Hong Kong Marathon21.1K

First half marathon with Shokz OpenFit Pro.

January 18 marked Sibo's first-ever half marathon at the Hong Kong Marathon. For race day, he chose Shokz OpenFit Pro to try open-ear design with noise reduction in a real marathon environment: crowds, wind, announcements, and race-day noise.

Stability over distanceWith glasses, the fit stayed secure from start to finish with no slipping or constant readjustment.
Comfort without sealed-ear fatigueOpen-ear listening kept the ear canal unblocked through a long run.
Cleaner sound at a lower volumeNoise reduction made pace prompts and music easier to hear while maintaining awareness of the course.

Seeing Shokz products out on the course made the experience even more memorable, connecting product work with everyday endurance and real-world use.
