That means you can listen to music or podcasts while still hearing what’s going on around you, offering extra peace of mind in busy areas or when it’s getting dark\. The lightweight titanium wraparound frame is designed to stay secure during runs and other workouts, and an IP55 rating means you don’t have to worry about getting caught in a little rain\.

At $179, though, they’re also significantly more expensive\. If it’s the open\-ear design that appeals to you most and you want to save, the original OpenRun Pro remains a good investment\. ## Verge Shopping Sign up to get the best deals on products we’ve found and tested sent to your inbox\. **Follow topics and authors**from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates\. - Sheena Vasani
