For years, Shokz has been the gold standard for running headphones worldwide. From weekend hobbyists to elite athletes, our bone conduction technology has accompanied millions through countless miles, sweaty workouts, and personal bests.
Today, the legend returns. We're thrilled to introduce the Shokz OpenRun Air 2—the next generation of our classic bone conduction sports headphones, OpenRun. Built with the same pure sports DNA, OpenRun Air 2 carries forward the heritage you love while introducing next-generation performance upgrades, making it one of the comfiest wireless headphones for your daily training.
The legacy of comfort: Keeping the "Classic DNA"
OpenRun Air 2 is built on a foundation of proven comfort. Rather than changing what already worked, we focused on perfecting it—preserving the featherlight DNA that made its predecessor a favourite while refining the design for an even better everyday experience.
① Open-ear bone conduction design for road safety
Powered by Shokz Bone Conduction Technology, OpenRun Air 2 delivers open-ear listening that helps you stay aware of your surroundings for greater road safety. Say goodbye to ear soreness, hygiene concerns, and inner-ear pressure. By leaving your ear canals completely open, your ears stay fresh, dry, and comfortable whether you're enjoying a light jogging session around the neighbourhood or completing a home running workout on the treadmill.
② Lightweight comfort
Instead of making an already lightweight frame even lighter, we focused on ergonomics. OpenRun Air 2 is over 9% smaller than its predecessor, featuring a slimmer profile and an optimised centre of gravity. The result is a barely-there feel. We've preserved the lightweight design while refining the weight distribution so naturally that you'll put them on and quickly forget they're there.
While we kept the classic comfort untouched, we completely overhauled the performance. Here's how OpenRun Air 2 elevates your workout experience.
1. Locks in ear: Secure fit for every move
Although the weight remains the same, stability has reached a whole new level.
Engineered with a forward-shifted centre of gravity, the redesigned unibody neckband minimises bounce, allowing you to run, jump, and turn with complete confidence. The durable memory alloy ear hooks contour naturally to your ears for a secure fit. No matter how intense your interval training gets or how hard you push during a high-speed tempo run, it locks in ear with a reliable, secure fit that stays firmly in place.
2. Advanced audio: Balanced sound with PremiumPitch™ 3.0
Who says open ear headphones can't deliver impressive audio? Powered by PremiumPitch™ 3.0, OpenRun Air 2 features an upgraded bone conduction driver with an all-metal, dual-coil, dual-reed structure. This advanced architecture enhances bass while bringing greater detail to vocals, delivering balanced sound with deep bass, smooth mids, and crisp highs that perfectly match your running tempo.
3. More miles, less worry: 10-hour battery life & quick charge
Never get caught with a flat battery before a run. OpenRun Air 2 delivers up to 10 hours of playback on a single charge—a 25% improvement over its predecessor. Running low? A quick 5-minute charge provides up to 2 hours of playback, so your running headphones are ready to go in the time it takes to tie your shoes.
4. Train in any weather: IP67 dust & water resistance
Whether you're caught in a sudden downpour during a muddy trail running session, pushing through a sweaty indoor workout, or rinsing them under the tap after a long day, the IP67-rated protection has you covered. OpenRun Air 2 is dustproof, sweat-resistant, and built to handle your toughest training days. (Note: Not intended for swimming.)
5. Clear calls, even when windy
Running or cycling shouldn't mean putting conversations on hold. The optimised dual-microphone layout, combined with an AI-powered noise reduction algorithm, delivers stronger wind-noise resistance. It effectively reduces background chatter and wind noise while keeping your voice crystal clear, allowing you to take calls confidently wherever your workout takes you.
