Open-Ear Dual-Driver Sport Headphones
SHOKZ OpenRun Pro 2 is a black, standard-size open-ear sport headset with a wraparound neckband and DualPitch bone- and air-conduction audio. Shokz rates it for up to 12 hours of listening and IP55 water resistance.
Why We Found It
For a run or workout where an in-ear seal is not your preference, the ear-hook design leaves the ear canals open. DualPitch combines two conduction methods in one headset, while the behind-the-head band keeps the earpieces connected without a cable between your phone and headphones.

Check Shokz's fit guide before ordering Standard if your behind-the-head measurement is close to the Standard/Mini boundary.

Things to Know Before Buying
Open ears are not a safety system: this design does not guarantee that you will hear traffic or other hazards. Keep your attention on your surroundings and follow applicable rules when cycling or driving. IP55 is a water-resistance rating, not permission to swim or submerge the headset. The exact bundle contents should be confirmed on the selected offer if the case, cable or reflective accessories matter to your purchase.
Best For / Not Ideal For
Best for listeners who want a connected, open-ear headset for running or workouts and are comfortable with a behind-the-head band. Not ideal if you need noise isolation, a waterproof swimming headset, or an assurance that environmental sounds will always be audible.
