edit: that was for the original post which only had them on the shokz site. It showed the sale price on the product sale page, but the cart price was MSRP.
Ordered from Amazon instead with the updated links.

Anyway, I found this comparison review of the Shokz OpenMove and OpenRun. It seem legit, not some AI aggregated click article. There's a table with a quick comparison.

As a Costco member I will probably grab the OpenRun for the return policy, better build, slightly better battery and quick charge feature. I'm not an audiophile so I'm not sure I can tell the difference in sound quality. I wonder where the improves sound quality comes from in bone conduction sound? Like I understand better components or open designs in conventional headphones/buds. Is it primarily better conductive materials?
I will say at home I prefer my Koss on ear headphones like the Porta Pro to any in ear buds (AirPods included).
How do these work with sunglasses?
Very comfortable once you get used to them, takes about 30 days but now I wear them and don't even realize.
Shokz have been very durable, waterproof, great bt connection, fit amazing.
Great with phone calls, can hear clearly and so can the person on the other end. Works better then my stock car BT system.
Great at being able to hear sounds around you, if you're taking care of kids or out on a jog, you will be able to hear kids talking and traffic near by, this is the reason I use and love shokz.
The sound quality is best in the openrun series, there is subtle differences between 1st gen and 2nd gen but imo it isn't worth much, get whatever is on sale. I haven't tried the 3rd gen (pro 2) but I read someplace that the sound quality is worse?
My iPods and Bose in ear phones sound way better but you can't hear around yourself, it's a trade off.
When conversing or watching TV irl, you do lose a bit of sound because the shokz land right in front of your ears, I simply remove them from my head at that point.
Sam's club had openruns for $55 last month in store, ymmv
I will say that I wore them for a couple hours, and afterwards, I had a weird sensation for a while.
Almost like I could still feel a tickling vibration where the sound comes out of.
That's the only time I wore them for such a long time
Also bought the OpenFit Pro over a year ago and they're still going strong. Also have a lot of friends that own their products in between with no issues. Sorry about your issues, but I don't think that's a common experience.
