The OpenRun Pro are the best-sounding bone conduction headphones we've tested, and mean you no longer need to make big compromises on audio quality if you want to opt for an open-ear headset. They also boast an impressive quick charge function that delivers an hour and a half of playback after just five minutes of charging, while a full charge will keep them going for up to 10 hours. The downside of the upgraded hardware is that they now vibrate more noticeably against your skin. If you can tolerate that tickle though, they're easy to recommend.

The Shokz OpenRun Pro are really well designed bone conduction headphones that offer a light, secure and comfortable fit and a sound profile that arguably delivers better on the clarity front than it does on that promised bass and power. Battery life is roughly on par with other bone conduction headphones at this price, but should cover you for a week's worth of use on average. /39363775/PL_Injected3_300X250_Desktop googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1494450502098-ccr-REPEAT6'); });
