I love the Shokz OpenRun headphones for running and cycling — but its Pro version is better, especially when discounted

I’ve been an avid cyclist for several years and an occasional runner, and I’ve found the Shokz OpenRun to be the best headphones for me while training.

As bone conduction headphones, the OpenRuns sit outside the ears to let the user be aware of their surroundings while listening to music or a podcast — particularly important if you’re riding on the road with traffic.

Shokz took that tech from the OpenRun and combined it with air-conduction technology found in the company’s other offerings, like the Shokz OpenFit range to offer improved audio quality with the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2.

They cost AU$319 at RRP, but the good news is these are now down to just AU$249 on Amazon, making them a tempting option for anyone keen on a new set of bone-conduction buds for work or play.
