Our Verdict

Shokz OpenRun Bone Conduction

Shokz OpenFit True Wireless

The Shokz OpenRun Bone Conduction and the Shokz OpenFit True Wireless are sporty headphones with differing forms of sound reproduction. The OpenRun use vibrations on your bones to produce sound and have a headband, making them a bit bulkier than their truly wireless counterpart. Their IP rating is different, too, and they can survive water immersion, which can be handy if you want to run in the rain. They also have a longer continuous playback time, and you can pair them with up to two devices simultaneously. On the flip side, the OpenFit sit just outside your ear canal and use speakers to play your audio. They have a more stable fit, deliver more bass, and are customizable, thanks to their companion app support.
