Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Bone Conduction Headphones - Black

Why We Like It

The best part of running a trail is actually hearing it: your own footfalls on the gravel, a canyon wren calling down the rocks, the car easing past you on the shoulder. Bone conduction keeps your ears open so you hear all of it. The OpenRun Pro 2 does that with the fullest sound Shokz makes, adding a small bass speaker so your music finally has some punch.

• • •

• Bone conduction = you hear everything around you — Your ear canals stay open, so you hear your footfalls on the trail, birds in the brush, and cars coming up behind you along with your music. Hearing your own foot strike makes a real difference on loose, rocky ground.
• Hear who's sharing the trail — You'll catch a mountain biker's "on your left," a dog's jingling tags, or voices around the next bend, not just a surprise at your elbow.
• DualPitch dual-driver sound — Bone conduction handles mids and highs, and an air-conduction driver fills in the bass. It's the richest open-ear sound Shokz makes.
• 12-hour battery — Covers a full day on the Crest Trail and then some. A 5-minute quick charge adds about 2.5 hours.
• USB-C charging — The same cable as your phone and headlamp, so there's one less proprietary cord to forget at the trailhead.
• IP55 sweat resistance — Handles hard efforts and summer heat. Wipe it down afterward instead of rinsing it.
• Dual mics + Bluetooth 5.3, about 30 g — Clear calls, a stable connection, EQ presets in the Shokz app, and still light enough to forget about under a cap.

FAQ

Can you hear your surroundings with bone conduction headphones?
Yes, and that's the main reason to buy them. The OpenRun Pro 2 sits outside your ear canal, so you hear your footsteps, birds, other trail users, and passing cars at the same time as your music or podcast.

Are bone conduction headphones safer for running on roads?
Because your ears stay open, you can hear approaching traffic and cyclists much better than with earbuds. That makes them a popular pick for running and riding on road shoulders and shared-use paths.

Is the OpenRun Pro 2 waterproof?
It's rated IP55, so sweat and splashes are fine, but it isn't meant to be submerged or rinsed. If you run in heavy rain a lot, the IP67 OpenRun is the tougher choice.

OpenRun Pro 2 or OpenRun?
Both keep your ears open. The Pro 2 has richer bass, 12 hours of battery life versus 8, and USB-C charging. The OpenRun is lighter, cheaper, and more waterproof.
