With the range of running tech constantly evolving, we take a look at the latest innovations in the world of smartwatches, GPS devices, and earbuds to keep you on track this summer.
SHOKZ – Openfit 2+ £179.00
Shokz, the industry pioneer of open-ear, bone conduction technology, has released its latest device, the OpenFit 2+.
Made with an ultra-lightweight, high-strength material and a soft silicone finish, the OpenFit 2+ is suitable for all-day wear as well as any activity, thanks to the upgraded ear hook made with flexible titanium-based alloy, which moulds to the contours of your ears for a secure fit. Weighing in at a featherlight 9.4g, each earbud is designed to make you forget they’re even there.
They feature two individual speakers in each earbud, an extra-large driver for deep bass, and a small unit for crisp detail. This results in more refined music detail and crystal-clear voice calls.
There is also an upgraded control system which combines physical buttons with touch-sensitive controls for precise and intuitive operation. This means that you can easily adjust volume, skip tracks, answer calls and more, all at the simple press of a button.
With up to 11 hours of listening on a single charge and a 48-hour runtime with the charging case, the OpenFit 2+ Series keeps up with your training and lifestyle. They also boast wireless charging.
