Source1Maker product pageshokz.com/products/openrunRead 23 October 20268 hours. Maker footnotes give the test as continuous playback after a full charge on an iPhone with iOS 14 at 75 to 80 percent volume and the standard EQ mode. One footnote names ACC encoded audio and the other a Hi-Res WAV file. OpenRun supports only SBC over Bluetooth, so SBC is stored as the link codec. Real use varies.
