OpenRun Pro

was going well until the left ear failed without any incident to speak of

just recently the left side has failed.

I love them so far!

This is my second pair of Shokz, sort of. I had a pair of Aftershokz Aeropex the were replaced twice under warranty, so this is really my forth pair. My Aeropex developed a rattle on one side and Shokz offered me a nice coupon since I was out of warranty so I upgraded to these. I like bone conduction headphones for certain activities and Shokz has more or less cornered the market. Hopefully the issues that I had with my Aeropex have been resolved and these will last a long time.

Not horrible, but not great either

I like the concept of these but I think the execution could use improvements. I feel like these are not resting on my ears where they should be, so I have to have the volume maxed out to get good sound quality in a midly noisy environment at my work (and even then I can'thear some of my music properly). The volume up/down buttons are hard to use due to their size and placement (one should be on the side like the universal button on the left). Have a hard time telling powering on/off is working because I can barely hear the voice feedback when I do so. I didn't notice these issues right away so even if I did the 14 day trial that wouldn't have made a difference in realizing that they don't fit me correctly. It was only when I was adjusting them one time that I noticed I could hear the sound better, but it's not where they naturally rest on my head. Also, I have a job that requires wearing a hairnet and safety glasses so they may be causing minor interference as well.
