If you’ve been on the hunt for headphones that sound good but are safer on the road and more considerate to other trail users than earbuds, these Shoz OpenRun Pro bone conduction headphones may be perfect for you. They fit outside the ear and rely on sound being transmitted through vibrations on the bones of the head and jaw. The sounds from these headphones bypass the eardrum and relays sound directly to the inner ear. According to Des, “you can hear everything perfectly fine  (traffic and trail users) even at high volume. Higher speeds (18mph+) wind noise can be an issue for hearing music but it’s the same as not having any headphones at all. A compromise I am OK with.”

You’ll be able to hear other road and trail users while still rockin’ out to your favorite YGR Radio DJ.
