    ATL appears to be $134.

    Close, but no cigar.

        Incorrect. So incorrect. Aeropex, openrun, openrun pro, and openrun pro 2 all have mics

    • ferguson on 24/11/2024 - 19:05

      No, these are meant for using while exercising.

      They'll work to take calls, but shouldn't be your first choice unless you plan on taking calls while you are running/exercising.

      • Morven on 25/11/2024 - 09:56

        I use OpenRun Pro all the time around the house and at work for calls. They're fine for it. Additionally they work while exercising.

      I have the Aeropex when the brand was still called Aftershokz, and the mic is okay. Serviceable, but I wouldn't rely on it. Some people say I sound buzzy, or tinny, compared to my webcam mic.

    • rwps on 25/11/2024 - 10:34

      What you need for calls and work use is the opencomm 2. It has a boom arm for the microphone, meaning people actually hear you well.
      I swear by them. Best headphones I’ve used with my phone (and I’ve tried so many)

    • rob2018 on 25/11/2024 - 12:18

      I have one with the boom mic and it's perfect for calls.
      I stuck on a small foam pad over the mic - works great outdoors even when windy

    There's no competition for pool swimming music. The openswim pro 2 are perfect gym all rounders. Hopefully they fixed the battery swelling issue on the first iteration

    • hhuy837 on 24/11/2024 - 16:25

      I was just looking into this.. what timing to make a hole in my wallet. How do most people deal with the need to download and upload MP3s onto it?

      I've been on spotify for the longest time, I don't think I have any MP3 files anymore. It'd be nice if I could download my spotify playlists easily.

      • CyberMurning on 24/11/2024 - 16:28

        The opposite, i never paid spotify or any streaming services. I loads mp3

      • mitt on 24/11/2024 - 17:36
        +3

        The issue is water very effectively blocks bluetooth signal. Every time you duck your head you will loose signal. I DIYed my own bluetooth headphones using a bluetooth 3.5mm dongle & I had to put the bluetooth dongle on the top of my cap to keep it mostly out of the water for it to be usable.

        I eventually just sealed a mp3 player & used that.

      • belongsinforums on 24/11/2024 - 17:41
        +1

        If you google spotify to MP3 then you can find loads of websites that will kind of download the MP3s for you. They rely on other music services such as YouTube and Deezer to work. It mostly works. If you only want it for swimming or phone less runs then just get the cheaper openswims

          Oh interesting. I saw reviews of the pros being better for swimming than the previous version? I'd be down for saving money though. I would be using this purely for swimming since age has destroyed my knees.

          Downloading MP3s feel so nostalgic. Where is LimeWire at?

        My Shokz are just a headset, ie you can't download anything to them but link them to your phone, computer, etc.

        I use mine all day on Teams with no issues and they are great whilst walking in the city or cycling as you can still be aware of the surroundings so do not get hit by cars, trams, etc

    • Schrodinger on 24/11/2024 - 17:46

    If only somehow the band can be adjustable so its not dangling it will be percect. Like flush to each person head/hair.

    • ferguson on 24/11/2024 - 19:06
      +4

      That's what the "mini" version is for.

      They're essentially the same, just with a slightly shorter band.

      There is a measurement that you can do to tell if the mini will fit you.

    I dont know how why they call themself bone conducting when people sit next to you can hear (slight) sound. I mean if truly bone then it ill be 100pct no sound leaks.

    This is a tiny speaker headset.

  • stvbarg on 24/11/2024 - 17:42

    I currently have the Openrun pro, but have had the openrun & aeropex. While the pro are advertised as having the best sound quality (not sure as I rarely use them for music), I find they are much worse for use in noisy environments, traffic, etc. The other models were much better in this regard, with the aeropex being the best…

    Wondering if anyone else has this issue ?, as I am considering buying a pair of openrun's for this reason (or possibly trying another brand) ??…

    • mit on 25/11/2024 - 16:29

      I ended up getting the open runs a while back because all the reviews said they were louder at the same volume settings and they're also more waterproof. I don't get why they made the pros less waterproof for something that's designed to get sweaty.

  • Averell on 24/11/2024 - 18:33

      Hey Averell, thank you for asking. We do! See here

      However, to be transparent and in the spirit of OzBargain there are few sellers undercutting us on this model online so as much as we would love to service you, I would recommend comparing prices first as you may find it cheaper.

    I have tested a few Shokz, most of them sound OK for the purpose they serve, but Shokz OpenFit (not Air version). This one actually sounds VERY GOOD. It's very similar to the BOSE SoundSport. Since they sit ON your ears and not inside, you don't even realize you have earbuds on most of the time (Super comfy + lets you use 1 bud only, so its great for those listening to music/podcast whilst wanting to keep focus on their surrounding.

  • ferguson on 24/11/2024 - 19:09
    +4

    Before buying measure your head.

    For many adults you will find that the mini are actually the perfect fit (yes, even for adult males) which then means less dangling cord before the head.

    https://shokz.com.au/blogs/news/openrun-vs-openrun-mini-find…

    These are awesome for running though. Can't see myself ever moving back to traditional earphones for exercise.

    • CyberMurning on 24/11/2024 - 20:01

      Have you try using it for team or zoom meetings in the office? Will it filter the noise from other people talking around you and just passing your voice to the meeting?

      • ferguson on 24/11/2024 - 21:31

        No, I use mine solely for exercising.

        I use other headphones for work calls.

      • lawyerz on 24/11/2024 - 22:55

        I use these a lot for teams and work calls. They are not noise cancelling but not blocking your ears means I don't find myself shouting when I'm in the office taking a call.

        They're also in the 'okay' or 'good enough' mic quality, nothing amazing but not terrible either.

        • CyberMurning on 24/11/2024 - 23:25

          Okay. When the usb c model is on sale at around $100 ill get one to try.

  • yoquierotaco on 24/11/2024 - 19:32

    • lawyerz on 24/11/2024 - 22:56

      Can't go wrong. And the difference between openrun, pro, and pro 2 is smaller than most ppl suggests especially in real world outdoor use. I have all 3.

  • mana on 24/11/2024 - 19:39

    Whats the sound quality on the Openrun Pro vs the (not on sale) Openrun Pro 2?

    • Harry Balzac on 24/11/2024 - 20:19

      Don’t buy these for sound quality full stop.
      Any earbud (my pick would be the jabra elite active 8) with a hear-through setting will do a much better job at everything these are meant for.
      The only specific reason I would use the OpenRuns for would be if I was uncomfortable having buds in my ears.

    • lawyerz on 24/11/2024 - 22:58

      I've got both. Tbh, the biggest difference for me is that at max volume, you can feel the vibration from the openrun but much less so from the pro 2 because of the hybrid model which has traditional speakers alongside bone conduction. The sound leakage from the pro 2 is far higher due to the air conduction.

      The sound quality to me was negligible in real world outdoor use.

      I'm not a big fan of the proprietary charger either. exact reason why i just ignore olight products.

      For the shokz however, i found that these are pretty neat: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007268951713.html

      You can probably find em for cheaper depending on the style you want. I have heaps lying around (e.g. keychain, work, car, etc.) the neat thing about it is that it's magnetic so i can hang my keys on the fridge. i think magnetic charging in this scenario given how often i use the headphones has been fine day to day use.

  • apoy98 on 24/11/2024 - 21:48

    I have the open run pro 2.. they are very good for listening and talking. Not good in noisy environments (i work in a canteen with powerful extractor fans on all the time) as they easily get drowned out.

    • Alexxx on 24/11/2024 - 22:07

      How do they go with earplugs?
      I would use earplugs with my old openmove when mowing the lawn and they worked great. Sound quality was improved with the earplugs and I could lower the volume quite a bit as well.

      • Robot16 on 24/11/2024 - 22:08

        Great with earplugs. I pop the plugs in and mow. It works fine. Plugs out, no chance

      • lawyerz on 24/11/2024 - 22:59

        I mean at that point you might as well get a XM5, airpods earbuds or something?

        • Alexxx on 25/11/2024 - 00:06

          If it's something that I would normally use earplugs for then active noise cancelling isn't enough.

          I've got various noise cancelling buds and headphone which are great for commuting and sounds quality but don't cut it for things that are really noisy like using power tools or the lawn mower.

          • lawyerz on 25/11/2024 - 01:10

            @Alexxx: I haven't tried it but I'm surprised to hear earplugs + bone conduction earphones are better than ANC earbuds. Interesting!

    • DONMAI on 24/11/2024 - 22:29

  • munted on 25/11/2024 - 08:25

    Does anyone know the difference between the OpenRun and the OpenMove? I've searched online but all I can seem to find is the OpenRun are more comfortable? It's a big price difference if that's all and the cheaper OpenMove have USB-C charging vs a proprietary cable.

    • Alexxx on 25/11/2024 - 09:57
      +2

      The IP rating and battery life are better in the Openrun. You can also get them in the mini size which might be a better fit (see if you can find somewhere to try them).

  • Morven on 25/11/2024 - 10:03
    +1

    The best thing about these is they're one sturdy lightweight piece. No two earbuds to lose. Just one thing you barely notice is sitting around your ears and round the back of your head. The sound is adequate and the mic is fine for what they are meant for, and they're reliable. Mostly podcasts for me, but also phone calls and sometimes music. For music you're better off with something else, but these can still entertain you.

    I absolutely abuse mine (OpenRun Pro), wear them in the shower, take them shopping (yes I remembered to dress after the shower), wear them riding a bike, wear them gardening, whack them against the wall to knock moisture/sweat off if it covers the mic/sound holes, wear them all day at work, and they're always fine. Don't even bother with the case anymore unless travelling.

  • polarq on 25/11/2024 - 12:00

    what do folks think about the proprietary charging cable? has it been a hassle? I have all devices charging using USB-C atm and the only thing stopping me from getting these is the need to carry its own charging cable which if I lose will also be hard to replace if I am travelling.

    • Morven on 25/11/2024 - 13:10

      It's slightly annoying to have a proprietary charging cable, but it's just an old fashioned USB cable that I swap with another USB cable on a charger when I need to charge the OpenRuns. Which is not that often, because they really hold a charge.

    • AyjeofSpades on 25/11/2024 - 19:27

      The first pair I bought came with two chargers, but I think its just one now. I find the magnet nicer to use than USB, and arent bothered having a dedicated cable type.. I keep one plugged in at work and home, and the battery lasts a while either way + charges quickly.

      It would be annoying if I was travelling, but fine for my boring routined lifestyle.

    • Alexxx on 25/11/2024 - 22:12

      You can get aftermarket adapter's for USB C to the Shokz magnetic charger.

          For me when I'm on a busy road I can't really hear my podcasts, music may he different. Even in a loud gym hearing a podcast isn't the best for me.

          For a normal jog or walk on a normal road it's okay. I have a couple of main roads near me. When I'm there I can't hear well.

    Never had bone conduction headphones, how do you guys find them?

    I'd always figured they'd be nice for something just sitting there not jammed in your ear for some light tunes or podcasts while training but still able to talk to people etc.

      They shine where you are doing an activity (primarily running for me) and still chatting to others, I've found them quite good for the office too. For gym it'll be okay depending on how noisy your gym is and they're not good when out in areas with high traffic noise or construction.

        Yeah I have some nice inner ear ones that are good when I want to drown out noise.

        What you've described is basically what I was wanting them for, tempting!
