Introduction
Shokz has always believed that everyone should be able to enjoy their music without being isolated from their surroundings. Traditional headphones often block out ambient sounds while also compromising on comfort, especially during workouts. But that’s exactly why Shokz is continually improving the sound quality of our open-ear headphones, to ensure you can enjoy immersive music without sacrificing comfort or awareness of your surroundings. And this is also why we created the OpenRun Pro 2, the new flagship open-ear sports headphones from Shokz.
Introducing Shokz OpenRun Pro 2
Featuring 10th generation Bone Conduction Technology and DualPitch™ Technology, the OpenRun Pro 2 delivers layered, crisp, and powerful sound with less vibration than ever before. It also offers up to 12 hours of battery life and a secure fit to redefine the way you think of audio and sports. This groundbreaking device offers unparalleled comfort, helps you prioritize safety, and delivers exceptional sound quality. In this article, we’ll take an in-depth look at some of the standout features of these new sports headphones.
Groundbreaking Audio with DualPitch™ Technology
Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 redefines open-ear audio with DualPitch™ Technology, a groundbreaking innovation that delivers open-ear sound, unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. By combining bone conduction for crisp, clear mids and highs with air conduction for powerful bass, Shokz has created a sound profile that is both dynamic and balanced. The result is an audio experience that is more immersive and life-like than ever before. Whether you're a seasoned ultramarathon runner, mountain biking somewhere new, or simply going on a morning hike, with the OpenRun Pro 2’s DualPitch™ Technology, you can enjoy every nuance of your music, from the subtle harmonies to powerful bass.
Understanding Open-Ear Tech
DualPitch™ Technology combines Bone Conduction Technology with Air Conduction Technology, enabling us to make tremendous strides when it comes to the overall sound quality of open-ear headphones. Here’s a detailed look at how these technologies function.
High-Sensitivity Bone Conduction Driver
The OpenRun Pro 2 incorporates a high-sensitivity bone conduction driver dedicated to delivering clear high frequencies and accurate midranges. This advanced driver technology effectively transmits sound vibrations through the cheekbone, delivering a clear and natural open-ear listening experience.
We equipped the OpenRun Pro 2 with an innovative dual reed and coil design to enhance audio quality and minimize distortion. This technology stabilizes the vibration system, resulting in pure vocals and improved overall sound performance. By reducing these vibrations, the OpenRun Pro 2 ensures you can enjoy all the benefits of Bone Conduction Tech with even fewer distractions.
Powerful Bass with Air Conduction Technology
The OpenRun Pro 2 delivers impressive bass performance thanks to its 18mm*11mm low-frequency air conduction driver. This advanced driver incorporates a lightweight dome-shaped diaphragm and a patterned PU material ring to produce powerful and accurate bass without compromising overall sound quality. From the pulsating rhythms of electronic dance music to the resounding beats of jazz and reggae, the OpenRun Pro 2 delivers bass that you can feel. The air conduction technology allows you to experience the music on a whole new level, motivating you during the toughest workout. Now, you can experience deeper, richer bass tones than ever before.
Enhanced Comfort with Minimized Vibration
Previous bone conduction headphones often produced noticeable vibrations, which could be uncomfortable and distracting for some users, especially during long listening sessions. Shokz's innovative DualPitch™ Technology addresses this issue by assigning low frequencies to the air conduction driver, generating minimal vibrations for a more comfortable listening experience. This reduction in tactile feedback enhances your overall enjoyment of the OpenRun Pro 2, allowing you to focus on the music without distractions. With DualPitch™, you can experience the benefits of bone conduction without the discomfort of intense vibrations.
Signature Open-Ear Design Audio Without Limits
Shokz is well known for its signature open-ear headphone design, a feature that sets us apart. Where traditional headphones block out external sounds, OpenRun Pro 2 keeps you connected to your environment. This unique and practical listening experience is ideal for outdoor runners, cyclists, and other fitness enthusiasts since it helps them stay aware of everything around them. If you’re running on busy city streets, it’s important to be able to hear car horns and pedestrians around you. Or when hiking in the woods, it’s great to listen to your music while still being able to identify bird calls.
With the OpenRun Pro 2, you can stay alert to your surroundings while listening to your playlists or podcasts regardless of whether you're crossing a busy street or hiking an isolated trail.
Super Stable Fit for Every Move
A stable fit is super important for headphones, especially during intense physical activities like mountain biking or rock climbing. When headphones shift or fall out during workouts, it not only disrupts the listening experience but can also be a safety hazard. The OpenRun Pro 2 addresses this issue with a design engineered for unshakeable stability.
Crafted with ergonomic ear hooks and a unibody frame, the OpenRun Pro 2 delivers a highly secure fit. The ear hooks are strategically placed to provide optimal support and stability, while the unibody frame ensures a seamless and consistent fit. This combination of design elements results in a headphone that stays snugly in place, no matter how intense your workout.
This structure is complemented by a weight-optimized frame, ensuring the headphones remain comfortably in place without causing you to feel any discomfort. Additionally, the integrated Ni-Ti alloy memory wire provides an adjustable clamping force, guaranteeing a snug fit without the uncomfortable pressure points.
Comfort for All-Day Wear
Extended training sessions mean extended wearing sessions. The OpenRun Pro 2 is designed to keep you comfortable, no matter how long you're wearing it. With this lightweight and secure fit, you can enjoy extended wearing sessions without discomfort or distraction.
Thanks to ultra-lightweight, high-strength materials, and a soft silicone coating, the OpenRun Pro 2 delivers a comfortable fit that feels weightless on your head. Unlike traditional headphones that can cause ear fatigue or pressure points, the OpenRun Pro 2's open-ear design ensures your ears remain stress-free. In fact, it’s so comfortable that you might even forget you're wearing headphones at all.
Plus, we know that different people have different head sizes. So, to accommodate a wider range of users, Shokz offers both standard and mini sizes, ensuring everyone can enjoy the right fit for optimal comfort.
Conclusion
The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 redefines the open-ear headphone experience, delivering exceptional sound quality, comfort, and functionality. With its cutting-edge DualPitch™ Technology, you'll enjoy rich bass, clear vocals, and minimized vibrations. The secure and comfortable fit ensures uninterrupted listening for everything from working out in the gym to taking on a new ultramarathon trail.
By crafting a headphone design that’s focused on your safety and awareness, the OpenRun Pro 2 offers a unique listening experience that allows you to stay connected to your surroundings while immersing yourself in your music.
