Our Verdict
Jaybird Vista 2 Truly Wireless
Shokz OpenRun Bone Conduction
Depending on your preferences, you may prefer either the Jaybird Vista 2 Truly Wireless or the Shokz OpenRun Bone Conduction. The Shokz are bone conduction headphones, and they produce sound via vibrations. They don't cover your ears at all, allowing you to listen to audio while still allowing you to monitor your surroundings if you're running outdoors. They lack thumpy bass but can reproduce vocals and lead instruments clearly. However, if you're looking to block out background sounds, the Jaybird are in-ears with active noise cancelling. Although they struggle to block out background noise, they can reduce ambient chatter. They also feel better built and have a more stable fit. Their companion app allows you to customize their well-balanced sound to your liking.
