Would you look at that? The alternatives to typical earbuds, these options continue to expand
0:07
And today we actually have two from a company called Shox, formerly known as Aftershox
0:13
which I believe was responsible for my introduction into bone conduction technology
0:19
and wireless earbud alternatives. So you have this one, the Open Run Pro
0:26
as the name implies open run you go for a run your ears remain open but you're still hearing
0:32
your audio this one goes around the neck there's a neckband portion available in a couple of
0:38
different colors but then there's a new model and as you can see that's indicated in the top right
0:44
corner here this is the open run pro mini this has been sized down for a snug fit which i think
0:51
would be something that a fitness type would be looking for. I mean, you see this guy, he's a little bit sweaty
0:57
He's definitely been running, maybe lifting. Snug fit's going to be something that you want
1:02
It's also going to be ideal for smaller head sizes. Unlike traditional headphones
1:07
Shox Signature Bone Conduction Technology innovates the way people hear sound. Open Run Pro Mini features an open ear design
1:14
that keeps you aware of your surroundings and delivers all day comfort
1:18
So it's twofold, right? I mean, the main focus here is that your ear cs, your ear drums remain available to external noises
1:26
The other side of it is some people are sensitive to just having stuff in their ears. These sit on the outside
1:31
Ninth generation phone conduction tech. So they've been at it for a little while
1:37
Turbo pitch technology for enhanced bass. Dual noise cancelling mic for clear calls
1:41
That's another one. If you're one of these people that you have to frequently have calls, video conferences and things like this
1:47
This may be comfortable to wear for extended periods so you can use it for your clear calls Titanium frame for secure fit Hmm i didn realize the frame was titanium this is a nice little graphic image that showcases
1:59
the scale difference of the mini to the pro i'll try them both out and see which is more
2:04
optimal for myself quick charge capable 10 hours of music and ip55 water resistance blue and pink
2:11
whatever suits your style nice little carrying case comes with it some paperwork is in here as
2:17
well. I know that's your favorite part of any unboxing video. Little magnetic connector to keep
2:23
things charged up. It's a USB-A on the other end. So you have this little section right here and
2:28
it just slaps on. I mean that I love when a charger kind of finds its own home via magnets
2:34
It's a nice little hard shell carrying case. This is going to protect them though which is nice
2:39
Funky the way those sit up in there but they're nicely housed. Now remember this is the mini and
2:45
And the way that these are worn, this unit is going to sit in front of your ear c over the top as you're seeing there
2:53
Certainly a snug fit for me. You know, I can imagine wearing these while playing basketball
2:58
You still want to hear the ball. You want to hear the surroundings. You're a little nervous that people might be watching your terrible performance
3:05
And you're like, I want to hear them if they're chuckling. And I can listen to my music and still know about it
3:10
Now, when you look at the front section, you can see some grills there. one on the front and one on the rear one on the bottom here we have a microphone tiny little dot
3:18
right there okay so i'm gonna put the bigger one on i'm getting audio dialogue welcome to shocks
3:24
battery medium without having to look at an led or something it's telling you what the battery life
3:28
is now i'm gonna go ahead and connect to it so we're paired up very nice minimalist looking app
3:33
if i click on eq modes here we go standard balanced frequency for listening to music vocal enhanced
3:38
intermediate frequency for listening to spoken voice ah this is if you're listening to audiobooks
3:43
or podcasts i going to keep it in standard for now volume play pause next track Multipoint pairing is available if we go into settings here
3:54
Cold winter walking. Super ambient. Oh, I've heard this one before
4:10
A little more bass on this one. Well, it has a little kind of vibration to it
4:20
I was getting into it a little bit. Let me do some spoken word
4:25
Let me just try load up some blue later over here. Change to the vocal
4:30
Oh, wow. It's quite a bit different. It's quite a bit different. Like it's louder
4:35
You're definitely going to want to use the EQ. if you are primarily listening to podcasts and audiobooks compared to music
4:43
This is an alternative. It's a legitimate alternative. This is a different audio solution from earbuds or headphones
4:50
You're going to know right away if you're a candidate for this product, depending on how important it is that you are aware of your surroundings
4:56
how much you're looking for enhanced comfort, like whether or not you find earbuds to be irritating
5:01
headphones to be bulky or hot. These will free up your ears
5:05
It's like a different product category and they serve an independent purpose, which is like full transparency while still listening to something without anything in your ears
5:17
Now, I don't know if I prefer the mini versus the open run pro
5:21
I probably have a large size thing going on here relative to the general public
5:28
We'll get Mo to try them on as well and he can let me know which one he prefers
5:32
Some of this comes down to whether or not you want a more casual fit or a more snug fit
5:37
Like this one it right there It right on the back there So since this is a cooking show we have a standard pro that already been set up and this showcases your difference in scale It actually significant when you look at it there on camera
5:50
Kinda nice that we finally have some size options here. Not everyone's built the same way
5:55
Now this leaves a little gap for me. You know what I mean
6:00
Like see how I can kind of lift that up and down there across the back, but he has way more space than I do
6:05
Like his distance, his neck. I think he has a different neck setup than I do
6:10
Like, that's a thick area on me, whereas this guy may be less so. So you can see that's the way the picture is drawn for him on the standard model
6:18
If you compare it to the mini model, you can see this is tighter for him, but it's not right up against
6:24
Now, Mo, did you want to? Well, let's just see what's going on here. See, that's right up against your neck, too
6:30
Wow, he's really rushing through this right now. Mo, he's stressed out
6:34
I don't like being in front of the camera. He's just flying right now. I like being on the other side
6:39
So you like the snug fit. Well, I mean, the concept is that, like, I'd be running with this, right
6:44
Is that what you're doing these days? The Mini is for me. Are you doing a lot of running these days
6:49
Where are you going, Mo? Running away? Mo says he'd go for the Mini. Obviously, this depends on your head size
6:54
So if you know, for example, when you wear, like, a fitted cap, if you know you have a
6:57
smaller size head, you're probably going to gravitate towards the Mini. A larger size, you're going to go for the Pro
7:03
I could get away with either, though. It's important to note. I could wear the Mini. it's just going to be a little bit tighter on me a volume is underneath minus and plus
7:10
a little bit of a texture there black pink blue and beige in the pro model and then either beige
7:18
or black in the mini model both available now i'll have the relevant links down in the description
