Great but not for cycling

I have the original Shokz and the sound quality on the OpenRun Pro 2 is AMAZING in comparison. Much crisper and clearer sound with well balanced highs and lows. Great for running and walking but when I’m cycling, the wind noise overpowers the sound of the OpenRun Pro 2 unless I turn it up literally all the way. This is due to the fact that it’s a combination of bone and air conduction. With my originals which are pure bone conduction, I can still hear my music while cycling at a fraction of the volume. So despite the improved sound quality, I’ll be sticking with what I got so I can hear my music while cycling.
After using my open run pro for a long time at work, so I can listen to music and hear people around me. These are a fantastic update. Can hear my music much better Wherever the sound buds are located. I do miss the magnetic quick connect charger. But I understand why it's missing. So they lose a little bit of user friendliness, where you have to be a little more careful to charge them. But It does open up a wide range of charging solutions and you don't have to carry the quick connect cable with you everywhere you go. The extended battery life is also really nice. I can listen All Day. Come home and not have an issue of running out of battery power.
Sounds great and less vibrational compared with last model. Call quality on my iPhone pro max 13 is poor. I can hear them but they can’t hear me and they say I sound different.
The sound quality of these compared to the open run pro is terrible. The volume is by far the worst ever. I’ve had every other version and they all seemed to be 10x louder than these. Also bring back the magnetic charger. I’m not sure why you made the switch but …
Sometime along the way Shokz started to impose an upper limit on a sound volume. Can't hear pretty anything in way too many cases, e.g. biking next to a semi busy road. Wasn't the case with the earlier iterations of a non-running headset.
The regular size is definitely too large and I thought I had a regular head shape. The head piece falls down and hits my neck. As a result a component of the esr piece sticks sharply causing g pain. I will definitely return the item.
