What you need to know about the Shokz OpenRun Pro Lily Katz / SoundGuys These headphones rest on your cheekbones and send vibrations down the inner ear, bypassing the outer and middle ear. Shokz OpenRun Pro:  $179.95 / $229.95 CA / $250 AU / ‎€189.95 / £130 Seemingly indistinguishable from all of Shokz’ other bone conduction headphones, the OpenRun Pro retain the unoccluded ear design that Shokz fans love. With the latest ninth-generation bone conduction technology, the OpenRun Pro are as premium as bone conduction headphones get. Like other Shokz headsets, the OpenRun Pro have a durable titanium headband that can flex in any direction. Unlike other Shokz headsets, the OpenRun Pro include a premium hardshell, zippered carrying case. The Shokz OpenRun Pro are the only bone conduction headphones in the company’s po...

What's good about the Shokz OpenRun Pro? Lily Katz / SoundGuys The lightweight, titanium frame can withstand getting shoved into a bag. Most wireless workout earbuds block your ear to some degree, but the OpenRun Pro leave you free to hear everything. While I enjoy running with the AirPods Pro (2nd generation)’s Adaptive Transparency enabled, I prefer the real world sound from Shokz’ open fit. The OpenRun Pro even get loud enough that auditory masking is rarely an issue while running (quiet volume output plagues older models like the AfterShokz Air). This design keeps me keyed into traffic jams or unexpected sounds that could signal danger. Bone conduction headphones protect you from more than just your surroundings, they also keep your ears healthy by lowering your risk of an ear infection. With traditional earbuds, your ears trap heat and ...

What's not so good about the Shokz OpenRun Pro? Lily Katz / SoundGuys When you press any buttons on the headset, it emits a loud beep, which is annoying when increasing the volume multiple steps. Shokz’ proprietary 2-pin charging connector is even more annoying to see than a micro-USB port. The connector helps keep the headset compact and lightweight, also leaving more room for battery cells, but we know Shokz can install a USB-C port on its headsets—just look at the more affordable OpenMove ($79 at Amazon). Equally frustrating are the seemingly indistinguishable volume up and down controls. When running, it’s a gamble as to which one I end up pressing. It’s particularly difficult to differentiate the buttons with gloves on. In fact, these headphones aren’t friendly to cold weather garb: beanies, headbands, and ear warmers all feel uncomf...

Shokz OpenRun Pro review: Should you buy it? Lily Katz / SoundGuys While $179 is pricey, the Shokz OpenRun Pro are a great pair of daily-use headphones for runners, climbers, and anyone else, really. Resting at the top of Shokz’ product line, these really are some excellent bone conduction headphones for working out. Although I love these headphones, the app’s limited functionality isn’t a selling point. Instead, it could make more sense to purchase the Shokz OpenRun ($129 at Amazon) and save about $50. Sure, the “Pro” headphones deliver modestly better bass and battery life than the Open Run, but the OpenRun are more durable. You even get multipoint connectivity with either headset, making them equally good for work. Advert Content To really save a buck while still getting a reliable pair of bone conduction...

Shokz OpenRun Pro review: Design and comfort The design of Shokz OpenRun Pro is very similar to the standard OpenRuns. If my OpenRun headset wasn’t blue, I’d have a difficult time distinguishing the two at a glance. Though the OpenRun Pro dons the new “Shokz” logo, dropping the “After.” (Image credit: Future) A pair of vibration drivers are built into the ends of over-ear hooks that connect to each other via a thin yoke. The band is designed to snake behind your head, almost reaching your neck. For me, that means wearing Shokz OpenRun Pro under my hair or below a ponytail. The yoke doesn’t offer any flexibility, so I couldn’t adjust the size to fit my head snug as I’d like, but I’d trade that off for barely-there feel any day. The OpenRun Pro weighs just about an ounce. Sometimes I’d forget I was still wearing them long after I finished a workout....

Shokz OpenRun Pro review: Controls and voice assistants The Shokz OpenRun Pro uses the same physical buttons for controls as the standard OpenRun. A single multifunction button sits on the left driver housing facing out, while the volume rocker (which integrates the power button) is on the underside of the rectangular section behind the right ear hook. The OpenRun Pro’s rocker is almost twice as large as the Open Run’s rocker, solving my biggest complaint concerning the OpenRun’s usability.  (Image credit: Future) As for the MF button controls, a single tap means pause or play while a double tap skips to the next track. Holding down the MF button summons a voice assistant — either Google Assistant or Siri, depending on your paired smartphone — for queries or additional controls. I had no trouble waking Siri to respond to a text during my workout. Some more full-featured head...

Shokz OpenRun Pro review: Sound quality Wireless bone-conduction headphones don’t sound as strong as most wireless headphones. Compared to even the best cheap earbuds, there’s a certain degree of definition lost when music isn’t fed directly into your ears. But the Shokz OpenRun Pro come the closest of any bone conduction headphones I’ve tested (including the Bose Frames) to delivering all-encompassing sound. Shokz OpenRun Pro excelled with electronic synth riffs, maintaining precision and sophistication throughout Van Halen’s “Jump.” Rihanna’s “We Found Love” sounded sexy, yet still punchy. Vocals aren’t as pronounced as I usually like, though the witty verses of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s “Can’t Hold Us” held their own against the soaring piano line. (Image credit: Future) Now let’s talk about bass. Shokz says...

Shokz OpenRun Pro review: Battery life Another notable upgrade the OpenRun Pro has over the OpenRun is battery life. The OpenRun Pro is rated for 10 hours rather than 8 hours, offering more listening time between charges. Better yet, the battery can last up to 10 days when the headphones are turned off. With a couple of workouts lasting about an hour, the OpenRun Pro I tested needed juice after one week, with the built-in assistant reminding me of the battery level every time I turned the headphones on. (Image credit: Future) I wish the headphones would automatically turn off when I wasn’t listening to music for an extended period of time because, again, I forgot I was wearing the OpenRun Pro often. Fortunately, a 5-minute quick charge gave me about 1.5 hours of listening time in case I realized OpenRun Pro was dead when getting ready to workout. The case is protective, but it doesn’t have built-in cha...

Design Shokz OpenRun Pro By TrustedReviews Weighs 29g Look identical to standard model One of the most appealing aspects of Shokz headphones is that with every iteration they’ve generally got slimmer and lighter, making them less noticeable when they’re on your head. The OpenRun Pro looks pretty much identical to the OpenRun, coming in black and blue looks with the same wraparound headband-style titanium frame. It weighs just slightly heavier at 29g compared to the OpenRun (26g) and Shokz says its 20% smaller than its previous headphones. I’ve used the Aeropex, and more recently the OpenRun, and can’t say there’s a huge difference in the form factors and how they feel to use for exercise. You barely feel them when they’re on and they do stay put. Controls-wise, you’ve got two physical buttons on the right side of the frame to turn on the headphones and turn volume up or down. There’s also a...

Features Shokz OpenRun Pro IP55 water resistant 5-minute quick charge support In terms of battery life, Shokz is promising up to 10 hours with an hour to fully recharge them. That’s up from the 8 hours of the OpenRun and half an hour quicker to charge them back up. There’s also a speedier fast charge feature, where a 5-minute charge gets you 1.5 hours of listening time. I found with 3 hours of outdoor running with the Pro pretty at top volume, it dropped from 100% to 60%. I’d say that would probably work out to about 5 hours based on my testing. Shokz says it’s testing was at 75% volume, so if you’re willing to have the volume lower, then you’ll likely get a longer battery time. The IP55 water resistance rating means you’re getting something that can resist some sweat, rain and dust. It’s actually a weaker water resistance rating than the one included on the cheaper OpenRun headphones, which is ...

Sound quality Shokz OpenRun Pro Shokz’ 9th generation bone conduction technology Added bass enhancers Shokz says the OpenRun Pro packs its latest 9th generation bone conduction technology, which it’s calling TurboPitch. This uses two bass enhancers it claims can deliver “enhanced bass and premium sound quality”. The attempt to deliver fuller, more powerful sound is ultimately the biggest downside of bone conduction technology in general, where the approach to delivering sound to your ears via transducers travelling up your cheekbones and face often struggle to deliver really rewarding sound. As far as succeeding in delivering that bigger, bassier sound, I’d say it doesn’t quite work out as I anticipated. Shokz offers two EQ modes that you can toggle between from the headphones and from the Shokz app, which is currently only available in the US and Canada. Holding down the volume buttons together while...

Ear candy Shokz OpenRun Pro Ryan Haines / Android Authority From the minute you liberate the OpenRun Pro from their well-padded case, it’s clear these are no normal headphones. The speakers (for lack of a better term) sit in front of your ear while the controls, battery, and charging connector sit behind, bound by a thin band around the back of your head. It’s not immediately clear where to position the speakers for the best bone-conducting results, but I found that playing some music and fiddling with the placement helped. Once you figure out the right fit, putting them on and off becomes second nature. The controls are easy to pick up, too. Shokz stashed the power and volume controls on the right side while there’s a multifunction button on the left. It works like your standard earbud touch controls, with single, double, and triple taps for playback and answering cal...

Shokz OpenRun Pro Good vibrations Ryan Haines / Android Authority I’ve made the Shokz OpenRun Pro my trusty podcasting companion while out on the run at this point, and it’s tough to see myself wearing anything else. I’m a big fan of the true-crime genre, especially during fall, but it usually means my podcasts aren’t for everyone. Your average dog walker or mom with a stroller doesn’t need to hear the soothing tones of Keith Morrison recounting the most recent episodes of Dateline, after all. The vibes — vibrations, rather — are excellent, just like the environmental awareness. Shokz’s open-ear design means I can still hear everything going on around me, from the ding of a bicycle bell to a little kid yelling hello and waving furiously. It’s a nice social twist, as previously, I would have blown by just about anyone and anything with little more than a wave. ...

Shokz OpenRun Pro Open(Run) to suggestion Ryan Haines / Android Authority Podcasts, audiobooks, and cooking videos all have one thing in common — they rely heavily on spoken words. Music quality still lags a bit behind on the Shokz OpenRun Pro, though it’s come a long way since the earliest generations of bone-conduction headphones. The headset now packs ninth-generation Shokz TubroPitch Technology, but some lower tones, like bass, tend to give way to higher pitches and voices. There are two new bass enhancers, but it often seems like you have to crank the volume to get decent results. You may not mind if you’re a podcast junkie like me, but if you have to run to music, you may find yourself wanting more. I think Shokz could also stand to share some features between its models. Right now, you have to choose between a high-end Bluetooth model for some features or a dedicated swimmin...
