[...] I have two pairs of Shokz that I use for work (OpenComm) and play (OpenRun). I thought they would be a gimmick, but 3 years later, I love them and use them daily. Fun hack: when I travel I prefer my over-ear noise cancelling Ankers, but they're bulky. So, for traveling light, I use Shockz and then silicone ear plugs to block out external sound on e.g. [...]
Shokz OpenRun. [...] I've had three pairs fail in three years. Shokz customer service is great, but waiting for a new pair is a pain in the butt. [...]
Best solution for sleep I think is a combination of earplugs and Shokz openrun bone conduction headphones. [...] I turn on the iOS background sounds dark noise and put on an audiobook to distract from my mind not turning off. [...]
I fully agree with this. Another example: Shokz had to switch from their magnetic connector to USB-C for the OpenRun bone conduction headphones. I think it makes no sense given the small size of their device and it makes it less durable (there is a small cap to protect the USB-C from water, which is easily broken) and probably one reason they don't market it as IP68 anymore.
I have their OpenRun headset, and for voice the quality is great; music a little iffy but acceptable when considering not getting hit by a car. Battery is awesome, and I'm assuming thats the same for the Opencomm
I've reviewed old meeting recordings, when my notes were not clear/complete, and after getting over what I sound like generally (an issue on any recording device!) I sound clearer than some people who are using wired headsets. I'm actually using a bone-conduction headpiece (Shokz OpenRun, a friend has some from a different manufacturer and he sounds fine too when using them for a phone call) so it might be even more surprising that I sound reasonable. If someone does have a problem with how I sound then they can buy me a decent wired headset, or just stop inviting me to remote meetings that I don't want to be in anyway :)
I have a pair of Shokz OpenRun and they’re great! I use them while running or any time I’ll be walking around the city at night. The only downside is I’ve noticed they’re less effective when I’m riding public transit, when my bones are doing a lot of vibrating.
$100 for my model (shokz openrun) make sure to get the model that fits you well (regular or mini), I got a regular one since I thought I had a big head but they're a bit too big and stick out on the back not a dealbreaker but slightly annoying
[...] Does macOS not have a setting where the default audio out and in device can be selected and configured independently of the actual physical device connected? On Windows and LinuxMint it's a change in the settings app, and it persists between Bluetooth device reconnects. Windows abstracts the audio in and out away from the actual device, and they show up as two separate devices on my machine. When I re-pair my headphones I need to change the setting again, but that rarely happens. [...] I have one bluetooth headset that does not play nice with MS Teams (Shox OpenRun), but I don't use it for calls any more.
