Our Verdict
Shokz OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction
Shokz OpenRun Bone Conduction
The Shokz OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction are the upgraded variant of the Shokz OpenRun Bone Conduction. While both headphones are comfortable, the Pro come with a better hard case to protect the headphones when you're not using them. They also reproduce a bit more bass, though it's likely not enough if you like thumpy genres like EDM and hip-hop. That said, their companion app offers a couple of EQ presets to help you adjust their sound. The original OpenRun have a higher IP67 rating for dust and water resistance.

How dare you give the Q45 comfort higher than the XM5 ? I had the Q45 the pain it caused me is the most pain I ever had from a headset in my life ! and the noise handling really you equal it to the XM5 I had both they can`t even be close to each other !
