SHOKZ OpenSwim Pro – Open-Ear Bluetooth & MP3 Bone Conduction Sport Headphones, Swimming Headphones, IP68 Waterproof, Grey

Swimming is entertaining again!
I have been trying to find anything to break the boredom of pool lap swimming. But Bluetooth does not work under water and all the other solutions I’ve found are wired headphones in a waterproof package, basically. These headphones stay in place for the swim (I dive in and they are still in place) and provide great sound quality. They fit securely to my head without hurting it and they are comfortable either over the ears when I’m listening or around my neck, just waiting to be used. Battery life seems great – I haven’t had a time when I’ve run them down during my gym or swim time yet. The controls are simple to use and easy to remember – you don’t have to spend a lot of time fiddling with the buttons or trying to figure out what to do. Turn it on, turn it off, play music (or any mp3), skip ahead, skip back, volume up and down, all with just three buttons. I love these headphones and will buy another set if these evert die on me. Great value for the price and what you get!

Swimming is BETTER. Period.
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.

Sportif régulier j’ai eu pas mal d’écouteurs filaires et sans fil ( Bragi Dash / Jabra Sport Pulse / JBL Reflect Mini NC TWS )J’ai eu l’occasion de tester ces écouteurs et ils sont bluffant sous l’eau par leur qualité sonore.Ils ont également une bonne autonomie tant que l’on ne mets pas le son au maximum.Ils sont également très bon pour la course à pied et permettent d’écouter de la musique tout en discutant avec une personne à côté de soi, et ils sont sécurisant permettant de rester averti de son environnent.Ils sont assez bon pour faire du vélo mais un peu + limités dans le sens où le vent viens créer du bruit dans l’oreille.

This applies to the OpenSwim Pro. They have both bluetooth and MP3 functions.I swim every day with these using the MP3 player.I tried four different cheaper brands initially. They all malfunctioned within a couple of months and Amazon refunded.So I bit the bullet and bought the OpenSwim Pro.They are excellent.The controls are well thought out.The sound is better quality than the others.The volume is better, so I can swim laps without earplugs.Make sure you get the version with Bluetooth since they are excellent for a lot of other uses like shopping centres or intermittent listening as you don’t need to get them out of a little case – they virtually live around my neck. They are almost weightless. You can hear clearly both the podcast and the outside world.I have had these for almost two months and look forward to a good life from them.One thing – the microphone is not great but I expect that comes with being waterproof. Everything else about them is perfect
