Shokz is offering a timely discount on its best bone conduction headphones, the OpenRun Pro 2. Now costing around £139.95 ($40 off), they’re available from Amazon, Best Buy and Shokz’s own website until May 10th. As an added bonus, direct buyers receive a free waist bag, worth £29.99.
These headphones are designed for safety; instead of blocking sound, they allow users to hear their surroundings while enjoying music or podcasts. The Verge praised the OpenRun Pro 2, noting that despite their open design, they deliver impressive bass and clarity thanks to a dedicated air conduction speaker. While not quite as robust in terms of sound quality as traditional earbuds, they are notably more comfortable with flexible ear hooks and a lightweight neckband that can accommodate glasses wearers.
The OpenRun Pro 2 offer up to 12 hours on a single charge, making them suitable for long commutes or intense workouts. They also feature an IP55 rating, allowing for some water resistance, and include AI-powered noise cancellation during calls (though results were mixed in testing).
For those interested in open-ear technology but perhaps looking for something more affordable, the OpenFit 2 Plus offer a similar experience with wireless charging support. Meanwhile, the standard OpenRun provides an even lighter option, albeit with slightly less battery life and water resistance.
