Before these I had the aftershokz aeropex open run. I loved those but eventually I started to notice things that could be better. These new headphones delivered! I can’t imagine them being any better.
I have always been a big proponent of noise cancellation in earbuds for running. Not sure why, I guess to get lost in the music. On the longer runs in almost all my OTHER earbuds, my ears would get fatigued or the battery would die. I had to change it up. The OpenRun Pro 2's are amazing. Comfortable, no fatigue, amazing battery life. It solved all my problems for my long runs. Just did 13.1 and had enough battery for several more. I couldn't be more pleased with the earbuds. AMAZING. Sound is good, volume control is easy. Just outstanding!!
I used these headphones during a marathon, and while the sound quality is great in quieter settings, I struggled to hear the music clearly with all the crowd cheering around me. It felt like the volume couldn’t cut through the background noise. Additionally, after a couple of hours, they started to feel a bit heavy on my ears, which became a bit distracting toward the end.
That said, they are great for everyday runs and workouts—comfortable enough for shorter sessions and with solid audio quality in less noisy environments.
