I loved testing the Shokz OpenDots 2 and will continue to use them as my main running headphones in particular, and I’m happy to recommend them even ahead of the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, which sound a little better but cost a lot more.

If you plan to use the buds for everything, they’re worth the upgrade for the better sound, design and slightly longer battery
