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 your audio is playing switches between a standard mode that promises a standard frequency for listening to music, and a vocal booster for listening to audiobooks and podcasts.

Switching between those two modes, there’s definitely a greater emphasis on clarity in that vocal mode while the standard mode does try to offer a punchier sound than previous Shokz headphones. Ultimately though, that attempt to bring the bass comes at the noticeable expense of clarity, and there’s more noticeable vibrations in a bid to deliver that bigger sound to the ears.

That ever so slight jump up in bass is more noticeable indoors than outdoors unfortunately, where I really hoped it would make a difference. I took them out for a series of runs and the sound profile didn’t feel particularly warm, bassy or seem to offer more power than other Shokz headphones. It still struggled to battle with the wind, even at top volume.

It’s a similar story when handling calls. They handle things better inside than they do outside, so if you’re hoping to take a lot of big calls on them out on your runs, you might be underwhelmed by the call quality when there’s a lot of exterior sound around you.

Shokz OpenRun Pro Good vibrations

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. Not every dog w
