Shokz, known for its bone-sound technology, is bringing the OpenSwim Pro back to the market with revised features. The new sports headphones combine wireless charging, improved app control and flexible playback options – making them even more versatile than their predecessors. Athletes who value safety, comfort and independence in particular will benefit from the updates.
- Wireless charging design in line with new EU regulations
- Bluetooth and MP3 mode can be combined in one device
- IP68-certified for two hours in up to two meters of water
- 32 GB memory and up to nine hours of battery life
More convenience thanks to wireless charging
One of the most striking new features of the OpenSwim Pro is the wireless charging design. This means that Shokz not only meets the current EU requirements for standardized charging connections, but also focuses on greater user-friendliness. Charging becomes less complicated and more sustainable as fewer special cables are required. This change is a practical step, especially for athletes who often need to charge their devices on the go.
At the same time, Shokz has also improved the integration of its own app with a firmware update. Users can now create, organize and select playlists directly. This function provides more control over the listening experience and makes it possible to customize the music collection depending on the type of training or mood. Together with the wireless charging option, Shokz underlines the claim to make the OpenSwim Pro not only functional but also convenient.
Flexible use on land and in the water
The OpenSwim Pro mark a milestone in the history of Shokz as they combine Bluetooth streaming and MP3 playback in one device for the first time. This means that the headphones can be used for classic training sessions with a smartphone connection as well as for activities without a mobile device. The integrated 32 GB memory really comes into its own when swimming or in situations where a cell phone gets in the way.
The IP68 certification guarantees that the headphones are waterproof for up to two hours at a depth of two meters. This makes them suitable not only for lane swimming, but also for longer training sessions in open water. At the same time, the bone-sound technology offers an open listening experience, leaving the ears free to hear ambient noise. For runners or cyclists, this means additional safety, while swimmers benefit from the combination of sound quality and water protection.
The rechargeable battery provides up to nine hours of battery life, allowing for longer training sessions or excursions without interruption. The Shokz app also makes it easy to switch between Bluetooth V5.4 and MP3 mode, while multipoint pairing allows you to connect two devices simultaneously. The whole thing is complemented by equalizer modes that individually adjust the sound profile.
Conclusion
With the return of the OpenSwim Pro, Shokz has once again raised the bar for waterproof sports headphones. The combination of wireless charging, dual playback mode, improved app control and robust construction makes the headphones a versatile choice for sports on land and in the water. With 32 GB of memory and nine hours of battery life, users don’t have to compromise between independence and connectivity.
The OpenSwim Pro are available now on the Shokz website, Amazon and in stores.
