Rated IP68 waterproof, the OpenSwim Pro is resistant to sweat and supports water submersion up to 2 metres deep for about 2 hours. It is versatile in various environments for listening to music while swimming in the pool, spending vacation on the beach, having family time in aquatic parks, and more.

In the Water

In MP3 mode, the OpenSwim Pro turns into a headphone with a standalone music playback feature for places where wireless signals can’t penetrate like underwater. The 32 GB MP3 storage allows to store up to 8000 songs to create multiple playlists for different sports, and a 15 mbps fast data transfer speed that was tested to upload up to 225 songs in just 1 minute.

As it inherits the open-ear concept, Shokz OpenSwim Pro is superpowered by PremiumPitch 2.0+, our 8th generation bone conduction technology that provides an immersive listening experience, while the iconic wraparound frame keeps the headphone steady even doing a flip turn underwater or running at full speed to the finish line.

Built sports-optimised, the physical press-buttons stand more practical than touchpads to prevent accidental touches underwater, offering a worry-free listening experience. Seamlessly toggle from MP3 to Bluetooth mode as easy as pressing and holding both volume buttons for seconds.

On the Land

Zooming into Bluetooth mode, it comes in handy to access a wider category of content through audio streaming platforms after pairing it to smartphones or other Bluetooth devices with internet access.

To maximise the versatility of the OpenSwim Pro, the microphones are engineered with custom membranes that are both waterproof and breathable, ensuring that phone calls remain crisp and clear, though keep in mind to let it dry before use if the headphone was submerged for a while.

And, like all bone conduction headphones, the OpenSwim Pro stands out for its comfortable fit during extended listening sessions, while also maintaining situational awareness, which is a major benefit and the fundamental inspiration behind open-ear headphones.
