Shokz OpenMove review

OpenMove is the cheapest way into the Shokz lineup at $79.95, and for runs under an hour or a daily commute it covers the basics. It uses Shokz's 7th generation PremiumPitch 2.0 bone conduction, which the company says has 50% less sound leakage than the generation before, and it leaves your ears open to traffic like the pricier models. Battery life is 6 hours and a full charge takes 2 hours, both the weakest figures among the Shokz models here. The IP55 rating means it handles sweat and rain but should not be rinsed under a tap or worn swimming. It weighs 29 g with a titanium headband and comes in one size. Two noise-cancelling microphones handle calls over Bluetooth 5.1. You get the same 2-year warranty and 45-day returns as the $179.95 flagship, which is a fair reason to pick it over unbranded options at a similar price.
