There are plenty of earbuds and headphones that work well for runners, but if you want to stay safe, picking a pair of bone conducting earbuds is the best choice. Bone conduction technology delivers sound by transmitting subtle vibrations through the bones in your skull rather than channeling it through your ear canal. These vibrations travel straight to the inner ear, so you can listen to music while still keeping your ears clear to hear what’s going on around you.
And as of April 30, you can get a great deal on the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2, currently priced at $139.95 at Amazon ($40 off). Choose from several colors, including black, blue, orange, and silver.
Like the name suggests, these headphones are built for active use, specifically running. They have a secure fit thanks to a flexible Ni-Ti alloy frame and ergonomic ear hooks that stay in place during runs, high intensity workouts, or cycling. You’ll also get up to 12 hours of battery life, so for runs long and short sessions, you’ll have enough juice for your playlist.
This Shokz deal is available at Amazon now.
