Shokz may be getting some fresh competition in the open-ear headphone space from the likes of Bose and Suunto, but it’s hard to beat the value of its OpenRun Pro — especially while they’re still discounted to $124.95 ($55 off) at Amazon and Best Buy until July 23rd at 1AM ET.
The OpenRun Pro are a “form follows function” device, designed primarily for fitness and exercise use with bone conduction tech that doesn’t block your ears. The wraparound headphones may not be the prettiest, but they are incredibly helpful if you want to venture out into busy streets without blocking out the surrounding noise. To go along with the running-focused name, the OpenRun Pro are both lightweight and water / sweat resistant, so you can get plenty gross and clammy without too much worry.
While most regular noise-canceling earbuds have transparency modes to tunnel in ambient sounds, nothing really beats having your ears unencumbered. Plus, these get bonus points for not having tiny earbuds that could slip from your ears and into traffic.
More Monday deal moods
- The physical version of Final Fantasy XVI on PlayStation 5 is once again selling for $29.99 ($20 off) at Best Buy and Amazon. It’s not quite at the $25 all-time low it briefly sold for during Amazon Prime Day, but it’s a great value for Square Enix’s intensely grimdark story following Clive and his journey through the world of Valisthea.

- Lego Insiders have until Saturday, July 27th, to buy the $359.99 Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale set and receive a Lego Dungeons & Dragons Mimic Dice Box ($19.99 value) free with purchase. The Lego rewards program is free to sign up for, so if you’re interested in the 3,745-piece fantasy set, you might as well join and get the freebie — especially since Insiders can also download a PDF playable adventure using the set and its minifigs. (You’ll also get a Candy Store set thrown in for making a purchase over $200, which I suppose is also nice, if a bit unrelated to D&D — unless you’re roleplaying your dragon to have a sweet tooth.)
- New and upgrading subscribers to GeForce Now’s Ultimate and Priority tiers can lock in a one- or six-month membership for 50 percent off (ranging from $4.99 to $49.99 saved).

The deal runs until August 18th. Read our review of the Ultimate tier.
