Shokz has officially launched its latest bone conduction sports headphones, the OpenRun Air 2, now available on JD.com for 798 Yuan. This new model aims to enhance the listening experience for athletes and active individuals with several key upgrades.
Design and Comfort
The OpenRun Air 2 headphones come in three vibrant color options: Dynamic Green, Breaking Blue, and Racing Black. Weighing in at just 26.4g, they are notably lighter and 8.6% smaller in volume compared to their predecessor. Shokz has redesigned the headphones with a forward-shifted center of gravity and a rounded, curved surface where they meet the face, ensuring a more secure and stable fit during intense physical activity. To further enhance usability during workouts, the headphones are equipped with physical buttons for quick and easy operation.
Audio Technology and Connectivity
At the core of the OpenRun Air 2 is Shokz’s signature PremiumPitch 3.0 bone conduction technology, which utilizes a dual-sound-pool and dual-vibration-membrane structure. This is combined with an improved noise-cancellation design to minimize sound leakage. For clearer calls, the headphones feature dual microphones that work in conjunction with Qualcomm’s cVc algorithm platform and AI noise reduction technology. This setup effectively filters out environmental wind noise, ensuring that voice calls remain crisp and understandable, even in challenging outdoor conditions.
Battery Life and Charging
Battery performance is a significant highlight for the OpenRun Air 2. Users can expect up to 10 hours of continuous music playback on a single charge, with a standby time of 12 days. A full charge takes approximately 60 minutes. Additionally, the headphones support a quick-charge feature, providing 2 hours of playback from just 5 minutes of charging, which is ideal for those times when you need a quick audio boost before heading out.
