As sure as night follows day, the new year fitness push follows the festive overindulgence. But this is your chance to beat the rush and save some money at the same time. Open-ear headphones pioneer Shokz’s Black Friday sale has knocked almost a third off the brand’s top active pairs, so you can get physical before everyone else while saving money into the bargain.
So what makes Shokz’s headphones different? The brand pioneered the use of bone conduction and open-ear technologies, so instead of injecting the sound directly into your ears, leaving you deaf to the outside world, the sound reaches you in a more open, natural way, allowing you to hear noises from your environment at the same time. Not only does this make you more aware of your surroundings, it’s safer too, as you’ll be alerted to sirens, car horns and people’s voices. Which makes these headphones great for exercising outdoors.
Shokz headphones are endorsed by marathon legends Eliud Kipchoge, Eilish McColgan and Tom Evans, and they’re the only sports headphones brand recognised by England Athletics. They’re ideal not only for running, but also cycling, swimming, trail running and just walking. So whether you’re looking to kickstart your winter fitness regime early, or want a gift for that tricky-to-buy-for friend, Shokz has a suitable pair, and at a knockdown price this Black Friday.
