--- --- Oct 09, 2025 # Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Next-level bone conduction headphones by [Novid Parsi](/author/novid-parsi/) ## Novid Parsi  Courtesy Shokz Bone conduction headphones—which keep the ear canal open so listeners can enjoy music while staying aware of their surroundings—are having a moment. But the trade-off has historically been audio quality, especially bass. Shokz’s OpenRun Pro 2 “solves a long-standing problem of having to compromise either situational awareness or immersive audio,” says Shokz spokesperson Jayme Schwartz. The standout feature is the brand’s new DualPitch technology, which combines bone conduction for crisp mids and highs with air conduction for richer lows. Since launching in August 2024, Shokz has sold 630,000 units in North America and 1.8 million globally. **Buy Now:** Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 on [Amazon](https://amzn.to/46D5PvU "undefined") These are independent reviews of the products mentioned, but TIME receives a commission when purchases are made through affiliate links at no additional cost to the purchaser.
