If youโre the sort of person who thinks silence is golden, then skip this because Shokz is back with something that will make your ears sing.
Their latest brainchild, the Shokz OpenRun Pro2, isnโt just another pair of headphones; itโs a game-changer, a gadget that will make your usual earbuds feel like they were assembled by cavemen.
Unveiled at the Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) World Series Finalsโyes, the Olympics of trail runningโthis sleek beast is here to blow your eardrums without blocking out the real world.
Now, if youโre familiar with Shokz, you know theyโre all about that open-ear lifestyle. You get your music, your podcasts, your guilty pleasure audiobooks, and you still wonโt miss the sound of a truck hurtling towards you or a fellow runner shouting, โOn your left!โ Safety first, people.
But what sets the Shokz OpenRun Pro2 apart from its ancestors is the juicy new DualPitchโข technology.
This isnโt just tech jargon; itโs the kind of innovation that makes audiophiles weep tears of joy.
Hereโs the skinny: The OpenRun Pro2 uses not one, but two types of speakers. The bone conduction speaker is like the eagle-eyed sniper of sound, hitting the mids and highs with a precision thatโd make a Swiss watch jealous.
Meanwhile, the air conduction speaker is all about that bass, no trebleโokay, a bit of treble, but the kind that shakes your core without drowning out the lyrics.
Together, they create a listening experience thatโs not just clear; itโs practically transcendental. The vibrations from bone conduction are fine-tuned to keep your noggin from feeling like a tuning fork, which is a nice touch.
Leon Du, Shokz’s Europe Market Director, didnโt mince words when he said, โAs a flagship product, weโve perfected the sound quality performance of OpenRun Pro2, which can help consumers to enjoy music better while keeping the ear open.
There is no doubt that OpenRun Pro2 will take open-ear audio to the next level.โ And frankly, after a run with these, youโll believe him.
But Shokz didnโt stop at just making these sound incredible. Theyโre also designed to be as comfy as your favourite worn-in sneakers.
Made from ultra-lightweight, high-strength material, these headphones come with a soft silicone finish that feels like a cloud resting on your ears.
Itโs so light that after a while, you might even forget youโre wearing themโuntil the beat drops, and youโre back in your groove.
Battery life? Oh, itโs got that in spadesโ12 hours of it, to be exact. And if youโre in a rush (arenโt we all?), a 5-minute charge gives you 2.5 hours of playback.
Plus, theyโve thrown in an IP55 water resistance rating, so unless you plan on swimming the English Channel with these, youโre golden.
Did I also mention MultiPoint Pairing? Seamlessly switch between two devices without the hassle. You can jump from a Zoom call on your laptop to your phoneโs playlist without breaking a sweat.
In a nutshell, the Shokz OpenRun Pro2 isnโt just a pair of headphones; itโs an open-ear marvel designed for those who demand more from their gear.
Itโs available now for ยฃ169, and frankly, itโs worth every penny.
