Thank you for covering these two and comparing them. Much appreciated

Excellent review. Super clarity on every point. WELL DONE

Hey I appreciate your time to review them, I am enjoying your video, currently at the fence considering between the two.

Excellent review. I just bought the open comm headset today. I’m a commercial truck driver and this is my first experience with bone conducting headphone technology and so far it is absolutely amazing. The music sound a little tiny but it’s still not bad. Just lacking base. I got mine for $179 at the loves travel center. So if you’re a truck driver looking for a good bone conducting headset and you have $179 apart with I think you can’t go wrong.

Thanks so much, just the review I was looking for!

Nice review - THANK YOU! This was helpful

Fantastic review, thank you for this, was really helpful

Thanks for the comparison brother. Appreciate the review. :)

good job. Your explanations were perfect for someone who could not see the screen. Thank you.

I love your review! I just ordered opencomm after watching your video!

Is it compatible with MS Teams? Can you mute yourself by moving the mic to up position? Can you use it while charging?

I got the OpenMove about 7 days ago. I had considered the OpenComm, but decided the extra cost for a delivery driver was not warranted. I deliver food and am constantly calling customers while driving. I can hear GPS and customers super well. The calls come thru very clearly and loudly even while driving and customers have never had issues hearing me clearly, except during one super heavy thunderstorm with 40mph wind, but I am 99% sure that was due to the cell tower phone connection, not the headphones. The OpenMove are very comfortable on my head for 6 hours straight use. The only thing that I would love to see is if Apple made a device like this for legal use while driving (H1 chip). I considered the Airpod Pro for this use, but even though they have transparency mode, the Airpod pro cannot be used in both ears and are illegal to use while driving in many states in the USA. I prefer both ears to hear better.

Great stuff. The OpenMove is a good product in its own right, and I (or my wife) have no complaints about it.

How do these work with say "online gaming conversations"? It's always me or another person who gets feedback when I use wired headphones.

I have one of each and they have different applications for me, and the differences are why I chose them. For work, I have the OpenComm as it connects to both my personal cell phone and work cell phone simultaneously, and I can wear it all day and not have to do anything but push the button when I get a call on either unless I'm listening to music on one when the other phone gets a call, which is the only drawback in that regard. If my iPhones would let me turn the volume up even higher, I could describe how good they are at higher volumes (they do start to flattten the base out a little, though, which isn't something any bone conduction can do.) For home use, I have the OpenMove and only use it with my IPad and a specific computer, and I don't need to connect to them simultaneously, nor is there a high noise environment at home. The sound quality is great on both, even making up for some mild hearing loss in one hear. I haven't spent enough time with the microphone on the OpenMove to provide an evaluation, but the OpenComm is excellent and unobtrusive to both me and those around me. I have a big head, and the OpenComm is more comfortable for all day wear and pinches slightly less; I'm not sure why. I love the situational awareness that both bring, but in a hot environment the constant skin contact makes these pretty slippery. All in all, I'm tickled pink with both of these, and interestingly, am seeing these more and more being used by my coworkers who also appreciate them for the same reasons.

Informative video, now I consider buying one for myself. Sadly enough, I am ditching my AirPod Pro like you too. There are numerous threads on the internet that detail Airpod Pro causing ear infection like symptoms due to allegic reactions possibly because of the new silicon ear tips material. Thank you.

You can enable multipoint pairing by going into pairing, then holding the multifunction button and volume up button at the same time. That will let you pair to more than one device at the same time.

It works if followed in a particular order. Here is a great step-by-step guide to pair multiple devices: 1) Start with your headphones turned off. 2) Enter pairing mode by pressing and holding the power/volume+ button for 5-7 seconds. Audrey will say “Welcome to Titanium!” and then “pairing” and then the LED light will flash red and blue. 3) Press and hold the multifunction button and power/volume+ button at the same time for 2-3 seconds. Audrey will say “Multipoint Enabled.” 4) In your first device’s Bluetooth settings, select the Titanium. Audrey will say “Connected.” 5) Turn your headphones off. 6) Re-enter pairing mode by pressing and holding the power/volume+ button for 5-7 seconds. Audrey will say “Welcome to Titanium!” and then “pairing” and then the LED light will flash red and blue. 7) In your second device’s Bluetooth settings, select the Titanium. Audrey will say “Connected” or “Device 2 Connected.” 8) Turn your headphones off. That completes the multipoint pairing process! Your headphones should now be connected to two of your devices simultaneously the next time you turn them on. Reference: medium.com/@AfterShokz/your-guide-to-multipoint-pairing-e3c50e45f254

I have watched a LOT of headset review and comparison videos this week because I have a new job in a call center (working from home), the work supplied headset is painful, and the over-ear headphones that don't hurt with my glasses are too heavy to be comfortable. Your video is the one that's convinced me to spend £150 on the OpenComm set. Thanks for such a thorough review!

Justin, you mentioned wearing opencomm for outdoor may not be a good thing to do. I want to use it in the gym. I want to see, if I flip the mic all the way back, does it chew my ear? Will it press the ear in a way that it would be bothering after few minutes running in gym?

It doesn't chew the ear. As a bonus, it actually mutes when it is flipped back. It should be great for the gym although do bear in mind it's not fully waterproof.

Hi. I was wondering if there is a significant delay in audio while using on a computer?

@detach8

Жыл бұрын

Not that I notice in normal use (conference calls, etc.) It works like every other bluetooth device. However if you are a musician and rely on this for tempo/timing, it will definitely have the typical bluetooth lag/delay so a wired earphone is still better for that purpose.

I will when I find some time and figure out how to properly record on a mobile device. There's some videos that did that. I'd say the mic works well, but when it gets noisy outside you can't really hear - and that's when you should put some earplugs on and it'll work very well.

"you look like an idiot" - haha I appreciate your down-to-earth honest non-flashy review. I'm convinced my boss to pay for one of these but I need a dr. note - those over ear and in ear are making life uncomfortable now that i'm on the phone way more post-covid. Two ear infections the past two years. I've briefly tried these out and I know it is going to make a world of difference compared to my (very good quality Plantronics) over ear Bluetooth headphones. Cheers.

Shoud buy the openrun without the boom mic.

Within a month after I bought my first set, I exchanged this headset twice. The first set could not pair at all. The second set died off completely in 2 hours. Not the 8 hours it claimed. No matter how I reset it, the set still could not work. This product needs to improve on its quality control before selling defective sets to the consumers.
