SHOKZNew OpenRun Pro 2 - Open-Ear, Bone Conduction Sport Headphones - with Reflective Strip - Sweat Resistant, Workout Headphones - Secure, Wireless, Comfortable Fit-Deep Bass and Smart Mic AppCarbonfree Certified

These are hands down the best pair of bone conduction headphones I've ever owned-- I've tried generics that fell apart, and a mid-range Aftershokz, where the build quality, battery, and sound were okay, but they failed at the volume rocker/power button.Some general perks you get with just about any bone conduction, I bought these because I want to keep situational awareness-- walking around, I want to know if there is someone coming up behind me, be they on a bike, walking, or in a car. Of course, this means on the downside, they don't block out the annoying music or loud conversations you hear on the bus for example.I can also listen to these at work while still responding to phone calls, questions, etc. They're easy to pause and hit play again, merely by tapping on a button on the left headphone area.I also have mismatched ear-canal sizes, and I find that these are vastly more comfortable than even my other favorite headphones, the Powerbeats Pro.This pair may seem pricey, but I find that they are vastly superior-- on top of virtually no noise bleed that you get with conductive headphones at higher volumes, they battery life is amazing. I can literally wear this all day, listening to podcasts and then workouts or whatever.Another huge benefit, one of the weak points in other bone conduction headphones, are the bespoke chargers for them. My last Shokz required buying generic chargers to replace the one they came with-- these take just regular USB-C, and on top of that, they charge amazingly quickly. I'd estimate you can go from low battery to full in about 20 minutes at most.The fit is amazingly secure. I've literally forgotten I was wearing these while doing Krav Maga practice, which includes jumping jacks, summersaults, punching drills.I've even worn them in the shower (for brief periods, it doesn't recommend this, but it's worked-- just make sure you seal the USB-C port with the rubber stopper). Rain doesn't do a thing to them.The signal strength is also very strong for a pair of Bluetooth headphones. I can walk about 30 feet away until the signal starts to degrade, and I've down laundry downstairs with my phone upstairs in my room and I still get a clear signal.So far as call quality-- I will say it's a weak spot with these headphones. You can hear fine, but the microphone will really pic up a lot of background noise, such as wind and background conversations.

I don’t usually write reviews, but the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 have honestly been a standout for me. I’ve used a ton of headphones over the years, and these are easily my favorite, especially for everyday use and workouts.First off, there’s no ear fatigue. Since they don’t go in your ears, I can wear them for hours without that sore or clogged-up feeling. Whether I’m working, running, or just on calls, I barely notice I have them on.The sound quality is way better than I expected for bone conduction. Super clear vocals, podcasts sound great, and there’s more bass than I thought there’d be. They won’t replace high-end studio headphones, but they do way more than get the job done.Battery life is probably the biggest surprise - these last longer than anything I’ve used before. I only need to charge them maybe once every few days, and they charge up really quickly too.Connectivity is smooth - pairing is easy and it stays connected even when I walk across the house. Bluetooth range is strong. I’ve walked into another room and still had a perfect connection.I also like that there are actual volume buttons right on the headset. No digging for my phone or messing around during a workout. The controls are simple and make sense.The fit is secure and comfortable - it doesn’t move around even when I’m running or moving quickly. And I wear glasses, and they still feel fine with both on.If you’re thinking about trying these, I’d say go for it. They’re well-made, super convenient, and way more comfortable than traditional headphones.

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 pro2I 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.
