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.

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 From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mike B.

I currently use the Aftershokz Trekz-Air headset and like the way it fits, sounds and works. Thanks much. Take care. Mike.

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.
