The best bone-conduction headphones just hit an all-time low price this Prime Day
5 hours ago
Bone-conduction headphones aren’t for everyone, but if you like staying aware of your surroundings while running, cycling, or commuting, the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 are the best you can buy. And this Prime Day, they’re down to just $125 ($55 off). That’s the lowest price we’ve ever seen for these headphones since they launched last summer.
Why are these so good? Unlike traditional earbuds that seal your ear canals, bone-conduction headphones rest on your cheekbones and send vibrations through your skull, leaving your ears completely open. This makes them ideal for outdoor exercise or urban environments where you need to hear traffic and stay alert.
In our testing, the OpenRun Pro 2 stood out for their lightweight, comfortable fit, and stable design that stays in place during vigorous workouts. The flexible titanium headband feels durable yet springy, and with an IP55 rating, these headphones can handle sweat and rain without issue. Battery life is also impressive, offering 12 hours of playback with fast charging via USB-C, which was a much-needed upgrade from Shokz’s older models.
But what really sets them apart is Shokz’s DualPitch technology, which delivers improved bass and treble compared to earlier models, all while keeping cheekbone vibrations minimal. The companion app adds extra value with a customizable EQ and multipoint Bluetooth pairing to switch seamlessly between devices.
While these aren’t designed to block out external noise, that’s the point—keeping your ears open to the environment is what makes them such a great choice for runners and cyclists.
If you’ve been holding out for the right time to try bone-conduction headphones, this is it. At $125, you’re getting the best of the best for less than many mid-range earbuds.
