After determining that I must have a head that appears huge, but is actually way too small for my body, I snagged a pair of minis, cried, and then drank coffee. You know, like a typical work morning.

FYI this model uses a proprietary magnetic charger.
If you're giving these a shot without trying them stick with the standard version.

I did a test of these and the pro version, they absolutely sound like a $30 headphone. I returned both pairs.
I ended up buying a $20 xaiomi version via aliexpress, they aren't as comfortable but there is no difference in sound quality.
If you value the piece of mind/warranty support maybe it's worth the $70 premium, but for me it was not.

I primarily use the OpenRun for video calls all day for work, and frankly, I love them. The only downside when using with macOS 12.x or higher is that you need to disable any auto-gain features as macOS will mute the mic input due to the aggressive auto-gain input. So if you're using this with discord, zoom, teams, or google meet, you'll be required to turn off auto-gain otherwise you're going to mute randomly during meetings. If using for Google Meet, you'll want to use this "Disable Automatic Gain Control" [google.com] extension for Chrome.
If using the OpenRun with iOS, Android, or Windows 10, I haven't had any muting issues with the headset, it is a macOS specific problem above 11.x.
Anyway, hope that helps!
