There’s a reason why you should opt for bone conduction tech over standard headphones if you do enjoy working out or running outdoors. As anyone who regularly starts the morning with a jog or a longer run knows, the last thing you want is for the sound of oncoming traffic to be blocked out whilst you’re on your route, compromising your safety in the process.
We’ve tested various Shokz headphones in the past and have been impressed by just how much detail can be heard from these types of devices. It’s not quite a one-to-one replacement for conventional headphones, but we’d argue the sacrifice in certain instances is worth it.
The Shokz OpenRun stay firmly in place during your toughest workouts, and without the need for wires, you won’t accidentally tug them from your head when your pushing hard.
The buds are also sweat-resistant and have an IP67 rating for water resistance, so you won’t have to worry about leaving them at home when it starts to rain.
When we reviewed these, we praised the fit and balanced sound performance along with the welcome quick charge features.
