Are bone-conduction headphones good enough for running?

For situational awareness, the consensus is strongly yes. Reviewers across specialist running and audio communities praise open-ear and bone-conduction designs like the Shokz lineup for letting you hear traffic and surroundings, and for staying secure during runs. The trade-off raised repeatedly is sound: bone conduction lacks deep bass, and several reviewers note volume can struggle against loud ambient noise such as a busy highway.
