The Shokz allow me to listen to traffic and stay aware while listening to music or a phone call or some other app on my phone. The only down side is the new OpenRun Pro 2 uses USB-C to charge with a little rubber stopper instead of the sealed, magnetic charge port. My history with those little stoppers on other devices is NOT good. So we'll see how the Shokz stopper stands up.
The are replacing a previous pair of Shokz. I find that they sound great and are super comfortable, but the volume is limited. I'm trying to find good workarounds, but so far have not had great luck through my Pixel 9.
I listen to a lot of podcasts and take frequent phone calls, and these just don’t perform well in those situations. In any kind of background noise even something as simple as doing dishes it’s difficult to clearly hear voices. Podcasts and calls often get drowned out, which makes them frustrating to use day to day.
They’re really only effective for music during activities like running or biking, where situational awareness matters more and you’re not focused on vocals or detail. Outside of that use case, I’d recommend a different type of headphone.
The volume is also on the lower side. I followed the manufacturer’s suggestions to improve it, but it still doesn’t get loud enough especially for spoken audio like podcasts and phone calls.
The sound quality is way better then the previous models. and the 6 different mode is so nice. The battery life is perfect. I can get 2 days out of them at work. The call quality and wind proof is so good that I would rather call on them then my pixel 9pro. And they don't make my ears sore on the top like my open run pros do. The open run pro 2s are so much better then I could ever have imagined.
Good product. Nightmare to get response about a return

Good product, I needed a size smaller for better fit, I sent an email to check on the return I initiated, the support person’s email was great and promised a quick action that unfortunately did not materialize with no replies after subsequent emails
