SHOKZ
Worried about sweaty runs or rain? Shokz headphones are built to handle the classic British drizzle and won’t budge, even on marathon days. They're super lightweight, sit comfortably whether you wear glasses or not, and have buttons you can use on the go. Battery life won’t let you down either—most Shokz models give you hours and hours of playtime, plus quick-charge for those last-minute dashes out the door. No fiddly wires, no fuss—just straightforward Bluetooth connection and reliable controls for your calls, podcasts, or playlists.
You’ll find a range of Shokz headphones to suit every runner at Runners Need. The OpenRun is the lightweight classic with 8 hours of battery and all-day comfort, while OpenRun Pro takes things up a notch with premium sound and up to 10 hours playtime. OpenMove is your go-to for everyday use and commutes, blending comfort and value, and OpenRun Mini delivers the same great features in a more compact fit for smaller heads.
From morning runs around the city to muddy trail miles or just powering through a busy commute, Shokz keeps your soundtrack rolling and your ears in the real world. Try them—you’ll never want to train with anything else.
Shokz headphones use bone conduction technology, sending vibrations through the cheekbones rather than delivering sound directly into the ear canal. This leaves your ears open, making it ideal for staying aware of your surroundings while running or cycling.
Bone conduction converts audio signals into vibrations, which are transmitted through your cheekbones to the inner ear. This bypasses the eardrum, protecting your hearing and allowing you to hear ambient sounds.
