"Traditional bone conduction headphones route audio through the cheekbones to your inner ear which is a process that is brilliant for mids and highs, while consistently struggling with bass frequencies. Shokz created an engineering marvel in a dual driver system that combined bone conduction technology for clarity with air conduction drivers for deep bass response. This hybrid approach nets 3D audio with actual low-end punch rather than the thin sound that plagued previous bone conduction models."
"The combination produces powerful sound across up to 12 hours of continuous playback, and easily covers multiple marathon training runs or entire work weeks of commuting without needing to be recharged. The open-ear design leaves your ear canals completely unobstructed, and let in the ambient sounds in naturally while music plays simultaneously. You can hear approaching cars, emergency sirens, trail warnings from other runners, and conversations"
Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 reached a record-low price of $124 on Amazon during Black Friday, down from $179 after launching in spring. The second-generation model had not been discounted on Amazon before, unlike the original OpenRun Pro. The headphones target runners and outdoor users who need musical motivation while remaining aware of ambient sounds. The design pairs bone conduction for clear mids and highs with air conduction drivers to deliver real bass and 3D audio. The hybrid dual-driver system preserves open-ear situational awareness and provides up to 12 hours of continuous playback for long runs or commutes.
