Shokz Brings Bluetooth® Versatility with Shokz OpenSwim Pro Waterproof Open-Ear Bone-Conduction Sports Headphones

Place No Limits on Your Sport with First IP68 Fully Waterproof Headphones that Function Equally Well Under Water and on Land

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shokz, known for its open-ear headphones with patented bone conduction technology, today announced OpenSwim Pro, the brand’s first Bluetooth and MP3 capable sports headphone made with bone conduction technology. OpenSwim Pro is the ultimate multisport headphone, built for athletes, with an open-ear design in an ultra-lightweight frame, that allows you to listen to your favorite music while swimming and comfortably stream audio while you run or bike with crystal clarity.

These open-ear headphones have a flexible nickel-titanium alloy frame with a soft silicone material and biofit design promoting a secure fit that works great with a swimming cap and goggles. OpenSwim Pro aren’t just made for swimming - in fact, they’re perfect for interacting with your colleagues, staying connected to your family and friends and keeping you situationally aware and motivated during any workout. With a simple press of a button or in the Shokz app, switch modes easily between Bluetooth streaming and MP3 listening.

“Swimmers love OpenSwim but our most requested feature was the ability to utilize Bluetooth out of the water so they could stream their favorite audio when not in the pool,” said Vincent Xiong, Chief Executive Officer at Shokz. “We couldn’t be prouder to bring Shokz’s recognizable open-ear sound to our most versatile headphone yet, OpenSwim Pro. With both Bluetooth and MP3 capabilities, OpenSwim Pro unlocks an athlete’s full potential and is built to be comfortable, safe and secure in any situation.”
