At first, the Shoks OPENAIR PRO 2 need to be gotten used to. From the old over-ear headphones that punch your ears with massive vibrations, and the ear-buds which tickle your ear canals, and irritate them, these are a very different thing altogether. With the Shoks OPENAIR PRO 2, you literally hear the sound INSIDE your head. Adjusting them to the right spot on your jaw is the first challenge, and making sure your audio levels are set right, are the only thing that stands in the way of amazing-ness. Once you get setup, it's real fun, and hi-fidelity. The only complaint I have is the microphone, apparently, my calls sound like I am in a metal cage, and the multi-device switching is tricky, and lastly, I am trying to figure out how to get an alert for an incoming call to be better.
Compared to my prior Shokz, these are a bit bulkier, but good otherwise. I love the ease with which I can connect and alternate listening between my three devices, I love the long battery life, and that the sound is less drowned out by outside noise. I would have liked if the ends were a bit flatter and less bulky, more like the prior ones I had.
These sound great, I still have to check sometimes, it sounds like the room filling loud speakers are on but alas it is just me that is enjoying the great sound through my SHOKZ.
I have used some really bad bone-conducting headphones. These are worth the extra money. Clear sound, and most importantly they don't move around and don't get nasty from your ear canals. The battery life is excellent.
I had previously owned AfterShokz AS600 model. I was very happy with them. Due to its age, I was looking to purchase a new pair. I purchase OpenRun Pro 2, which are truly awesome headphones. I just simply love them. I will never buy any other manufacturer product.
