@@31_pandeputuarymahendra58 i do t believe the door on the usb c is gonna last. I have only charged my pro 2 3 times and it is difficult to get the door to latched closed and stay.
I have the original open runs, which I love but I have to say my largest use case is listening to podcasts and music as I fall asleep because there’s nothing inside my ears. I’m side sleeper and most curious about the new model is how much bleed is there so I don’t wake up my spouse while listening topodcasts or audiobooks as I sleep
Perfect. Just what I wanted to wake up too! I'll find out in 23mins if my bank account is going to be 159 lighter or if there aren't enough changes to warrant the upgrade. Thanks guys!
USB C!! Thank God. Charging cable/port is def the worst thing about Open Run, half the time the thing never charges even though the charger is clearly connected!
@timboyer8783 On the fence a bit. Considering putting my Pros on eBay at a high ish (maybe £80) starting. If they get some action and sold at £80+ I'll then buy the new ones. If not maybe stick with what I have. The upgrades look good but they're quite marginal on the current model. USB C and two hours extra being the main ones it seems.

Less vibration = Bone conduction reduction I picked up my Openrun Pro 2 a week ago. I currently have the Aftershokz Aeropex. The Openrun pro2 has more bass but, I like the "in my head" bone conduction sound when making calls on the original, Aeropex better. With loud ambient noise, I find it harder to hear with the new one. If I place my fingers in my ear canals or use foam ear plugs, the sound increases a lot on the aeropex. On the new model, the sound is reduced a lot. I believe the addition of the air speaker is the problem. Maybe the problem of the bone conduction driver is: 1 The placement on the new headset is not as close to your skin 2 It is smaller to make room for the other driver. 3 Or, it is not energized as much to increase the battery play time of all four drivers (it is my understanding there are 2 per side) I am obviously speculating. However, the new one is better to listen to music in a quieter ambient environment. Hopefully, this may be a software controlled remedy..ie reduce/increase the volume of individual speakers. I know I will receive comments Such as..these were designed to hear your surroundings or buy an in ear set for loud noises. I have a previous bone conduction that works great in loud environment. These are reduced volume compromise of the open air and the original bone conduction models. Also...I allowed someone with loss hearing/needs hearing aids try the new pro 2. He stated the volume was too low. He has the openrun pro and can hear well with them.
I loved my openrun pro's but moved over to the oladance air conduction headphones and never looked back. For me they give you almost as good situation awareness but with much better sound and comfort. Still use my openruns every now and again as I have them

FYI Shokz has a competing product to oladance - called openfit. Both are very similar technology and both have great sound quality (I own both and use both).
I actually like the magnetic charge cable in the previous gen. Very easy to just put it up to the headset and it magnetically attaches. Very simple. That convenience is worth the incovenience of not having a standard charge cable to me. I have so many of these over the years that by now I have 2 cables. I leave one at work and one at home mainly. I really don't like the whole flap thing to reveal a USB charge port. That is seen in lots of other manufacturers productions and just doesn't seem as nice to me. The ealier versions of the Aftershokz headsets were like that and I thought the magnetic connection is a better solution. I do realize that my opinion on that is likely not the majority opinion on it though. It is convenient to use a standard USB-C port for when you forgot your charger on a longer trip, but some planning ahead or just buying a spare charge cable to place in your car for an emergency can help with forgetfulness. I can get over that if the sound is even better with the pro 2. Looking forward to getting some.
If you want to sell in Europe a phone, headphone, computer… You must have a USB C. That’s mandatory in EU to prevent from having 30 different cables and more ecologic
@@corentinm5169 Yea, I forgot about that (being in the US). I have mixed feelings about that. Great for the consumer in some ways (standardization). I really didn't like what apple did with their lightning connector requiring MFI stuff for example. At the same time though it might not be great in other ways for whatever the next method that could become a standard years from now that might not ever happen because of regulation forcing older USB-C stuff (I assume 10 years from now USB-C will likely could be old stuff).
I agree - the charging port cap is another point of failure for water ingress. Amazon sells Shokz mag plug to USB-C dongles - I keep one handy in my travel kit to be able to charge without an extra cable.
I just got mine today (ordered with next day expedited shipping). There is a noticeable improvement in sound quality over the previous pro version to me. Less muddy as in highs are clearer and lows are better too. I haven't tested the microphone yet (which is really important) but the mixing of the 2 techs (bone and air) seems to be a winning combination. Less buzzing at high volumes too, but I rarely use high volumes for my use case and the pro was fine to me in that area, but it is nice to have less vibrations with the air being used more for bass. I am glad to see this new model. Worth the upgrade to me for sure. I can get over not having the magnetic cable, but I still prefer that for ease of connection for charging.

My openrun pro's have been disappointing with regards to moisture durability. I had a pair die on me, and the second is already blinking due to moisture intrusion, despite not getting wet per se. I live in Florida and it's just insanely humid and there's a lot of sweat of course, but I thought they were meant to handle these sorts of conditions. Maybe the 2s are better?
@@shipleyag Agree about the service. They sent me a new pair despite the fact that my purchase evidence was a somewhat sketchy screenshot of my purchase rather than a proper receipt. Unfortunately I've had them two weeks and they are already blinking for water damage again. The stopped blinking and got me through a run this morning, but I could only control them with my phone as none of the buttons worked.

With bone conduction, sound leakage is pretty low. Unless, you're really cranking it up to max volume. Air conduction is the one where sound leaks a lot, even on medium volume, particularly in quiet environments.
@@user-gp1bt4vm3r Thanks, was afraid of that so I’ll stick to the Openrun Pro I use now. Got multiple proprietary cables so USB-C for now is not the reason to buy the new Pro2 version.

My openrun pro's have been disappointing with regards to moisture durability. I had a pair die on me, and the second is already blinking due to moisture intrusion, despite not getting wet per se. I live in Florida and it's just insanely humid and there's a lot of sweat of course, but I thought they were meant to handle these sorts of conditions. Maybe the 2s are better?
This is the only complaint I’ve had with my Pros. Alabama humidity killed my last pair but their customer service was great.
@@shipleyag Agree about the service. They sent me a new pair despite the fact that my purchase evidence was a somewhat sketchy screenshot of my purchase rather than a proper receipt.
Unfortunately I've had them two weeks and they are already blinking for water damage again. The stopped blinking and got me through a run this morning, but I could only control them with my phone as none of the buttons worked.

How loud is the bass air conduction for other folks in your vicinity? In other words, what's the level of noise pollution for others? I don't want to be that jerk forcing other people around me to listen to my crap.
Buy Them And Try But No One Ever Complains Or Gives Me FuNnY Looks

The on off button on the Pro stopped working for me on two pairs a few months in. Is the Pro 2 more robust?

I’d pay extra to keep the magnetic charging.
I personally am so glad that I now only need a USB C cable with me to charge any of my devices.
Yea, the magnetic charger was so much more convenient in my opinion. Just stick it on and it'll charge. Little bummed I'll have to deal with a rubber flap that'll inevitably fail on me one day.
Agreed!
I agree. Two usb c openmove’s died on me. I don’t believe the water resistance specs are up to it.

How much is the sound leakage? I’m using them next to people and don’t want to disturb them.
With bone conduction, sound leakage is pretty low. Unless, you're really cranking it up to max volume. Air conduction is the one where sound leaks a lot, even on medium volume, particularly in quiet environments.
@@user-gp1bt4vm3r Thanks, was afraid of that so I’ll stick to the Openrun Pro I use now. Got multiple proprietary cables so USB-C for now is not the reason to buy the new Pro2 version.
It has two drivers, so there could be some noise leakage@@user-gp1bt4vm3r
... Yes, hence the question, since these have airconduction bass drivers in them....
@@butwhowasmoto2739 Air conduction BASS drivers. Low frequency is not very audible, especially with these small drivers.
nice, i got my openrun pro 3 months ago. just saying.

@@DroidLocks6971do they get any louder than the 1st gen pros?
the openrun actually sound better than the openrun pros in my experience due to the volume issue.
.... My Original Openrun Pros Get 12 To 14 Hours Per Charge....
I Have the pros 2 coming I hope they are noticeably better if not I'll send them back....
You're weird.
UA-camrs have convinced everyone that we all want USB-C. The magnetic charger was much better.
USB C is actually very nice because, 1) it can fast charge faster than USB A, 2) USB is ubiquitous.... Assuming it's not USB C 5v.... That crap is dumb and used by so many cheap devices that require a USB A to USB C cable.
@tanker242 I'm indifferent. Magnetic charger is great, but I'm screwed if I lose it.
