Features:
- DualPitch technology for the best bone conduction sound ever: Shokz's 10th generation bone conduction innovation combines a bone conduction driver delivering precise mids and highs with a dedicated air conduction speaker for deep, controlled bass. This dual-driver architecture produces sound significantly fuller and more musically satisfying than previous Shokz models or any competing open-ear sports headphone.
- Open-ear design keeps you safe and aware on Nairobi's roads: Because the transducers rest on your cheekbones in front of your ears rather than in or over them, your ear canals remain completely open. You hear your music and your environment simultaneously, making it safe to run along Ngong Road, cycle through Westlands, or train on a busy track without losing awareness of traffic, other athletes, or ambient sounds around you.
- 12-hour battery life with quick charge: A full charge delivers 12 hours of continuous playback, covering the longest marathon training runs, full-day cycling events, or an entire day of casual use between charges. Quick charge provides enough power for around 1.5 hours of use from just 5 minutes of charging, which is useful before an early morning run when the battery is unexpectedly low.
- USB-C charging for universal convenience: Unlike the previous OpenRun Pro, which used a proprietary magnetic charging port, the OpenRun Pro 2 charges via standard USB-C. You can use the same charger as your phone, power bank, or laptop, eliminating the need to carry a dedicated Shokz cable on trips and training camps.
- 6 EQ modes for personalised sound: The Shokz App provides 6 preset EQ modes including Volume Boost Mode for noisy environments, Classic Mode for traditional bone conduction purists, Vocal Mode for podcast and audiobook listeners, and Bass Boost Mode for music-focused training sessions. Two additional custom modes allow personal EQ configuration.
- Reduced vibration compared to previous Shokz models: The DualPitch architecture significantly reduces the tactile vibration feedback that some users noticed with older bone conduction headphones. The air conduction driver handles bass frequencies separately, removing the need for the bone conduction transducer to produce low frequencies that cause the most vibration.
- Endorsed by elite runners including Eliud Kipchoge: A Kipchoge co-branded edition is available as part of the OpenRun Pro 2 lineup, reflecting Shokz's longstanding partnership with the world's greatest marathon runner. For Kenyan runners inspired by Kipchoge's performance and training philosophy, wearing the same headphone brand he uses is a meaningful connection to elite running culture.
Who It's For:
- Runners and Marathoners: Designed for Kenyan runners training along Ngong Road, Uhuru Park, or preparing for the Nairobi Marathon and other road races who need music motivation and coaching audio without losing awareness of traffic, other runners, and their surroundings during outdoor training.
- Cyclists and Triathletes: The go-to choice for Kenyan cyclists who need to hear traffic, vehicles overtaking, and road hazards while still enjoying audio during long rides on Nairobi's roads and Kenya's countryside routes, where situational awareness is critical for safety.
- Gym and General Fitness Users: Ideal for gym members, HIIT class participants, and fitness enthusiasts at facilities across Nairobi who want comfortable, secure-fitting audio during workouts without the discomfort of in-ear earbuds during extended training sessions.
Shokz App and EQ Modes:
The Shokz App (iOS and Android) connects to the OpenRun Pro 2 to provide six preset EQ modes and two customisable personal modes. Volume Boost Mode amplifies output for louder environments like busy roads or crowded gyms. Classic Mode disables the air conduction driver for a pure bone conduction experience. Vocal Mode emphasises the mid-range for clearer podcast and audiobook playback. Bass Boost Mode adds extra low frequency emphasis for music focused training. The app allows battery level monitoring, language settings and firmware update management. The headphones are fully functional without the app, but the app unlocks full customization of EQ and settings control.
