Shokz OpenFit 2+ Open-Ear Headphones, Grey

Running with earbuds stuffed in your ears means you hear nothing around you, and they fall out when you sweat. The OpenFit 2+ sits on the outside of your ear with a soft, flexible hook, so your ears stay open. You hear your music, podcast or coach cues clearly, and still hear bikes, cars and the person next to you in the gym.

Shokz’ DualBoost drivers (separate bass and treble drivers) and Dolby Audio give you proper sound, not the thin sound open-ear headphones used to have. Physical buttons work when your fingers are sweaty, the IP55 rating handles sweat and rain, and the battery runs 11 hours per charge and 48 hours with the case. A 10-minute top-up gives you 2 hours, enough for a long run you forgot to charge for. Wireless charging and dual-device connection round it off.
