ShokzOpenRun Pro2 Headphones(Return to Product Page)

I got these for road cycling, but I ended up using them mostly for running, because that's where they shine (and as the name implies, that's mostly what they are for). I pair them to my Garmin while running and have zero complaints. They are excellent. I do also using them riding, but obviously they are open ear headphones and if you have any significant wind noise you will have to crank the volume to get decent audio, which defeats the purpose because you can't hear what's around you. I can't wait to try these while mountain biking when it gets cooler, because I bet they will be outstanding at those slower speeds. They are also great for longer road climbs and you can just deal with the wind noise on the way down.

Looking for headphones that won't fly out of your ears on a run or ride? These might be a good option. I have done both, but I actually prefer to go without headphones when I'm using the roads. That's just me. That said, my favorite way to use these is when I'm doing lawn work, walking the dog, and stuff like that. I can still hear environmental cues, but can enjoy music at the same time with the added confidence of not losing an earbud in the dirt or in the creek or something frustrating and preventable like that. I do find the behind the neck loop to be a bit of a pain depending on hat/hoods or whatever, but my use of the Shokz OpenRun has primarily been during the fall/winter. I think these may prove to be even more useful in the hot months. Can't wait to find out.

Great product

I was very skeptical when these "bone conduction" headphones first came out. I saw more and more people wearing them, so of course like every cyclist I had to buy them too. I was immediately blown away by the technology that created an amazing quality of sound - all without illegally and dangerously using my earbuds in BOTH of my ears (California). My Spotify playlist is now both loud and crystal clear, and I can hear every essential sound that I need to focus on while riding: proper indexing of my gears when shifting, cars, conversations with my group. I don't know how it works, but it is phenomenal, and every rider in my group of 7 this morning was wearing Shokz this morning. I would never go back to normal ear buds - these things are phenomenal.

great product but I sometimes have difficulty with comfort when using with a bike helmet/

Battery last enough for a full day and the sound is amazing.
