Bone conduction headphones that sound excellent

What’s different about these headphones compared to others? They completely change their approach when it comes to how you use them. They rest on your cheekbones instead of going inside or over your ears. They have a dual-driver setup for mids and highs with a separate air conduction speaker for bass, which gives you more realistic sound.

They have dedicated bone conduction drivers to handle mids and highs while a separate air conduction speaker takes the low end. That’s for producing fuller, more controlled bass. It also ha six EQ modes, including a Classic mode that uses only bone conduction and a Volume Boost mode for noisy environments. You can use the Shokz App for two more customizable profiles.

You can get up to 12 hours of battery life per charge, which covers a full week of training for most people. You get a USB-C cable in the box, as well as quick charging handles fast top-ups. Bluetooth 5.3 covers a 32.8-foot wireless range. That’s plenty of room to stay connected to your phone without having dropouts.

Comfort improves with a 16% reduction in clamping force compared to the original OpenRun Pro. The unibody frame uses a Ni-Ti alloy memory wire and ergonomic ear hooks that stay locked in place during sprints, lifts, or cycling. A soft silicone finish covers the contact points, and a wider core contact area spreads pressure evenly. Two sizes are available, standard and mini, so smaller heads can get a secure seal.

Dual wind-resistant microphones and an AI noise reduction algorithm filter out 96.5% of background noise during calls. The mics handle wind speeds up to 15 miles per hour, which keeps your voice clear on long runs and outdoor rides. An IP55 rating with a double-layer mesh structure and a nano-hydrophobic coating protects the headphones against rain and sweat.

Bone conduction sits in its own corner of the headphone market, and the OpenRun Pro 2 is the most polished version Shokz has shipped. Stronger bass, longer battery life, the switch to USB-C, and a more comfortable fit combine in a flagship that holds up across running, lifting, commuting, and casual listening.

At $139.95 down from $179.95, the savings are worth jumping on if you’ve been curious about open-ear sport audio. And if you want a new pair of headphones without breaking the bank, you’ll definitely not want to miss out on this sale.
