If you're looking to compete in an organised running race or you're just keen to stay aware of your surroundings while pounding the streets, you'll want a pair of the best bone conduction headphones. Of all the options out there, I highly recommend the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2, which are on sale at Amazon for £135 (was £169).

We love their great sound quality, comfortable and stable fit, and good battery life with fast charging. What more could you want?

Today's best bone conduction headphones deal

In our Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 review, the popular headphones for runners narrowly missed out on a five-star rating. Our main gripe was that they were a little expensive, which is no longer an issue thanks to this discount.

So, why did we describe them as "the ideal runners' headphones," and what do we love about them specifically? Well, we love their great sound quality, solid battery life, and lightweight construction, which makes them comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

If you've tried bone conduction headphones in the past and experienced an unpleasant vibrating sensation, then you'll be pleased to know that the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2, in the main, doesn't suffer from this side effect. Our reviewer only experienced it when he switched to the classic mode because, then, the air conduction feature is turned off.

The OpenRun Pro 2 are not your only option for the best bone conduction headphones, although this deal will be hard to match. If you're interested in the best open-ear headphones instead, then we've collated all our favourites to save you the hassle.
