  • Our take on the Shokz OpenRun

    The Shokz OpenRun is a bone-conduction headphone that sits in front of the ear rather than inside it, so you hear your music and your surroundings at once. It weighs under an ounce, is rated IP67 for sweat and rain, and runs about 8 hours per charge with Bluetooth 5.1 and multipoint pairing. It suits runners and riders who want awareness more than isolation, and it trades bass and detail for that safety against in-ear buds.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Shokz OpenRun good for running?
    Yes. It is light, stays on the head without ear pressure, and the open-ear design lets you hear traffic. The IP67 rating covers sweat and rain.
    How is it different from the OpenRun Pro?
    The Pro adds bass-boosted speakers, a faster charge and a slightly longer battery. The standard OpenRun is lighter and has plainer sound.
    How long does the battery last?
    About 8 hours of playback and up to 240 hours on standby. A full charge takes roughly 1.5 to 2 hours with the included cable.
    Can I use it for calls?
    Yes. It has a microphone and Bluetooth 5.1 with multipoint, so it can stay paired to a phone and a laptop at once.
    Does it block outside noise?
    No. It is open-ear by design, so you hear everything around you. That is the point for outdoor use but a drawback on planes or trains.
    What is in the box?
    The headset, a proprietary magnetic charging cable and a carry pouch. Earplugs are not included.
    Where is the Shokz OpenRun cheapest?
    At Staples, for $129.95, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the Shokz OpenRun?
    Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 5,347 ratings.
