Our Verdict
Shokz OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction
Sony Float Run Wireless
Both the Sony Float Run Wireless and Shokz OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction are designed to leave your ears open. For exercise, the Shokz are slightly better and more durable with dust resistance and a titanium frame. The Shokz use bone conduction to deliver audio and come in two sizes for finding your best fit. They lack bass but work well for vocals and lead parts, with a bigger passive soundstage. Unlike the Sony, they have a sturdy case. Their battery life is longer, but they use a proprietary charging cable. Sony's one-size-fits-most headphones use dynamic drivers so that you won't feel vibrations, and they lack bass but sound clear through the mids and treble. They use a standard USB-C charging port.
