I bought these for mountain
on September 15, 2024

I bought these for mountain biking and love them. I have found that I’m wearing them for the gym as well as phone calls. The sound and clarity are great! I like I can hear things around me along with clear music.
We have both the Open Run Pro and Open Run Pro 2s and the newest model continues to not disappoint. Plus add the new USBC charging capabilities and we can’t find anything to complain about! Great job!
As someone who is single-side deaf and hard of hearing, Shokz have been my go-to brand for bone conduction headphones that allow me to experience stereo sound. My particular kind of deafness works perfectly with these. I have always been impressed with the quality of the bone conduction hardware while understanding it can’t give the same fidelity of sound as other headphones. My favorite thing about all the previous Shokz I have owned (basically every previous model back to when they were AfterShokz) is that I could put earplugs in and experience what was - for me - truly earth shattering sound. With the new Pro 2s, Shokz has chosen to focus on Air Conduction, which does nothing for me so these are basically a downgrade that I paid too much for. These headphones are weak in volume to me as there is less power going to bone conduction and it’s split with open air drivers. They are worse with earplugs in and in general are a huge downgrade and disappointment compared to the original pros. I wish Shokz would stay committed to bone conduction but I know they’ll probably focus on other technologies. Overall a huge bummer
Having the ability to change the equalizer settings via the app is a game changer. Now I have a much better sound. Very glad I purchased this upgraded Open Run Pro 2. Thank you!
I have the original OpenRun Pro's and they are nice but unfortunately I suffer from vertigo. The original pros would cause my vertigo to kick in so I would have to take several days off between wears. These new Pro2's are absolutely fire! I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting them to be so drastically different from the originals. 2 weeks in and no vertigo issues to speak of. I also don't have the squeezed head feeling at the end of the day that I experienced with the originals. Thank you for continuing to find better ways to enjoy bone conduction.
