What reviewers say about the Shokz OpenRun Pro
Three whitelisted testers — TechRadar, Tom's Guide and SoundGuys — hands-on reviewed the exact OpenRun Pro (S810, 2022) and agree it's among the best-sounding bone-conduction headsets yet, with a light, secure fit and a long 10-hour battery plus quick charge. All three note sound still trails sealed in-ear/over-ear headphones; TechRadar additionally flags added skin vibration. Only TechRadar reported a measured figure (battery, matched in its testing).

Battery life (matched in TechRadar's testing): 10 hours
The OpenRun Pro are the best-sounding bone conduction headphones we've tested, and mean you no longer need to make big compromises on audio quality if you want to opt for an open-ear headset.
A complete charge will keep your music playing for up to 10 hours (a figure matched in our tests) which is the most impressive battery life of any headset we've tested to date.
The downside of the upgraded hardware is that they now vibrate more noticeably against your skin.
The Shokz OpenRun Pro are the best bone conduction headphones for working out thanks to competitive sound, a barely-there feel and 10 hours of battery life.
the Shokz OpenRun Pro come the closest of any bone conduction headphones I've tested (including the Bose Frames) to delivering all-encompassing sound.
The yoke doesn't offer any flexibility, so I couldn't adjust the size to fit my head snug as I'd like, but I'd trade that off for barely-there feel any day.
The Shokz OpenRun Pro are as premium as bone conduction headphones get.
The Shokz OpenRun Pro sounds great, and the bass output is slightly louder on this headset than on the older OpenRun.
Pressing any buttons on the headset emits a loud beep, which is annoying when the volume is increased multiple steps.
