What is the big stinking deal with bone-conduction headphones? Turns out, quite a lot. I got my first pair of shokz many moons ago to wear while exercising after one too many times of being scared poop-less by cars that whiz by while riding my bike. What I discovered was they weren’t just some fancy-schmancy headphones for fitness freaks; they’re a revolution in headphone wear-ables.
Here’s some reasons to consider them if you might be on the fence:
- Keep track of what’s going around you while still listening to your sweet tunes/podcasts/audiobooks
- They’re so light and comfortable you can wear them all day

I wear these all day and I don’t even feel them… charge maybe 3x a week… everyone is shocked by how good they sound… if you want to maintain spatial awareness while listening to tunes or taking phone calls these are for you! …and yes, they fit nicely under a bike helmet.

Battery life is a quoted as a little better but these are only IP55 instead of the IP67 rating of the standard openrun but otherwise the specs are almost exactly the same. Check them out here:
