Our Verdict
Shokz OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction
Shokz OpenFit Air True Wireless
For most people, the Shokz OpenFit Air True Wireless are a better choice for running outdoors than the Shokz OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction. The OpenFit are more stable on the ear and easier to transport since they don't have a neckband. That said, some runners might find the OpenRun more comfortable. The OpenRun's continuous battery life of 14 hours is also far superior to the 6.5 hours the OpenFit offer, but the OpenFit's case provides an extra three charges, while the OpenRun's doesn't provide any. Annoyingly, the OpenRun use a proprietary cable to charge, unlike the OpenFit, which charge via the USB-C port on their case.
