Ranked #4 in Best Bone Conduction Headphones

Mojawa Run Plus

4.3

$159

The Run Plus is the value swim/storage pick. Same IP68 + onboard storage feature combo as the OpenSwim Pro at ~$40 less, with a titanium frame. Trade-off is the smaller brand network and the brighter sound tuning.

Strengths

— Includes 32GB onboard storage like the Shokz OpenSwim Pro — at lower price
— IP68 waterproof rating — submersible
— 10-hour battery — beats the standard Shokz OpenRun

Watch-outs

Higher ratedRanked #1 in Best Bone Conduction Headphones

Shokz OpenRun Pro 2

4.7

$180as of May 21

The OpenRun Pro 2 is the best-overall pick. Shokz's dual-driver design fixes the historical bass weakness of bone conduction headphones — they now sound closer to conventional earbuds while keeping the open-ear awareness that's the whole point of the category.

Strengths

— Dual-driver design (bone conduction + air conduction) — harder-hitting bass than any other pick here
— 12-hour battery + USB-C fast charge (1.5 hours playback in 5 min)
— 9th-gen Premium Pitch 2.0+ tech improves leakage and dynamic range

Watch-outs

— $180 is the most expensive pick — Shokz OpenRun is cheaper for same form factor
— Air-conduction speakers leak sound at higher volumes
— Not as compact as the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Mini for small heads
