Shokz OpenRun Pro 2
The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 uses bone conduction technology to deliver sound through your cheekbones, leaving your ears completely open to hear traffic, conversations, and your surroundings. DualPitch technology with a dedicated bass enhancer addresses the biggest weakness of bone conduction — thin bass — delivering noticeably punchier low end than previous models. The wraparound design stays locked in place during sprints and jumps. IP55 rating handles sweat and rain, and 12-hour battery life covers even ultra-marathon training sessions. The safest headphone for outdoor runners and cyclists.
