Shokz Open Run Headphone

Because the Open Run uses bone conduction technology to send vibrations through your cheekbones, you won't get the deep bass or noise isolation of traditional in-ear headphones. However, you gain the benefit of hearing ambient sounds like traffic or conversations, which makes them significantly safer for outdoor exercise.

While the Open Run is IP67 rated, which means it is fully waterproof and can handle sweat, rain, and even brief submersion, it is not designed for swimming laps. The Bluetooth connection will not work underwater, so you would lose audio if you went for a swim.

They are exceptionally lightweight at just 26 grams and feature an ergonomic, wraparound design. Most users find them comfortable enough to wear for the full 8-hour battery life without experiencing the ear fatigue common with traditional earbuds.

The quick charge feature is designed for when you are in a rush. A 10-minute charge provides approximately 1.5 hours of listening time, which is usually enough to get you through a standard workout.

At moderate volume levels, sound leakage is minimal and generally not noticeable to people around you. If you turn the volume up to the maximum setting, someone standing very close might hear faint audio, but it is much less disruptive than open-back traditional headphones.
