not durable, iffy battery

generally like the concept and they seem well executed but mine just died, of course right outside the warranty. These were the most expensive headphones I ever bought and I babied them; was expecting more for the price. The only way to get more than a few hours of life from the battery was to have them "on" in standby mode but not listening to anything. Defeats the purpose and definitely misleading.If I wanted disposable electronics, I would pay disposable pricing. Will be looking for a more reliable brand now.
I’ve tried 3 separate pairs now (two Open Run mini and one regular) and they all die around ~3hrs on a full charge. I had reasonable expectations and enjoy the sound quality but I cannot even get through a full ride with these things. I guess I’ll just carry two pairs around to get maybe 6hrs id battery life altogether.
This is my second pair of open run. This pair does not charge consistently and sporadically does not turn on. In order to fix the power up issue, I have to plug it in and then unplug it and it will usually turn on. However, this is when I find that it hasn’t charged. my first pair works perfectly but the second pair does not
I have been on the fence about these headphones for ages before finally taking the plunge, as I hate stuff being in my ear. They are great I usually use them for running, but have also used them when studying and taking zoom calls. I was recently traveling (via plane) and found that the combination of my loop earplugs and my shokz was one of my best ideas.
