Audio brand Shokz, best known for its range of bone conduction and running earbuds, has revealed a pair of sporty headphones designed chiefly for swimmers and fitness fanatics alike at CES 2024. The new OpenSwim Pro are the company's first Bluetooth and MP3-compatible sports headphones made using bone conduction technology, featuring an open ear design and a lightweight nickel and titanium alloy frame which Shokz claims make them "the ultimate multisport headphones".
That means that the Bluetooth 5.3-enabled OpenSwim Pro aren't restricted simply to swimming, and can be used for any physical activity you care to mention, including running, cycling or hiking. That said, the OpenSwim are well-furnished to deal with the rigours of underwater exercise, boasting an IP68 waterproof rating which grants users up to two hours of submerged listening in up to two metres of water, while up to nine hours of battery life should keep you going for miles (or metres) at a time.
