Got it for $100 recently. It is a great complementary headphone.
Not gonna replace APP or wireless ANC headphones.But it is useful outdoor running sessions or long phone calls. The mic is great and it is really comfortable.

Where did you get it from for $100? Can you share the link?
TIA
Bought a pair in July when they were $124 on Amazon after having tried a display unit earlier in the year. I have the same feedback as @HonestSnake7260. They are not going to replace all other headphones/earbuds for all use cases, but they're great for wearing on walks, while working at my desk, or while doing yard work — basically any scenario where extended wear might otherwise be uncomfortable or you want to retain a reasonably clear ambient sense of hearing. Because they do bone conduction, you can actually go the opposite route and wear earplugs while listening, which is what I've been doing when I mow. The key difference with the 2 is that they have some directional speakers working in tandem with the bone conduction, which is what rounds out the sound quality - there's a setting in the app if you want to toggle that off as one of the EQ modes.
I like them but they probably won't be useful or worth it to everyone. I will say, check the sizing - there's a regular and a mini size, the latter of which is only different in that it shortens the distance of the neck loop by like 9/10 of an inch. Doesn't seem like much but I actually ordered the mini and feel like that was the right call. I don't see that at quick glance for this link fwiw, but they may have them.
Be weary if you sweat a lot . I have had to warranty mine 3 times already bc of sound issues from sweat making it's way into them. The first iteration of the open runs were a much better product
I know they're "cheating" by including speakers too, but these are the first bone conduction earphones I've tried that actually sound acceptable. I use them all the time while running, walking my dog and any other time when I don't want to block outside sounds. They could stand to be a tad louder but otherwise, they're great.

This being back to back with the sweat guy is clutch.
My question was because of the sweat guy. Since I realized that these wouldn't work for swimming I'm asking the peeps if someone knows of one that would.
Shokz has an OpenSwim Pro model designed for swimming and with a built in 32gb MP3 capacity. It's more akin to the v1 of the OpenRun because it's bone conduction only, so you're going to get a tinnier sound quality, but obviously directional speakers aren't going to help much in that use case. Can't speak to them myself, but they're available https://www.amazon.com/SHOKZ-Open...B0CS3JBP67
I snagged a pair of OpenRun Pro 2s for this price back in Feb, and I continue to be very happy with them and highly recommend them. I primarily use them for walking my dog and riding my bike as well as when cooking/cleaning house (basically any time where situational awareness is important). I also own the original AfterShokz Airs and the Shokz OpenRun, and these Pro 2s definitely sound better.
I had to contact Shokz for Warranty issues on my OpenRuns twice and they were great both times. First time I noticed the microphone wasn't working well, they replaced it for free and let me keep the old ones (which still worked great as pure headphones). I then had an issue with the band on the replacement about a year later, and they also replaced that for free but did have me send in the old ones at that time. Overall a good company/product/experience.

You can ask a for a discount code from custom rep at shokz.com. There was a recent sale on their website, so I used that code to get additional discount.
