Shokz brings two open-ear audio technologies together to offer a boost in sound over the original OpenRun Pro. A better battery aims to make the new OpenRun Pro 2 go longer when you go longer too. Shokz doesn\u2019t make sweeping changes compared to the Pro, though \u2013 and in fairness it didn\u2019t need to. They’re not as discreet to wear as something like the Jabra Elite 8 Active<\/a>, but they do tick the key boxes regarding what most people want from a pair of running headphones. They’ve stayed put and don\u2019t jump around, even on faster runs; they didn\u2019t feel heavy to wear on longer, hour-plus runs; and they have a great set of controls to adjust the volume or skip a track on the fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLike the OpenRun Pro, you can grab them in either standard or mini sizes depending on how much you want them to hug around your head, and they offer the same IP55 sweatproof design. That means they\u2019re well equipped to handle splashes of water, whether that\u2019s from beads of sweat or a light rain shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n![\"Close-up](\"https:\/\/mensfitness.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/Shokz-1.jpg?w=1024\")
