If you’re looking to purchase a pair of open-ear headphones for yourself — or your mom — Shokz is on the cards Mother’s Day sale. From now until May 10, the company’s best pair of bone conduction headphones is OpenRun Pro 2Available from Amazon, Best buyand Shakz For about $139.95 ($40 off), the lowest price of the year. If you purchase directly, you will also receive a free waist bag ($29.99 value).
While traditional headphones tend to block out the world, open-style headphones offer a safer alternative, allowing you to listen to music and podcasts while staying alert. After trying OpenRun Pro 2 Edge Victoria Song said Using them seemed “like the stars finally aligning.” Unlike many open-back headphones, they don’t skimp on bass or clarity thanks to a dedicated air conduction speaker, though they still can’t compete with a traditional pair of in-ear headphones when it comes to sound quality. However, they are more comfortable than previous Shokz models, with flexible ear hooks and a lightweight neck strap creating a secure and natural fit, even for those who wear glasses.
The fact that the Pro 2 vibrates much less than other models is another plus, as is the battery life. It delivers up to 12 hours on a single charge, which was enough for us to last about a week without plugging it in (it charges incredibly fast via USB-C, too). It also includes AI noise cancellation for calls (although results were mixed in our tests) and an IP55 rating, making it well-suited for both sweaty workouts and outdoor use.
