I have tried a few headphones for sports. I've had the best experience with these. What I have never tried, head down and then also wiggling my head... but I suspect they will still hold. Running, jumping, head movements - no problem at all.
If you wear glasses, the earpiece of the glasses and the earpiece of the headphones may overlap. Some users report that they wear the headphones over or under their glasses, depending on which is more comfortable. It also depends on the shape of the head and the glasses as to how well they fit together. Experiment with the order in which you put them on to find the best fit.
You can easily listen to Spotify via the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 without having to download the songs and play them as files. The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 are equipped with Bluetooth 5.1, which enables a stable and wireless connection to your device. You can easily stream music from streaming services such as Spotify as long as your device and headphones are within range of the Bluetooth signal.
The headphones have no noise cancellation, only the microphones, so that the audio quality is clearer during phone calls.
The different versions are different sizes, there is a standard and a mini version of this item.
This model doesn't have active noise reduction, but it does have 2 speakers that direct some of the sound into your ears, which can give the impression of reducing ambient noise. However, this is not the model to choose if you want to be isolated from the surrounding environment.
With the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 headphones, the metal containing nickel is not directly on the skin. The Ni-Ti (nickel-titanium) alloy wire used for the memory wire in the ear hooks is integrated into the design and not in direct contact with the skin. The ear hooks and frame are covered with a soft silicone coating to ensure comfort and hygiene.
The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 can connect to two Bluetooth devices at the same time, thanks to its MultiPoint Pairing feature. This allows you to switch back and forth between the two devices without re-pairing.
To activate this, follow these steps:
- Switch off the headphones and press and hold the Volume+ button until the LED indicator flashes red and blue alternately and Audrey says "pairing".
- Connect the first device via the Bluetooth settings.
- Repeat the process for the second device.
- After both devices are successfully paired, switch the headphones off and on again to activate the MultiPoint pairing function.
There is the standard size and the mini. I would have said I don't have such a small head. If I now do the measurement to determine whether standard or mini according to the Shokz instructions (behind ear to the other behind ear > 23.5 cm = standard), however, I pretty clearly have to take the mini. Now I'm confused, because
1: Obviously many more standard than mini are sold
2: I would clearly need a mini, even though the head is not that small.
How do you see it, what is your experience with the size?
The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 headphones can generally be connected to Garmin watches, but there are a few points to consider to ensure an interference-free Bluetooth connection.
## Compatibility
- The OpenRun Pro 2 headphones support Bluetooth 5.1, which offers good compatibility with most modern devices, including Garmin watches.
## Pairing process
- To pair the headphones with a Garmin watch, pairing mode must be activated by pressing and holding the Volume+ button for 5-7 seconds until the LED light flashes red and blue. The Bluetooth settings of the Garmin watch must then be opened and the headphones selected.
## Interference-free connection
- Connection problems may occur with some devices, including some Garmin models. This may be caused by the specific Bluetooth version of the device or by interference with other Bluetooth devices in the vicinity. It is advisable to switch off other Bluetooth devices in the vicinity and perform the pairing process again to ensure a stable connection.
## Multipoint pairing
- The OpenRun Pro 2 support multipoint pairing, which makes it possible to be connected to two devices at the same time. However, this can affect the stability of the connection if both devices are within range.
In general, the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 should connect to a Garmin watch without any problems, but it is important to follow the pairing instructions carefully and minimise any interference.
The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 headphones are ergonomically and comfortably designed to provide a secure and comfortable fit, even under different helmets or headgear.
- The weight-optimised design with ergonomic ear hooks and a unibody frame, combined with a Ni-Ti alloy memory wire, ensures a secure and comfortable fit that minimises the risk of pressure points or discomfort.
- In addition, the clamping force has been reduced by 16% compared to the previous model, which contributes to an even more comfortable wearing experience.
The OpenRun Pro 2 headphones should therefore be easy to wear under a ski helmet without any discomfort or pain.
