Still needs work
on November 1, 2024
Posted by: Tad E.
I purchased these to replace my OpenRun model that just failed, drawn by the advertised sound improvement, in spite of the lower IP55 water resistance rating.
I first noticed that the volume could not contend with a moderate indoor noise level as advertised, they are definitely quieter than my previous model. I also began hearing a ringing/dinging sound in my left ear that I initially chalked up to tinnitus. I had a friend test them out, and they noticed the same thing without being asked. I feel the biggest improvement is the charger switching to USB-C with a covered port, as opposed to the magnetic attachment, constantly filled with dirt that had to be cleaned out frequently. I also like the control buttons being easier to locate with the updated shape.
Overall, I am a bit disappointed with the lack of sound quality improvement and the increased price for it. I will be returning this OpenRun Pro model and exchanging them for the same OpenRun model l had before.

Great Open Air Headphones
on November 1, 2024

I love my new Shokz. They are perfect for my workout and walks (the reason that I bought them). They are also great for meetings since they are so comfortable and the mic works well. The only use that I can't use them for is for meetings in noisy environments (like a coffee shop). For that, I still need my noise canceling solution.

Questionable over-ear headphones for the newest out there
on October 31, 2024

I like the weight and feel of Skokz. The sound quality and volume could be better, not loud enough for me. Even with phone volume up, headphones just sound quiet. I like my green first gen pair almost better than these. Latest techy headphones and the sound is poor.

Loved the old one. Love this one more

I had for many years the original Shokz bone conduction. They finally died Earlier this year and it broke at the connection point of where the band connects to the battery so it could no longer keep pressure against the ear but the audio was still working. So I decided to upgrade and the difference is crazy. People say they can't even tell I'm on Bluetooth with the microphone the added speaker with the bone conduction gets rid of the pressure you felt before. Very long periods used to give me a slight headache but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Sometimes If I paused the music I would forget I was wearing them.
They sound like you are listening to a speaker in the room.
