If you’re looking for headphones that let you hear the world around you without sacrificing sound quality, you’re in luck. The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 are currently available for $124.95 as part of the October Prime Day deal, a 31% discount from their original price of $179.95.
I recently discovered the world of bone conduction headphones (BCM). Now, when running in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens, I rely entirely on BCM technology to stay aware of traffic, other runners, and inattentive cyclists. As my colleague Daniel Oropeza wrote in detail here , the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 are the best BCM we’ve ever tried.
With these Shokz, I felt virtually no ear fatigue, even on runs of 18 miles or more. Their IP55 rating held up well when I wore them during humid summer runs and sudden downpours. Most importantly, their battery lasts a long time, withstanding even the longest workouts. Even if I forget to charge the headphones the night before a run, a quick five-minute charge gives me about 1.5 hours of listening time.
They may never match the bass quality of traditional in-ear headphones, but they’re more than good enough for podcasts, audiobooks, and listening to music while running.
