I love Shokz OpenRun Pro Headphones, the mix of premium sound and open-ear safety has transformed my cycling, and they are now up to 22% off in the Amazon Spring Sale

I love music, I spend my days listening to my favourite bands and artists, and when riding either outdoors or indoors on Zwift, I like to have music to motivate me, and dilute the boredom that can occasionally rise when deep into the latest workout in my training plan.

I'm also a massive Apple fan and have often highlighted Apple AirPods Pro headphones as some of the best headphones for cycling. However, I often find that sweat can become an issue with in-ear headphones, resulting in sticky ears and also the headphones.

I have been fortunate enough to try the bone conduction headphones from Shokz, which leave your ears open, and means not only no sweaty ears, but more awareness of your surroundings, and can make outdoor riding far safer, even when blasting heavy tunes.

Right now, you can pick up the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Bone Conduction Headphones at a great price in the Amazon Spring Deal Days sale here in the UK, and the Shokz OpenRun are also carrying a nice discount in the US too.

Safely listening to music or podcasts while riding can enhance your riding experience and also help achieve your training goals.

Traditional headphones have always been considered dangerous, as most earphone designs will close out the surroundings, which can be an issue on busy roads. Shokz has aimed to solve this with its bone-conduction headphones, which means the open-ear design allows users to easily stay in tune with their surroundings.

In testing, we loved the OpenRun Pros, especially the quick charge feature that delivered an hour and a half of battery life in just five minutes of charging, incredibly useful if you forget to charge your headphones and are about to jump on your bike.

I tend to listen to heavy metal while out on the bike, and the OpenRun Pros deliver excellent sound quality and have no issues handling heavily layered music. The sound quality is excellent, which means you can enjoy your favourite music easily while you ride.

The only real negative was in windy conditions, the open-ear design made quieter songs and podcasts slightly harder to hear. However, in the flagship model, the OpenRun Pro 2, Shokz has added a wind-resistant feature that is claimed to significantly restrict wind interference.
