Hi all,
I'm looking to replace my current computer headset and I'm considering either the Shokz OpenComm2 2025 update or the new OpenMeet UC model.
I've used the first-generation OpenComm for years, but only with my phone for listening to books and podcasts.
What I need now is something that works well with a computer, especially with low latency. Audio lag would be a dealbreaker.
Both of these newer models use Shokz's updated USB adapter, the Loop 120, which is supposed to improve connection stability.
Has anyone tested either of these models on Windows with Jaws or NVDA?
I'd really appreciate any input or experiences you can share!
Thanks in advance!

My experience
Hi! I use a pair of Shokz OpenRun Pro 3 headphones that I bought last year on Black Friday, and I really love them! I use them with my iPhone and with Windows on a Mac using Parallels. The experience has been good, and I haven’t noticed any latency with NVDA or JAWS. I also haven’t noticed any lag when using them with my iPhone and VoiceOver. If you’re considering them, I think they’re a great deal, especially if you use multiple operating systems. The only thing I notice is a bit of lag with TalkBack on Android, but overall, I’m really happy with them!
Open Comm 2
Hi,
I have got the open comm 2 headset, but the bluetooth version rather than the one with the USB adapter.
I will admit, there is some lag there, it doesn't make it unusable though, and to my surprise, I did manage to do some audio editing with these headphones to some extent, which worked, although I'm still always going to use wired headphones for that sort of work regardless.
What I did like with the open comm 2 headphones is the impressive microphone, and the fact that I can use 2 devices connected to it and switch between them without having to press buttons to select each device.
