Shokz Bone Conduction Headphones Are $60 Off Right Now
Bone conduction headphones are ideal for activities where hearing what’s going on around you is vital to your safety. This is because they use technology that transmits sound vibrations into the inner ear, leaving the ear canals open. Shokz is one of, if not the best , brand making bone conduction headphones at the moment; At the top of Shokz’s offerings is OpenRun Pro 2 , which I was able to review and test. But the OpenRun Pro are also quality headphones, and they’re currently on sale at Best Buy for $99.99 (originally $179.95), which is the lowest price they’ve ever had, according to price trackers .
If you’ve never used bone conduction headphones, it’s worth a try, and the Shokz OpenPro is a great introduction. Technology has come a long way since its inception. The main downside to how they work is that the bass doesn’t sound as good as in-ear headphones. The OpenRun Pro aims to compensate for some of these shortcomings: you won’t get the same booming bass as with regular headphones, but it will be the best you can get from any other bone conduction headphones.
As the name suggests, they are designed for outdoor use. They are IP55 dust and water resistant, lightweight and comfortable, and their design means they can be worn with bike helmets and sunglasses.
You can also use them as everyday headphones at home as they can receive calls; just remember that they do not block sound. If you plan to use them in an area with loud music or a lot of ambient noise, you will hear everything, so you may prefer to get regular headphones, but that defeats the purpose of open-ear headphones.
