headphones sound clear and don't need any more volume (at least I don't), and when I remove them from my head to check for sound leakage, I'm not hearing anything beyond 6 inches from my face. For comparison, I have multiple Bose headphones, 2 sets of Bowers & Wilkins headphones, Marshall noise cancelling headphones, and a couple of sets from Klipsch. Over time I've found I prefer the bone conduction headphones. . . they sound very good, they are very light and don't make my ears/head sweaty. I even use them while studying a couple languages with a language software program because although I have very good Bose external computer speakers, I use the OpenRun Pro 2 headphones because I can hear the detail and small nuances in the different languages and hear the pronunciation better.
So as mentioned before, having multiple sets of headphones, in-ear, over-the-ear, or bone conduction with Shokz, I've only been reaching for the OpenRun Pro 2s.
If I’m not mistaken this will be probably my 7th set of Bluetooth over the ear headphones. Many different brands. These are by far the best sounding, most confortable, most secure, rain water resistant, sports approved non-falling, best battery headphones I’ve ever owned. And of course this is including the open run first edition! Excellent job guys!
I love these earbuds! They’re perfect for casual office work or going on a run. One thing I was worried about was the fit with my glasses but they don’t bother me at all! The audio quality has a great range behind it too, I often forget that I’m wearing anything at all!
As an avid runner in a city environment, safety is one of my concerns. These Shokz allow me to be intune with my environment. The sound is really good for something that is not in ear. Highly recommend.
