Know before you buy
Instead of placing speakers inside your ear canal, these headphones use transducers to send vibrations through your cheekbones directly to your inner ear. This leaves your ear canal completely open, allowing you to hear your music while remaining fully aware of traffic, conversations, or your environment.
Yes, the OpenRun Pro features an IPX4 water-resistance rating. This means they are protected against sweat and light rain, making them suitable for intense workouts and outdoor runs, though they should not be submerged in water.
The lightweight titanium frame is designed to wrap securely around the back of your head, providing a stable fit that stays in place even during vigorous activity like sprinting or jumping.
The OpenRun Pro uses Bluetooth 5.1, which is compatible with most modern smartphones, tablets, and computers. As long as your device supports standard Bluetooth audio, you should be able to connect seamlessly within a 33-foot range.
The headphones reach a full charge in approximately one hour using the included charging cable. They also feature a quick-charge function, which is helpful if you need a boost of power before heading out for a workout.
No, these headphones do not have active noise cancellation. Because the open-ear design is specifically engineered to keep you aware of your surroundings, they are not intended to block out external noise.
