The most advanced bone conduction open-ear headphones now come in a smaller titanium frame for elite athletes looking for a more snug fit

Shokz, formerly AfterShokz and known for its patented bone conduction technology and open-ear headphones, today announced OpenRun Pro Mini, a smaller version of Shokz’s most premium bone conduction sports headphones - OpenRun Pro. The reduced-size version of the boundary pushing open-ear headphones brings big performance in a 0.83-inch shorter band, giving those with smaller head sizes and ear shapes a more comfortable and snug fit.

Much like the standard version, OpenRun Pro Mini are powered by patented Shokz TurboPitch™ Technology, which adds two bass enhancers into the transducers for improved sound quality and enriched bass, allowing you experience every note, beat and chorus of your favorite tunes while keeping both of your ears open to ambient sounds around you.

“Since its debut earlier this year, OpenRun Pro has provided athletes with world-class comfort and increased awareness without compromising on sound quality,” said Vincent Xiong, Chief Executive Officer at Shokz. “But for runners, lifters and outdoor enthusiasts who found the current band too large, OpenRun Pro Mini’s shorter band gives a more ideal fit for added comfort and stability. Now everyone can truly take advantage of OpenRun Pro’s patented comfortable fit and open-ear design while listening to their favorite tunes. Shokz plans to keep innovating its open-ear design and we’re thrilled to introduce this valuable option for every athlete and tech enthusiast to experience.”

OpenRun Pro Mini Premium Bone Conduction Sport Headphones also feature:

• Open-Ear Comfort: Unlike traditional headphones, Shokz’s signature bone conduction technology innovates the way people hear sound. OpenRun Pro Mini features an open-ear design that keeps you aware of your surroundings and delivers all-day comfort. Crush your training goals and stay aware of traffic, pedestrians, cyclists, and more with OpenRun Pro Mini. They allow you to seamlessly connect with both your favorite audio and the world around you.
• Premium Sound Quality with Enhanced Bass: OpenRun Pro Mini uses 9th generation bone conduction technology (Shokz TurboPitch™) to enhance low and mid-range frequencies, make the bass richer and fuller, and enhance the listening atmosphere. The two bass enhancers that are located inside the transducers ensure you experience every note, beat, and chorus while you listen. In addition, spoken words are softer and more natural-sounding, making OpenRun Pro Mini a great choice for audiobooks and podcasts.
• 10-Hour Battery Life & Quick Charge: Up to 10 hours of music and calls keep you powered up through two-a-days, competition or long training sessions. Also, a five-minute Quick Charge gives you up to 1.5 hours of listening time so you can get on the go fast.
• IP55 Water-Resistant: With an IP55 rating that weathers dust and moisture, OpenRun Pro Mini is durable enough to withstand rainy runs, sweaty rides, or gritty conditions.
• Dual Noise-Canceling Microphone: Take and/or make a call no matter where you’re working out. OpenRun Pro Mini is equipped with a dual noise-canceling microphone for crystal-clear calls on both ends.

Shokz OpenRun Pro Mini is available for order today in black and beige for $179.95 USD and $229.95 CAD on Shokz.com.
