Thanks for the try it before you buy it. I have a perfectly functional open pro and was not planning on buying another one. Having the option to try it and realizing the improvement I wound up cascading my old head set to my wife to help me justify the purchase I knew I was going to make after trying them.
The new model of these headphones blow the last ones out of the water in every way! I have absolutely no regrets, and cannot sing the praises enough. The audio quality used to be pretty darn good, but these ones sound fantastic. The sound quality sounds like you're not wearing headphones, but the sound is around you, like you're listening to a quality speaker set. I listen to a lot of spoken word, and the voices come through crystal clear. They are also comfortable enough that I forget that they are on my head and wear them for the duration of a 12 hour shift with nothing playing and not notice them. The battery life also lasts for the duration of that shift, which is nice. What is also pretty nice, is that if I forget to charge them, the functional recharge time is about the duration of a long bathroom break. Which in the charging world, means these are back online basically instantly.
This is my second pair of bone connection Shokz. The first pair stopped working for some reason after about 2 years. Then I bought Shokz air, but lost the charger case and you cant get another one. So I bought pro 2. It has a USB-C which is great to avoid multiple cord issues, especially on trips.
Cons: max volume is too low, not always an issue, but it was hard to hear some audio books and could not really rock out while hitting tennis balls. Bass could be better. Can mold bend the set to fit your head/ears. It should be made out of rigid but moldable material, like a metal coat hanger type of rigidity.
These have been a game changer for me. The fact that I can do everything from athletics to walking my dog and hearing my surroundings without losing my headphones along with great sound is incredible. I can't see life beyond them going forward. I thought I would have a difficult time replacing my Jabra Earbuds. Well I found out that won't be the case
The sound was horrible constantly had to have it on max volume just to get a good sound coming from an android using the aero pex and 60 70 percent volume they sounded loud idk like I said if it’s iPhone but I had a horrible experience with these
