Amazon is clearing Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 inventory aggressively during Prime Day, and the price reflects it. The OpenRun Pro 2 is down to $124, off its $179 list price and at its record low on Amazon, a price only reached once before during last year’s Black Friday. This is a Prime Day deal for Prime members only, though a free 30-day trial without a credit card covers the full window. Stock has been moving fast since Tuesday morning and could sell out at any point.

Dual drivers

The OpenRun Pro 2 is the first Shokz headphone to combine both technologies in a single unit. Bone conduction handles the midrange and treble, transmitting sound through the cheekbones as the technology was originally designed to do, while a dedicated air conduction driver adds deep bass that bone conduction alone cannot reproduce. The result is a 3D audio profile with genuine low-end presence across 12 hours of battery life, which is what made the Pro 2 a meaningful upgrade over the original OpenRun Pro for anyone who found bone conduction’s bass response too thin for music-heavy workouts.

Open-ear safety, secure fit, reflective strip

The signature open-ear design leaves the ear canal completely unobstructed, which keeps ambient sound fully audible during road runs, cycling, and any outdoor activity where hearing traffic, other runners, or environmental cues matters for safety. Leak-free listening ensures audio stays contained to the wearer rather than broadcasting to everyone nearby, which was an early criticism of bone conduction technology that Shokz has consistently addressed across generations. The Ni-Ti alloy memory wire unibody frame with ergonomic ear hooks stays locked in position during gym sessions, cycling, and high-intensity intervals without readjustment, and a reflective strip on the back of the frame adds low-light visibility for dawn and dusk training.

Dual wind-resistant microphones with AI noise reduction filter out 96.5% of background noise including wind at up to 15 miles per hour, which makes calls during outdoor workouts genuinely usable rather than a compromise. The Shokz app adds dedicated EQ modes including a Classic Mode for pure bone conduction output and a Volume Boost Mode for noisy environments. IP55 water resistance covers sweat and rain for the full range of outdoor training scenarios.

The number one best seller in open-ear headphones on Amazon with a 4.5-star average across over 10,500 reviews, the OpenRun Pro 2 has validated its position at the top of the bone conduction category quickly since launch. At $124 at its record low, this is the lowest price these headphones have ever reached anywhere, matched only once during last year’s Black Friday. For Prime members, the window is open now and inventory is not guaranteed to last through the week.
