Open-ear champ for workouts? OpenFit Pro edges out OpenRun, but at a steep price

Testing Shokz OpenFit Pro against the OpenRun, Nico Arboleda finds the OpenFit Pro delivers top-tier audio quality and effective noise reduction for workouts with a secure, comfortable fit, but its $249 price and fiddly controls dampen its appeal for all-day use or very noisy outdoor cycling. The OpenRun remains cheaper and solid, so the “winner” depends on priorities: if audio quality and open-ear design justify the cost, OpenFit Pro; otherwise, a cheaper bone-conduction option may be the smarter pick.

Bone-conduction tech reveals the true nature of your voice perception.

New research published in Royal Society Open Science shows that bone conduction helps distinguish between your own voice and the voice of others. The study found that hearing our own voice feels unnatural to us because of the lack of bone conduction, which alters the acoustic properties of our voice. Bone-conduction headphones were used to overcome this issue, and the study found that participants were better at telling their own voice apart from someone else’s voice when they heard the sounds through their bones instead of through the air. The findings have clinical relevance for conditions such as schizophrenia.
