If you’re aiming to get out running more often this year, then you’ll want some high-quality running earbuds to help you stay motivated. Well, we’ve got good news, because we’ve found a great deal on the Shokz OpenRun Pro bone-conduction headphones, some of our favorite bone-conduction headphones around, which knocks $40 off the usual price.
Bone-conduction headphones are fascinating because they allow you to hear your music incredibly clearly even without anything in or over your ears. Instead, the sound waves hit your temples and transfer to your ear drum. They’re more comfortable, and they can help you stay more aware of your surroundings, too.Â

Shokz pioneered the open-ear headphone design and makes some of the best bone-conduction headphones around. CNET voted the OpenRun Pro the best overall bone-conduction headphone of 2024, and they’ve not been knocked off that perch yet in 2025. With incredible sound quality, up to 10 hours of battery life and a quick re-charge rate (five minutes of charging gets you up to 90 minutes of battery life), there’s a lot to like about these headphones. They’re also light and comfortable, so they can basically do it all.Â

Why this deal matters
We like these headphones a lot, and while a little quirky for some, they offer an interesting way to listen to music that’s really comfortable for a lot of people. They’re also great for workouts and outdoor runs or dog walks, and while we like them at full price, we like them even more with $40 off.
The deal only applies to the Best Buy-exclusive steel blue color, with others remaining at $160. It’s also worth noting that Shokz just launched a new set of true wireless earbuds at CES if you don’t like the bone-conduction tech so much.
