Shokz brings Bluetooth versatility with OpenSwim Pro waterproof open-ear headphones

Shokz, renowned for its open ear headphones with patented bone conduction technology, has announced the upcoming launch of OpenSwim Pro, the brand’s first Bluetooth and MP3 compatible sports headphone made with bone-conduction technology.

OpenSwim Pro has an open ear design and ultra-lightweight frame making it the ultimate multi-sport headphone. OpenSwim Pro allows users to maintain situational awareness, while listening to their favourite music in any environment, whether that’s swimming, running, or cycling. Its versatility extends beyond sport; perfect for interacting with friends, colleagues, and family.

The OpenSwim Pro headphones have a flexible Nickel-Titanium alloy frame, combining a soft silicone material and a biofit design that does not obstruct other garments such as a swimming cap or goggles. With a simple press of a button, or via the Shokz app, users can easily switch modes between Bluetooth streaming and MP3 listening.

Vincent Xiong, Chief Executive Officer at Shokz, said: “We know that swimmers love our existing OpenSwim headphones, but our most requested feature was the ability to utilize Bluetooth out of the water as well. We’re incredibly proud to launch the OpenSwim Pro, in what is our most versatile headphone to date. 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.”

Designed with Shokz’ PremiumPitch^TM 2.0+ technology, the headphones produce clear sound, powerful volume, and a rich bass. Maintaining sound quality in every environment, the OpenSwim Pro headphones have two EQ modes – a standard mode and vocal mode. Ensuring the audio quality is also sustained and clear, OpenSwim Pro also works for phone calls, designed with four in-built microphones, and is enabled with echo cancellation. It has 32GB of MP3 memory, allowing users to store up to 8,000 of their favourite songs.

OpenSwim Pro has an IP68 rating, allowing users to use their headphones for up to two hours submerged in two meters of water. Users can also expect up to nine hours of battery life, combined with quick charging. It transitions seamlessly between devices, thanks to its multipoint pairing and the use of Bluetooth v5.4 providing a quick and stable connection.
