Shokz, the bone conduction audio experts, have introduced the OpenRun Pro 2, aiming to make workouts a bit more musical and a lot more comfortable. Available today, this new release mixes practicality with solid sound quality to help users power through intense activities without missing a beat—literally.
At the heart of the OpenRun Pro 2 is Shokz’s latest DualPitch Technology. For the uninitiated, this isn’t just tech jargon—it’s what allows the headphones to produce audio that won’t leave you wondering if your playlist is playing through a tin can. Instead of just bone conduction, it separates the audio into two drivers, bringing clearer highs and fuller bass. If you’ve been skeptical about bone conduction before, this might change your tune.
Designed for athletes, these headphones come with unibody ear hooks that stay put no matter how much you jump, run, or contort yourself during workouts. And good news for anyone who finds headphones clamp a little too tight: Shokz reduced the pressure by 16%. That’s not just a percentage; it’s the difference between focusing on your workout and wondering if you accidentally bought a head clamp.
Color options include black and orange, which, let’s be honest, are nice choices for those who like to mix function with a touch of flair. Both color options come in two sizes—Standard and Mini—so you can find a fit that doesn’t make you feel like you’re wearing someone else’s headphones.
Shokz didn’t forget about voice clarity either. Thanks to AI noise-canceling microphones, the OpenRun Pro 2 cuts out up to 96.5% of background noise, so you can chat while biking at 25 km/h without sounding like you’re standing in a wind tunnel. With up to 12 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature, these headphones are ready to keep up with long workouts and even longer playlists. And, if you’re worried about sweat or rain, they’ve got an IP55 rating and a fancy hydrophobic coating to keep things dry.
The OpenRun Pro 2 is ready for action, priced at $179.95, and available on Shokz.com, Amazon, and other select retailers.
