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 portfolio to receive mobile app support (iOS/Android). The app is simple, but opens the door for firmware updates to keep the headset competitive down the line. You can also switch between EQ modes (Standard and Vocal) and enable multipoint connectivity, but you can do that directly from the controls too.

Added functionality from the app includes the ability to choose the language of “Audrey,” the built-in voice prompt, and access firmware updates

The OpenRun aren’t exclusive to runners, anyone can wear these safety-first headphones, and many urban dwellers do. Bone conduction headphones like the OpenRun Pro are also good for those with certain hearing impairments. Rather than send sound waves down your ear canal, the headphones send vibrations through your skull, bypassing the outer and middle ear. This means you can wear the OpenRun Pro with certain types of hearing aids.

The Shokz OpenRun Pro come in four colors: pink, black, blue, and beige.

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
