Headphone category designed for safe, open-ear listening with stable fit and clear calls. Enjoy music and awareness during runs or gym sessions with SHOKZ OpenRun Bone Conduction Headphones. Will the combination of bone conduction sound and long battery life suit daily training and remote calls?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Sound Signature: Balanced mids with emphasised low end and clear treble via PremiumPitch 2.0+
  • Best for: Runners, cyclists and gym-goers who need situational awareness while listening
  • Not ideal for: Users who prefer full in-ear isolation or extreme bass-heavy listening

Open-ear bone conduction transmits sound through the cheekbones while leaving ear canals open. PremiumPitch 2.0+ aims to deliver stereo audio with IP67 water resistance and an eight-hour playtime.


Stay Aware Outdoors - with open-ear bone conduction design

Bone conduction transmits audio vibrations through the cheekbones rather than sending sound into the ear canal, keeping ears unobstructed. The ergonomic Sport headband secures the transducers in front of the ears for consistent contact during movement.

Maintain awareness of traffic and surroundings while listening, ideal for outdoor running and cycling. Stable fit reduces the need for frequent adjustments during workouts.

Clear Calls on the Move - thanks to dual mics and CVC noise reduction

Two microphones combined with a CVC algorithm separate voice from ambient noise, while a Qualcomm Bluetooth 5.1 chipset manages a steady wireless connection. Bluetooth 5.1 reduces dropouts and supports reliable call transmission during activity.

Make and receive calls on runs or at the gym with clearer voice capture and fewer interruptions. Suitable for remote work calls when mobility is required.

All-Day Training Reliability - with 8-hour battery and quick charge

Eight hours of playtime handles multiple training sessions, and a rapid 10-minute USB-C charge adds approximately 1.5 hours of use. IP67 water resistance protects against sweat, splashes and rain for outdoor durability.

Complete long workouts or back-to-back sessions without frequent recharging, and get a useful boost from a short top-up. Water-resistant build reduces worry over sweat or light showers.
