Shokz OpenRun Pro Review by 3 Runners: The best headphones for running?

Спорт

Shokz (formerly AfterShokz) has launched its new OpenRun Pro headphones, which sit at the top of the Shokz headphones family and are squarely aimed at runners.
The bone conduction headphones feature that signature wraparound design with Shokz promising an improvement in sound with new EQ modes, bigger battery life and a quicker fast charge mode.
Testers Mike, Nick and Tom have been testing out the OpenRun Pro to see whether Shokz has delivered on those big improvements and whether these are the best running headphones to buy right now.

    18 minute video! Great review! I have had an Openrun Pro before, and I think it is very suitable for running and has a great wearing experience. However, its low waterproof performance also limits its usage scenarios. I later used the Wissonly Hi Runner, which can be used in swimming, running, boating, cycling, hiking and other scenarios, and it is very practical.

    I am using aeropax and best advantage for this tech is phone conversations. During speaking with phone, hearing your own voice with uncovered ears are the best experience for me. And i can wear them all day long without noticing them.

    The lower water resistance is due to the open mesh at the front of each pod which is a way of enhancing the bass performance. I think that the "pro" in the name refers to enhanced sound performance (and additional runtime), not to any enhanced sports-related capabilities. A bit to the contrary, in fact.

    Does the multi pairing work at the same time from both phones for Open Run Pro? I have the Aeropex. But it didn't work if the two mobile phones screen are open. I need to turn off the screen of one phone to hear the sounds playing from my other phone. But it is connect at the same time, I'll just need to turn off the screen on the other phone to work properly.Not like in my Plantronics Voyager both phone's Bluetooth are working same time even the two phone are open screen.

    The percentage of battery left is rounded to the nearest 20% and I can't think it's linear so judging total battery life by the drop off in three hours isn't going to be accurate. Otherwise an excellent review 👍

    I love my Aeropex. Last years for me. Not a fan of that underwater feeling with in-ear headphones when running where I hear the thump of my feet. The sound is fine for me and I like hearing my environment. I would, though, love to see a comparison between these and Sony's new Linkbuds which are a more open design in terms of how they feel to a runner.

    My favorite features of the aftershokz lineup is actually the ease to just move them to your neck and forget about them without fear of losing them. I’d happily go for in-ear BT headphones with the neat titanium loop that makes this possible. Is there any that you know of??

    Operun Pro's are not worth the money if you have the Aeropex already. The sound sounds distant which makes you put up the volume more. The Sony Linkbuds has better sound quality, but less "openness" feeling than the Shokz because it's still in your ear even though it lets in ambient sound.

  • @thecheeze9001
    @thecheeze90012 жыл бұрын

    Unfortunately I don't think Aftershokz will ever improve the sound quality to match closed earbuds due to the nature of bone conduction earphones. I'd rather just listen to music with one bud in one ear, & the other open when running.

    Poor durability! I've had the older model for less than 2 years and I'm on my 3rd, that's right, 3rd warranty repair! I take care of these and the buttons fail, the charging fails and the transducer has come loose so it sounds like a bee in your ear. I do like them, when they work but they are very cheaply made for what they cost.

    18 minutes of review and no mention of the mic quality, that was one of the major drawback of the older aeropex model.
