When it comes to working out or just hanging outside, the perks of bone conduction headphones versus over-ear headphones or earbuds are growing. They’ve always been the safer alternative since they don’t obstruct your hearing, but with the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2, they now actually sound good. Thanks to its USB-C charging (in place of the proprietary charger that its predecessor used), more bass, fewer audible vibrations, and AI-powered noise cancellation, it’s easier than ever to recommend them to more people — especially since they’re $30 off during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale.
The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 are worth their full price, but are more tempting at $30 off
Enhanced bass, USB-C charging, and other perks make these a must-buy for outdoor activities.

Shokz’ best bone conduction headphones yet, with more booming bass than its predecessor. Our reviewer Victoria Song praised their cozy fit as well as their USB-C charging (goodbye, proprietary charger!). Read our review.
Shokz has given the OpenRun Pro 2 a small, but welcome 17 percent discount, making them $149.95 in either the black or silver color schemes at Amazon. If you want the orange color, you’ll have to head to B&H Photo or Shokz’ official site. Even though this model has been available since August 2024, this is the first time it’s been discounted.
