Runner Pro2 is the cheapest pick on this list at $69.99 on sale, down from a regular $79.99. Nank, formerly Naenka, describes it as an upgrade to its earlier Runner Pro with better waterproofing, lower weight, improved Bluetooth and more memory. The spec list includes IP68 waterproofing for swimming and surfing, 32 GB of storage, Bluetooth 5.3, and a double-click to switch between Bluetooth and MP3 modes. Battery life is 8 hours at 60% volume, with a 1.5 hour magnetic charge. It weighs 32 g and has a frame Nank says can rotate 360 degrees. The important trade-off is stated plainly by Nank: the microphone has been removed, so you cannot take calls. For runners and cyclists who only want music or podcasts and like the idea of swimming with the same pair, that may not matter. Nank lists a 1-year warranty, shorter than Shokz.

Who it is for

Budget buyers who want swim-proof open-ear audio and never take calls while training.
