I was upset about that for a long time. So I am very well aware of the value of a good carry case.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to transport your valuable headphones safely, a hard case like the one that comes with the Shokz OpenRun Pro is pretty much invaluable.<\/p>\n<h2>The Bass on the Shokz OpenRun Pro vs. Shokz OpenRun<\/h2>\n<p>The sound quality on both these sets of headphones is much the same. That is to say, the <strong>sound quality is truly excellent on both of them<\/strong>. However, the Shokz OpenRun Pro have a noticeably better ability to reproduce bass.<\/p>\n<p>Bear in mind that they are still both bone conduction headphones, and you cannot expect to generate a symphony concert in your cheek bones. In short, even on the Pro, the bass is still not stellar. If you want that, you need to be looking at something much more immersive and ear-covering. But that is probably not going to be ideal for your bike rides!<\/p>\n<p>Also, note that the Shokz headphones have a companion app with some EQ presets that you can use to finetune the sound. Plus, if sound quality is SUPER high priority for you, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/review-shokz-openfit-headphones\/\">our post on the new Shokz OpenFit headphones<\/a>, which use regular sound technology (not bone conduction) in a miniaturized, open ear format.<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-185\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-185\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\"><center><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4b1Ltwv\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Check price of Shokz OpenRun on Amazon<\/a><\/th><th class=\"column-2\"><center><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3vQiz25\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Check price of Shokz OpenRun Pro on Amazon<\/a><\/strong><\/th><th class=\"column-3\"><center><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3OdzOkp\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Check price of Shokz OpenFit on Amazon<\/a><\/strong><\/center><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><center><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4b1LzEn\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Shokz-openrun-350-1.jpg?resize=350%2C156&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"156\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Shokz-openrun-350-1.jpg?w=350&amp;ssl=1 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Shokz-openrun-350-1.jpg?resize=300%2C134&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\"><center><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4aWUXJk\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/shokz-openrun-pro-350.jpg?resize=350%2C165&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"165\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/shokz-openrun-pro-350.jpg?w=350&amp;ssl=1 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/shokz-openrun-pro-350.jpg?resize=300%2C141&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><center><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3OdzOkp\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/shokz-openfit-300.jpg?resize=301%2C320&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"301\" height=\"320\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/shokz-openfit-300.jpg?w=301&amp;ssl=1 301w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/shokz-openfit-300.jpg?resize=282%2C300&amp;ssl=1 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-185 from cache -->\n<h2>Waterproof Rating on the Shokz OpenRun Pro vs. Shokz OpenRun<\/h2>\n<p>Oddly, the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3W861wm\">OpenRun<\/a> wins the race here, with a higher rating for water and dust resistance.

However, the IP67 rating on the OpenRun headphones is kind of awesome.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the IP Rating?<\/h3>\n<p>IP stands for Ingress Protection. Products are rated as IP XX. The first X will tell you how well the product is protected from solid things, such as dust. The second X is the rating for resistance to water. The higher the rating for both X\u2019s, the better a product is protected.<\/p>\n<h3>The IP Ratings on the Shokz OpenRun Pro vs. Shokz OpenRun<\/h3>\n<h4>Shokz OpenRun: IP67<\/h4>\n<p>The 6 means that these headphones are <strong>Dust <\/strong><strong>Proof<\/strong>. Absolutely no dust will get through. The 7 means that these headphones can safely be submerged <strong>up to 1 meter<\/strong> <strong>in water for 30 minute<\/strong>s and can resist <strong>high-pressure, heavy sprays<\/strong> of water.<\/p>\n<h4>Shokz OpenRun Pro: IP55<\/h4>\n<p>The first 5 means that these headphones are <strong>Dust <\/strong><strong>Resistant<\/strong>. Some dust may get through, but it won\u2019t be enough to damage the product. The second 5 means that these headphones can resist a sustained, <strong>low-pressure water jet spray<\/strong><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Personal Experience of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3W861wm\">Shokz OpenRun Headphones<\/a> in Water<\/h3>\n<p>I can vouch for how awesome the Shokz OpenRun headphones are in the water. I once accidentally wore mine during a pool workout. (Yes, I admit it, I was doing Water Aerobics with Maggie.) During this workout, I twice immersed my head in the water in front of a water outlet pump (to clear my head \u2013 the previous night was a late one). I twice subjected my head (and therefore the headphones) to a jet of water for as long as I could hold my breath.<\/p>\n<p>Later, I realized I had been wearing my Shokz OpenRun headphones the whole time. I was very unhappy, because I thought for sure I had killed the headphones. But the misery only lasted for a minute, because they turned out to be completely unscathed. This was quite a shock \u2013 but a good one. But given the IP67 rating, I should not have been surprised. These headphones were designed with this kind of idiotic behavior in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Even at IP55, the OpenRun Pro headphones are more than robust enough for cycling and running in the rain, as well as completely able to withstand heavy sweating.<\/p>\n<h3>Swimming Laps?<\/h3>\n<p>Note however that neither of these headphones is intended for swimming laps. Even if they were fully waterproof, they would be pretty much useless, because BlueTooth doesn\u2019t work in the water. If (like me) you want to listen to music or podcasts while swimming laps, you will need the Shokz OpenSwim headphones.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40903\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40903\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/aftershokz-xtrainerz-safe-headphones\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"40903\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/best-headphones-safe-cycling-2\/post-header-joe-and-maggie-safest-headphones\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Post-header-Joe-and-Maggie-safest-headphones.jpg?fit=750%2C420&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,420\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Post header Joe and Maggie safest headphones\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Post-header-Joe-and-Maggie-safest-headphones.jpg?fit=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Post-header-Joe-and-Maggie-safest-headphones.jpg?fit=750%2C420&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-40903 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Post-header-Joe-and-Maggie-safest-headphones.jpg\" alt=\"On the left, Maggie wearing OpenRun headphones.

I could absolutely make do with the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3W861wm\">Shokz Open Run<\/a>.
