Our Verdict

Jaybird Vista 2 Truly Wireless

Shokz OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction

The Jaybird Vista 2 Truly Wireless are more versatile headphones than the Shokz OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction. While both headphones are comfortable, the Jaybird are in-ears with a significantly better noise isolation performance. They're better built and have a more stable in-ear fit, and their companion app offers a parametric EQ and presets to help you adjust their sound to your liking. However, the Shokz are bone conduction headphones that allow you to monitor your environment while still listening to your audio. They have a somewhat better overall mic performance and longer-lasting continuous battery life, and they support multi-device pairing, meaning you can stay connected to your PC and smartphone at the same time.
