note that the bone conduction on the 2's are disabled by default and you have to turn them to classic mode.
The people in the referenced reddit thread say they can't hear them with their fingers in their ears. I find this very strange, as I can. Also, sometimes I wear mine with earplugs when I am in a noisy environment, and I can hear them fine.

Why do you say that? Can you elaborate on what we're all missing?
I was a fan of how they effectively allowed me to keep working with my hands while taking phone calls. (I transport and install for a living.) I was not a fan of the stepped volume and how even max volume was insufficient for a typical NYC street during the day. Gradually the listening sound quality got grainier and grainier as the speakers broke in and wore out. The speech quality to the other person was always pretty mid.
Would have given the gen 1's a 7/10 for quality, performance, durability, but I've also tried half a dozen competing products, and none were as good. Not ready to spend on these again. I'm done with multitasking at that level. It burns me out and most people can wait until they have my full attention.
Music quality was not good enough for me to enjoy. I used to be an audio engineer so I'm a little snobby there and can also manage daily activities in silence.
I have motion sickness and the v1 messed with my vestibular system. This is supposed to be better for that as well, but I ended up going with the Nothing Ear (open ear), which is truly excellent but a different stroke from bone conduction.

That said, if you want the bone conduction more than sound fidelity, you can enable it on the Pro 2, but you might as well save the extra $50 and buy the OpenRun from Costco for $80
