Last Sunday I ran a 10 k race with the Shocks Openrun Pro. The earphones worked fine during the race and afterwards too.

However, When I tried charging those it keeps making a beep sound and vibrates. I dried those charging ports and points keeping it next to a fan. Also rubbed those with dry cloth.

I only had it for a 2 months so beyond the return period at Bestbuy but raised a claim with Shockz.

It is highly disappointing and now I don't have a backup. Is there anyone with similar experience? How did you get yours' to work?

Hoping to get some help here. Should/can I use the openrun’s for lap swimming? Says not intended but says IP67 waterproof.

Any have OpenSwim’s and use for running? I’m doing a lot of cross training so want to get the best option but Openrun’s are a lot cheaper.

I just won a pair of open run mini at a 5K and I much prefer running with AirPods rather than bone conducting. I know the open run mini says waterproof but is it capable of being suitable for swimming? I’m also aware that Bluetooth doesn’t work underwater too well but wanted to try if it was possible. Will I just break them if I try? I know Shokz sells an openswim but I can’t exchange this one.

If anyone has an open swim they want to trade for brand new open runs that would be cool too 👀

I have been a user of Shokz (Aftershokz) headphones since 2016. The OpenRun Pros were the best headphones I have ever used for running and I felt that each iteration of their headphones since their conception were an improvement to their predecessors. I have been having issues with the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2s however. I run every day in all of the elements -- I also sweat a lot. These headphones only last me a month or so before sweat causes the speakers to start sounding fuzzy or busted. It seems to always be the right side that fails. I am about to send my pair in for the 3rd warranty claim this year alone. I wish I would have never gotten rid of my OpenRun Pro headphones and really wish they would just replace these with the open run pros at this point.

I have been combing the internet trying to find where someone else has had this issue but all reviews seem to be positive. Surely I cannot be the only one having this issue. Its beyond frustrating to say the least and this might be what causes me to break my brand loyalty.

Has anyone else experienced this issue with the OpenRun Pro 2s?

I was thinking about getting myself a pair of openrun pro 2s now that they're on sale but I'm pretty confused. Why is the IP-rating of the basic openrun model better (IP67) than the pro model (IP55)? The pros are about 50€ more expensive (and have the better sound from what I've heard), so why are they worse in that regard?

And why are headphones that people like to use while running outside not fitted with a rating that would allow running in the rain?

Or do I misunderstand the rating and IP55 is perfectly fine for sudden surprise-downpours? If anybody has any experience with the openrun pro 2s, kindly let me know!

Edit: I asked customer support. Basically sweat and light rain are fine despite the worse rating, but rain showers not so much. It's good to know some of you have made the experience that they can endure a bit more though.

I'm thinking about buying shokz OpenRun Pro or OpenSwim Pro. The main difference I see is OpenRun Pro is "gen 9" bone conduction tech with ip55. OpenSwim Pro is "gen 8" bone conduction tech with ip68 (waterproof for swimming). Is the sound quality that different? How are they during the day for runs etc? I don't own bone conduction headphones but tried a friends openmove version ("gen 7"). Would appreciate any advice between these two versions, specifically on sound quality differences between the two "generations". Thanks!

My personal preferences: I prefer higher quality sound, but understand limitations of bone conduction. These will be used to keep my ears free on runs and in my office and on walks with my dog, while also on swims if possible. I was a swimmer for a decade and am debating on getting into again, but am wishy washy on that. For price, I just want to purchase the headphones that fit my needs. That are similar price (even when OpenRun Pro go on sale) so I mainly want something functional for a long time. If OpenRun Pro are significantly better in sound quality, that will be my preference. Thanks for your advice!
