If you’re looking to pick up a pair of open-ear headphones for yourself — or your mom — Shokz is running a Mother’s Day sale. Now through May 10th, the company’s best pair of bone conduction headphones, the Open Run Pro 2, are available from Amazon, Best Buy, and Shokz for around
While traditional headphones tend to block out the world, open-style headphones provide a safer alternative, letting you listen to music and podcasts while remaining vigilant. After testing the Open Run Pro 2, The Verge’s Victoria Song said using them felt “like the stars finally aligning.” Unlike many open-ear headphones, they don’t skimp on bass or clarity thanks to a dedicated air conduction speaker, though they still won’t rival a traditional pair of in-ears when it comes to sound quality. Still, they’re more comfortable than earlier Shokz models, with flexible ear hooks and a lightweight neckband that creates a secure, natural fit, even for those who wear glasses.

The fact that the Pro 2 vibrate significantly less than other models is another highlight, as is battery life. They offer up to 12 hours on a single charge, which was enough for us to go nearly a week without plugging them in (they charge incredibly fast via USB-C, too). They also include AI-powered noise cancellation for calls (though results were mixed in our testing) and an IP55 rating, making them well-suited for both sweaty workouts and outdoor use.
The Open Fit 2 Plus are nearly identical to the Open Fit 2 we tested in June. The wireless earbuds feature the same open-style design, a set of onboard controls, and dedicated bass speakers, but they also support wireless charging and Dolby Audio.
The standard Open Run are a lighter option than the newer Open Run Pro 2, with a streamlined wraparound design, up to eight hours of battery life, and an IP67 rating for better water resistance. However, they don’t offer the same bass performance or USB-C charging.
