CES brings us the Shokz OpenSwim Pro

CES offered the debut of the Shokz OpenSwim Pro, the brand’s newest IP68 swimming waterproof bone-conduction sports headphone with both Bluetooth and MP3 listening capabilities.

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.”

Some key features include:

8th generation bone conduction technology to deliver high quality sound through your cheekbone while you swim/workout.

Battery lasts up to 9 hours with a quick charge feature that allows only 5 minutes of charge time that will give you up to 90 minutes of listening time.

Uses Bluetooth v5.3 and can also be used in MP3 mode if desired.

OpenSwim Pro is expected to launch later this year.
