I landed on these after trying the Open Pro 2. I’m not much of an audiophile so the difference in music sound quality isn’t important for me. Definitely more comfortable for running long distances, but I do feel slight pressure behind my ear due to the design and hanging of the headphones. Solid product though, would definitely recommend.
They’re okay headphones. Nothing special. The battery life is disappointing. The sound/bass is extremely low. After trying multiple headphones for the last few years, this and the Bose headphones and Beats headphones are the worst headphones in the market especially for their prices.
Shokz heavy user daily since 2021. I upgrade about as often as many upgrade their iPhone. Why upgrade so often? Because I walked 19,003 steps per day in 2025, an annual increase since 2021. Just got the amazing OpenRun Pro 2, my 4th Shokz headphone which I love incrementally more than my last pair, the ones with the boom microphone. Way too geeky those. So, try other headphone options. Wear Shokz a bit for walking, running, cycling and cooking dinner and you'll be hooked on the brand. . . much like you might be with Patagonia, Filson, Brooks. and Apple.
