"Amazon just cut the price on what runners everywhere call their favorite workout companion: The Shokz OpenRun Pro bone conduction headphones have dropped to $124, down from their usual $179 price tag. These aren't your standard issue earbuds that block out the world around you: they use bone conduction technology to deliver audio through your cheekbones while keeping your ears completely open."
"The OpenRun Pro takes a fundamentally different tack with workout audio: traditional earbuds create a seal in your ear canal which might be OK on the gym floor but becomes a serious safety hazard when you take your runs outdoors. These headphones perch on your cheekbones and transmit sound through bone conduction and leave your ear canals wide open. You hear your music, podcasts, or calls clearly while simultaneously hearing cars approaching, cyclists calling out, or someone trying to get your attention on the trail."
"The 9th generation represents years of refinement in bone conduction technology: They're the first Shokz headphones built to take advantage of TurboPitch technology, a design that confronts the main critique of bone conduction models of the past. The bass response feels full and rich rather than tinny or weak. You get clear vocals across your favorite tracks, powerful volume when you need to bear down during tough intervals, and surprisingly deep low-end frequencies that other bone conduction models struggled to deliver."
Shokz OpenRun Pro bone conduction headphones transmit audio through cheekbones while leaving ear canals open, allowing users to hear ambient sounds for outdoor safety. The model uses TurboPitch technology to improve bass response, delivering fuller low-end, clear vocals, and powerful volume for workouts. A lightweight wraparound titanium frame provides durability, flexible fit, and minimal pressure while keeping the headphones stable. Open-ear design preserves situational awareness of traffic, cyclists, and other trail users. The headphones are on sale at Amazon for $124, reduced from $179, offering a significant discount for runners seeking an alternative to traditional earbuds.
