If you didn’t catch the Prime Day sale on Shokz headphones, don’t worry–they’re still on sale “with Prime” today. These are my favorite workout headphones. They’re open-ear, so I can hear my surroundings when I’m running; bluetooth-enabled, so I don’t have to worry about cords; and they’ve proven to be sweatproof and durable over years of use.
If that all sounds good to you, today is your lucky day (and maybe tomorrow too–we don’t know how long this sale will continue). The OpenRun is back to its normal price, but the other three models I highlighted for this sale are still discounted as of this writing. That includes the OpenRun Pro, which includes a microphone for phone calls; the OpenMove, a cheaper option with a slightly clunkier style and no “mini” option, and the OpenFit, which comes as a pair of separate ear hooks in a charging case.

Why I love my Shokz workout headphones
My own pair is technically the Aeropex Mini, which tells you how long these things last—Shokz (then known as Aftershokz) discontinued the Aeropex line in 2021 and replaced them with the OpenRun, which as far as I can tell is the same darn thing (specifically, mine seems to be equivalent to the OpenRun Pro Mini). Other members of my household have since bought the OpenRun and the entry-level OpenMove, and I’d gladly recommend all of them to anyone looking for a no-fuss workout headphone.
Aside from the fact that they let me hear cars and neighbors while on a jog, I love these headphones for how little I have to pay attention to them. There’s no way they can fall out of your ears, and they have a volume button on one side and a pause/skip button on the other, so I don’t have to fumble with my phone. When I’m in a noisy environment, I’ve found that I can wear my OpenRun-alikes with earplugs in (I wear the Loop Experience) and, thanks to bone conduction, I can still hear my music while protecting my ears from the sounds of barbell drops and ambient noise.
A note on fit: The standard OpenRun headphones are a good fit for people with a medium-to-large head, but many of us will prefer the “mini” size option. (I think my head is pretty average sized for a woman—I’m 5’6″, if that helps—and I needed the mini to get a good fit.) Shokz has a fit guide here, if you’d like to measure your head to be sure.
