The Shokz OpenRun Pro aren’t your typical Bluetooth headphones. Instead of vibrating the air around your ears to create sound, they transmit vibration into your cheekbones — a technique called bone conduction that’s surprisingly effective. The advantage of this technology is that it can let you hear what you’re listening to clearly while leaving your ears completely unobstructed, thus letting you stay aware of your surroundings. When exercising outdoors, the ability to hear what’s around you can be crucial. It can also just be nice if you want to have a pump-up track but still be able to chat with exercise partners.
With the Shokz OpenRun Pro, you get an IP55 water resistance, so you don’t have to worry when getting caught in the rain during a jog. You probably won’t have to worry about the length of that run either, unless you’re an ultramarathoner, as the battery can run for 10 hours and was enough to last more than a marathon’s worth of running in our testing. Ten minutes of quick charging can deliver 90 minutes of power too, so you should have no trouble topping up before a workout if you remember to plug in before you change outfits.
