The verdict

The Shokz OpenRun are a mild upgrade to one of the most popular bone conduction headphones around, the Aeropex by AfterShokz (now "Shokz"). Shokz includes a welcome quick charge feature along with Bluetooth 5.1. We like how the OpenRun allow you to remain fully engaged with your surroundings while simultaneously allowing you to enjoy your media. Bone conduction headphones may not be for everyone, but the OpenRun are one of your best options in a niche market.
