Quick verdict

Yes, for running and cycling where you need to hear traffic. The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 is a one-piece open-ear headset that combines bone conduction with air-conduction drivers for more bass, with up to 12 hours of battery and USB-C charging. The band can clash with high collars, hoods and some helmets, and it can't isolate noise like sealed earbuds.

Our Take

The OpenRun Pro 2 is Shokz's premium running headset. It wraps behind your head and rests in front of the ears, leaving them open. The Amazon listing says it pairs bone conduction for highs with air-conduction drivers for deeper bass. Shokz lists up to 12 hours of battery and a 1-hour charge over USB-C. A 5-minute charge gives about 2.5 hours in Shokz's lab test. It comes in Standard and Mini sizes. Shokz says to measure the distance between your ears and pick Mini under 9.25 inches. Shokz's own store gives a 2-year warranty. The trade-offs: the band can touch a high collar or a hood, and open-ear sound can't match sealed earbuds in noisy places. We haven't tested it ourselves. Choose it for running and cycling where you need to hear traffic.

Why PriceDropIQ Selected It
