Review on SHOKZ OPENRUN Pro Wireless Headphones, Pink by Adam Nowak ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

For more than 2 years I have been using bone conduction headphones from the then Aftershokz. The previous model Trekz served faithfully, but suddenly died two months before the end of the warranty. I sent it to an authorized service, where the maximum that they could do was to issue an act of non-repairability. Because, as usual, in such cases they were replaced with new ones, or analogues, but now the delivery of new ones to the 2022 is not expected - this is according to the official Shokz service in the 2022. Sad forecast, but what to do! Therefore, I had to look east to one well-known marketplace, from where these headphones were ordered. One and a half months of waiting - and here it is happiness! Unlike Trekz, the new OpenRun Pro (by the way, now they are just Shokz, without After) have become lighter, more convenient, and completely invisible on the head. Smaller, but louder. And, lo and behold, bass appeared, you can listen to music relatively well! They support 4 languages ​​out of the box (from China they come in Chinese, but with simple button presses they start speaking English). When the sound is loud, there is no tickling sensation inherent in the previous model, so in loud environments you can safely crank the volume to the maximum. The audibility of me in the microphone is not bad, but according to the reviews of people with whom I spoke on the phone in the new headset, the quality is about the same as with Trekz, maybe better, but still inferior to the apple headphones that I used while waiting for new headphones. In the bottom line, I'm satisfied with the headphones, and I'm not going to refuse them even despite the indicated disadvantages. But I would not recommend buying at the prices that are in the 2022, it is better to endure a month and a half, and get them for the price at which they are sold all over the world, and not to feed presumptuous domestic outbids.

Pros
  • Mega-comfortable fit, almost invisible on the head, light, for active pastime. You can run, jump, do anything, I can’t imagine what it takes to knock them off their heads! Can be connected to two devices (I use it simultaneously with a laptop and a phone). The sound became deeper, bass appeared, you can even listen to music. Almost completely disappeared unpleasant itching with a loud sound. A convenient application for settings (you can do without it, but it’s somehow more convenient to reconfigure the devices to which the headphones are connected in the interface). The battery holds well for a very long time, I charge it every 3-4 days, while every day I listen to podcasts at an average volume for at least 2-3 hours or I talk on the phone. And they charge pretty quickly. At the same time, charging is now magnetic, without a drop-down rubber plug, which was very infuriating on Trekz. The set includes a hard case, very convenient, you can not be afraid to break the headphones during transportation, even in a tightly stuffed suitcase.
Cons
  • The complete absence of this model in 2022, on all marketplaces they are advertised at some crazy prices, but at the same time marked "out of stock". That's just ANYWHERE. AT ALL. As a result, there is a formal guarantee, but in reality - well, you understand. The Shokz application in the PlayStore writes that it is not available in my region (probably, we are talking about the 2022), fortunately, it was installed without problems from the Samsung application store. The microphone seems to be better than in previous versions, but still at the level of entry-level headsets. And unlike Trekz, a lower level of protection IP55 is indicated (for Trekz and for the non-Pro version IP67), it’s hard to understand what exactly this is expressed, since I didn’t swim in the pool either, but while running, taking into account sweat worked and those, and those - without problems.

The sound is peculiar. At full volume, the vibration is quite noticeable.
