The Shokz OpenRun Pro open-ear sport headphones drop to $100 at Best Buy
Great bone-conduction audio for runners and gym-goers
Shokz OpenRun Pro open-ear sport headphones are now available at Best Buy for $99.99, a $60 discount from their usual price. Designed with athletes in mind, these headphones feature uncovered ears for enhanced awareness of surroundings, making them safer for activities like running compared to noise-canceling alternatives. With around 10 hours of battery life per charge and approximately 90 minutes of listening after just a 5-minute charge, these headphones offer ample power for extended training sessions.
Dual noise-canceling microphones facilitate clear calls, and the companion app offers customizable sound modes, including Standard and Vocal EQ. However, there are some limitations: an IP55 water resistance rating is not suitable for water sports, the SBC codec restricts Bluetooth capabilities, and the magnetic charging port requires Shokz's proprietary cable, which results in less bass compared to in-ear headphones.
Despite these trade-offs, Shokz OpenRun Pro headphones are a suitable choice for outdoor running or gym workouts, provided users can tolerate the aforementioned drawbacks. With the current holiday deal at Best Buy, these open-ear headphones represent a compelling value at $99.99.
