As usual, everyone is suggesting the Shokz openrun pro 2. While theyre good, be mindful they often break after about 12 months. The volume power buttons stop working and they lose the ability to charge. I wasn't aware, until mine did the same. Checked online and saw a looooot of other people have ha

I would be careful with the Openrun Pro 2 if you're doing sweaty workouts. I am a fairly sweaty guy and the moisture gets into the 'speakers' and massively messes with the sound quality. After running for 30mins. They are almost unusable. I complained to Shokz and they basically said... They shouldn

I've had mine for about year. I opened a warranty claim two days ago for this very reason. I use them daily. The button started getting iffy a few months ago and now won't work at all. OpenRun Pro 2. I have three Shokz products but the Open Runs are the only ones with an on/off button. My only probl

Sharing my experience in case it helps others. My first Shokz OpenRun Pro died within a year. The left speaker stopped working during normal use (daily runs, ~1 hour). To their credit, Shokz replaced it under warranty. But here’s the problem - the replacement unit has now failed in the exact same wa

Hard to say for sure without the app to see that it's legit. Not sure if you could ask for a serial number or something or look at ratings. I have never purchased anything through AliExpress. Maybe someone who has sold many of the Shokz if that's possible. Here was a search result which seems like a

I don’t have tons of insight, but I have Openrun Pro (not pro 2) which I have had die on me roughly every 4-6 months, which I attribute to heavy sweat. Customer service has been great, but I have just killed my 3rd pair in a little over a year. I’ve now bought the regular openrun for the same reason

I've had this problem on my laptop as well. It also ruined pairing for my old pair of shokz and killed the quality. I unpaired both sets of headphones and have been able to fix the connection with my old pair. I haven't re-tried with the OpenRun Pro 2s. Honestly I'm bummed by the pro 2s in general.

I've had 3 pairs of Shokz die from just sweat exposure. The last pair was a 2 week old pair of OpenRun Pro 2 and died during the first 50k with them. I moved over to Anker Soundcore c50i and haven't looked back. More comfortable, better sound, get louder, and have lasted multiple very sweaty ultras
