Open ears and DualPitch sound
DualPitch technology combines bone and air conduction. Calling these simply “bone-conduction headphones” therefore doesn’t describe the whole design. Unlike in-ear headphones, they leave your ears open, so you can listen to music or spoken content while still hearing sounds around you.
An open design is not a guarantee of safety in traffic, however. It’s still important to keep the volume reasonable and pay attention to your surroundings.
Weight, comfort and controls
The headphones weigh 30.8 g and measure 123.9 × 99.9 × 45.2 mm. According to the listed specifications, they combine plastic, silicone and metal. When choosing them, consider how the design fits during movement and whether it gets in the way of glasses or other gear.
Physical buttons control volume, playback and calls. It’s worth getting familiar with their positions before exercising so you can manage basic functions while on the move. The headphones include a microphone and support a voice assistant, but a microphone alone doesn’t guarantee equally clear calls in every noisy environment.
Battery and charging
The battery has a capacity of 150 mAh, with a stated maximum of 12 hours of playback. Actual battery life depends on settings and usage conditions, so don’t treat the maximum as a fixed figure when planning a longer activity.
According to the listed figures, five minutes of quick charging provides approximately 2.5 hours of listening. The box includes a USB-C charging cable, a case and a manual.
Bluetooth, two devices and the app
OpenRun Pro 2 use Bluetooth 5.3 and support pairing with two devices. This can be useful when using both a phone and a computer, for example. The manual explains how to switch between them.
The model also supports an app. If buying an imported version, check the regional version and language of the voice prompts, as these may vary between offers.
IP55 protection and sports use
The IP55 rating means the headphones are protected against enough dust entering to interfere with operation, as well as against water jets. It does not mean they are completely dust-tight or protected against immersion. Consult the manual for cleaning and water-exposure guidance.
OpenRun Pro 2 make the most sense for sports or other activities where you want to listen without closing off your ears. The comfort of the open design and the physical controls are key considerations; battery life and pairing with two devices also make them useful beyond workouts.
