/PRZWT/BEIJING, Sept. 23, 2024 - As autumn sets in, cyclists are flocking to the outskirts of cities for evenings and weekends. Riding, hiking and hiking are the most popular outdoor sports, especially among people aged 18 to 45, according to the latest "Outdoor Sports Population Insights Report 2024" released by Mob Research Institute and Kurun Data.
When it comes to the choice of outdoor sports equipment, functionality, quality and materials are the main factors for consumers. Men prioritize price and design, while women prioritize comfort. On National Cycling Day on September 17, choosing a professional cycling headset that is both stylish and comfortable has become a hot topic for cycling enthusiasts.
Key indicators for purchasing cycling headphones
In order to gain a deeper understanding of the selection criteria for cycling headphones, the author interviewed senior cycling enthusiasts in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. They generally believe that sound quality, comfort and professionalism are the key considerations when purchasing cycling headphones.
The first is sound quality, which is one of the most basic and important performance performances of headphones, which is essential for enjoying music while riding. Excellent sound quality can make the riding experience more enjoyable, and clear voice navigation can also improve the efficiency of riding. On the other hand, sound quality is important, but comfort cannot be ignored either. Riding is a long-term sport, and a comfortable wearing experience can reduce the pressure on the ears and head, and avoid the discomfort caused by long-term wear. Choose headphones with soft materials, light weight, and ergonomic design. At the same time, pay attention to the air permeability and stability of the headphones to ensure that they can remain comfortable in different riding scenarios. In addition, the headphones need continuous power supply to play music or receive navigation instructions during riding, so the battery life directly affects the use experience. Choose a headset with a large battery capacity and fast charging technology to ensure that there is no need for frequent charging during long rides.
Things that must be prevented when riding outdoors may also encounter rainy days or sweating. Headphones with good waterproof performance can better protect the internal components from damage and prolong the service life. Choose headphones with a waterproof rating of IPX5 and above to meet the challenges of different riding environments.
OpenRun Pro 2 recommended by the media
The Cyclingnews website named Shokz Shaoyin OpenRun Pro as the "Best Outdoor Riding Headset" in the "Best Riding Headset of 2023" feature. When it comes to the review of Shaoyin OpenRun Pro, the editors of Cyclingnews made no secret of their love for the product: "Although our official award category for OpenRun is the best outdoor riding headset, it is actually just as good in the gym and other cycling equipment."
With the release of the new generation of OpenRun Pro 2, its comprehensive improvement in sound quality, comfort and ease of use has once again won wide recommendation in the media. The first thing that shocks people this time is its huge improvement in sound quality. The new bone dual-unit technology fuses the two units of bone conduction and air conduction perfectly. Whether it is high-pitched and passionate rock music or delicate and gentle classical melodies, it can be presented to the listener in a layered and detailed sound. The open design, combined with the sounds of birds and flowers and the babbling of water during outdoor riding, creates an unprecedented experience, making riding not only a physical exercise, but also a spiritual enjoyment.
In terms of comfort, OpenRun Pro 2 also has a huge improvement. OpenRun Pro 2's ear movement is fine-tuned by 4 degrees, which significantly optimizes the face angle. Coupled with the professionally deployed frequency division technology, the dual units take their own strengths and effectively reduce the "numbness" caused by high volume in some scenes. Whether it is wearing obedience or comfort, it can be described as an immediate upgrade. Some media even use the words "all-round rolling, pure rolling" to describe the huge improvement in sound quality and comfort of OpenRun Pro 2.
In terms of ease of use, OpenRun Pro 2 is no better. Bluetooth 5.3 technology not only optimizes the dual-device connection function, but also significantly improves the connection stability. While the battery life is upgraded to 12 hours, the fast charging capacity is also enhanced again, supporting "5-minute fast charging" to achieve 150 minutes of listening to music. At the same time, the charging interface is also upgraded to standard USB-C, which is combined with the dual protection of dust and waterproof plugs to achieve IPX7 level protection.
