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? Alison

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.
