Shokz OpenRun Pro deal matches what we saw during Prime Day. Read our tester’s take on the headphones’ audio, safety, and comfort.
As we’ve written before, bone-conduction headphones are the new standard in safety when it comes to listening to music while you run. Because they leave your ears open, instead of projecting the sound through your skull to “pipe” the audio in, you’re better able to hear when a car is coming up or a mountain biker throws out an “on your left!” I spotted more than a couple of runners rocking them in the starting corral at our local running festival this past month, too.
The audio quality of the OpenRun Pro isn’t as good as the Pro 2 or a typical pair of earbuds, but Dengate found that utilizing the TurboPitch feature gave the bass enough oomph to help make up for that somewhat. And, if you factor out the external speakers of the Pro 2, the Pro is better at pure bone-conduction. “During my testing, I plugged my ears to see how the bone conduction compared between the two models,” he wrote.
