This is my thoughts on the new Shokz Openrun 2 bone conducting headphones. As you can tell from the name, this was made for runners who wants to keep aware of the surroundings without having to lose music clarity and this was made just for that.

Box includes the following:

1- Case

1- Shokz Openrun pro 2 headphones

1- USB C cable

1- Serial number card

1- Manual

Box alone is super nice but then when you open, you're greeted by the hard case where the headphones sit if you aren't using it. It's just a case, nothing fancy like wireless charging for the headphones but it does store not just the headphones but also the charging wire.

Pop it out the box and open then you're greeted by the headphones. The headphones does come with some charge and in my case it was around 60%. Pairing it with my phone, projector for movies, and computer are quick and easy.

So, this headphones when you put it on just goes around your ear close by the ear canals on both side and the band goes around the back part of your head. This was my first time using bone conducting technology and I can say it's worth it. If you are a person where cartilage fatigue on or in your ear hurts like mine then this might be a solution for you for long periods. The sound is great for what it's intended for, the mic is clear for whoever your talk to, and the back ground noise cancelation works great during calls for the other side. Don't expect it to cancel noise for you unless you wear earplugs, so if you need music at work that requires an earplugs the whole time then I can see a good use for this.

It's been a couple of days and I love it. Takes an hour to charge and was able to get at least 8 hours of use from it nonstop. I haven't had a chance to push it all the way to the end of its battery life before charging.

My gripes is the band that goes around your head, it hangs out and it should be adjustable so it can hug your head which would make it more comfortable to wear. I got the standard based on what the fit guide was suggesting but maybe the mini would have been better.

My score for it would be 3.5 out of 5. The bone conduction could be better for louder environments but I'm not so loud environment, these are excellent and the band could be adjustable to accommodate all types of head shape.

So today the Torras Q3 Spin case arrived and this is my thoughts on it.

Now the presentation for the box is really well done, you can tell that they want you to experience that this isn't just another cheap experience and quality case you can find in Amazon but a premium product.

Inside the box include:

1- Front Case

1- Rear Case

2- Screen cleaning kit

2- HD clear screen protector

1- Quick Guide Pamphlet

So, I want to get the full experience and took off outer screen protector I already had installed. In the screen cleaning kit comes with your typical dust removal sticker, alcohol wipe, and your microfiber towel.

Now it did take me two attempts to get the screen protector to sit perfectly, first time moved a bit when I laid it down and lifted it, laid it back down and notice a dust particle. Knowing that this would annoy me, i went ahead and used the other one after recleaning the screen. This could be a lot easier if there was an outer guide tab so adjusting before laying it down on the screen like other screen protectors.

Once laid down it does what it's supposed to do but be aware that this screen protector isn't anti glare nor have the anti-fingerprint coating. You would pretty much carry a little microfiber towel to keep it clean, which for some people it's not a big deal but for me i enjoy my matte screen protectors due to anti glare and anti fingerprint coating. Touch response is good and no other thoughts about it.

Now the case, installing it is as easy as popping them in. I do like the feeling of the material and has a good grip feeling. On the left side buttons where the volume and power button has plenty of space and I think its a good distance compared to my clear case. Your finger placement would not have any issues when accessing the fingerprint sensor.

The hinge protector is spring tension so it will keep a good pressure without it moving when the phone is in tablet mode. Hinge is pretty low profile so it's not overly awkward with your fingers holding the phone open Does have a grip texture which helps to grip when holding it with one hand when the phone is open. The case even though is a full protection still keeps everything very minimal so with that in mind doesn't bulk up the phone like putting on a Iron man armor on.

The case does have a stand built in with a combination of magsafe. Simply pull it out to an angle you want and enjoy your viewing. The stand also swivels so you could also adjust based on what viewing angle you want. I do use a magsafe wallet, stand, and other things that require a magsafe to use. The magsafe is excellent and no doubt wouldn't worry about my wallet falling out or my phone dropping when I have it on my stand.

My rating on this case from Torras is a solid 5 out of 5 and the screen protectors a 3 out of 5. So overall a 4/5. Maybe I'm just nitpicking but wouldn't it be awesome to include a guide for the screen protector and possibly providing one tempered matte and one gloss tempered screen protector.
