My wife bought me the Openmove for xmas but I was hesitant to open it. After doing some research I took the chance on the OpenRun pro2. I was still hesitant on the bone conduction with the cost and online mixed reviews. I am so glad I got them. I have been using Samsung buds but they fell out, hurt after a bit, and I often had a hard time hearing even with the sound way up as I have some hearing loss. I also have over the ear Beats that I still had volume and comfort issues. The sound for me on the OpenRun pro 2 has been great and I don't have the same sound lose experienced with other options. Using these headphones I don't even notice my hearing lose issues it has been very clear sound. I read a lot of reviews that complained about the bass which I didn't find to be an issue. Would I like a touch more sure but what bass lover doesn't. I am a rock / alternative music listener and not had any quality issues. I did down load the app and use the bass boost sound option. I have had no issues with volume in noisy environments. I am not in the city so I can't speak to that environment but I have been in crowds with no issue at half volume. I ahve been able to have conversations with no issue while music is playing. There has been no vibration from the bone conduction. The longest I have used them at 1 time was about 6 hours straight at half volume and that used about 50% battery. No comfort issues over the 6 hours. You notice them a bit when you first put them on but after a little while I didn't even notice them. I went with the pro2 over the pro because of the USB C cable, I did not want a special charging cable of the pro. and also the bass upgrade on the pro2 I can't speak to the call quality because I have not used them for phone conversations. My only complaints is the size of the metal strap behind the head I find it a little big. Based on the size chart the mini would have been to small for me so I went with the standard. If find looking up that the band hits the back of my neck and is annoying but any other movements is fine. And I wish the cost was a bit less. Would recommend.

Like many of you, I have went through many & I mean Many, pairs of Bluetooth earbuds. All of them have fallen short of expectations. They didn’t fit well, sound good, or picked up too much background noise. That is until I got my Shokz. I heard about them from a coworker who operates a Road Grader. He claimed that they work great, sound quality is good, calls are clear etc. (we have heard this all before) So, I researched them a bit. The reviews seemed solid,( taken with a grain of salt) I received them in an off hitch. They arrived charged and ready to pair. Pairing was simple, the buttons are simple as well. No double triple clicking etc. the app for setting up is straightforward and easy to follow. Now, for performance: First wear was on a commercial flight. With earplugs in, these performed excellent. Beyond expectation. After I landed I continued to stream my podcast without the earplugs. Nice and clear, while still being aware of my surroundings. At work: I drive off-road trucks. These things are old and loud. Once again, extremely impressed with performance. On calls, there is some background noise but it is manageable. I can “hear” the conversation well. The standby battery life lasts longer than my 12 hour shifts. No discomfort from wearing them at all. Glasses frames fit nicely with them as well. Safety department does not seem to have any issues with them. They are not “earbuds” and do not block out radio traffic or other communication. I am very pleased with this purchase. I’ve had them for two weeks, so have nothing to report on how long they will last in a work environment, but it looks promising. Hopefully this review will help someone make their decision on work Bluetooth devices. Be safe, and take care.

Shokz Open Run Pro2. 179.00 USD Arrived 3pm 100% charge out the box Went to charge and thought it’d be a special magnet charger. Not looking forward to having to buy specific replacements and the charger is type C! Easy connection with a simple connection sound. Not the “pairing” and “connected” ai voice. Open the setting app to Bluetooth , select device, start listening. Good volume and bass for the tech available However the microphone is horrible as far as discord calls and phone calls have gone. These, I have been told, have NO NOISE SUPPRESSION. (You can hear all background sound, wind, airplanes, cars, buses, tires on the road, etc. Very sensitive audio) Audio input sounds like a 2G Motorola phone from 1992. Take that as you will. Easy volume and media 1-2-3 click controls. Left earpiece has a button. One click: play/pause two click: next song three click: previous song long hold: virtual assistant via phone Ex: Siri Comfortable but bulky with glasses. Quick to ear fatigue. I frequently forget I’m wearing them if they aren’t in use Great battery life. I got them at 3. Checked battery at 11 and I was on 70% Open ear safe for factory security( my employer is extremely hard on safety. These unobstructed ears are safe at work!) On safety, they came with reflective tape! Quick charge. Full charge in approximately 30 minutes. Easy to charge on the commute to work. They came with a neck strap. They feel secure enough I don’t feel the need to wear it. I am impartial to it. I’d feel confident wearing these under extreme conditions and they would not budge. Sky diving, bungee jumping, white water rafting(check the swim pros for 32gb of mp3 storage for underwater listening and a WATERPROOF design) One size fits most. There is a size chart on Shokz website and it is true to size. I feel I may have benefited from the minis however I feel it is a minor design flaw not having these be adjustable. I can fit a full hand between my head and the headband. I feel the earpiece itself could afford to be slightly more flexible. It is very stiff contributing to that ear fatigue. Private listening. My partner had to get within 3 inches of my ear to hear anything at 100% So private you can share a pillow. Late night listening at 30% volume on my iPhone 14, was perfect volume to share a pillow with my partner and he couldn’t hear anything. After 50% it was loud enough he could faintly hear it in a quiet room. On separate pillows, 100% volume is detectable in a quiet room by my partner. We turned on a fan and it made it undetectable. However, turning on the fan, did make my listening experience less pleasant due to the open ear. Counter to that however, laying down on my ear did double the volume without decreasing any of the comfort! Not great for back sleepers. The back strap protrudes about half an inch from my head. Laying on my back forces the earpieces to shift from where they need to sit. Side sleeping is 10/10. I can sleep uninterrupted 6 hours. No issues. Makes my alarm private! I sleep in these with them on and idle through the night. Allowing my alarm to only wake me. Not disturbing my partner in the slightest. I have a hypersensitivity to Nickel and other metals in headphones plus a hypersensitivity to latex in rubbers. These have caused NO ADVERSE ALLERGIC REACTIONS. Discreet for most. I keep my head shaved and beard short so they are easy to see on me. My partner has shoulder length hair and an inch long full beard. You can’t see them unless you are hunting for them. Under a toboggan? No way. Hair frames your face? Easy. Unfortunately limited in color selection. This product is a great value for the quality. For a fair review across the board I’m giving this 9.2/10.

Average quality, but good technology Mic quality is bad, not working well on any Meetings

Bone conduction is NOT effective, Almost like a wireless headset only. However, sound is good to use in indoors. I was using open move which was good for outdoor use though sound is less. Overall, Openrun Pro2 is not giving value for money…

Je suis bluffé par les écouteurs. Je l'ai acheté à sa sortie pour mes balades à vélo (en terrain privé bien sûr), et c'est incroyable. ✅ Le son est impressionnant, plusieurs modes disponibles sur l'application en fonction des gouts, je l'ai sur bass boosted pour la musique et podcasts. ✅ La durée est vraiment longue aussi, je ne suis jamais tombé à court à batterie. ✅ Le confort est pas mal du tout, parfois, j'ai mal aux tempes, là où les écouteurs reposent, mais c'est minime. ✅ Tiens bien la pluie et la sueur ! ✅ Le micro est incroyable, on m'entend super bien alors que le vent souffle super fort ! ✅ Ne bouge absolument pas pendant la course à pied. ⚠️ Attention, si vous êtes dans un environnement bruyant, le son est facilement camouflé Pour la taille, j'ai pris normal. Voir sur leur site pour comment choisir sa taille !

Till now good. Will update in next few months how its going. I had blood clot in one of my ear drums after that I am paranoid wearing any headphones over ears. These r best thing for me.

I’ve been using Shokz headphones for the past few months, and I absolutely love them! They’ve been one of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time. .Use Case My primary use cases are outdoor walks and bicycle rides, and I’m happy to report that these headphones deliver excellent sound quality and are incredibly easy to use. Whether I’m in a noisy train station or taking calls on Microsoft Teams, they perform flawlessly. The impressive battery life is another standout feature, making them reliable for long sessions. .Pros Sound Quality: Clear and consistent, even in noisy environments. Ease of Use: Simple controls and an intuitive design. Battery Life: Long-lasting, perfect for extended use. .Areas for Improvement While the overall experience has been great, there are a few areas where the Shokz headphones could improve: ..Lack of Smart Assistant Support There’s no integration with smart assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri. This would have been a valuable addition for hands-free commands. ..Microsoft Teams While the headphones work seamlessly with Microsoft Teams on both my phone and Windows computer, the left action button ends calls instead of muting them. This means I have to mute/unmute myself using the phone or computer, which is inconvenient. ..Inconsistent Multi-Tap Functionality The triple-tap gesture for controlling music (e.g., Spotify or YouTube Music) doesn’t always register, leading to some frustration during playback. ..Voice Quality in Teams Calls Although the voice quality is fine in quiet environments, I’ve been told that it’s not as clear as my Jabra Elite 7 Active earbuds, especially in noisy settings. ..Unprogrammable Left Button The left button is not customizable and is hardwired for specific actions, limiting personalization. ..Limited App Features The companion app is very basic, offering only EQ adjustments, multipoint connection settings, and firmware updates. More functionality would significantly enhance the experience. .Final Thoughts Despite these minor drawbacks, the Shokz headphones have been a fantastic addition to my tech collection. They excel in outdoor and noisy environments, making them perfect for active lifestyles. With a few software updates and feature improvements, they could easily become the best in their category.
