I just bought my second pair of Shox. the sound quality and ease of use are outstanding. I run on the road quite a bit and really appreciate being able to hear what is going on around me. turns out my first pair which is almost two years old is fine, just needed to replace the charge cord. My wife is now the beneficiary of my rush to just replace.
Sadly the only thing I don’t like about the OpenRun series of headsets is the proprietary charging cable. My first headset, the Titanium used a standard microUSB cable which I much prefer. The proprietary charging cable works just fine, but if you lose it, you’re out of luck until you can buy another. I have a drawer full of microUSB cables.
Great for "active" use like walking, hiking and working out. I sometimes forget I am wearing them when not actively listening to them. Works pretty well for sleep also (for me). I love the fast charge but hate that I have to carry another charging cord. Bass quality needs to be better for audiophiles.
Great overall, this is my second pair. These are tough and sound great. I’m a technician in the field and I handle tech support calls daily, the call clarity is top tier. My only complaint is the app has very little functionality and the in ear notification voice turns itself up and down and I have no way to turn it back up. Some times I can’t hear it at all. This does not affect or interact with call volume whatsoever. If They fix that it will be perfect. Battery stand by is phenomenal.
