If you're looking for your first pair of running earbuds or want an upgrade, then some of the best in the business are the latest Shokz OpenFit 2, which are now on sale at Amazon for $139.95 (was $179.95).

This is the first discount that we've seen on the earbuds since they were released earlier this year. The $40 price drop makes the four-star buds more appealing than ever, as the high starting price point was one of our biggest issues when we originally tested them.

However, now they're on offer, these could be an ideal set of earbuds for me when I'm out running, as they not only sound fantastic but also stay in place. If you're having to reinsert them every few minutes, not only would that be seriously annoying, but it would also completely throw your exercise out of kilter. The Shokz OpenFit 2 solve that, while also offering an open-ear design so you can be aware of your surroundings at the same time.

When we got our hands on these for our Shokz OpenFit 2 review, we gave the new open earbuds a respectable four stars, but were unsure whether they were worth the money. That may have been the case at full price, but with this discount, they're a fantastic choice for runners. Get them for the improved audio quality, excellent battery life, handy physical controls, secure fit, and open-ear design.

The Shokz OpenFit 2 boast a new dual-driver system that serves up "rich bass and vocals". Our reviewer even said they were "easily some of the best-sounding open-ear earbuds" they had tried. That's high praise indeed.

In terms of design, you'll get a new silicone finish that is not only very comfortable over long periods but also guarantees they'll stay firmly in place when running. Additionally, there is a new set of physical inputs that now sit alongside touch controls.

The open-ear headphones offer a range of additional features, including 48 hours of playtime, fast charging, IP55 water resistance, and a handy carry bag. That means they'll not only last for ages but also be durable enough to take with you on all runs.
