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 multifunction button at the top end of the arm on the left hand side, which you can press to play/pause, skip tracks, summon your smartphone’s smart assistant and handle calls. There’s dual-cancelling microphones to make sure those calls come out nice and clear.

There’s a small LED light tucked away on one side to indicate battery and pairing status and a port to plug in the magnetic conduction cable, which is a little on the flimsy side for my liking.
