Have these. Love them. They're great. Feel free to ask anything. Just know even the Pro 2's which are the best they haven't won't be anything in-ear (even normal airpods) in audio quality. I wear these though for comfort and to hear my surroundings better. Battery lasts basically all day for me.

I have the open move. Do you find this model to be more "bone conductive" ? The open moves are. , imo , just sweat proof speakers in proximity to one's ears. If turned up they can be noticeably heard ... this isn't a problem in the gym.. yet I find using them in less noisy rooms they can probably outcast. I fully enjoy my shokz over my AirPods. And think they are great... I just want more seamless audio transition and less audio transference so I'm not sure whether or not to upgrade to a better model

Yup - the 2's are speakers by default so the audio is a tad better. You can enable the bone conduction but you have to do so in the app.

Doesn't say/can't choose mini vs standard?

Edit - looks like they have a separate listing for the mini with mini in the title so these are only standard which is why they ha e so many returns because the standard is too dang big

Actually this is not entirely true. The standard mode on the OpenRun Pro 2 is a combination of bone conduction for high and mid tones and speakers for the bass. You can switch them to classic mode, wich is bone conduction only but that works only for listening audio. If you are on a call (the mic is on), both the bone conduction and the speakers are active. The best benefit of the 2's is the sound quality and they don't tickle your cheekbones. They leak more sound than the OpenRun Pro but on classic mode they ara the same. I own both models and I speak from experience. You don't need the app to enable the classic mode. You can cycle through the EQ modes by holding both + and - simultaneously.

You can plug your ears and you can hear what comes through the bone conduction 😉

Are these better for work than the open run 2+ as they are separate from each ear than these or are these hands down better?

open fit 2+ I assume you mean? I've honestly not used them. One of my favorite "features" of these is that when I'm not using them I can just wrap them around my neck instead of placing them in my pocket. The Fit 2+ I believe are speaker based so will probably sound better audio quality wise.

While I love these things, definitely make sure you have the warranty card/register these. Why? The power / volume button can fail before the typical 2 year warranty. I had one go bad just shy of a year, granted I use these 5 days a week for work calls/music so higher than typical usage. Sadly these open box only have one year warranty vs. two year but BestBuy is a authorized dealer and Shokz will honor the 1 year limited warranty.

For $85 you're probably safe if you also use a credit card with an extended warranty assuming they honor open-box warranty and double it up to a year, which many paid for credit cards offer.

I had the same issue, they honored it and sent me replacements when I had their Aeropex ones. I used it religiously daily for almost 2 years. The wrap around broke and the rubber sleeve slipped off the wrap around band. Even with that the headphoens still worked! These are very reliable headphones for outdoors. I have 4 of them and continue to buy these as they are solid performers. I haven't tried other brands but I can say these are quite comfortable (not for everyone from what I hear) but many have had a great experience with these.

Shokz warranty is pretty painless but it does take time. That's why I usually have two, knowing one will eventually break after daily use lol. That said, I've had the original model, Air, Aeropex, OpenRun Pro, and the OpenRun Pro 2 have the best sound quality, but the base OpenRun is better if you sweat a lot or want bone conduction only. The OpenRun Pro 2 doesn't use bone conduction by default and why it sounds so much better.

That said, I've given these to others and they now swear by these as they're easy to wear all day and typically last 8 hours before needing to be recharged.
