Great review. Unfortunately I’m having considerable charging issues! On many occasions, they’ve been in case charging (even plugged into power) and they’re dead flat. I’m on my 3rd pair under warranty and Shokz are brilliant as a company in that regard but today still an issue. A 3rd pair would suggest some sort or ‘user’ error but charging shouldn’t be that hard 🤦🏼‍♂️… it appears really need to focus on making sure there is good contact in the case! Anyone else having issues?

[@RunSDJ]

Hi Scott, appreciate your postive comment in relation to my review and sorry you are having issues with your Shokz. Since making the review I have had perhaps had 1 issue where both the charge case and the battery were out of battery despite me being almost certain I had recently charged them, but I put this down to user error, perhaps having not turned the plug on or something, but perhaps it might have been an issue like the one you mention. It's only happened to me once though, so I didn't see it as a broader issue. Hope you get the issue resolved!

Drawback is for those that have hearing issues, bone conducting headphones win. Unsure how the inner side can fit with so many different sizes and shapes of the tragus lobe. And really wondering with the increased bass over the ear if this will cause further hearing degradation. For the most part you covered everything minus how the earphone fits over the tragus. Glad these are not in-the-ear or ear-buds, yet still am concerned about hearing the surrounding as I ride a recumbent trike in various environments and wear the OpenRun & OpenRun Pro in different scenarios.

If the OpenRun range work for you then keep with them! I was only looking at something different because my battery on mine was at the point where it wouldn’t last for a long run. I can only speak from my experience but the OpenFit fit very comfortably for my ear shape. I don’t get on with things like AirPods because I have quite big ears and they just fall out. In terms of your point about increased bass, you have full control of the EQ in the app so you can get the balance of it to suit yourself. I’m still aware of my surroundings wearing them, but I’d say when you push the volume to the limit then they aren’t as good for that as the OpenRun series.
