Shokz OpenRun review

OpenRun has been in the Shokz lineup since 2019 under this name and an earlier one, Aeropex, and it is still sold at $129.95. It uses Shokz's 8th generation PremiumPitch 2.0+ bone conduction, which the company says vibrates and leaks less than the 7th generation in OpenMove. Battery life is 8 hours, a full charge takes 1.5 hours, and 10 minutes of quick charge gives 1.5 hours of listening. The IP67 rating covers dust, sweat and rain, though Shokz says it is not for swimming. It weighs 26.4 g and comes in Standard and Mini sizes, and Shokz now sells versions with either magnetic or USB-C charging. The catch is that OpenRun Air 2 costs the same, runs 2 hours longer, and adds app support and multipoint pairing, which OpenRun lacks according to Shokz's comparison chart. OpenRun still makes sense if you find it discounted or prefer a model with years of use behind it.
