Introduction
Shokz prides itself on pushing the limits of technological innovation. With each new product, the goal is always the same – to provide users with an unparalleled listening experience. The new OpenRun Pro 2 does this in spades. It’s full of surprises, breakthroughs, and improvements, and it represents a quantum leap forward in all categories, but particularly in sound quality.
The newest features include DualPitch™ Technology, which creates clear and dynamic audio and reduces vibrations for ultimate comfort. Four pre-set EQ modes that allow for a more customizable listening experience. And groundbreaking microphone technology that can capture your voice with crystal-clear precision. Here’s a little more:
Dual Drivers
The biggest breakthrough in the new OpenRun Pro 2 is its use of DualPitch™ Technology. This combines bone conduction and air conduction technology to create sound that is both clear and powerful. The higher frequencies are handled by the ultra-thin bone conduction driver to deliver clearer highs and mids that are full and natural. With its dual reed and coil design, the driver is also able to generate a purer vocal sound by stabilizing the vibration system.
The low-pitch sound waves, on the other hand, are handled by the air conduction driver to deliver a deeper, more booming bass. The sound is flawless, even when listening at high volume, due to the driver’s featherlight dome-shaped diaphragm, which can attain greater amplitudes without compromising audio balance.
The combined effect of these dual drivers is a more detailed, accurate, and powerful representation of the audio. They capture the nuances of each instrument and the delicate changes in pitch and tone from each singer, allowing you to enjoy a richer and more realistic music experience. It’s like being at your very own live concert!
Reduced Vibrations
Strong vibrations are one of the main criticisms of bone conduction headphones, and since almost all previous Shokz models have made use of pure bone conduction tech – with the exception of the OpenFit and OpenFit Air – these vibrations have been unavoidable. However, DualPitch™ Technology solves this issue by assigning the low frequencies to the air conduction driver. This creates minimal vibrations for less tactile feedback.
Customizable Sound
With a custom algorithm that assigns each sound element to a dedicated driver, the OpenRun Pro 2 crafts a balanced and immersive 3D soundscape, so you don’t have to worry about muddled frequencies or flat audio. And to ensure every note rings true, dynamic range compression (DRC) technology silences distortion, even at high volume.
Additionally, the OpenRun Pro 2 offers 4 pre-set EQ modes to optimize your listening experience across different genres and activities. Standard mode, with its balanced frequency, is ideal for listening to music. Vocal mode enhances the mid frequencies so you can listen to music while reading an e-book or attending an online course. Bass Boost enhances the lower frequencies for bass-heavy genres, and Treble Boost enhances the higher frequencies for lighter, more relaxing music.
Cutting-Edge Microphones
The OpenRun Pro 2 has strategically positioned dual microphones that are designed to capture even the subtlest inflections while also reducing environmental noise. This means your every word will ring true, whether you’re on a bustling street or in a noisy cafe. In fact, it’s been proven that the AI-powered noise reduction algorithm can filter out 96.5% of ambient noise.
And no matter how active you are, the OpenRun Pro 2 has you covered in terms of taking calls on the go. Its wind-resistant microphone is meticulously engineered with dual-balanced sound vents and is positioned in the optimal low-wind zone. This ensures that, whether you’re cycling or running, you can enjoy crystal-clear communication at speeds of up to 25 km/hr.
So let’s say someone calls you while you’re on a hike or a run – you don’t have to stop to answer. Or let’s say you commute by bike and want to dial-in to a conference call – you don’t have to worry about sound distortion. The OpenRun Pro 2 provides a smooth calling experience at leisure speeds.
Conclusion
When it comes to open-ear headphones, it’s that much more challenging to improve sound quality. But with the OpenRun Pro 2, you get the best of both worlds: a more dimensional music profile with the same situational awareness. So you can enjoy listening to music and exercising while staying alert to the people and objects around you.
The all-new OpenRun Pro 2 is a truly next-level audio experience that offers listeners a more robust, dynamic, and immersive soundscape. With DualPitch™ Technology, you can enjoy flawless sound and reduced vibrations while 4 pre-set EQ modes ensure you get the most out of any genre of music. And with cutting-edge dual microphones, you can take calls from a busy cafe or an afternoon bike ride. It’s no understatement that the OpenRun Pro 2 from Shokz is redefining the sound of sports.
