Price: $199

Who it's for: Runners, cyclists, and endurance athletes who need situational awareness — especially solo outdoor athletes, those in traffic or backcountry, and people doing long efforts where battery life matters. Available in a Mini size, which multiple hosts flag as a genuine fit solution for smaller heads.
What people are saying: Hosts consistently praise the open-ear safety benefit, long battery life (cited as 8–10+ hours), comfort on long efforts, and solid audio for music, podcasts, and audiobooks. One host notes the rear band can conflict with glasses or a hat; another flags the Pro 2's improved bass as worth the upgrade over the base OpenRun.
Worth noting: Water resistant and backed by a warranty hosts describe as responsive — one received a replacement pair after a button failed. Notes are overwhelmingly positive with very little criticism beyond the glasses/hat band interference caveat.
