"Shokz Openrun Pro" was a new highest peak of bone conduction earphones.

It was much higher than expected!

A new "Openrun Pro" has been announced by the popular bone conduction earphone maker SHOKZ (formerly AFTERSHOKZ).It seems that the heavy bass has been enhanced while inheriting the goodness of the current high -end model "Aeropex", so I am very worried.

So I borrowed it and tried it, and I rejoiced the heavy bass boost than expected.The degree of perfection as an earphone is rising, and it is perfect for those who want to exercise while enjoying music.It is also recommended for those who are not good at wearing a closed earphone.When not using it, it is light that you do not care about even if you put it on your neck, so it is excellent to be able to use both on and off.I thought it was a good option for those who are looking for highly versatile earphones.

What is bone conduction earphones?

By the way, how is bone conduction earphones from ordinary earphones?

Unlike the conventional earphones that transmit sound vibration through air, SHOKZ's bone conduction earphones send vibrations through cheekbones, detour the eardrum, and convey the sound directly to the inner ears (Click here for details).

The advantage of bone conduction earphones is that it is easy to ensure safety even when using it outdoors because it can incorporate the surrounding environmental sound without closing the ears.In addition, it is easy to use to be able to talk to people around you without removing your earphones.

The disadvantage is that it is easier to leak sound than an inner earphone.Sensitive people may tickle the cheekbones vibrating or feel uncomfortable.

What kind of earphones are Openrun Pro?

Openrun Pro, newly announced by SHOKZ, is a left and right bone conduction wireless earphones.The design of the earphone part lightly on the ear and turns the titanium band on the back of the head is the same as the existing model.

What has changed is that the new technology has enhanced the heavy bass.In addition, the battery duration has expanded to 10 hours, and at the same time it supports quick charging.I can't use it when I want to use it because the battery runs out.

Openrun Pro is currently crowdfunding, and specially costs 2537 yen.The list price is 23,880 yen (tax included), which is about 4000 yen higher than the current model Aeropex.It is a high -end band product.

Points of choosing earphones

Whether you're at work or private, you definitely want to have an earphone that plays an active part in multi -scenes.So what are the points to find the best earphones for you?

The first important thing is the comfort.Since the shape of the ear has individual differences, the same earphone does not always suit everyone.It is ideal to actually wear it at the store before purchasing, and check if there is no discomfort or easily come off.

On top of that, it is also important to choose the one that suits the purpose of use.For example, if you are assuming the use of work main, you should focus on the sound quality of the microphone assuming the use of online conferences and calling.On the other hand, if you want to enjoy your hobby music, the sound quality is the most important.

In my case, I tried some headphones and earphones that can enjoy music during outdoor running, and finally reached the osteotomy -derived earphone.What we emphasized was to incorporate the external sound (ensure body safety), lightness, and waterproof.Aeropex, which meets these three conditions, is used so that there is no day when there is no turn.

So, from these perspectives, what about Openrun Pro?The following is a summary of what I actually touched and felt.

The presence of heavy bass is thick

The biggest cucumber of Openrun Pro is sound quality.The sound quality of Aeropex was a bit flat, poor in bass sound, and it was not enough compared to the general sound quality -oriented earphones, but when I compared it, the heavy bass of Openrun Pro certainly surely beat AEROPEX.

In addition, the impression that the sound was improved overall due to the improved heavy bass is improved.The sound of Aeropex melted in the surrounding air, it was a gentle sound, or worse, but the sound of Openrun Pro was a more tight impression, approaching the sound of sound quality -oriented earphones.I felt it was.Until now, I was satisfied with just playing music like BGM while running, but the improved sound quality became more immersed in music and it was purely fun.

The comfort is still the best!

The outstanding fit is the same as the current model.The weight of Openrun Pro is 29g, which is slightly heavier than the 26g Aeropex, but it is a difference that you do not notice when you actually wear it.

It fits naturally in the position where the sound sounds best, and it does not shift even if you exercise.This is a plain miracle.I think it's the best design with no more improvement.

The dual noise canceling microphone is still excellent, and it can be used without any problems for calls and online conferences.

In fact, my mother called me (which tends to be long) during running, so I talked with Openrun Pro while continuing to walk.The sound was clear and easy to hear, and she seemed to have reached her mother firmly, and she said, "She is actually talking via earphones."I was surprised.

Pay attention to the volume?

Compared to Aeropex, the sound is slightly easier to leak.I didn't notice if it was a common sense volume, and I thought it would be a problem because it was this time when a social distance was shouted.

The reason why the sound leaks when the volume is near the maximum is that some small holes are open in the speaker.Since the vibration of the earphone part increases in proportion to the volume, some people may feel the cheekbones tickle if it is loud.

* Regarding the sound leakage, SHOKZ and the Japanese authorized distributor focal point notified that "Openrun Pro, which uses new technology, is less than Aeropex."If you are interested, try both and compare them.The description of sound leakage is a personal feeling and impression.

If you were lost with bone conduction earphones, why not buy?

When I actually used Openrun Pro, I felt it was the new highest peak of bone conduction earphones.The sound quality has been greatly improved while keeping the comfort of wearing it is as it is, and charging stress has been reduced.If you combine the advantages of the conventional bone conduction earphones that "do not close your ears", it may be a significant choice as an earphone that can be used without choosing TPOs.

From the writer who likes heavy bass, the Openrun Pro, which has much improvement in sound quality, is already incredibly attractive, but I'm an AEROPEX user.SHOKZ products are robust, and Aeropex seems to be still active.I am also worried that Openrun Pro (IP55) has slightly lowered waterproofing compared to Aeropex (IP67 standard).It's a little further ahead to buy a new one.

However, if I didn't have Aeropex, I would have definitely jumped to Openrun Pro.Rather, it's enviable that people who don't have bone conduction earphones yet and are wondering whether to buy.The price is a little higher than Aeropex, but if you want to stick to the sound quality, I think it is enough.Bone conduction earphones, is it time to buy now?
