One of the best headphone deals for runners is the Shokz OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction Headphones which are on sale at Best Buy for today only. They usually cost $180 but right now, you can buy them for just $140 so you’re saving $40. The catch is that this deal is available for today only so if you wait until tomorrow, you’ll miss out. If you’re quick though, you’re in luck. Here’s what you need to know about the Shokz OpenRun Pro before you make a purchase.

Why you should buy the Shokz OpenRun Pro

When you run regularly, you can go for some of the best headphones but in many cases, you’d fare better with the best bone conduction headphones. That’s because bone conduction headphones mean you can still hear your surroundings as needed such as if a car drives past before you cross the road. They work by using a set of conductors that rest along your jawbone to generate a series of sound waves. Such waves create vibrations throughout the skull and jaw which your inner ears register as sound. It sounds like magic and it kind of is. With the Shokz OpenRun Pro, you get the best of the bunch.

The Shokz OpenRun Pro use Shokz TurboPitch technology which means two units of CoreCushion (base enhancers) are located inside the transducers, ensuring you get premium sound quality every time. Enhanced bass along with crisp and clear midrange to high frequencies mean exceptional sound quality.

Alongside great sound quality, you get 10 hours of battery life with a lightweight and secure fit. A wraparound titanium frame means a great fit throughout the day which is perfect for cyclists or long distance runners. They also have dual noise-cancelling mics for taking calls while the headphones are IP55 water resistant for rain or sweaty conditions. With app support, you can also adjust the EQ to your liking with a choice of two settings.

The Shokz OpenRun Pro normally costs $180 but right now, you can buy the best bone conduction headphones for $140 at Best Buy. The deal is only available for today so you only have a handful of hours to snap up the saving.

From their regular price of $400, they're down to a more affordable $330, but we're not sure how much time is remaining before you miss this chance at $70 in savings. This is one of the most attractive headphone deals that we've recently seen, so you're going to want to complete your transaction quickly, before other shoppers pick up all the stocks.

Why you should buy the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones
With a perfect 5-star rating in our review, we described the Sony WH-1000XM5 as "the best headphones, period" in our roundup of the best headphones. We didn't think the Sony WH-1000XM4 can get any better, but we were proven wrong, as our Sony WH-1000XM5 versus Sony WH-1000XM4 comparison reveals that the latest model in the popular line of wireless headphones features a lighter weight and new synthetic leather for extra comfort, better call quality, and noticeably superior noise-canceling performance with two processors and eight microphones. The Sony WH-1000XM5 also offer the Auto NC Optimizer, which improves noise cancellation depending on your wearing conditions and the environment.

If you've had your sights set on the Apple AirPods Max for a while now, but you've been waiting for a chance to get them with a huge discount, today's the day: Best Buy is selling the wireless headphones for $400, for savings of $150 on their original price of $550. They don't always appear on headphone deals, so we're pretty sure that a lot of shoppers will try to take advantage of this offer. Before the stocks that are up for sale run out, secure your own by pushing through with the purchase as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Max
The Apple AirPods Max on sale are the original release with the Lightning port, not the Apple AirPods Max update with the USB-C port, but that's not likely going to be a problem for Apple fans who still have some devices using the brand's proprietary connector. You're still getting a device that appears in our roundups of the best headphones as our pick for iPhone owners and best noise-canceling headphones as our recommend choice for Apple users. It all begins with the amazing active noise cancellation of the Apple AirPods Max, their fantastic transparency mode when you want to hear what's going on around you without having to take them off, and support for spatial audio for an immersive listening experience.
