I have been very pleased with the sound quality, the microphone, the battery life and range of my Open Run. I find the band - in the back of my head has interference from high back chairs and some hats. But I can usually work around those. Otherwise I forget I have them on.
I loved my OpenMove headphones, but lost them on a trip, so I decided to try out this model. The only thing I like better about this set is that I had the option to choose a smaller band - the OpenMove band was WAY too big and made it difficult to lean my head back against a chair. The voice that says stuff like "Power On" and such is improved too, but I consider that a minor change.
They really messed up the buttons, though. The buttons on the OpenMove headphones were perfect. I could press them with the back of my wrist when my hands were wet or dirty, as I often used them while working or cleaning. The power and volume buttons were also easy to find. Not so with this model. The buttons are all flush with the surface, making them difficult to locate even after having used them for a couple weeks.
I'm honestly not sure whether to keep them. The band is really nice, but everything else is the same or worse. If I could have a shorter band on my OpenMove set, I'd take that over these hands down.
I am impressed by the range of the headset. The setup was very easy to pair up with my phone. I love that you can listen to your music and also listen to things around you without taking it out of your ear. The only thing is that even with the smaller size it is still a bit big and puts a bit of pressure.
Have used for about a month now. Battery life is great, sound is great, they're very comfortable, love that my ears are open to be able to hear my surroundings!
I absolutely love these. I got the mini version. I love, love, love that I am aware of my surroundings and can hear outside noises. I hated that ear buds blocked everything out. These are also very comfortable. I've worn them for over 6 hours gardening with no problem! I now also wear them in the house as I move around doing this and that. I can keep my phone in a central location and move all around. I mostly listen to audio books and it beats carrying the phone around. The ability to quickly push pause is also great. So easy to find the button! Interruptions are easy to handle :) You have to buy these, you won't regret it. I'm telling everyone I know about it. I can't believe I only now discovered them. Better late than never!
