Each part is rated on one scale for every earbud and headphone, from lab test measurements where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports. It rates the product itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Clear sound with fair bass for bone conduction
  • Calls on office, walk and bike rides drew no complaints
  • Light, little ear fatigue; hears traffic
  • Lasted a full work day with charge left
  • Clear on land and not muffled underwater
  • Battery and storage are generous
  • Simple controls

Cons

  • Streaming fans lose Bluetooth in the pool; songs must be copied on
  • No USB-C for charging or transfers
  • Uses older transducers than the latest OpenRun Pro
  • Hook pressed under the swim cap and made ears sore on long swims
  • Shokz advises only about 2 h of swim use at a time
  • Expensive
  • Very little bass
  • TechRadarAug 2024

    A thorough upgrade over the old OpenSwim: fully waterproof, comfortable, long-lasting and able to play from its own storage or Bluetooth.

  • Triathlon magazine pick: sound stays clear in and out of the water, with roomy storage and good battery, at a high price.

  • Well suited to swimming, with good stability and leak control, but less versatile than the OpenRun Pro 2 on land.

  • Indian review that calls it the go-to choice for swimmers; very positive, lists no downsides.
