"Being out on the road cycling OpenRun Pro 2 allows me to have full awareness of cars and traffic while still being able to play my favourite pump up music." “I use both the OpenRun Pro 2 and OpenFit Air. Being out on the road cycling this allows me to have full awareness of cars and traffic while still being able to play my favourite pump up music and get the most out of my ride. I never have to stress about them falling off on a fast descent or worried about traffic. They have been a game changer for me in safety. Some of my training rides can reach up-to 6/7 hours in duration and the satisfaction of the headphones never dying compared to friends who suffer and have to do the last part of training with nothing is always very satisfying!”
