Was looking for a replacement for my Backbeats that I have had for years. Short version, I am keeping these Shokz OpenRun 2s but hoping their product teams reads this and improves on the design for future offerings. However, they are not perfect and can only give them 4 stars with a clear concious. Pros: Great fit and battery life. Easy to pair and useful app. My recommendation is before even opening these headphones, download the app and get it ready. The EQ adjustments took the sound from average to great after enabling the bass boost. It is native USB C which is exactly what I was looking for. Battery life has been excellent. Cons: Took one star off because of the backstrap. It is too rigid and should be made of flexible silicon or similar material so it can be folded into a ball. The backstrap on the OpenRun Pro 2 is rigid and when your head is tilted like riding on a bike off seat or doing chest / shoulder presses, it gets in the way. If it was flexible silicon, it would bend. The other issue with the rigid approach on the OpenRun 2s is that the case that comes with it is much larger than needed because of the rigid backstrap. With respect to sound quality, it is great but only under perfect conditions. My stationary bike is about 7 feet away from my HVAC system. When it comes on, I can definitely hear it. Same with running parallel to a busy road. Did not ding a star because buying an open ear headset, I knew there would be some limitations. Same for running on a treadmill, the background. noise is somewhat overwhelming for me. There are zero safety considerations when I am on a treadmill. Read more

Excelentes, tengo los open run normales, los cuales me encantaban para correr o andar en bici, pero la calidad del audio aumentó exponencialme con esta versión pro 2gen, hasta para disfrutar la música en casa. Super recomendados y en el precio de 2699.00 sin pensarlo. Read more

Unfortunately, I will be returning this headset also. It seems to work okay, but when I talk with people on the phone they complaint that it is not as clear as my old one (which has the boom mike). So I like the fact that this one gives 12 hours of talk time, I will be returning it to get the OpenComm2 with the boom mike. I tried this model and the swim model and I would still be using my original one if the left side speaker hadn't gone out and the headset stop holding a charge for more than 4 hours. Hopefully switching back to the one with the boom mike will be my last exchange. Read more

I bought the OpenRun Pro 2 bone conducting headphones out of curiosity. Wanted to compare them to an older set I have owned for a few years. To my surprise, the OpenRun Pro 2 sound amazingly good and they solve the 2 issues I had with my older set. 1. The OpenRun Pro 2 are charged via Type C cable. I no longer have to carry a second cable just for my headphones. 2. I don't get the jarring vibration when the volume is to high during my walks. I honestly bought them thinking if they don't perform, they're going right back. Turns out they outperformed my expectations. I am definitely keeping them. Read more

I bought this primarily for my work meeting (I know they have a version for meetings) and secondary for everything else. The mic wasn’t great for meeting but the sound quality is through the roof. I never tried a previous model to understand the difference since I can’t feel much of the bone induction/vibration but the updated app introduce the classic (vibration) mode but the new mode is better. It’s not bad if you wear glasses. It’s a bit uncomfortable laying down with it since it pushes on the back of your ears. Maybe the the mini would have been better since I measure slightly more for the standard. These do not move when you are exercising/jumping up and down from push-up position/etc. I do wish we can connect to more than 2 devices at a time (not sure if that is a hardware or software limitation).

So this is my third set. I wear these almost 24 hours a day. The new Open Run Pro 2 is a HUGE improvement in music sound quality, but that is not why I have these. For music, I have quality in-ear buds w/ANC. These I wear because I make my living on the phone. And like to hear all that is going on around me yet still have wireless connectivity to my phone. The Pro 2 is an improvement in almost everyday except for....The charging port. The pro of the new charging part is it's USB C, so my phone and headset can use the same charger. The con if the new USB C is there is almost ZERO chance these will meet their claimed water resistance rating as the port is on a curved and the rubber plug does not fit flush or stay in place 100%. This is not an issue for me as I'm not out innthe weather. If I was, I would definitely get Shokz with the magnetic charging part. Overall, fir my purposes these are best in class. Read more

I lost my original OpenRuns (5 year's old) somewhere between here and Budapest. :8( I own five great headphones but that one was special in it's comfort and unobtrusiveness. It lacked decent clarity and the base, while OK, was sort of disconnected from the rest of the sound, perhaps due to the bone connection technology. Anyway, IL found myself grieving enough to buy the new model. Wow....just Wow. Far crisper high end (great for actually hearing a movie dialog) and rich lows (for grooving to my music). An added bonus is the ability to use a USB-C connector rather than their custom one. The jury is still out as to wether or not it's weather sealing will be adequate. All in all, a distinct upgrade to an already usful toy. Replace an old model if you have one? Probably depends on your usage. - For running/workouts, probably not since you're not really doing critical listening. - For movies, audio books and music to relax with, absolutely. - For noisy environments (think airplanes, trains, spaceX launches) not so much. There you'll need a decent IEM (cheap Sonys work fine). - For high end critical music listening? That's beyond the scope of this write up and my old ears. That's a snake pit of opinions I'll let others wriggle in. Read more

Having owned several pairs of AfterShokz over the years, I can say the Pro2 is a serious upgrade. The sound quality improvement is instantly noticeable, with better bass and clarity than previous models. I mainly use these for running, and being able to hear my surroundings while enjoying music is exactly why I keep coming back to this brand. Quick tip that might save someone else some frustration: if the volume seems too low, check your phone's "Reduce Loud Audio" setting - turning this off made a huge difference for me. I discovered this through their customer service team, who were super helpful. Yes, they're a bit pricey, but as someone who uses them daily for runs, work calls, and everything in between, they're worth the investment. The comfort and secure fit during workouts are unmatched. These have honestly replaced all my other headphones, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Read more

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. Read more
