"Most first-time users will genuinely be shocked at how clear their music sounds, when the headphones are barely touching their ears. Running outside, it's almost like two tracks playing in your head at the same time-and both your surroundings and your music are perfectly clear."
"They sound louder and clearer than the default OpenRun, and the ear hook fit is tweaked just slightly to be more comfortable for more ear shapes. The battery life is 50 percent better, lasting up to 12 hours on a charge."
"When it comes to resistance against water and dust particles, the Pro 2 receives a lower IP rating. They will still hold up to a shitload of sweat, but just know that any amount of submersion can be a risk of rendering these inoperable."
Shokz pioneered bone conduction headphones, with the original OpenRun serving as an Amazon bestseller and recommended entry point for first-time users. The technology delivers surprisingly clear music while maintaining awareness of surroundings. However, the 8-hour battery life makes it better suited as a dedicated workout headphone rather than everyday use. The Pro 2 upgrade provides louder, clearer sound, improved comfort fit, extended 12-hour battery life, and convenient USB-C charging. The trade-off is a lower water resistance rating compared to the original OpenRun, making it unsuitable for swimming or diving, though it withstands heavy sweat exposure.
