Why this model appeals to runners
1. Freedom and security thanks to bone conduction
Unlike in-ear headphones, bone conduction keeps the ears clear, ensuring optimal hearing acuity of the environment —traffic, nearby runners, warning signals, etc. SELF magazine named the OpenRun Pro 2 the best option for runners, highlighting the safety offered by this open design.
2. Comfort for long distances
The OpenRun Pro 2's lightweight, vibration-reducing, and ergonomic design make it virtually impossible to wear them for hours on end—ideal for long runs or marathons. User experience confirms the absence of ear fatigue and excellent fit, even during intense exercise.
3. Powerful and balanced sound to motivate your stride
DualPitch™ technology delivers clear, bass-rich, and balanced sound—perfect for keeping pace and motivation on the road or trail. A variety of EQ modes allow you to tailor the experience to suit your terrain or musical preferences.
4. Robustness and autonomy in the service of performance
With 12 hours of battery life and ultra-fast charging, you're ready for long rides. IP55 protection from the elements and sweat, and USB-C makes charging easy, even on the go.
5. Clear calls, even while racing
Thanks to AI microphones and ambient noise reduction (96.5%), you can easily answer your calls or voice instructions (GPS, coach, etc.), even in wind or urban noise.
Bone conduction: safety and sound innovation
Safety: By leaving your ears free, bone conduction ensures awareness of your immediate surroundings, which is essential outdoors (cars, cyclists, obstacles). The improved safety of this technology has been recognized in several comparative tests.
Sound Technology : With DualPitch™ , Shokz pushes the limits of bone conduction. By dissociating the bass to an air transducer, annoying vibrations are minimized while delivering powerful and immersive sound. The result is balanced 3D sound, without compromise.
Technical characteristics
The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 is the ultimate sports headset from Shokz, combining innovation and practicality. Here are its key features:
-
DualPitch™ Technology : This technology is based on a perfect duo between a bone conduction speaker and an air conduction speaker. The former specifically treats mids and highs with total precision, while the latter generates ultra-powerful bass.
-
Exceptional auditory immersion : OpenRun Pro 2's custom algorithm assigns each sound element to dedicated speakers, creating a balanced, dynamic, and immersive 3D sound field. To ensure every note sounds amazing, DRC technology eliminates distortion even at maximum volume.
-
Private listening without leakage : The OpenRun Pro 2's bone conduction speaker adopts a design with components encased in a protective metal compartment and an acoustic leakage equalization adjustment algorithm to effectively control sound leakage. In addition, DirectPitch™ technology minimizes leakage from the air conduction speaker for completely private listening. With the separate design of the speakers to ensure independent functionality, your audio remains reserved for your ears.
