Shokz  OpenRun Pro2 Headphones

I’ve been using the Shokz Pro Run 2 Blue Limited Edition for my workouts, and it has been one of the best fitness accessories I’ve owned. The open-ear design is incredibly comfortable, especially during long workouts and strenuous activities. One of the biggest benefits I’ve noticed is that it relieves the headache and ear pressure I used to experience when wearing traditional headphones or headsets. Since nothing is inserted into my ears, I can exercise comfortably without feeling any discomfort, even during intense training sessions. The sound quality is impressive for an open-ear headset, and I love being able to stay aware of my surroundings while still enjoying my music and podcasts. The Blue Limited Edition also looks sleek and stylish. If you’re someone who experiences ear fatigue, headaches, or pressure from regular earbuds and headphones, I highly recommend the Shokz Pro Run 2. It’s comfortable, practical, and perfect for active lifestyles.

Loved sound quality, noticed the expansive speaker compared to the tiny sound hole on my openrun. Battery lasted forever! Wish I could get 3 more clicks on the volume, still not loud enough.

These headphones are Awesome sounding and super comfortable! I would recommend to Anyone.

I also own the OpenRun Pro. The OpenRun Pro 2 headphones sound a lot better and have more sound options through the shokz app. If I am wearing earplugs at work I need to change the sound to classic mode, which in turn makes the sound quality the same as the original OpenRun Pro. The original OpenRun Pro uses a proprietary magnetic charging cord. I really like this cord because it has a decent length and is easy to hook up to the headphones. The disadvantage to this cord is proprietary if you lose it, you need to order another one. The OpenRun Pro 2 uses the widely available USB-C, though the one it comes with is on the short side. The main button used to play/pause music or answer the phone is smaller on the OpenRun Pro 2, I prefer the larger one on the original OpenRun Pro. Either of these headphones are great if you work in construction. You can converse with people around you, though if you're on a phone call the people around you will think you are talking to them. A lot of construction sites do not allow headphones because you cannot hear the dangers around you. With this type of headphone they have no argument because your ears are not plugged/covered and you can hear the environment around you. It is 2025, I believe I've had my original OpenRun Pro headphones since 2021. I wear them Monday through Friday for about 8 hours a day. I charge them after work on my drive home. I have never had them run out of battery life. The OpenRun Pro 2 headphones are about a month old, I have had zero battery issues so far.

As a legally blind person, I absolutely love Shokz headphones. I have a pair of OpenRun Pro Mini-Original and love the ability to hear my music or phone calls with my ears open so I can hear traffic and the environment around me. I received a Try Before You Buy set of OpenRun Pro 2 Mini and can definitely notice the difference in them compared to older version. The OpenRun Pro 2 has a nice new feature for air conduction that helps remove vibration in the headset and improves bass, and the increased volume makes it even nicer to be able to jam out to music and still have the ability to hear what going on around me. These are a perfect gift for everyone. Especially those who are vision impaired or blind and want to have the ability to hear the environment around them while walking.

I have the minis and thought the back would sit on my head more but for the most part they are fine. My ears did have to get use to the strap around the top part of them but I like them. I wish I could mute my phone with the press of the buttons and not just hang up, and the volume starts low so I have to turn them up all the time but they are ok for the most part…

Battery life is good and they charge fast I sometimes forget I have them on so good in comfort but the sound quality for music is on the poor side that being said if I want to listen to music I can put on quality phones or a pair of speakers, the quality for voice is great or at least not noticeably bad and I like everything about them except using the for music 3.5 stars

I do love my Shokz for running or walking. I can hear my music and still hear traffic or if people talk to me as they go by. The sound quality is good. The fit is great - I have never been able to keep ear buds in my ears when I'm moving, even with the adjustable caps, and regular over the ear headphones give me a headache. These stay put, and they don't hurt, even with glasses and a lycra headband in my hair. (The Shokz are not loud enough for things like mowing or listening to my book while doing DIY projects like sanding furniture. ) It's been a bit of a learning curve to find the buttons while I'm moving, but I'm getting the hang of it!

My partner and I love our Shokz headphones so much that they are basically extensions of our bodies because we wear them so often. They're so comfortable that it's easy to forget they're on and accidentally leave them on all day, though I do notice a little bit more discomfort with the v2 than the v1 after wearing them for hours (I wear glasses too). The bone conduction headphones are a game changer because you can hear what's going on around you while using them. The audio feels noticeably more surround sound on the v2, though I wish they would get louder because it is difficult to hear the audio when my surroundings are loud (like in the gym).

I am a big music listener, I have nice studio monitors and studio grade headphones, so I was skeptical about bone conducting headphones. I realize these serve a totally different purpose than hifi listening, but I still wasn’t sure how I’d feel. A few weeks in, and I’m loving them! The sound quality is incredible, easily on par with in ears like AirPods and the like. For working out, walking the dogs, or taking calls on the go, the open ear design is phenomenal. With earplugs in, the sound quality is even better and great for working in a noisy cafe or just trying to get some privacy. Love these so far and can’t recommend them enough!
