[Weekly ELECTRIC ZOOMA!] SHOKZ Bone conduction earphone How far has evolved? "Openrun Pro" -AV Watch

From AfterShokz to SHOKZ

AfterShokz, who is vigorously releasing bone conduction earphones, has announced that the brand name will be changed at the end of last year and it will be shorter to SHOKZ in the future.And on the 10th of the new year, the new product "Openrun Pro" was pre -sale at Green Funding.The direct sales price is 23,880 yen, but it is sold for 19,999 yen for super -early decision and 20,298 yen for early discount.

The first time I heard SHOKZ's bone conduction earphones was "Trekz Air" released in 2018.Before that, bone conduction products were occasionally tried, but it was only for calling for calls, and the sound quality was like an AM radio.However, "TREKZ AIR" was excellent in high -frequency characteristics and was highly clear.Even if you listen to the music, you can understand the content properly, so for sports, I started to use it exclusively.

In 2019, "Aeropex" was released as a high -end model.Based on this, we have developed "AS801-ABT01", which is a set with transmitter for TV viewing, and "AEROPEXPLAY" for children.

SHOKZ's recognition has risen from "OpenComm" released in October 2020.Equipped with a boom microphone, it attracted much attention as a headset for remotely meeting remotes.I buy many people around me.

Bone conduction earphones were noticed because they could hear the surrounding sounds because they could not block the ear holes, but they have not been evaluated much in terms of musical sound quality.Although technological innovation has improved the mid -high range characteristics considerably, the low range is inevitable, and it was a bit unbalanced to appreciate music.

However, "OpenRun Pro", which was released at the beginning of the year, has realized a deep bass rehabilitation that makes you feel deeper than ever.Although it is a product that is conscious of sports applications as "RUN" in the name, this is actually a new flagship model because it is introduced as a successor to Aeropex that appeared in 2019.If the musical balance is good, you can use it as a regular earphone.

This time I was able to get the sample quickly, so let's try it immediately.
