OpenRun Pro 2 Bone Conduction Headphones

Shokz's 30 g running headphones keep your ears open, but traffic and wind can drown them out.

Buying call

Buy the OpenRun Pro 2 if you run or ride on roads and need to hear cars: reviewers rate them among the best bone-conduction headphones, they weigh 30.3 g, and they launched at $179.95. Shokz rates the battery at 12 hours, and one test got about 10 to 11 hours at high outdoor volume. Skip them if you want full sound or privacy, because bass still trails in-ear buds, sound leaks to people nearby, and loud or windy streets drown them out. They're IP55, so sweat and rain are fine but swimming isn't.
