New Shokz bone conduction headphones, now with DualPitch technology

Shokz, the leading brand in bone conduction headphones, has presented its new model, the OpenRun Pro2, during the Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc World Series Finals, one of the most prestigious trail running events in the world. This new headphone, designed for sports enthusiasts, aims to enhance the open-ear audio experience thanks to its advanced DualPitch™ technology, which improves both sound quality and user safety by allowing awareness of the surroundings.

Shokz OpenRun Pro2: environmental awareness enhances safety while using them

The OpenRun Pro2 are made with an ultralight material and a silicone finish that ensures a comfortable and almost imperceptible fit during extended use. This open-ear design allows athletes to focus on physical activity, whether running or doing any other exercise, without sacrificing attention to important sounds around them, such as traffic or warnings from other athletes. Additionally, the device automatically optimizes the volume range, providing clear audio in any situation.

Compared to its predecessors, the OpenRun Pro2 offer a significant improvement in sound quality. Thanks to the DualPitch™ technology, they combine a bone conduction transducer that handles mid and high frequencies perfectly, and an air conduction transducer that provides deep and controlled bass. This combination creates an immersive auditory experience, minimizing unwanted vibrations often associated with bone conduction.

Leon Du, Director for Europe at Shokz, has stated that the OpenRun Pro2 headphones "will take open-ear audio to the next level." "As our flagship product, we have perfected the sound quality features of OpenRun Pro2, allowing users to enjoy music more and better while keeping their ears open," he added.

Shokz's ultra-thin all-metal bone conduction driver is exclusively designed for high-frequency sounds, providing clearer highs and full, natural mids due to its high sensitivity and rigidity. Its innovative double tongue and coil design stabilizes the vibration system, resulting in a purer vocal sound. On the other hand, the low-frequency air conduction transducer processes low-tone sound waves, achieving more powerful and deep bass. The dome-shaped membrane, which is lightweight and reinforced, along with a molded polyurethane ring, allows for greater amplitude without sacrificing audio balance, thus offering impeccable sound, even at high volumes.

The new headphones are available in two sizes and colors, offering up to 12 hours of continuous playback thanks to their high-capacity battery. The fast charging function allows for 2.5 hours of use after just five minutes of charging. Additionally, the water-resistant USB-C port facilitates charging with the included cable or your own, thanks to its two protective layers and secure cover, forming an impenetrable barrier against water while allowing effortless recharging.

However, it is important to remember that, although these headphones are ideal for outdoor activities, their use is prohibited while cycling in Spain, so cyclists should keep this in mind to ensure their safety on the road and avoid issues with the Police.
