SAVE $40: As of Aug. 27, the SHOKZ OpenRun Pro 2 headphones are on sale for $139.95 at Amazon. That's a 22% discount on list price.
Runners know the struggle: you want your playlist to keep you motivated, but traditional earbuds either block out the world around you or refuse to stay put once you start moving. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
This is where SHOKZ OpenRun Pro 2 come in. Utilising bone-conducting technology, these headphones are designed for running. They help to keep your ears free for spatial awareness, and still allow you to enjoy your favorite running playlist or podcast.
Bone conduction technology is a clever technology that transmits sound through vibrations directly to the inner ear via the cheekbones, bypassing the eardrum, and increasing your spatial awareness. And as of Aug. 27, you can buy the SHOKZ OpenRun Pro for less, reduced to just $139.95 at Amazon.
They still deliver the same high-quality audio you'd expect from earbuds, all while keeping your ears open to your surroundings for safety and connection during workouts. This is something we recommend for runners, and a model I've had on my wishlist for a while.
These headphones sport an IP55 waterproof rating, so they’re sweatproof and work for runs or walks in the rain. However, these are not suitable for swimming. The battery life will keep you listening for up to 12 hours, and a quick five-minute charge will top you up with two and a half hours of extra playtime.
