Hi, compared to the Openrun Pro which one has a better sound quality?

[@hollyfoster3575]

I have both and, while they're both very good, Shokz wins.

[@ronyci]

did you really just review swimming headphones without going swimming?

[@aguilarisaza]

Are there conduction headphones with Bluetooth AND cable Audio connection? For example for a flight...?

[@AlexKidman]

Not that I've come across -- not an impossible concept, I guess, but I've not seen it attempted.

[@aguilarisaza]

@@AlexKidman Thanks for ur answer and your review :)

[@danielbrock9819]

Could at least take a bath with them mate

[@AlexKidman]

@@danielbrock9819 Only if I rated the video R18+. But to clarify, I have showered with them. They still work.

Great review

[@soapyvanshoey3179]

So whats the point of buying these swim pro headphones and then find out you cannot use them for swimming because there not 100% waterproof

[@AlexKidman]

The point here is that basically nothing is -- be very wary of anything that claims to be "waterproof", because water breaks down just about everything given enough time.I've got a more indepth writeup on how people mistake "water resistance" with "waterproof" that you can read here: alexreviewstech.com/why-your-waterproof-phone-isnt-actually-waterproof-the-way-you-think-it-is/

[@joelaw114]

How about a quick test on wearing it in a shower, that way you can tell us how the sound is while water splashing on you with music or podcast playing. Look forward to it, thanks

[@AlexKidman]

I will get onto that -- though hot shower water is going to be even worse for ongoing water resistance than room temperature water. Also, I won't be filming that -- some things cannot be unseen...

@@AlexKidman ah, sorry I forgot about the winter part, as I’m in Hong Kong at the moment and been taking cold showers lately. 😁 Do what you can, after seeing your video I’m going to get a pair anyway👍🏻 I sweat a lot, so this type of head phone will be good for me in Asian weather, many thanks on your great review, cheers.

Terrible review, You talk and talk and I got nothing good from it.

[@AlexKidman]

Anything specific you would have liked to see? I’m happy to take constructive criticism on board and tried to cover the features and how I found them.
