If running in the hot summer heat wore out your go-to running headphones, it might be time to refresh your tech and invest in a new pair. Luckily for you, one of our favourite pairs, which our team here at Runner’s World have tested and loved, is on a significant sale for a limited time on Amazon.
The Shokz OpenFit 2 headphones are lightweight, open‑ear Bluetooth headphones designed for runners who value both sound and safety. This gadget allows you to fuel your miles with your favourite tunes, stay alert to traffic and fellow runners, and ditch the earbuds that can’t handle a little sweat or rain.
With an IP55 rating, the OpenFit 2 stand up to dripping sweat and water jets (though they aren’t to be used for swimming). We’ve found that these headphones boast around 11 hours of battery life (48 hours with the charging case). That’s more than marathon-worthy and it means you can go around a week and a half to two weeks without needing to charge them.

The second-gen model improves on almost every front, too. The OpenFit 2 feature a lighter, more flexible design that makes for a more natural and secure fit — no mid-run adjustments needed. Shokz also replaced the fiddly touch controls with physical buttons, making it easier to pause, skip or change volume on the go, even with gloves on. Sound quality has taken a real step forward, too, thanks to DualBoost drivers.
The OpenFit 2 headphones are usually £199.00. But right now, you can purchase these trusty headphones at 41% off, making them £118.00 — and any real runner knows how hard it is to find a quality, long-lasting pair of running headphones for that price.
So whether you’re updating your gear before an autumn marathon or looking for a safer, more comfortable audio option for evening jaunts, the Shokz OpenFit 2 will deliver all the features you need at a rare lower price.
