For sports, there are various types of headphones, including in-ear, over-ear, and bone conduction headphones. Bone conduction headphones have many advantages in sports due to their open wearing style: hearing protection, stable wear, water and sweat resistance, environmental awareness, and improved safety of use. Compared to traditional in-ear headphones, it is also more comfortable to wear for long periods of time.
Take the most mainstream bone conduction headphones on the market, are the popular Nanka, Shaoyin and the new ink sense value worth starting?Today, I will evaluate these three bone conduction headphones from multiple dimensions.
Here are some of the products I've recently reviewed:
OneOf course, let's first understand the brand information of these three bone conduction headphones:

Shokin is a company specializing in the research and development of bone conduction technology, and is committed to promoting the development of bone conduction products. Shokin's bone conduction headphones are designed with a focus on style and comfort. In the past, it mainly focused on overseas markets, but in recent years, it has gradually shifted its focus to the domestic market. As one of the classics in the market, its bone conduction headphones are notable for their high pricing.
Mojawa Mojue:
Founded: 2021
For this new product, in general, the configuration is relatively high. However, compared with the old brands Nanka and Shokin, this product is slightly inferior in terms of professionalism and strength. In practical use, especially in terms of waterproof performance and touch operation, there are some obvious gaps that need to be further strengthened. The sound quality tuning also gives people a feeling of not being professional enough.
Multi-dimensional evaluation of bone conduction headphones
Below I will bring you the popular styles of these three brands, namely Nanka Runner 3, Shokin OpenRun Pro, and Mojue Run Plus, which are three evaluation modes from different angles.

In order to ensure wearing comfort, Nanka has carried out strict sampling of human ear data, collected more than 8,000 human ear data, and carried out fine classification and subdivision. This data becomes the basis for product development, process and technological innovation. The overall design has good flexibility and adapts to different groups of people, even users with glasses can wear it comfortably without any conflict. The headphones are very light on the ear, with little to no weight and excellent stability. When running outdoors, there is no slippage at all. The silicone material used on the ear is very skin-friendly and comfortable, and there is no discomfort when worn for a long time.
Shokin OpenRun Pro
The design of this headset from Shokin is more suitable for users with small head circumferences, because the model design of the headphones is relatively small. In addition, the exterior of the body is wrapped in a lightweight silicone material, which makes the overall wearing feel very light and does not cause too much pressure on the ears. However, it should be noted that since the sides of the ear are not covered with silicone, it may bring some discomfort after wearing it for a long time, so it is best not to wear it for too long at once while exercising.
Mojue runplus
Runplus earphones are designed to be worn with a longitudinal cabin, and the overall stability is good, and it is not easy to fall, but after using it for a period of time, you may feel a feeling of pinching your ears, and there may be some discomfort when wearing it for a long time, especially for a long time at one time.
[Sound quality performance test].

PassedThe hard work of 23 listenersThe sound quality of the Runner 3 has been significantly improved, and the overall sound performance is more textured, especially in the vocal part, showing a clearer and more delicate effect.
In addition, Runner 3 was introduced:The industry's well-known OT closed sound leakage reduction technology 30PassedAll-in-one fuselage designClosed cavity structure and intelligent reverse acoustic wave technology, completely solves the problem of sound leakage, and provides a more private and immersive experience.
Shokin OpenRun Pro
The OpenRun Pro headphones have been successfully improved by adopting a specially designed mesh cavity structure on both sides and introducing SHOKZ Turbopitch low-frequency enhancement technology. This innovative design makes the low-frequency sound quality more prominent, and the sound is more calm and resilient.
However, it is important to note that there may be significant sound leakage and vibration at high frequencies**, especially in indoor environments, and it is advisable to turn the volume down to mitigate this effect.
Mojue runplus
Wideband oscillator sounding technology is used, and the overall sound quality is at a medium level. Midrange sound quality is good, with a good sense of rhythm, but there may be fuzzy sound in the low frequencies, and noticeable sound leakage in the high frequencies**. Overall, these headphones don't require high sound quality, and are suitable for listening to the rhythm while exercising**.
[Waterproof effect test].
Test Results:
South Carolina: Shokin:
Mo Jue:South Carolina runner 3
The South Carolina Runner 3 is truly waterproof, with an IP68 rating and multiple waterproof designs, including nano coating, IPX8 waterproof rating, and microphone protective plugs. This design makes the headphones safe to use in underwater activities, such as swimming, cycling and other extreme sports, without worrying about being affected by water. It is worth mentioning that it is also equipped with exclusive underwater sound effects to provide a high-quality ** experience while swimming.
2. Shokin OpenRun Pro
The Shokin OpenRun Pro earphones adopt an open-hole design of sound drivers on both sides, which limits its waterproof ability to a certain extent. Its waterproof rating is IPX5, which means that the headphones are able to withstand sweat during general exercise and light outdoor rain. However, for those users who sweat a lot during exercise, this headset may not be the best choice.
3. Mojue runplus
The runplus headphones are IP68 waterproof, allowing a certain degree of resistance to water splashes and sweat intrusion, and can even be worn while swimming. However, after actual testing, it feels like the waterproof level of this headset is still a little different, and it is not suitable for wearing it underwater for too long. In addition, it uses a touch design, which leads to false touch and insensitivity when sweating heavily or when used underwater, which needs to be strengthened in design.
Summary:
The above is a comprehensive evaluation, through a comprehensive comparison of these bone conduction headphones, we can clearly see which product is more cost-effective and applicable.
Mojue's headphones still have room for improvement in many aspects, especially the sound quality and touch design, and they are relatively high. We look forward to improving it in future releases.
Shokin's products need to be improved in terms of improving waterproofing performance and other configurations to better match their best points. It is expected that Shokin will be upgraded and optimized in future products.
Unlike this, Nanka's runner 3 has excellent performance in terms of performance, technology, multi-scenario use and **, especially **close to the people and super cost-effective. This headset impresses in terms of overall experience and is a bone conduction headphone that is worth recommending.
