Which is better for small heads?

The OpenRun Pro MINI. Its band is 0.5 inch shorter and it comes in two sizes, so it fits smaller heads more securely than the standard-band OpenRun Air 2.

Do both last 10 hours?

Both are rated at 10 hours max battery life. Note that the OpenRun Pro MINI description also mentions 8 hours with quick charge, so confirm the figure on the listing you buy from.

Which is more waterproof?

The OpenRun Pro MINI, at IP67. It is sweat and waterproof for intense workouts but not for swimming. The OpenRun Air 2 is only listed as water-resistant.

Is the OpenRun Air 2 worth it over the MINI?

Only if you want the charging case or a standard band. The MINI rates higher with buyers and adds IP67 and more colors, so it is the stronger pick unless fit or the case decides it.

Can I wear either while running in the rain?

Yes. Both are built for sports and handle sweat and weather. The MINI's IP67 rating is the more explicit guarantee of the two.

Do both have a microphone?

Yes. Both list a built-in microphone and Bluetooth wireless, so calls and voice assistants work on either.
