If you enjoy listening to music while you run or work out, then this headphone should be on your radar. As part of a Lightning deal during the final hours of October Prime Day, Amazon has dropped the price of the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Open-Ear Wireless Sport Headphones in Rose Gold to just $109.95 with free shipping. This headphone retails for $180 new and all other colorways are currently on sale for $130 so stick with rose gold for the biggest savings.
The OpenRun Pro 2 looks like a neckband style headphone except that the lightweight titanium band connecting the two ear pieces wraps around the back of your head instead of resting on your neck. This design does an excellent job of keeping everything in place, which is important because these are designed to be used while you're actively exercising.
Instead of the traditional method of sending sound vibrations to your eardrums, the OpenRun Pro uses bone conduction technology to send vibrations through your cheekbones directly to your inner ear. As such, the headphones are actually placed in front of your ear instead of on your ear. The biggest advantage is that you can fully hear your surroundings; if you like running on streets, for example, you'll be aware of everything that's going on around you while your music is playing.
The OpenRun Pro 2 is a substantial update over its predecessor. Probably the most noticeable upgrade is the switch from a proprietary magnetic charging cable to the USB Type-C standard.
