Very Reliable Products, the sounds performing much batter than OpenRun Pro.. But I like the magnet style charging via OpenRun Pro instead USB. Superfast Bluetooth connecting with two devise at the same time it's A+
This is my 5th Shokz headphones. It is amazing that Shokz does something to improve the sound quality every time I purchase a new one. OpenRun Pro 2 was no different. Amazing sound quality, great battery performance, easy controls.
The new Pro2 have much better sound than its predecessor and it hasn't disconnected from my iPhone yet. This was a problem with the previous model it would disconnect in the middle of a call. I do wish they would of kept the magnetic charger since the rubber usb-C cover I feel will come off in the long run. This is known to happen to rubber plugs used to cover these types of ports. This would be my only set back on these otherwise very useful and awesome headphones.
I had hoped these would be better for windy days on the bike or for descending. They are louder, but under those conditions you here something but it is not clear. I actually like my earlier versions for these conditions. They do sound much better in the house, but that is not how I generally use them.
I work on a golf course and enjoy listening to my favorite music, with comfort. The color orange has everyone asking me "What are you wearing?” As you guessed it... I refer them to you !!
My first pair of bone conducting headphones. I am not an outdoor runner so my review may not be as valuable to those who are since this product is meant for that. I can say that these are incredibly comfortable and sound great in my opinion. I wear them to the gym to run on the treadmill, walk the dog, listen to music while I work and to do Duo Lingo lessons while watching tv with my husband. He will be getting a pair for christmas for sure. I have had some instances where I could not hear well when the gym is really busy but for me, the pros (lightweight, comfy, secure, no itchy ears from earbuds, no neck ache from heavy head sets) outweigh the cons (hearing the world around you). I listen to a lot of ambient house music and techno and the ‘oomph’ of the bass certainly comes through well. Its not the same immersive experience as over-ear noise cancelling headphones but if you think you are going to get that from open ear headphones you are delusional and need to manage your expectations. I’m really happy with my purchase.
I have been using Shokz headphones for years and this is the first time I have seen a single generation improvement this good. The change to a standard USB-C plug means the plug cover is back but also means that it charges faster and requires less specialized cables for charging. Listening to audiobooks is much clearer while music is just as pleasing as before. This is a great upgrade and I am really happy using it!
