Which is better for marathon training?

The OpenRun Pro. It has a titanium frame for a secure fit, IP55 splash resistance and a 5-minute quick charge that adds 1.5 hours, which matters on long runs and race day.

Is the refurbished OpenRun Pro worth it over a new Air 2?

If the refurbished Pro costs less than a new Air 2, yes. You get more listed features and a Shokz warranty. If prices are close, the new Air 2 with its charging case is the safer buy.

Which has better call quality?

The OpenRun Pro, on paper. It has dual noise-canceling microphones, and reviewers praised its voice-calling performance. The Air 2 listing does not detail its mic setup.

Can I wear either in the rain?

The OpenRun Pro is rated IP55, so it handles sweat and rain splashes. The Air 2 is listed only as water-resistant, with no IP rating given, so treat it as less proven in heavy rain.

Do either connect to two devices at once?

The OpenRun Pro supports multipoint pairing. The Air 2 listing does not mention multipoint, so assume one device at a time unless Shokz says otherwise.

Which lasts longer per charge?

Both are rated at 10 hours max. The Pro adds a 5-minute quick charge for 1.5 hours of playback and a 1-hour full charge, which the Air 2 listing does not match.

Shokz OpenRun Pro vs Shokz OpenRun Air 2

Both are Shokz open-ear bone conduction running headphones with 10 hours of battery. The OpenRun Pro is the better pick for most runners: it has a titanium wraparound frame, IP55 rating, dual noise-canceling mics, two EQ modes and multipoint pairing, and it is sold as a certified refurbished unit backed by Shokz warranty. The OpenRun Air 2 is newer and rated 4.3 out of 5 from 91 ratings, but its listed specs are thinner and it ships with a charging case. Compare current prices at each store before deciding, since the refurbished Pro often undercuts a new Air 2.
