The Shokz OpenRun Pro is designed and manufactured in such a way that the sound is not passed on to the brain through the ears. These devices pass on vibrations through the skull and jaw. Thus, these phones are ideal for outdoor workouts, though they may not be ideal for a trip on a flight or a subway.
As a company, Shokz, which was earlier known as AfterShokz, makes headphones based on bone conduction technology. The new model is the Shokz Open Run Pro.
The Shokz has a nice packaging and it comes with a USB-C cable. Shokz will easily fit in the space allotted for it on its carrying case, which is stuffed with padding. The carrying case’s zipper slides smoothly.

Shokz has named its bone conduction technology thus: Shokz TurboPitch. To provide premium audio, it also offers two additional bass enhancers. Though Shokz does not open its audio waves directly to the ear, the sound quality is excellent. But you may need to up the audio a bit more than earbuds and other headphones.

The button for multi-function lets you pause, answer a call, hang up or start the audio again depending on your need. There is an option to make phone calls while the headphones are on, but people on the other side may not get the requisite clarity.
