Hello everyone!
Firstly, Happy New Year 2023 in advance.
I'm looking at these bone-conduction open-ear endurance headphones https://shokz.com/products/openrun
Based on the water resistance level, seems openrun is a better rating than openrun pro.
My main purpose to use for my morning run seems all this time, all my earbuds can last around 6 months only, after that got a problem with the charging contact point, likely because of the sweat.
or perhaps you have a better suggestion for runners?
Thank you very much.

This category of the forum seems pretty dead as nobody has much to share bout sports earphones, let allow an open ear type. You really have to trial and error to find something that suits you

Open ear type earphone has very limited options currently.
The other more popular one will be Oladance Open Ear, but i cant seem to sample this in store.

Interesting info on Oladance, not sure where can get in SG, not sure if Challenger has it or not, but for sure you can tryout shokz openrun at Challerger Bugis.

Ha I went challenger to try oladance they sell the earbud but no sample so I bought openrun instead. I find the pro version vibrates stronger and cause me headaches therefore I choose the non-pro. There is a mini version. Best is to try out in store before buying for audio stuffs. Everyone has a different preference. :)

I am using the OpenRun Pro, i have to admit that you might feel the vibration but when i start running or doing activities with it, you wont feel as much.

Give it a try. If i am not wrong, the OpenRun will have lesser vibration.

seems like topic is dead but im trying to revive:geek:. not using open run but just ordered creative outlier free pro. think pricing quite decent with discount. have tried before shokz sample at challenger and feels pretty ok. generally im planning more for outdoor use and need to hear the environment which in ear headphones block.

How much is creative, how the sound quality?
well, after using my open run for around 8 months, I just loved it, even during zoom meeting it's very loud and clear.

Aren't you feeling the weird discomfort of the vibrations on the face during the zoom meetings? While running I still think its ok.
