My favorite Shokz open-ear headphones are $60 off
I freakin’ love bone conduction headphones, which keep my ears open so I stay alert to traffic while I’m walking, or bears while I’m kayaking, or far more frequently, fellow shoppers when I’m stomping around the grocery store. Today Shokz’ newest, most advanced design, the OpenRun Pro 2, is $60 off at Best Buy. That brings the final price down to $119.99. This blue-and-gray colorway is actually a Best Buy exclusive, but lacks any kind of branding (aside from, well, Shokz), so I don’t feel weird wearing it. I’ve been using the OpenRun Pro 2 for the better part of a year. I love the clearer mids and deeper bass than my previous, cheaper pair, and unlike some other bone conduction headphones, these recharge via USB-C so you don’t need to pack a separate cable. They’ll pair with multiple Bluetooth devices at once, just like all modern headphones. They also last a lot longer than some previous designs at 12 hours, and combined with a sleek, lightweight body and some water resistance, they’re great for workouts. I’ve dunked mine in Lake Wallenpaupack and the Delaware River (not exactly intentionally, ahem), and they’ve survived to tell me more audiobook tales. Best Buy is selling this exclusive color both on its own site and via its eBay account. I’d hop on it quickly, these headphones are popular, and this discounted blue-and-gray set might not last long.
