Worth-it verdict
Is Shokz OpenRun worth buying?
Best valueFair at retailTarget $123
Secure fit, water resistance, and simple controls matter more than maximum codec quality. Older headphone designs can remain excellent, but price and warranty matter more. The review score and price are strong enough that retail pricing can make sense.
