SHOKZOpenSwim Pro - Open-Ear Bluetooth Headphones & 32GB MP3 Player, IP68 Waterproof, Bone Conduction Headphones, Secure Fit for Workouts, Running and Swimming, Built-in Microphone, App, GreyCarbonfree Certified

These are a product that I'm shocked (no pun intended) at how much they have changed the game for swimming (and other activities). For background, I'm no expert swimmer, but am an Ironman triathlete (completed 4 full length). These have changed my entire outlook on training. Fairly easy to setup. Charge, familiarize yourself with the controls, and get used to the feeling on headphones not in your ear.Swimming: Absolute game changer. Make sure you change the setting to MP3 setting, bluetooth doesn't work underwater. You can download the app and connect to your phone, but I would recommend knowing the button controls. Once you dial in the swim settings, side load MP3s, get into a comfortable position, it's absolute magic. Some of the reviews mention can't hear out of water - settings must be off, bluetooth must be on, something is wrong. AGAIN - MP3 mode, swim EQ mode, and your are golden. I have swam 6000 meters over the last 2 weeks, and listening to music flawlessly. Even between sets. Freestyle, other strokes, pool, open water. Barely tell they are on, no discomfort with goggles, cap, etc.Running/Cycling:-Again, make sure mode is back out of swim EQ mode, and the sound quality is better. Hitting 30MPH on the bike you will experience some wind noise, but still better then one headphone (I previously used one right ear air pod or one wired apple headphone as the AirPods would come lose or die on long rides). These eliminate all that stress with better sound quality 90% of the time.-Make sure back into bluetooth mode and you can stream anything from phone.Some quirks that were basically only annoying:-The controls aren't the same for each Shokz model. When searching online be careful to learn the controls for FF, Rew, skip song, etc. Some trial and error and using I'm now familiar.-The charge and data transfer cable is proprietary. I got some Shokz 710 to usb adapters so I'm not out of luck when traveling or can't find the proprietary cable.-Sideloading MP3s for non-bluetooth mode is kind of annoying, which I knew it was going to be but it's not entirely clear. We are heavy spotify and Amazon music users. We have thousands of songs in our libraries, but those songs can only be downloaded if the song or album is actually purchased (OUTSIDE OF THE MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION). Turns out only 300 of our 10K songs were purchased over the years, which highly limits what can be downloaded and trasnferred for MP3/Swim mode. There are some hacky ways to convert podcasts to MP3s, etc. but it's not super easy.-The battery life isn't quite as great as the Open Pro 2 that my wife as , but it's sufficient. The charger on those is USB C as well, which I'm sure the next generation of will convert to.If you are on the fence, figure out the purchasing of MP3s and these work well for swimming. If you won't use for swimming get the non open swim version with USB C charging. If you ever will swim with these or will do any training in the pool - ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER.

These are a must working in industrial environments. practically indestructible, can handle repeated drops no problem, water proof. Since these work by bone conduction, I can wear these and ear plugs at the same time. When you pair them with earplugs they do get much louder and are slightly muffled, they sound very good without earplugs. This combo lets me protect my hearing, and listen to tunes and hear notifications and calls. Absolutely superb. Fits well with ppe like hardhats and safety glasses. Fitting it in with a respirator is tricky but doable. The volume buttons are a little small for use with gloves. The battery easily lasts a full shift. I like the magnetic charger.

These Bluetooth headphones far exceeded my expectations. As a person with autism, going out my day to day is hard without some music playing in the background of my ears. I’ve tried many different types of Bluetooth headphones but these exceed all of them. Their battery life is insane. I sawn with them for around three hours and they only went down to 90%. I feel asleep with them on after wards and woke up 6 hours later and they only dropped down to 60%. By far the best battery life I have ever seen. Would 100% recommend

Just purchased these and after receiving them was on the fence on whether to return them, or not. Reasons were price, will i really enjoy listening to music while swimming laps vs not, finally was looking at the reviews and seeing some people having audio issues while swimming. So I went ahead and kept them. Loaded up my music to the Shokz openswim pro's, and charged them. This morning I went to the gym to swim some laps in the pool and love these headphones. A couple of things to remember. You have to have the headphones in MP3 in order to select swim mode. Basically the swim mode eq takes out the bass. In addition, make sure you are using ear plugs. I actually use the putty ear plugs. Overall, happy with these headphones and do enjoy listening to music while swimming laps :-)
