Bone conduction or sealed sport earbuds for running?

Reviewer consensus

It depends on priorities. Reviewers recommend bone-conduction and open-ear designs (Shokz OpenRun, OpenMove) when safety and awareness matter most, especially for road running. Sealed sport earbuds like the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 win on sound quality, bass, and noise cancelling, and verified testers rate their hooked fit as very secure, but they isolate you from your environment.
