If you can’t run without your favorite tunes but still want to stay safe and hear the cheers on race day, I highly recommend bone conduction headphones.
With Amazon Prime Day just around the corner, some deals are already starting to appear like these Shokz OpenRun that are currently 23% off, bringing the price down to under $100.
I wore a pair of Shokz bone conduction headphones during my first marathon and nothing compares to running 26.2 miles to the sounds of ABBA’s Greatest Hits while soaking up the cheers from the roaring Manchester crowds.
That’s the magic of bone conduction technology: These headphones sit just in front of your ears and send sound through your cheekbones, so you can enjoy your music and still stay aware of what’s happening around you.
The Shokz OpenRun headphones do exactly that. They have an open-ear design that sits comfortably without plugging your ears, and the lightweight wraparound frame stays put no matter how far you run. They’re waterproof and sweatproof, so no worries about a rainy day or a tough workout. You’ll get up to eight hours of music and calls, plus a quick charge if you forget to plug them in.
For folks concerned about safety, like me, they're a must-buy. I always share my location with a friend, plan a route that’s well lit and safe, and try not to block out my surroundings with regular headphones. That’s why I love bone conduction headphones, they let me listen to my playlist or a podcast and still hear what’s happening around me.
