open run pro 2 vs openswim pro

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to choose between the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 and the Shokz OpenSwim Pro, but I’m also open to other brands/models if there’s a better option.

My main use cases are running and training in basket/football. One very important thing for me is being able to listen to music without carrying my phone, especially when I go running. Because of that, the openSwim Pro is very appealing.

At the same time, I still care about sound quality. Ideally, I’d like something as good as the OpenRun Pro 2 in terms of audio, or as close as possible, but with built-in storage for offline music.

Swimming/open-water use would be a nice bonus. I like the idea of being able to use them in the sea and listen to music while swimming, but that’s less important.

So my questions are:

  1. Between the OpenRun Pro 2 and OpenSwim Pro, which one would you recommend for my use case? How much worse is the audio quality on the OpenSwim Pro compared to the OpenRun Pro 2? Are the swim version as good comfort wise?
  2. Are there other models from Shokz or other brands that have good audio quality, onboard storage, and are suitable for sports?

Thanks
