About this deal

There’s no charging case, so you'll always need to recharge using the included USB cable, but this longevity batters most true wireless earbuds on a per-charge basis. Even the JLab Epic Air Sport ANC, one of the longest-lasting we’ve tested, can’t match up — though in fairness that has the added drain of active noise cancellation. Shokz OpenRun review: Call quality and connectivity They’re bendy and flexible and haven’t come a cropper when flung into a bag with a camera and books for company. Their IP55 rating is both sweat and water resistant as well as offering some low protection against dust. That doesn’t mean the Mini is waterproof, but a wipe down in case they get dirty should be fine. OpenRun is now available as OpenRun Mini so that runners with smaller heads can also experience the secure fit, maximum comfort, and open-ear listening of OpenRun. OpenRun Mini has a snug fit, with a half-inch shorter band to bring the headphones closer to your head and limit movement as you run. Smaller size and comfortable fit Whether all this is a dealbreaker depends on what exactly you want from your headphones. If you want something general-purpose, with some fitness capability on the side, there are dozens of better-sounding alternatives. If, however, you need a pair that won’t hurt your spatial awareness when out on runs or bike rides, the OpenRun sounds good enough to seriously compete with halfway-there models like the Bose Sport Open Earbuds. Shokz OpenRun review: Features If your measurement is 9.25 inches (23.49 centimeters) or less - OpenRun Mini Size Designed for running

Measure your head between the mid-point behind your left ear and the midpoint behind your right ear. This follows the line of where the band goes. An IP67 rating means they are completely sweating and waterproof. They are totally reliable no matter how intense your workout or how extreme the weather. A moisture detection alert ensures safe charging. Open ear bone conduction headphones for running Push the volume up too much and the Shokz OpenRun Pro Mini can sound strained as vocals sound hoary, and the same can be said about the midrange too. There’s no companion app for the OpenRun, and in truth it doesn’t really have any bonus features beyond the waterproofing and digital assistant support. Shokz quotes 10 hours of battery and that seems about right from my tests. There were a few discrepancies at first, as using the OpenRun Pro Mini for 90 minutes at about 60% volume saw them drop from 60% to 57%. Using the headphones for two hours on another occasion saw them drop 20%, which seemed more indicative of their performance. Five minutes of charging provides another 90 minutes on the go.The OpenRun also provide a “Moisture Detected Alert”: When connected to the charging cable, they can sense if there’s any moisture around the cable connectors. If you haven’t dried them properly, the OpenRun will simultaneously beep, flash a red and blue warning LED and continuously vibrate. It’s a thoughtful touch, and could help prevent accidental damage down the line. Shokz OpenRun review: Battery life Open ear listening means you can hear the ambient noise of the world around you, frees you from ear pain or pressure, and is cleaner and more hygienic. Shokz bone conduction running headphones are perfect for those who like to listen to music while they train but don’t want to cut themselves off from their surroundings. Securely hold the cable or measuring tape so that you can see the measurement when you lift it away from your head. If you’re using a cable, straighten the cable and measure it with a ruler. You don’t need to open the app to adjust the EQ as that can be done by holding both volume buttons until you hear a beep, and Audrey (the voice of the headphones) instructs which mode the headphones are in. With a choice of Vocal and Standard your choices are limited, but Voice is decent enough, amplifying voices without greatly distorting music too much, though its main intention is for audiobooks and podcasts.

If you have a smaller head size you may have struggled to find running headphones with a secure fit or find comfortable headphones for your long runs – not anymore! Shokz has the solution with the OpenRun Mini, specifically designed to fit smaller heads better.The Shokz OpenRun sound good for a pair of bone conduction headphones and uses PremiumPitch 2.0+. This means the transducers are angled at a more ergonomic angle against the cheekbones relative to headsets without this tech. You also get louder volume and bass outputs and minimized vibration intensity. Even with PremiumPitch 2.0+, the OpenRun have a frequency response that reproduces virtually no sub-bass due to the fit. You’ll still hear bass, midrange, and treble, but this skull-vibrating headset won’t satisfy bass heads. Lows, mids, and highs Whether you choose OpenRun or OpenRun Mini bone-conduction headphones will soon become your favorite training partner!
