The shokz openrun pro 2s do both bone conduction and external audio. Not the loudest headphone experience but they sound pretty good and I can hear people coming up behind me or cars and whatnot which is the point of them. I like them a lot for running.

Shokz Openrun Pro 2. Safer to run with as your ear canal is open to hear what’s around you. They wrap behind your neck and your ears so they are not going anywhere. Doubt it’s BIFL as it’s an integrated battery, but for running it’s the best and safest choice

Just buy Shokz Openrun Pro 2. Thank me later. You forget you have them on, can hear around you, have 10 hr battery, are comfortable, and you don't have to deal with earbuds in your ears bouncing around.

Calls I don't answer go voice to text message. All my clients know I focus on the client I am with, and will call them back as soon as I can. Never ever had an issue with that, either existing or potential clients. The clients that can't handle life / are too important to be understanding... are bet

I am not an audiophile. These are just to provide me something to listen while running. Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 when on the trail. You can still listen to music but you ears are still exposed to the world so you can hear people/critters/monsters/etc coming. AirPods on the road because they do a better j

I use Shokz OpenRun Pro 2s bone conducting headphones, and they are amazing for audiobooks and podcasts. I like them because they are open eared which makes them great for when you need situational awareness (jogging, walking the dog, bike riding, etc.). They work pretty well for music too (especial

I use Shokz OpenRun Pro 2. I live in a lumpy part of the UK, so lots of small climbs and small descents. They aren't perfect, but if you pair them with some cat ears and they're pretty solid on the whole. On some descents, I will pause the podcast, but below 25 to 30 mph they're generally very clear

You sure they're not their radio setup? Shokz openrun pro 2 > Airpods...airpods in the past have fallen and became a hazard for me while riding. Also, shokz you can hear everything around you.

As usual, everyone is suggesting the Shokz openrun pro 2. While theyre good, be mindful they often break after about 12 months. The volume power buttons stop working and they lose the ability to charge. I wasn't aware, until mine did the same. Checked online and saw a looooot of other people have ha
