Shokz Openrun Pro

The Shokz Openrun Pro earphones have major advantages for sporting activities but also in terms of sound quality.

Let’s start with its main quality that concerns its technology: the sound travels to the inner ear by bone conduction, without passing through the eardrum. Therefore, we avoid disasters if we listen to louder and louder music through conventional headphones that can affect hearing acuity (tinnitus, hearing loss, etc.). The hearing deterioration figures among young people are alarming, down to headphones misuse.

The ear canal is not bunged up with the Shokz Openrun Pro, you can still hear what’s going on around you: cars, runners, dogs barking, etc. Therefore you can react accordingly: it is a safety element.

The Shokz Openrun Pro fit in the ears is indisputable, both comfortable and especially you risk losing the earphones, when they cost almost 190 euros. They were very comfortable to wear during long trail runs. The material has very soft skin contact. Any sudden movements, sideways or upside down, don’t make the earphones move and the rear collar secures everything for extra measure. They only weigh 29 grams.

The stated autonomy is ten hours, obtained in one hour of charging. Five minutes charging, you have an hour and a half of autonomy, practical if you suddenly decide you want to go out and you forgot to plug in the Shokz Openrun Pro. The battery’s durability will need checking over time and if it can be changed. They have a magnetic plug for charging.

This Shokz Openrun Pro have very simple ergonomics and practical to use. You don’t need a science degree to work out how to use them. Bluetooth synchronization is very simple and fast. Notable point: a runner can have the music on their smartphone, whilst another isi wearing the earphones, the transmission and capture distance are far in open spaces.

The on/off/pause button is on the left ear, the volume on the right. Phone calls can also be answered. The Shokz Openrun Pro meets the IP55 standard, which makes it resistant to sweat, dust and rain. Although, no immersion or heavy deluge.

The Shokz Openrun Pro earphones come with a very good, practical protective case. There remains their sound quality. Unfortunately, no surprise, the Shokz Openrun Pro does not compare with the old Bose SoundSport for example. They don’t have the softness, richness in the bass and the definition in the treble necessary to satisfy a music lover. Let’s be clear, it’s not a question of comparing them with a “real” music lover’s headset, but it is clear that the performance is not as good as in-ear earphones. However, for most sports uses, with a exterior sound (other sportsmen, wind, etc.) this Shokz Openrun Pro does the job. Especially since it is wireless, tough, and almost impossible to lose.

The Shokz Openrun Pro Wireless bone conduction headset transducer is extremely convenient for sports use as it is impossible to lose. Comfortable, with convincing ergonomics, it looks after your eardrums. Music lovers will not like it because the sound that isn’t comparable to in-ear earphones.
