Could be wrong but I don’t think the OpenFit version is for running or biking - it’s mainly for the gym.

I have the OpenRun version and use it for biking and running and it’s great. I’ve been using these a lot running and I prefer these over my Sony noise canceling over ear headphones. There is just something about being outside and still being connected to surroundings - yes for safety but even beyond that - I just run better with my ears open to the air.

I’ve tried several of the bone conducting variety. Shokz is the easiest to use. They also just released a new version that has even better sound called the OpenRun 2 or something similar and it seems to have an even bigger bone conducting audio device.

The difference is that the OpenFit are not bone conducting, they have speakers which sit over the entry of your ear. And I think that's the reason why they are not really working for me.

Maybe I should give the bone conducting ones a try.

The bone conducting ones are better, but still not great with moderate-high background noise.
