A while back I switched to running while wearing bone conduction headphones (BCH), and I have zero regrets. Sure, they may never match the bass in traditional headphones, but a good pair can bring you perfectly solid sound quality—not to mention the comfort and safety that comes with an open-ear fit and BCH technology (they really do send sound through your bones).
Right now my number one favorite headphones for running, the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2, are available for $139.95 as part of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, a 22% discount off their list price of $179.95.
As my colleague Daniel Oropeza noted in his review, the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 are the best set of BCHs that either of us have ever tried. They’re across the board winners: Sound quality, secure fit, and battery life. (That last point is especially important for distance runners—even if I forget to charge the night before a long workout, a quick five-minute top-up gives me around 1.5 hours of listening time.)
What do you think so far?
If you’re looking for an even more affordable pair (without sacrificing quality), the original Shokz OpenRun are also on sale, down to $89.94 from a list price of $129.95. They might not have as powerful bass or as long a battery life compared to the OpenRun Pro 2, but they live up to the Shokz name.
