They are fine in most situations

As long as there isn’t much background noise (riding in a car with the window cracked or in a loud environment) they are fine. Sound quality is pretty good (not like ear buds though). You can hear everything around you, which is good. I found that after a few hours they were uncomfortable on the back of my ears though. They also don’t automatically connect to my iPhone all the time. Often I have to go in and make the connection myself.
I love the orange color of the new Open Run Pro2- so I can find them amongst all my crap. Also the battery life is fantastic and the fact they are USP-C charging is a game changer!!! (Love having 1 cable for most of my devices now!!!) I am concerned about how soon the plastic flat covering the Charging port will break off/fail, but I may be just a Pessimist Patty. We will see. They have already been worn for hours while I am active.
Glad I made the decision to jump from OpenComm to OpenRun Pro2

Hate earplugs. They make me feel isolated, make my voice echo in my head, they fall out and are very uncomfortable. When the microphone went bad in my OpenComm headset the company replaced them - no hassle. The sound on the OpenRun2 is better on the low end. Solid Product + Exemplary Service = Loyal Customer
This is my second and newest version of Shokz. The sound is amazing and a definite improvement over my previous one. I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5, for 2 reasons. The charging input is a USB C. The previous models were a magnetic connection which was great! There was no silicone or rubber flap to cover the connection like the original one, which makes it cumbersome. The port is difficult to plug into as well. It takes 2 hands to plug it in. The magnetic charging connector was fantastic. The supplied USB C charging cord is very short. I keep it in my car so between the difficulty with plugging it in and the short cord I am disappointed. I will try another longer cord and that should help. Bring back the magnetic charge port and you will have a better product.
I absolutely love my shokz, the only reason they didn’t get 5 stars is because they advertised them being louder then previous releases and they aren’t.
I returned them after one day because there just wasn’t enough full sound that I like. My in-ear headphones put me in another world where I’m not even thinking about my run, how far I’ve run, or how far I have left; I just go. I wanted to love them, but they’re just not good enough for how I run.
