Finally I can upgrade from the OpenMoves now that they make another one with a USB-C port!!

I have my Wingman for over 5 years now, I used it both properly and not properly and it held up perfect. Doesn't have the most function but have everything I need for everyday urban environment.

Getting these for MTB, thanks for showing how they don't quite fit with a full face.

First off, thanks for your video clip. I have watched many on the remarkable 2 and Type Folio. I would just like you to tell me a number between 1-10 (10 being awesome) Is this device good for writing short stories/chapters? Thank you.

hi awesome video!! question, for epidemic sound can I use multiple songs in one TH-cam video? Or is there a limit per video?

Unlimited budget what is the best device for writing to text

Here’s a Video idea! You should do a comparison with movengine’s m800 supposedly beats this out of the water and its foldable

Great review, thanks for taking the effort.

Best review so far I have watched! I have been a fan of Shokz since the aeropex model when they were still known as aftershokz. I personally thought the openrun and openrun pro were a step back from the aeropex model, thus I will be curious how these will hold up to the aeropex. I did recently get the openfit and I absolutely hated them. The sound quality was the only thing I liked. The controls were awful and rarely ever worked so I was constantly using the device I had them paired with to control them. The bluetooth connection did not pair well and was inconsistent on how much distance I could get. They always felt like they were going to slip off of my ears when exercising. The worst part was that the direct pitch made me feel like I was wearing those inner headphones which I can't wear. I was developing ear issues and headaches that I get from inner ear headphones. In the end I sent them back, returned to wearing my refurbished aeropex, and will be getting a pair of the openrun pro 2 to see if they are worth the hype.

Thanks for the review ! How would you say they compare to the Suunto wing ?

I'm a mountain biker, what type of bike do you have? Helpful review btw!

Great review! Useful, real world details.

Does it handle wind noise any better?

Is it the mini size ?

I swim on a masters team everyday. The open swim and previous name were flawless, until either the plastic charger tab would brake and the clam shell would not stay shut, or the actual earphone part separates from the headband, near the buttons, allowing water to get in and ruin them. That being said, I have had 3 pair and each lasted about 1 year, swimming around 3000 yards each day. Just bought the pro versiion, so we will see how long they last. The seam between the headphone and headband area, does appear to be different and more robust. SHOKZ WILL NOT stand behind the 2 year warranty when registered, so don't count on that. They really should be ashamed of that policy.

Upgraded from Aeropex… USB-C and a fuller sound. I would never compare bone conduction to in ears especially for music. These remain my primary way of listening to podcasts whilst riding my bike, more safely!

Tested this week, no vibration great, usb-c great, look great BUT I commute 8 hours a week and go through a fairly quite Oxford (at 07:00) and with light wind and buses I need to put it on about 75% volume unfortunately they lasted 4 1/2 hours, Now my beats flex last a whole week I used in left ear when on the road and put the right in once I hit cycle paths, they are clearer on 25% and the batter lasts all week the biggest bug for me is battery power I expect them to last al all day ride 6-8 hours at least but 4 1/2 - 5 hours is simply not good enough it means I would need to charge half way through a long ride day :/ I really wished the battery would better

What happens if you want to collab on an Instagram reel with someone, and you have an Epicdemic license but the other person you're collabing with doesn't?

I just bought them and went for a bike ride today and they don't vibrate AT ALL! No vibration and Usb-c is perfect!

I bought them before all the sponsored videos were out (existing customers had early access). I love them and very happy I did!

Did you do the sound leakage test or demo at 100% volume? Just trying to gauge how much a co worker may hear if I use these in a quite office setting.

I have the previous model USB C port alone sold me on the upgrade

Great review!

I picked up my openrun pro 2 a week ago. I currently have the aftershokz aeropex. The openrun pro2 have more bass, but I think I like the "in my head" sound when making calls on the original 2019 aeropex better. With loud ambient noise, I find it harder to hear with the new one. If I place my fingers in my ear canals or use foam ear plugs, the sound increases a lot on the aeropex. On the new model, the sound is reduced a lot. I believe the air speaker is is the problem. Maybe on the bone conduction driver 1 The placement of the new headset is not as close to your skin 2 It is smaller to make room for the other driver. 3 Or, it is not energized as much to increase the battery of all four drivers (it is my understanding there are 2 per side) I am obviously speculating. Other family members like the sound of the new ones better, but I am about to return the new one and try the open run pro. However, the new one is better to listen to music in a quieter ambient environment. Hopefully, this may be a software controlled remedy..ie reduce the volume of individual speakers. I know I receive comments like..these were design to hear your surroundings or buy an in ear set for loud noises. I have a previous bone conduction that works great in loud environment.

You are talking about Bose audio quality in this video. Have you tried the Bose Ultra Open?

I can not connect to my WiFi.🛜 I open WiFi on the watch, search for my WiFi, write the password, press the ✅ button, and then nothing happens. Any advice is appreciated 🙂

I got them and love them. They are open ear which will never be as good as in ear. For what they are, I think they are great.

I've owned every single version of the shokz. This one is much better. It isn't mind blowing like any in ear headphone, and it probably never will be but the bass is way more balanced and the vibration is gone. Of course I also set the eq through the app, which is probably important as well.

Thanks. Do they really hold firmly while kitesurfing? I have the Sony WS Modell Series from a fee years ago (in ears). They do well, but, well I would live to hear my environment. Thanks

I cant take any review seriously when anyone compares anything to Bose. There are far better headphones (Sony, Sennheiser, etc). Use them as a baseline at least.

Got them both and find the sound quality improvements substantial over the original Openrun Pro. I’m a sucker for sound quality and have some pretty expensive headphones and ciem’s. Even though the OR Pro2’s can’t compare to any of those in terms of sound quality I thoroughly enjoy using them. I love having my ear channel open and have acceptable sound quality. What I dislike most, surprisingly, over the old ones is the USB-C. The old magnetic connectors were much easier in use than the little rubber USB-C dustcap..to me at least

Awesome real review. It really rubbed me the wrong way seeing how many clearly sponsored and “ad-read” style reviews we got on release for these.

Ive used Shokz products and also have these new set. For me it cuts all the advantages of bone conduction and replaces it with air drivers. Yes they sound better, but not as good as similar priced headphones so whats the point? Again your diminishing the bone conduction advantages to get better sound, but not as good of sound as you could with earbuds or over the ears.

Hi guys please also try the open swim pros as well. I have both and the swims are magnificent

I believe going forward all products must use Micro-c connection...

Got them also and I do t think they are louder. Clearer sound yes but not louder

For now, it's always a tradeoff. Sound quality for awareness. The louder something is the less you can hear of something else. That is to say, there is no technology where we can have amazing awareness and great sound quality at the same time. These are for people that want to listen to some light background music while they are cycling or really needing to be fully aware of their surroundings.For instance, these are not needed for working out in a safe environment where there is very little chance of communication (others talking to you) and danger. You should review these based off their intent and not the unrealistic expectation that you want (an no technology has).

The most stupid things you can buy!! You want the feeling of pencil and papper go and buy a pencil and a notebook for 2 dollars🤯

I like your reviews you were honest and straight to the point🎉

I just received them two days ago and I am impressed so far. I don't feel any vibration, which is a big improvement compared to my OpenRun. Since I have these on most of the day, I prefer the orange of the UR Pro 2 to the blue of the OP. Also, the bass is amazing!

It's so weird but yeah i got my openswim pros and they fit in my full face I like your honest reviews

Appreciate a real review, thank you!

Excellent review. very helpful. And yes it does rain a lot in Scotland :)

In some ways they're different enough to the originals that calling them 2 is a bit false. The bone conduction element of them is far far less than the originals - but as you point out, that has some benefits - it's just that they no longer really seem like "bone conduction" headphones with how heavily they lean on traditional "air conduction" to get the sound in your ear.

Does it connect to a Garmin watch whilst swimming? Or do I need to download music MP3 style to the shoks?

I love your accent dude. Ive just ordered one for my note taking and poetry. I like simplicity.

I had a different pair of shokz and they did work with my full face when i tilt the band down (didn't do much to the sound) i hope the pros are the same

The new Shokz Openrun 2 blow these away.

I've been swimming laps with OpenSwim Pro and they're the best thing since sliced bread! Sounds great using MP3 function as well as Bluetooth. I also have Klipsch sport earbuds that sound fantastic, but I find that I usually just keep using the OpenSwim set for convenience. You forget they're on and I like not being cut off from the rest of the world as I go about my day after the swim. See a lot of griping about the special charging cord. I don't agree. It attaches itself when they're close enough, charges quickly. I store it and headset in the nice zippered pouch that comes with it. I've had them for 3 mos now and can't think of one thing to complain about. If you swim regularly, get them.

Good to hear that I’m not the only one using them on the maximum volume or at least 80% all the times I use them just for swimming but they just not loud enough for me
