Headphone Diagram & Wearing the Headphones

Your OpenSwim Pro features a magnetic charging port, volume buttons, and a multifunction button.

Tips for Wearing

• Hold the headphones with both hands and position the sound-transmitting parts in front of your ears.
• Do not insert the devices into your ear canal. Proper fit ensures comfort and optimal sound quality.
• When swimming, we recommend using the included earplugs to enhance water-tightness and audio clarity.

Function of Buttons

There are three main buttons on the OpenSwim Pro: the two Volume buttons (+ and -), located beside the magnetic charging port, and the Multifunction button, located on the outside of the left earphone. With their intuitive design, one click allows you to access a whole set of functions.

Power and Volume

• The Volume + button also doubles as a power button.
• To turn on your headphones, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds until the LED light flashes blue.
• To turn them off, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds until the LED light flashes red.
• To check the battery level, ensure you are in standby mode, then press the Volume + or Volume - buttons.
• You can adjust the volume during playback using the same buttons.

Safety Tip: Listening at excessively high volume may damage your hearing. The headphones provide audible alerts when the maximum volume is reached.

Multifunction Button

• Play/pause music: single click.
• Next song: double click.
• Previous song: triple click.
• Answer calls: single click.
• End calls: single click.

Additional Call Functions

• Reject an incoming call: long press the Multifunction button for 2 seconds.
• Manage a second incoming call: long press the Multifunction button to answer the new call and end the first one.
• Mute/Unmute during calls: press and hold both the Volume + and Volume - buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds.

Switching Between Modes and MP3 File Transfer

Switching between MP3 and Bluetooth Mode is quick and easy. Press and hold the Volume + and Volume - buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds until you hear the prompt tone. You can also do this through the Shokz app, which allows you to redefine the buttons.

EQ Modes

• Bluetooth mode: standard mode (balanced) and vocal booster mode (enhances intermediate frequencies for audiobooks, podcasts, etc.).
• MP3 mode: standard mode (balanced for non-underwater scenarios) and swimming mode (specifically for swimming; use earplugs).

To switch EQ modes, press and hold the Volume - button for 2 seconds during music playback until you hear the prompt tone. You can also switch via the Shokz App.

MP3 File Transfer

• Connect the headphones to your computer using the provided magnetic cable.
• A drive named "SWIM PRO" will appear; open it and drag your audio files into the drive.
• Supported formats: MP3, FLAC, WMA, WAV, AAC, M4A, APE.
• Safely eject the disk after transfer.

Music Playback Order: In MP3 mode, press and hold the Multifunction button and Volume + button for 2 seconds until prompt confirms change.

File Transfer Tip: Do not forcibly interrupt transfer; it may damage the headphones.

Downloading the Shokz App

The Shokz App allows you to check battery life in real time, change EQ modes, manage multipoint pairing, switch MP3 playback order, and receive firmware updates. It provides the best way to customize your audio experience.
