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?

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 👀

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'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!
