Thread: Best bit of kit you brought this year ?

I bought a pair of Shokz bone conduction headphones - the OpenRun Pro 2 version. Not cheap but they are excellent. Sound quality is pretty good, but you can still hear everything going on around you. Don't buy if you like serious studio monitors or active noise canceling, but if you run, walk or cycle, or drive, for that matter, these are the business. So comfortable I forget I'm wearing them for hours at a time. No sweaty or hot ears like on or over ear headphones. Work fine with glasses, bike helmet, baseball cap...

Got them last year... brilliant. I was walking around a huge rock crusher while it was running today, wearing ear plugs and shokz and was having a perfectly normal phone conversation... no shouting or background noise.
