Fantastic Product
Love the freedom of being able to hear the birds and bees in the garden while listening to my stories. Much better than buds which fall out ears when hot and sweaty and much better than headphone type as they fall down when weeding. Wish I had these years ago they are absolutely fantastic. I use them everywhere in the house, outside, in the car and while shopping. Long battery life as well.

Changed my runs!
I always used to run sans earphones as I like to be fully aware of my surroundings. These are the best of both worlds as they sit outside your ears so external noises can still be heard clearly. Obviously this means that if you’re running in a high noise area (ie a busy road) your audio will be partially drowned out but that’s not a design flaw, it’s just how token ear headphones work. Sound quality is never going to be as good as in-ear design, but is leagues above other options I tried. They stay securely in place during my runs and battery life is decent. They are pricey though, so it could be worth looking at the non Pro version if these are outside of your budget.

Awesome.
I love how I can hear my music, podcasts, sport on the apps, but still be aware of surroundings and traffic.

good quality but expensive
This has no bone conduction, the sound quality is fine. But it is expensive for what you get. There are many other lesser known brands with the same sound quality, or get a cheaper Shokz model (with bone conduction but lesser sound quality).

Not good as old Shokz
Headphones are fine but you need to re-connect them all the time. It does not recognize the phone/s and connect them as soon as you turn the headphones on. This feature was there with the old Shokz. Also, you cant connect 2 x phones at the same time like the which was a feature of the old Shokz

At a glance
The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 is an open-ear wireless sports listening option built for runners, cyclists and outdoor athletes who want music and call clarity without blocking ambient sound. Key strengths are its comfortable 29 g fit, 12-hour battery life and quick charging. The main limitation is that its open-ear design provides much less noise isolation than in-ear earbuds for flights, trains or quiet office focus.

Things to consider
Because the open-ear design keeps you aware of your surroundings, it does not block external noise like sealed in-ear earbuds, so it is less suited to noisy public transport or users wanting strong passive isolation.
Commuter suitability score
7/10 - Strong for walking and situational awareness, but open-ear listening is less ideal in loud buses or trains.
Workout fit
Secure, lightweight open-ear sports fit that suits running, cycling and sweaty training sessions.
Noise isolation effectiveness
3/10 - Open-ear design intentionally allows outside sound in rather than sealing it out.
All-day comfort rating
9/10 - The 29 g build and around-ear frame make it easy to wear for long sessions, including with glasses.
Multi-device switching ease
6/10 - Bluetooth 5.3 pairing is quick and simple, but no specific multi-device switching feature is confirmed in the provided specs.
Warranty
2 year manufacturer's warranty
Key benefits
- Open-ear design: Keeps your ear canal clear so you can stay more aware of traffic, voices and surroundings during outdoor training.
- 12-hour battery life: Delivers up to 12 hours of playback on a single charge for long training sessions and day-long use.
- Quick charge: A 5-minute top-up provides up to 2.5 hours of playback when you need a fast boost before heading out.
- Lightweight 29 g build: Feels light around the ears for more comfortable wear during longer workouts.
- Bluetooth 5.3: Supports fast, stable wireless pairing with compatible phones and watches.
- IP55 water resistance: Handles sweat and light rain well for training in changing weather.
- Dual noise-cancelling microphones: Helps your voice come through more clearly on calls during active use.
- Secure sport fit: Wraparound design stays in place well and works comfortably with glasses, hats and most bike helmets.
Q: Can these headphones pair directly with a running watch?
A: Yes. OpenRun Pro 2 can pair with a phone or watch over Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless listening on training sessions. Your watch still needs Bluetooth audio support and the right playback features, so compatibility depends on the watch model.
Q: Is IP55 enough for rain, sweat and outdoor workouts?
A: Yes. The IP55 rating is suited to sweat, splashes and light rain during training in changing weather. It is not a swimming headset, and it should not be treated as suitable for submersion or shower use.
Q: How long does OpenRun Pro 2 take to fully charge?
A: OpenRun Pro 2 takes 1 hour for a full charge. If you are heading out quickly, a 5-minute top-up gives 2.5 hours of playback, which is useful for a run or gym session rather than a full day away.
Q: Does this model support switching between two devices easily?
A: Bluetooth 5.3 pairing is straightforward, but a dedicated multi-device switching feature is not listed for OpenRun Pro 2. It is best treated as a simple Bluetooth headset rather than a model bought specifically for fast device hopping.
Q: Are the microphones good enough for calls while running outside?
A: Yes. OpenRun Pro 2 uses dual noise-cancelling microphones with wind-resistant call support, which helps voice pickup outdoors. The open-ear design still leaves surrounding noise audible to you, so it is less private than sealed earbuds.
