I ran a MARATHON wearing SHOKZ OPENRUN PRO Bone Conduction Headphones and this is what I thought...

Shokz OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction Headphones Review, whilst wearing them during the Brighton Marathon 2022. These are the top of the range of Shokz Bone Conduction Headphones but are they any good for runners?

[@fjfjrfjfjr]

Thank you Sir! 😀

[@madzieniza5812]

got one today and I love it! 😍

[@ian_runs]

shokz are great they come with me on run and race. fully agree with you Chris. you can get the full benefit of the crowd cheering even when listening to music

[@michaelbennett6778]

I used my aeropex at Brighton on Sunday too Chris. Very useful in the last section dealing with pain, distraction and mental motivation!

[@HereWeAreRunning]

Really helps to get through to the finish line, doesn't it Michael but at the same time you can still hear all the crowds cheering. Double motivation!

[@pennyrusbridge5725]

Great video Chris. At the moment I am quite happy with the aeropex will be using them when I do Stratford marathon in a couple of week's time

[@HereWeAreRunning]

Thanks Penny. Good luck with the Stafford Marathon and I'm sure your Aeropex will be a great help.

[@pennyrusbridge5725]

@@HereWeAreRunning I have run Stratford twice before I know that it is two laps and not much support on one particular bit so having the headphones will be a great help

[@TheBramptonValleyRunner]

@@pennyrusbridge5725 I agree the 2nd lap is dead quiet as most people only do the half so good idea to have them after you split off from the half marathon race 👍🏻

[@pennyrusbridge5725]

@@TheBramptonValleyRunner yep plan to

[@marisvelpalmer3824]

Did you hear your split time due to your watch capability or is this available with all shokz regardless of your running watch?

[@marklanghorn9220]

I agree with you Chris - I regret not wearing mine on Sunday especially when I hit the later miles :( Would you say it is worth upgrading from aeropex?

[@HereWeAreRunning]

Personally, if you are happy with the Aeropex, I'd only upgrade if you just want the best bone conduction headphones that money can buy, or if the improved battery life is really important to you.

[@user-eb5ri3nf9d]

After finishing an activity can the open run pro be rinsed under a water tap?

[@DanRuns]

I’ve never used Shokz but it sounds like they’re worth looking into! I’d be more concerned that my phone would die or battery would drain from use

[@HereWeAreRunning]

Don't think you need to worry too much about that. Screen usage is the main thing that'll run down the phone battery. Latest Bluetooth version are light on battery usage. So if your phone is just playing music or a podcast it should last a long time. The headphones will last 10 hours of listening time.

[@BenNotley]

Can't beat a good pair of shokz 😎🤘🏻

[@HereWeAreRunning]

Yes indeed 🎧👍😍

[@MrCol104]

Not a big fan of music at a big marathon but I accept it’s all personal taste. How much did they cost. I bet they weren’t cheap.

[@HereWeAreRunning]

This model retails for £159.59. The OpenRun ard £129.95.

[@samdurrant120]

I've still got the Titaniums, but they seem to do the job no issue... do you think it's worth the upgrade? :)

[@HereWeAreRunning]

I had the Titaniums for several years but upgrading to either the OpenRun or OpenRun Pro, I definitely noticed the improved sound quality and also a big improvement on fit and comfort.

[@user-gp1bt4vm3r]

I have the Titanium, the Aeropex, and the Openrun Pro. If you're coming straight from the Titanium, without question, it's well worth the upgrade. If you have the Aeropex, that's a different story. While, there is a noticeable difference between Aeropex and the Pro's in sound quality, it's not to a really big extent. But from Titanium's to the Pro's, BIG difference in sound, and especially, comfort.

[@HereWeAreRunning]

@@user-gp1bt4vm3r Spot on 👍

[@andrewjackson5868]

Where was the podcast/music coming from? Wasn’t it a bit of a faff to start/stop/change what was playing mid race?

[@HereWeAreRunning]

I use Spotify on my phone. The phone was in a running belt, on my front, so easy to take out and quickly put the podcast/music on, then slip the phone back in.

[@BradleySingerRuns]

i used to use them and dont get me wrong they are fab but i felt that the battery (of a different model wasn't great. i moved over to the apple air pods pro and that i wouldn't fault.

[@HereWeAreRunning]

The battery on the OpenRun and OpenRun Pro is much improved. Ten hours of listening time on the OpenRun Pro with only 1 hour to fully charge it is pretty good. Air Pod Pro's definitely have better sound quality but depends whether you turn transparency mode on and for transparency mode still isn't as safe as having the ear canals open.

[@BradleySingerRuns]

@@HereWeAreRunning i constantly have them on transparency mode when i am out running. this is the only reason why i went for the Pros and not the other version of the Air pods.

[@ohadina]

What about the size ? Standard or mini? Is it really matter? Thabk you

[@HereWeAreRunning]

I'd say standard is best for most, unless you have a fairly small head.

[@ohadina]

@@HereWeAreRunning thank you

[@thekernowrunner3752]

If honest build quantity not great .mine barely last a year... bit i use them alot...swings and rounabout.not used these on test only the openmove

[@HereWeAreRunning]

The OpenMove are quite a bit different in terms of materials used but if they do break, there is a 2 year warranty.

[@gdkmouse]

How much are they rrp?

[@HereWeAreRunning]

£159.95 or in dollars or euros it was on the screen towards yhe end of the video. However, they have a 10% off Easter sale taking place for the next few days.

[@cathynewyork7918]

I don't agree with you guys -- I think running with headphones and music "dilutes" the focus on the marathon itself, thus "weakens" the entire race experience. I run my marathons with no music -- only listening to the spectator cheers or the birds or other sounds.

[@TheBramptonValleyRunner]

I can take it or leave it these days, I remember years ago if I didn’t have music or a podcast to listen to on a run it would bother me, now I don’t care either way, it’s def good in races to go without and soak up the atmosphere 👍🏻

[@cathynewyork7918]

@@TheBramptonValleyRunner Thank you for your comment! Yes, to soak up the atmosphere without the music or tech -- I feel the same way. Thank you.

[@HereWeAreRunning]

I'd definitely agree if I was using the podcast or music to block out the surrounding sounds but with bone conduction headphones I hear everything going on around me, all the crowds cheering but also I can listen to something (podcast/music) which for me, helps to get me through ghe tougher sections of the race. But it's a personal choice and not everyone's thing, although does seem to be becoming more popular.

[@cathynewyork7918]

@@HereWeAreRunning That's great if you enjoy it, Chris, and I did watch your video about the headphones ... it's just NOT for me. I run the New York City Marathon and it is so special I don't want to miss any of it by being "distracted" with music, and I also go north to run trails, and want to hear the birds and flowing creeks.
