OpenRun Air 2

liked 'em so much, I bought one for my HVAC tech son

I bicycle commute in Texas, so I needed something sweat-proof to replace my old Plantronics Backbeat Fit headsets (I bought 4 from Costco, but eventually wore them all out). After exhaustive analysis, I decided on the new OpenRun Air 2. I did not want "buds", because they would fall out during my high activity. I also didn't want in-ear system, because I want to hear my surroundings (road noise, wife/kids conversation). The battery life is GREAT. I've never had bone-conducting before, but the sound is decent. If you're flying on bike, or in a wind storm, you might miss some of your podcast .. but if you're listening to tunes, you'll be fine. I wish the "mute" was easier to toggle on/off AND had "verbal" feedback ("mute on" / "mute off"), like my old Backbeat. I turned off multipoint, because it was unreliable - so now I have to manually disconnect from one device to switch to another. Backbeat handled switching better. Son loves his .. was losing AirPods in attic insulation. I got the mini, because I wanted it follow the contour of the head/neck. Appreciate that this can accept firmware updates, in case Shokz implements any improvements. With my iPhone, I wish it would give a beep when you switch into dictation mode, and not tell me to unlock my phone when I tell Siri to call someone (happens 50% of the time)

First time shocks customer 👍👍

Was happy with my earbuds but wanted to give the open ear format a try. They are great on the trail to deliver great sound and allows to stay alert for the surrounding… These are my new everyday headphones!

Great fit, light weight, sounds great! I can wear them for hours and not feel like they're too tight, yet they stay in place. I had tried another brand and after an hour they pressed on my ear so much I couldn't get used to having them on. These are fantastic!
