Shokz continues to lead the bone conduction headphone sector, and the OpenSwim Pro is no different. It addresses the absence of Bluetooth streaming present in the first-generation OpenSwim, making it perfect for more than just swimming activities.

Whether you are streaming through Bluetooth or using the integrated 32-GB music player, the OpenSwim Pro offers outstanding open-ear sound. It features surprising bass and warmth, along with the clarity necessary for audiobooks and phone calls.

Adaptable to both standard and swimming EQ settings, the audio can be tailored for land or aquatic environments. With an IP68 waterproof rating, it effectively protects against sweat and water, while the silicone and titanium neckband guarantees comfort and a secure fit.

Boasting easy-to-reach physical controls, the battery lasts up to nine hours during Bluetooth streaming or six hours with the internal music player. Although it is not Shokz’s top-tier model, the OpenSwim Pro stands out in sound quality, design, and performance, securing a high rank on my list.
