I ran my first half-marathon last year, and these are the Shokz headphones I wish I had invested in to power me through the killer 13-mile race

As far as the best running headphones go, we're still obsessing over the range of audio devices that Shokz has, especially those on offer right now during Amazon Prime Day.

I recently rounded up the best workout headphones deals and thought they're all solid picks, but not all of them are suited to running and intense cardio quite like Shokz. With that said, if you're more of a runner and less of a gym rat, investing in a good pair of headphones from Shokz might work out for you much better in the long run. Pun intended.

Our best overall running headphones, the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2, are now down to $124.95 from $179.95 on Amazon in the US. There's also a UK deal to match, taking the same pair of headphones down to £134 from £169.

However, if bone conduction headphones aren't on your list this Prime Day and you'd rather go without the connective band, the Shokz OpenFit 2+ are a great alternative, now $109 from $199.95 — and £144 down from £179 in the UK.

Last year, I ran my first half-marathon, ticking off another bucket list achievement, but deciding to go music-less was a huge mistake. Besides, my current headphones aren't designed for high-intensity running, which is why I wish I had looked into these models from Shokz before completing the whole 13 miles.

As Amazon doesn't have price history information for these in the US, we don't know if this is a record low for the OpenFit 2+. But what we do know is that $90 off is a staggering discount on a pair of fitness headphones we said were "better than Bose".

A $55 saving on the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 (bone conduction headphones that don't actually go into your ear) is not to be sniffed at, especially as it's the biggest discount these headphones have ever had — they briefly dropped to $139 before now, but never this low! Available in both standard and mini sizes in three colors, the Pro 2 uses bone conduction and air conduction to deliver great sound on multiple fronts, all while keeping you aware of your surroundings.

These only came out last year, and we gave them 4.5 out of 5 in our glowing review – so this discount is fantastic. Clip-style open earbuds hook onto your ear, and don't go into the ear canal – they're really comfortable, they leave you able to hear the world around you as well as your music, and they sound superb.

The OpenFit 2+ are slightly more pricey than the standard OpenFit 2, but there's a reason. Not only do they have incredible sound and fit comfortably even as a glasses wearer, but the battery life runs on a durable 11 hours playtime, 48 hours with the charging case.
