Bone conduction headphones are increasingly popular, and Amazon Prime Day is giving you the chance to invest in a pair for less. Both the OpenRun and OpenRun Pro are available for 30% off, leaving each model at its lowest price to date. Both are fan favorites, making them an easy choice if you are an outdoor runner, hiker, walker, biker, etc. Bone conduction doesn't rely on the ear canal to deliver music to the cochlea but instead sends vibrations through your facial bones. While this might sound like sorcery, it's a great way to stay safe when you're on the trail without sacrificing your workout playlist.
SHOKZ OpenRun Pro
The OpenRun Pro are now available for just $125. They are a premium pair of bone conduction headphones offering patented 9th-generation technology with enhanced bass and consistency despite facial movements, so you can really "feel" your music. This pair has an IP55 rating, so they are resistant to water and dust, which means you can sweat to your heart's content (or until it's beating exceedingly fast). 10 hours of battery life will support a long hike, and a five-minute quick charge will give you enough listening time to get you through a two-a-day.
The OpenRun Pro comes with two listening modes: Standard and Vocal. Vocal provides a slight boost and clarity when it comes to podcasts and audiobooks. The SHOKZ app will let you toggle through these modes and also help you set up multipoint connectivity so that you can switch from your outdoor playlists to your indoor tv shows seamlessly.
SHOKZ OpenRun Pro - Premium Bone Conduction Headphones
The OpenRun Pro model is the crème de la crème of bone conduction headphones, and you can get them now for $55 off at $125. They have an IP55 rating, 10 hours of battery life with a 5-minute quick charge, and more present bass when compared to other models. You'll also have access to the SHOKZ app, allowing you to control multipoint connectivity and listening modes.
SHOKZ OpenRun
The SHOKZ OpenRun precede the OpenRun Pro, making them slightly cheaper overall and even more so during Prime Day, when you can get them for under $100. You won't have access to the listening app, and battery life is slightly less at eight hours, but the audio quality with the OpenRun practically performs just as well.
They have an IP67 rating (even better than the OpenRun Pro) which makes them practically waterproof, so it's okay if you get caught in the rain. PremiumPitch 2.0+ technology keeps sound quality high with angled transducers for better transference via vibration. This pair is lacking in sub-bass compared to its big brother, but most users will still get enough satisfying low-end. You may also notice that sound quality suffers if you are actively using your jaw (maybe don't use them during a meal), but overall this is a great-sounding pair of open headphones.
SHOKZ OpenRun
The OpenRun is the best model on the market when it comes to bone conduction, and you can snag a pair for just $90. The OpenRun have an impressive IP67 rating, which means they are practically waterproof. They also feature Bluetooth 5.1, onboard controls, and PremiumPitch 2.0+ which minimizes distortion and prevents audio bleed.
From bone conduction to wireless earbuds, there's something for everyone
With the OpenRun Pro and OpenRun both available for 30% off, you shouldn't have any trouble securing an awesome pair of bone-conduction headphones this Prime Day. Open headphones are great to let the world in, but certainly won't do if you need to keep things out. Consider rounding out your collection with additional savings on wireless earbuds. Once you're absolutely stocked up on listening tools, focus on what you'll be connecting to; perhaps a discounted laptop?
