Bone conduction headphones aren’t exactly a new phenomenon, but I’m a very late adopter. The Shokz OpenRun Pro, a great set of bone conduction headphones, have topped our best running headphones buying guide for ages; however, it's only after I got the chance to test a pair of the non-pro Shokz OpenRun that I’ve come to fully appreciate the benefits of open-ears.
For a few years now I've been using a cheap set of in-ear buds, the Anker Soundcore Life P2, on my runs. They’re a steal at around $50 /£40 (and they're often on sale for less). They're some of the best cheap wireless earbuds I’ve used for the price, they're relatively stable, and they offer average but perfectly good sound quality. My position as TechRadar’s fitness and wearables editor notwithstanding, I’m a stubborn person, and outside of reviews I tend to stick with something cheap and cheerful for personal use.
