I've used Shokz, but I find things like the glasses to sound much better. I currently use the Bose Frames Tempo. Still not great bass, as to be expected, but I don't feel like it's completely missing like the bone conduction.

And yea, any pass through type headphone is just not the same as open ears.

I often listen to those Nike Run Club couching sessions and there is often a guy talking through the session, and I can clearly hear what he says, so they should be fine with audio books too.

One thing to consider though is the amount of noise or traffic where you run. I normally run through fields, so it’s very quite, but indeed when I need to go through a couple of noise roads I need to volume up quite a bit to distinctively understand what he says

I’m using an older model from Shokz https://shokz.com/ It seems that now they sell newer models and different sizes, but mine would compre to the “openrun” model I guess.

I prefer them to the AirPods Pro (with transparency mode) or other in-ear when I run. Of course, as mentioned in other comments, the music quality is not what you are looking for here…

I like them because they are very stable, they allow you to hear everything around, and there is never that weird deep sound that sometimes you have with in-ear when you walk, which I really hate.

Hmm. How do we stick a camera in front of all the streamers? Oh, I got an idea, let’s create a useless feature and make people think it’s necessary. A camera in every single device, inside vacuums, doorbells, fridges, TVs, and every single home by end of 2023. Every persons every move tracked for the rest of their existence. Welcome to surveillance state. NWO in full effect. Let’s gooooo

“And in her ears the little Seashells, the thimble radios tamped tight, and an electronic ocean of sound, of music and talk and music and talk coming in, coming in on the shore of her unsleeping mind. The room was indeed empty. Every night the waves came in and bore her off on their great tides of sound, floating her, wide-eyed, toward morning. There had been no night in the last two years that Mildred had not swum that sea, had not gladly gone down in it for the third time.”

Haha they're both running RTX 3080s. It typically doesn't get crazy hot in the summer here in Ohio except for a couple weeks, so I tend to open all of the windows in the house and have fans running to keep it cool. On the very hot days in the 90s, I'll kick on the AC and it does fine. I don't keep any temperature sensors in or around the office so while the rest of the house will be about 72, it stays in the upper 70s in the office.

Unthinkable for a basshead like me. But if it works for you then that's perfect. I use passtrough on mine and have the volume relatively low, so while not as safe its still safe. Though, I don't run, I only walk to and from work in a pedestrian area
