Shokz, a “pioneer in bone conduction audio technology,” today unveils its new Open Run Pro 2 sports and workout headphones. Featuring the same around-the-neck/head design we’ve seen from the brand in the past, they leverage their latest advancements in open-ear audio technology to deliver “an unparalleled combination of superior sound quality, comfort, and versatility” using proprietary dual-driver units. Read on below to find out exactly what that means, if you don’t already know.
Shokz Open Run Pro 2 Open Ear Bone and Air Headphones
Shokz is a brand focused on providing runners and athletes with the very best in wearable audio technology. It’s not just about the same noise cancellation we’ve seen from every other brand, but the comfort and quality that their proprietary DualPitch technology provides when wearing and listening.
The new Open Run Pro 2 offer an open-ear feel – the earbuds or earpieces float just above the ear without going right in. They feature decoupled bone conduction and air conduction dual driver units “that eliminate vibration and ensure precise mids and highs as well as deep, controlled bass.” The brand specifically emphasizes that they “are similar to the audio quality of the AirPods 3.”
The “feather-light fit” is specifically designed for running, hiking and other high-intensity workouts or sports activities and features a design that “reduces clamping force by 16%.”
Unlike other open-ear headphones, the brand also relies on AI-powered noise cancellation and wind-resistant microphones to help you stay focused, hear your calls clearly, and still be aware of your surroundings:
…modern AI noise reduction algorithms that filter out 96.5% of background noise. Strategically placed dual microphones ensure crystal clear voice recording, even in winds of up to 25 km/h.
Added to this are the color combinations black and orange as well as a battery life of 12 hours and water resistance according to IP55 with a “double-layer mesh structure and a nanohydrophobic coating that makes it water and sweat resistant.”
The new Shokz Open Run Pro 2 open-ear headphones with bone and air channel are now available at 179,99 €.
