Headphones
The New Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 headphones are perfect for running thanks to dual drivers that utilize bone conduction and air conduction to ensure clear, resonant treble, mid and bass tones. Twelve hours of play time allows for multiple outings between charges, and you can adjust from Classic Mode to hear clearly in standard conditions or bump up to Boost Mode to drown out noisier surroundings.
These headphones also use an AI noise reduction algorithm to filter out 96.5% of background noise, including (but not limited to) up to 15 mph winds.
