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.

What's good about the Shokz OpenRun Pro?

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?

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?

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...
