Good points?
The design of the OpenRock Pro is noteworthy, with an IPX5 rating ensuring resistance to water splashes and sweat, making them an ideal companion for workouts or outdoor activities.
Intuitive on-device controls add convenience to the overall user experience but is particularly handy when doing a non-stop effort.
Weighing in at a mere 90g for the complete set, these earbuds offer a lightweight and comfortable fit making them suitable for extended use.
One of the standout features of the OpenRock Pro is the incorporation of OpenRock TubeBass technology. This innovation enhances low frequencies, providing a bass experience that is both powerful and immersive.
The 360-degree superior sound and 16.2mm driver ensures a well-rounded audio experience. In terms of audio decoding, the OpenRock Pro supports aptX, AAC and SBC, ensuring low latency and compatibility with a wide range of devices.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
