The verdict
The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 are the cream of the crop when it comes to bone conduction headphones. The tried and true design wins me over again, making these an excellent pair of running earbuds. Just as before, the OpenRun Pro 2 have app support, with a few more features this time around. If you want to stay aware and entertained, these bone conduction headphones are it.
✓What we like
✓Leaves ears open, good for safety
✓Bluetooth 5.3 with Multipoint
✓Mobile app support
✓Comfortable and lightweight
✓Good sound for bone conduction
✕What could be better
✕IP rating is less impressive than the more affordable OpenRun
✕Microphone quality
