Part 2. The History of Shokz Leading in the Most Comfortable Headphones Market

The secret ingredient to providing the most comfortable headphone experience is Shokz silicone. Here’s a little more on how this material has evolved over the years:

• 2025: Shokz Ultra-Soft Silicone™ 2.0 – Shokz's Innovative New Soft Silicone Material

From material selection and inspection to production oversight, we spent nearly two years developing Ultra-Soft Silicone™ 2.0. It offers the same safety, non-toxicity, and sustainability as regular silicone, and it’s even softer than Ultra-Soft Silicone™ 1.0. We utilize this material in OpenFit 2, our newest and best earbuds for working out.

• 2023: Shokz Ultra-Soft Silicone™ 1.0 – First in Headphone Industry to Use Material That’s Texturally Similar to Skin

We found that comfort was a major pain point for many users. Therefore, our engineers developed a highly soft and elastic silicone material known as Ultra-Soft Silicone™ 1.0, commonly used to emulate the smooth, soft texture of human skin.

• 2018: Liquid Silicone – High-Precision Automated Molding Process

Shokz began using liquid silicone, a softer material than solid silicone that’s now used as the exterior material for most of Shokz's headphones.

• 2016: Solid Silicone – One-Piece Molding Process

Shokz overcame the engineering challenges of integrating solid silicone, titanium wire, and other delicate components into a compact and functional design, representing a major technological breakthrough in incorporating silicone into bone conduction headphones.
