OpenRun Pro 2

Okay

I had my last set of Shokz for almost 6 years. That model is no longer made. I feel like the sound is not quite as good on my new ones. I miss the magnetic charge connection and worry that the new charge cover is a potential fail point, and it's harder to manage in the dark.

theses Shoks 2 open run pro 2 are great, especially because they do not go inside my ears, but also because they do not need the extended microphone. but I do love my Shokz Open Comm 2 because they provide more verbal feedback, like power on, device connected, device disconnected, power off. if the open run pro 2 does this as well, i have not yet figured out how to get that function turned on.

Pros and Cons compared to the first iteration

The "texture" of the sound is a little better than the first iteration. Two things that I don't like: 1. with the second version there is no recurring warning when the battery is super low, so they will just power down when out of battery. 2. the first version sounded really good when you would put ear plugs in, but the second version you can barely hear with ear plugs in. My guess is there is less bone conduction with the second version.
