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.
