During most of them, headphones are not permitted with a few exceptions.

Those exceptions are open-ear headphones and bone conduction headphones , which allow runners like me to hear the world around them while listening to motivational tunes, podcasts, and taking calls. Open ears allow you to hear traffic, pedestrians and other hazards on training runs, and instructions
from marshals and guides during races.

I met one runner at an event who runs as a guide for blind runners, and
in-ear headphones means his shouts and whistles for them to get out of the
way and mind the blind runners fall on (literally) deaf ears. Open-ear headphones are about more than just your own safely, but others' safety too.

Shokz is the biggest name in open-ear headphones, and right now is offering a selection of 'back-to-school' deals until 31 August. I often use both the Shokz OpenFit true wireless earbuds and Shokz OpenRun bone conduction series, and there are deals on the budget options from both lines here, making them even better value.

You can get the older Shokz OpenRun discounted from 129.99 down to 94 on Amazon , while the true wireless Shokz OpenFit Air are discounted from 94
down to just 64 on Amazon . The OpenFits would be my budget running
headphones pick, but you can view both deals below. Today's best Shokz deals Save 35.95 Shokz OpenRun: was 129.95 now 94 at Amazon

A great deal, and my budget pick. These true wireless earbuds allow you open-ear freedom, although they use speakers to project sound rather than
bone conduction, but they still sound great. We rated the Shokz OpenFit Air 4.5 stars out of 5 in our review. View Deal More Shokz deals Shokz OpenRun
