Shokz OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction Review

The Shokz OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction are the upgraded variant of the Shokz OpenRun Bone Conduction. Like their sibling, they use vibrations on your cheekbones r...

IP55 rating for dust and water resistance. Decent recording quality. Supports multi-device pairing. Over 14 hours of continuous playback time. Stable, comfortable, and well-built design.

Prone to inconsistencies in audio delivery. Really lack low-bass. Leak audio at high volumes. Don't block out any background noise.

The Shokz OpenRun Pro are disappointing for neutral sound. These headphones reproduce sound by creating vibrations on your cheekbones, which travel to your inner ear. As a result, our testing rig can't adequately measure their performance. In real-life...

My favorite bone-conduction headphones are comfortable, durable, and $55 off for Black Friday

If having earbuds stuck into your ear canals doesn't appeal to you, Shokz OpenRun Pro open-ear headphones might be what you need.

Shokz OpenRun Pro review: Bone conduction headphones done right

Whether or not bone conduction headphones fit your tastes, the Shokz OpenRun Pro serve as an example of how good they can be when the pieces fit just right. You still have to keep an open mind, but these headphones make that easier to do.

Good sound quality ; Comfortable fit ; Multipoint connections ; Decent app support ; Solid battery life

Bass could be better ; Can't really adjust fit ; App needs a deeper EQ

The OpenRun Pro continue to show why Shokz is the premier brand for bone conduction headphones by doing the key things right. You do sacrifice a thing or two to get the experience, but if you're down to free your ears, you won't go wrong with these.

Shokz OpenRun Pro review: The best bone conduction headphones for running

The Shokz OpenRun Pro are the ultimate bone conduction headphones for athletes thanks to competitive sound, a barely-there feel and 10 hours of battery life.

Comfortable and lightweight ; Good sound for bone conduction ; Improved call quality ; Great battery life

Can’t adjust fit

Whether for ear health or spatial awareness, bone conduction is becoming a capable alternative to headphones that blast sound directly into your ears. In situations where it’s important to hear what’s happening around me, it’s bone conduction or bust....

Shokz OpenRun Pro review

Easily the best bass of any bone conduction headset we've tested

Greatly improved sound ; Light and comfortable to wear ; Quick-charge feature ; Larger, easier to use controls

More noticeable vibrations ; More expensive than OpenRun

The OpenRun Pro are the best-sounding bone conduction headphones we've tested, and mean you no longer need to make big compromises on audio quality if you want to opt for an open-ear headset. They also boast an impressive quick charge function that...

Shokz OpenRun Pro review: rad to the bone

Bone conduction headphones that can actually bring the bass? The Shokz OpenRun Pro delivers punchier sound than you expect from the tech

Ultra light and comfortable for exercise ; As good as bone conduction sound gets ; Dependable battery life

No fit adjustment ; Proprietary charging cable ; Too easily drowned out by traffic

Delivers better-sounding audio than any bone conducting rival. The OpenRun Pro also goes the distance on battery life, is comfortable to wear, and charges rapidly. Open-ear headsets don’t get much better.
