Wondering if anyone has an old pair of Shokz OpenRun headphones lying around that they aren't using? I'm looking to buy the older model that is rated at IP67, which I think is the non-Pro model: https://shokz.com/products/openrun

 

I don't really mind what condition they're in or what colour they are, as long as the battery is still decent and they have no damage that might affect the waterproofness. I want to wear these while out paddling on a kayak.

 

PM me to discuss.

Have you worn them or listened to them before? The sound quality is quite different as you would get from other normal headphones.

I got offered a pair by a workmate, tried them and def not my thing. Were fine for voice etc but music was lacking to me.

I listened to them in PBTech. I know what you mean - I wouldn't buy these specifically for listening to music, but I'll mostly be listening to podcasts and audiobooks anyway. Should be perfect for that.

Yeah they are great. I have them on all day (old model Aeropex) and forget I got them on.

 

Currently working with power tools. Put in foam earplugs, and I can still hear the podcast

 

Battery standby life is also good with Shokz ... very little drain.
