RE: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone
I'm glad you're enjoying both of your Shokz headsets. I've had the OpenComm headset for quite a while, but I haven't used them in a very long time because they don't seem to fit correctly. I feel like every time I move a muscle I have to adjust them so that they don't fall off. The OpenFit do sound interesting though. It's cool that you can use them with the iPhone and the Apple Watch simultaneously. - Original Message - From: "M. Taylor" Date: Wednesday, February 07, 2024 09:54 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone Hello Everyone, A couple of days ago, I purchased a pair of the Open Run Pro bone conducting Bluetooth headsets for use with my iPhone. I decided to buy a pair because I have a couple of friends who are using the Open Run models and when talking to them, I cannot tell that they are using a Bluetooth headset, the microphone quality is that good. I think they are absolutely amazing. What I did not discover until after purchasing is that, using the Shock app for iOS, one can change the voice profile. Kind of an E.Q. feature that I absolutely love. The cost of this model is approximately 180 USD. In fact, I was so impressed with the Open Run Pro model that, just 2 days later, I purchased the Open Fit model. With the Open Fit, you do not only have 4 preset sound profiles, from which to choose, but you also have a full equalizer feature. The approximate cost of the Open Fit model is 130 USD. There are several differences between the Open Run Pro and the Open Fit model. 1. The Open Run Pro is bone conduction. 2. The Open Fit, while not sitting in the ear, uses sound waves to conduct the sound. 3. Like Air Pods, the Open Fit can be worn on one ear at a time or on both ears. 4. Unlike Air Pods, both the Open Run Pro and the Open Fit can switch between Apple Watch and iPhone seamlessly as both models can connect to, two, devices, simultaneously. You can purchase these models from Amazon or from Shock.com or, like me, just go into your local Best Buy and grab a pair.

Hello Donna, Yes, the Open Fit have a tiny hook that is placed behind the ear, keeping them firmly in place. Just so you know, one can purchase such a hook for Air Pods, from a third-party vendor on Amazon. I used to have a set but gave them to a friend as she needed them more than I.

Gee, that’s too bad. That sounds very handy. Recently when I was on an airplane, the girl in the seat across from me actually lost one of her AirPods when it fell out of her ear.

RE: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone
Hello Mary, The documentation is technically VoiceOver accessible but not conveniently so. I gave up on the official documentation and, instead, performed several Google searches and watched quite a few of YouTube videos and read quite a lot of tech reviews and comparison of both products. To be honest, I purchased the Open Run Pro, first, then went home, paired them, fell in love with them, and decided to learn all that I could. While in the store, I saw the Open Fit and went back to the store. Best Buy has a Shock Bluetooth demonstration table so a customer can try each model and test them out, before purchasing. I realized that, although the Open Run Pro has amazing bone conduction tech and fabulous hardware, I was really seeking a replacement model for my Air Pods and the Open Fit was the answer. As for Amazon Prime, I think delivery time depends upon where one lives. 95% of the time, if I order a product before 3PM, I will receive it on the same day, usually, before 8PM. That may just be a Los Angeles kind of thing (smile).

I live in Oregon, and I suspect they were shipped from somewhere back east, so decent turnaround, not that much different than Amazon, which prime does not always come in two days anymore.

RE: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone
Hello Kelly, You ask an interesting question. The sound quality between the two models is equally excellent but quite different. Remember, the Open Run Pro is transmitting sound through bone, not ear drums while the Open Fit is transmitting sound through eardrums not bone. Both devices allow for the same level of ear openness, so to speak. The Open Run Pro is one unit, made more for exercise and distance walking. It is not as compact as the Open Fit. However, it is sweat resistant and has sturdier hardware. The Open fit, is more like Air Pods, with a charging case that can easily fit in one's shirt pocket. It is no exaggeration when I tell you that I use them both and would hate to be without either.

In short, does the $50 extra get you better audio quality or are you paying for other technology and the $130 has equivalent audio sound. Kelly > On Feb 7, 2024, at 8:54 PM, M.

Re: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone
I just got a pair of the open fit, and I purchased them from at guys, keep the money in the blind community when you can if the price is the same or very close, I say. I ordered them on the weekend and they came today. I live in Oregon, and I suspect they were shipped from somewhere back east, so decent turnaround, not that much different than Amazon, which prime does not always come in two days anymore. Mark, how did you find out about all this stuff? I’m assuming there is nothing accessible as far as documentation goes. Any hints about that would be great.

Re: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone
Hi, Have you noticed any difference in the audio quality of the units? In short, does the $50 extra get you better audio quality or are you paying for other technology and the $130 has equivalent audio sound. Kelly > On Feb 7, 2024, at 8:54 PM, M.

Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone
Hello Everyone, A couple of days ago, I purchased a pair of the Open Run Pro bone conducting Bluetooth headsets for use with my iPhone. I decided to buy a pair because I have a couple of friends who are using the Open Run models and when talking to them, I cannot tell that they are using a Bluetooth headset, the microphone quality is that good. I think they are absolutely amazing. What I did not discover until after purchasing is that, using the Shock app for iOS, one can change the voice profile. Kind of an E.Q. feature that I absolutely love. The cost of this model is approximately 180 USD. In fact, I was so impressed with the Open Run Pro model that, just 2 days later, I purchased the Open Fit model. With the Open Fit, you do not only have 4 preset sound profiles, from which to choose, but you also have a full equalizer feature. The approximate cost of the Open Fit model is 130 USD. There are several differences between the Open Run Pro and the Open Fit model. 1. The Open Run Pro is bone conduction. 2. The Open Fit, while not sitting in the ear, uses sound waves to conduct the sound. 3. Like Air Pods, the Open Fit can be worn on one ear at a time or on both ears. 4. Unlike Air Pods, both the Open Run Pro and the Open Fit can switch between Apple Watch and iPhone seamlessly as both models can connect to, two, devices, simultaneously. You can purchase these models from Amazon or from Shock.com or, like me, just go into your local Best Buy and grab a pair.
