You would remember a few weeks ago that we unboxed this on our YouTube, IG, and TikTok channels. Since then, this has been our constant travel buddy when I went on a trip outside the country and whenever I do my workouts. Don’t get me wrong, I do not have the most active lifestyle, but I finally realized the values of bone conducting headphones.
Here are the top reasons why you should consider getting the Shokz OpenRun Pro.
Open-Ear Comfort
If you’ve ever struggled with finding headphones that fit comfortably while still allowing you to stay aware of your surroundings, the OpenRun Pro is the answer to your prayers. These headphones feature a 20% smaller size than previous models, allowing for a more customized and comfortable fit. Plus, they still retain the signature Shokz open-ear design, which lets you stay aware of traffic, pedestrians, cyclists, and more. With the OpenRun Pro, you’ll be able to crush your training goals in comfort and safety.
During my recent travels, the OpenRun Pro proved to be very useful as I get to listen to podcasts or music while I was walking along the streets of Shenzhen. It gives a sense of awareness without depriving yourself with audio content that matters to you.
Enhanced Bass With Incredible Depth
When it comes to headphones, sound quality is everything. The Shokz OpenRun Pro features the latest 9th generation bone conduction technology with two added bass enhancers, resulting in the best-in-class audio. Experience every note, beat, and chorus of your favorite tunes with incredible depth and clarity. And because the sound is delivered through your cheekbone, you won’t have to worry about damaging your eardrums, making the OpenRun Pro perfect for long listening sessions.
The only issue I’ve got with this headphone is that it creates a significant amount of vibration in my jaws, which can be annoying at times.
10-Hour Battery Life Quick Charge
Whether you’re going for a long run or powering through a tough workout, you need headphones that can keep up with your activity level. The OpenRun Pro boasts a battery life of up to 10 hours, ensuring that you’ll never run out of juice mid-workout. And if you need to charge up quickly, the 5-minute Quick Charge will give you an extra 1.5 hours of battery life. That’s wild!
IP-55 Water Resistant
When you’re active, your headphones need to be able to withstand whatever comes your way. The OpenRun Pro has an IP55 rating, meaning it can weather dust and moisture (including your sweat). That makes it durable enough to withstand rainy runs, sweaty rides, and other gritty conditions. So no matter how intense your workout gets, your headphones will stay safe and sound.
Dual Noise-Cancelling Microphone
When you’re working out, you don’t want to miss an important call. With the OpenRun Pro’s dual noise-canceling microphone, you’ll be able to take calls no matter where you are.
When I had a meeting with Innovee Trading Inc.’s CEO, Sunil Karamchandani, he said that he’s been using the OpenRun Pro in his Zoom calls. I got really surprised by what he said! I tried it myself and I was impressed with the quality compared to other microphones of earphones I’ve used in the past. The microphone is designed to provide crystal-clear calls on both ends, so you won’t have to worry about any background noise interfering with your conversation.
Shokz App Compatible
The OpenRun Pro is compatible with the Shokz App, which makes it easy to customize your listening experience. The app allows for easy pairing (Bluetooth 5.1), multipoint pairing, and user tips. You can also choose from two EQ settings (Standard or Vocal Booster) to optimize your sound.
It’s Shokingly good!
The Shokz OpenRun Pro is the ultimate sport headphone for anyone who wants to take their workouts to the next level. With enhanced sound quality, all-day comfort, and a range of features designed for active lifestyles, the OpenRun Pro is the perfect choice for athletes of all levels.
