RE: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[M. Taylor]

Hello Mary,

If you have either the Open Run Pro or Open Fit model, you can easily enable 
and disable multipoint pairing via the iOS Shock app.  After the app is opened 
and connected to your headset, simply go to Settings and select Multipoint 
Pairing.  Toggle the switch to, on, and have VoiceOver read the simple pairing 
instructions on the display.  This feature does not require eyesight to enable 
or to use.

Well, that’s what I thought should happen. So I pair to my iPhone. Locked it, 
pair to my iPad no problems, lock that. Come back to the iPhone, it absolutely 
doesn’t work. I’ve done it several times over two days, and it’s just not 
working. I guess I should unpaired it and try it again. Otherwise, I guess I 
have to send them back which is too bad, because they meet my use case. But I 
need them to work on two devices, one for workouts and the other for zoom. So, 
if they don’t work they’ll go back and I’m SOL again.

[Richard Turner]

>From the Shokz help center:

How do I pair Opencomm with multiple devices?

Opencomm offers multipoint pairing, which allows users to connect to two 
devices at the same time.
While you won’t receive audio from both devices at the same time, you’ll be 
able to seamlessly transition from one device to the other.
To pair multiple devices through multipoint pairing:

1. Start with your Opencomm off.
2. Press and hold volume+ until Audrey says “pairing” and the LED indicator 
flashes red and blue.
3. Press and hold the multifunction button and volume+ button for 3 
seconds.Audrey says "multipoint enabled."
4. Open your first device's Bluetooth® menu and select "Opencomm by 
Shokz."Audrey says "connected"
5. Turn your Opencomm off.
6. Re-enter pairing mode by pressing and holding volume+ until Audrey says 
“pairing”and the LED indicator flashes red and blue.
7. Open your second device's Bluetooth® menu and select "Opencomm by 
Shokz."Audrey says "connected."
8. Turn your Opencomm off.
9. Turn your Opencomm on. Your Opencomm are now connected to both devices.

Does anyone on this list who has the open fit headphones have a full proof 
way of changing from one paired device to the other paired device, assuming 
you have two devices paired? I can’t do it. My iPhone just will not 
reconnect.

Re: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[Mary Otten]

Well, that’s what I thought should happen. So I pair to my iPhone. Locked it, 
pair to my iPad no problems, lock that. Come back to the iPhone, it absolutely 
doesn’t work. I’ve done it several times over two days, and it’s just not 
working. I guess I should unpaired it and try it again. Otherwise, I guess I 
have to send them back which is too bad, because they meet my use case. But I 
need them to work on two devices, one for workouts and the other for zoom. So, 
if they don’t work they’ll go back and I’m SOL again.

RE: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[Richard Turner]

I don't know about the OPenFit, but both the OpenRun and OpenComm if you pair 
to two devices, you have to be sure and lock the device you are not using, then 
as soon as you start using the other device, it comes over the headset.
I've done that with my iPad and iPhone on those.
I would think the OPenFit should work the same.
But, should and does are often quite different.

I personally would have gone with something other than Apple AirPods, but I got those for Christmas a few years ago or at least when the second generation AirPods Pro came out not sure when that was but anyway all that being said, I probably would’ve gone with something different but I got what I got and I’m not working right now so I can’t afford to get any of these cause They all sound good but I hope whoever benefits greatly from any recommendations will make a good decision that works best for them. Sent from my iPhoneOn Feb 10, 2024, at 8:00 AM, Richard Turner  wrote:Chela mentioned Sam’s Blind Life review of the Raycon Everyday earbuds.  Below is the link to Sam’s review on Youtube.  He says they have 8 hours of play time and 32 total by charging them in their case, the case can be charged wirelessly.  USBC cable included but of course, like everyone else, no charging block.Regular price $79.99 but if you go through his site to buy them and use the code Blind Life, you get a discount.  He says the sound is very good.  Others that have reviewed them were not so high on the sound quality, but sound, as we know, is very subjective.  You have 30 days to return them.  They are the in-ear earbuds with a variety of different sized tips to fit a wide audience.They have a 1 year warranty.  I personally don’t like things in my ears, which is why I have the regular Shokz OpenRun at $90.  They probably give a solid 6 hours, and maybe more, of listening on one charge and have a 2 year warranty.Here is the link to the Blind Life review of the Everyday Earbuds.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtwjLbI4z20 HTH, Richard, USA“Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience.

About the Raycon Everyday Earbuds was Re: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[Richard Turner]

Chela mentioned Sam's Blind Life review of the Raycon Everyday earbuds.
Below is the link to Sam's review on Youtube.  He says they have 8 hours of
play time and 32 total by charging them in their case, the case can be
charged wirelessly.  USBC cable included but of course, like everyone else,
no charging block.

Regular price $79.99 but if you go through his site to buy them and use the
code Blind Life, you get a discount.  He says the sound is very good.
Others that have reviewed them were not so high on the sound quality, but
sound, as we know, is very subjective.  You have 30 days to return them.
They are the in-ear earbuds with a variety of different sized tips to fit a
wide audience.

They have a 1 year warranty.  I personally don't like things in my ears,
which is why I have the regular Shokz OpenRun at $90.  They probably give a
solid 6 hours, and maybe more, of listening on one charge and have a 2 year
warranty.

Here is the link to the Blind Life review of the Everyday Earbuds.

Interesting have you ever heard of Raycon Everyday Earbuds? Sam from The Blind

Someone else said they are two separate ear pieces with a hook over your ear to 
stay on.
This is from the web site:
7 hours of battery life with a single charge Up to 28 hours total listening 
time with the charging case A quick 5-minute charge provides 1 hour of 
listening time
IP54 Water Resistance
OpenFit features IP54 water resistance and is designed with a double-layer 
waterproof steel mesh and gauze for additional protection and enhanced sound 
performance.

I would compare prices with Amazon.

Does the Open fit come as individual pod or are these tied to each other in 
order to prevent from falling? How do we recharge them and whats the battery 
backup for one charge in open fit? I have open com with boom mic and its just 
fine for calls.

CJ, 
I cannot speak to the OpenFit, but the OpenRun has no delay. Since you can 
return them for a refund fairly easily with Amazon and I suspect Shokz 
themselves, I'd give them a try. Again, I have the OpenFit ones that cost about 
$90 that are the bone conduction that loop behind your head and have the hooks 
like a pair of glasses that go in front of your ear from the back and rest on 
the bone just in front of your ears.

Re: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[Richard Turner]

Hi Mike, Well, the problem seems to have solved itself. I suspect it may have had something to do with the iOS beta. I have not had nearly as much trouble with them connecting to both my iPhone 13 Pro and my new, refurbished,  iPad Mini 6. The iPad is on the release of 17.3 while the iPhone is on 17.4 beta. The OpenRun headset has no issues pairing. At this point, the OpenComm has paired consistently as well. Maybe 1 out of 10 times I have to turn them off and back on to get them paired, but nothing like it was for a while. All that to say, it must have been Gremlins. 😉Later, Richard, USA“Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience.

There is a 
standard Open Run by Shokz that was only $90.  My wife and I both got a 
pair when my OpenComm pair was acting like it wasn’t going to pair consistently 
any longer.
She got the 
smaller size, which works for her but she could use one that was a little 
smaller yet, though she really likes them.
 
I do not know what 
the difference is between the Open Run Pro and regular…

I am not Mark, but as far as I know the OpenRun has the round 
neckband similar to the OpenCom and some other older models whereas the OpenFit 
is two individual earbuds which sort of hang on your ears.

What are the differences

wear them?  I currently use the Aftershokz Trekz-Air headset and like the 
way it fits, sounds  and works.  Thanks

got a pair when my OpenComm pair was acting like it wasn’t going to pair 
consistently any longer.

She got the smaller size, which works for her but she could use one that was 
a little smaller yet, though she really likes them.



I do not know what the difference is between the Open Run Pro and regular…

I am not Mark, but as far as I know the OpenRun has the round neckband 
similar to the OpenCom and some other older models whereas the OpenFit is 
two individual earbuds which sort of hang on your ears.

Hi Mark,



What are the differences between the Open Run Pro and the Open fit models in 
regards as to how you wear them?  I currently use the Aftershokz Trekz-Air 
headset and like the way it fits, sounds  and works.  Thanks much.

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.

Mark

It does sound like the Open Fit would be the answer for me, provided that I 
don't have lag when inputting text, which is the problem I have had with the 
other devices I've tried.

Hello Allison,

If you are seeking an Air Pods replacement for general indoor and outdoor use, 
I would definitely recommend the Open Fit model as, for all intent and 
purposes, they work the same as the Air Pods with the added advantage of having 
a tiny hook that goes behind the ear, keeping them firmly in place.

These sound really interesting and may be just what I need.
A few months ago I purchased the Apple Airpods Generation 3 and, although they 
meet my needs, they are really poorly designed as I struggle to keep them in my 
ears and would certainly not risk going outdoors with them. I have tried other 
airpods but found they lagged when inputting text.
So, what I'm asking Is, do you have this issue with either the Open Run Pro 
bone conducting Bluetooth headsets or the Open Fit model and do you have a 
preference? If so, why?

So, if the Open Fit's speaker is located outside and just above the centre of 
the ear, does this mean that the sound can still only be heard by the listener?

Hello Mike,

As I have never used the Open Air models, I don’t think I can answer your 
question with any degree of certainty.

Open Fit is worn more like Air Pods except the speaker is located outside and 
just above the center of your ear while the Open Run Pro speakers sit in front 
of your ear, near the top of your jawbone.

That’s about the best I can do.

Mark, I too was not familiar with the term Open Air, or Open Back, or whatever 
variations there are.  That just means while they transmit sound your ears are 
open to hear the surrounding environment, while bone conduction use vibrations 
through the bones to provide the sound.

RE: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[Richard Turner]

Sieghard is correct.

The big different between the Open Run and OpenComm is that the OPenComm has a 
boom microphone while the Open Run is built-in.

It does sound fine to others I have spoken with.

The OpenComm might sound a little better I haven’t done a side-by-side 
comparison.

Hi Mark,

 

What are the differences between the Open Run Pro and the Open fit models in 
regards as to how you wear them?  I currently use the Aftershokz Trekz-Air 
headset and like the way it fits, sounds  and works.  Thanks much.

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.

Mark

RE: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[Richard Turner]

There is a standard Open Run by Shokz that was only $90.  My wife and I both 
got a pair when my OpenComm pair was acting like it wasn’t going to pair 
consistently any longer.

She got the smaller size, which works for her but she could use one that was a 
little smaller yet, though she really likes them.

 

I do not know what the difference is between the Open Run Pro and regular…

RE: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[CJ & AA MAY]

These sound really interesting and may be just what I need.
A few months ago I purchased the Apple Airpods Generation 3 and, although they 
meet my needs, they are really poorly designed as I struggle to keep them in my 
ears and would certainly not risk going outdoors with them. I have tried other 
airpods but found they lagged when inputting text.
So, what I'm asking Is, do you have this issue with either the Open Run Pro 
bone conducting Bluetooth headsets or the Open Fit model and do you have a 
preference? If so, why?

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.

RE: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[M. Taylor]

Mary,

On your iPhone, if you type in Aftershock, in the search field of the App 
Store, you will see the app used to configure both the Open Run and Open Fit 
models.

Although every function of the app is VoiceOver accessible, some of the button 
labels are a little bit weird even though they do make sense.  

The primary reason you will use the app is to configure the sound profile, 
(music, Vocal, etc.), update the firmware, and enable or disable multipoint 
functionality.  Be patient with the app and with yourself.

Mark

I just looked for an app in the App Store called shock as spelled in a message. 
I didn’t find anything useful. I did find something that I thought might be it, 
because it was spelled SHOKZ which is how I remember this having been spelled. 
But when I tapped on that, I got some app that was called speaker connect And 
gave me a three day trial with a subscription every month after that. I’m quite 
sure that’s not what I want. Can anybody give me a hint as to just what I need 
to search onto actually find this app. Thanks.

You can also change the equalizer by pressing and holding both the volume up 
and down button at the same time until the change is announced.
Be sure to keep the box it came in as well as a copy of your receipt. I too 
have the Open Run and have had other models throughout the years. I love the 
bone conduction feature as it leaves my ears open. I'm one of those blindies 
who loses all sense of direction if my ears are covered up. Anyway... the 
reason I say to hold onto all your stuff for the headset is that for every

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

I think they are absolutely amazing.

Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[M. Taylor]

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,
