Our Verdict

Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless

Shokz OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction

The Apple AirPods Pro are more versatile headphones than the Shokz OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction. The Apple are in-ears, are better built, have higher total battery life, and have active noise cancelling, which blocks out a great amount of ambient noise around you. They also have an H1 chip for seamless pairing with your other Apple devices. However, you may prefer the Shokz if you want to stay aware of your surroundings while still hearing audio. They're bone conduction headphones that send vibrations along your cheekbone to your ears. While they don't block out background noise, they have a longer continuous battery life and support multi-device pairing so that you can stay connected to your PC and smartphone at the same time.
