What It Feels Like To Wear Shokz

There’s more to a good pair of headphones than just sound quality. Besides the bass and range, other factors such as comfort and stability are what make enjoying audio with Shokz so unique. You may have an idea of what bone conduction and open-ear audio sound like, but have you ever tried to describe what wearing Shokz feels like? We’ve got the answer. Check out what Shokz team members have to say about what it feels like to wear their Shokz.


Shokz Make Me Feel Like Superwoman

“Have you ever wished you had enhanced senses like the power to see tiny details from miles away or be confidently prepared to respond to something way before it happens? This is me, all day every day. What’s amazing is that my Shokz actually make me feel like I have enhanced senses! It’s rare you’ll find me without them. Because when I am doing all the things—running, cycling, hiking, coaching, momming, or even just sifting through our mail—I enjoy being connected to my calls, podcasts, audiobooks, and productivity apps without limiting the rest of what I need to be tuned into—sounds of home, things at work and my surroundings. Superwoman status is within reach!” - Kim F., Chief Marketing Officer


Shokz Feel Like Freedom

“Having the freedom to forget you have headphones on without the worries of not hearing what’s going around you is a vibe. I personally have the OpenRun, and being able to freely listen to my music without wires or something physically in my ear is honestly the best.” - Alexis K., Sales


Shokz Feel Safe

“I've tried multiple headphones and none are as comfortable as Shokz, specifically OpenRun. The open-ear concept sets apart Shokz headphones from other headphones because of its comfort and safety features. Oftentimes earbuds would either not fit my ear canal properly or they'd drop multiple times. When wearing Shokz, I don’t have to worry about either of these things! They are also so lightweight to the point of me forgetting they are on my head and I’ve even accidentally slept in them. My favorite part about them, though, is the safety and confidence I feel when wearing them, especially in a public space when exercising. As a woman, the ability to enjoy audio yet still maintain a level of awareness around people gives me a sense of peace.” - Emmy V., Human Resources


Shokz Make Me Feel Grounded

“What I love most about wearing Shokz is how seamlessly they work with a variety of phone applications. Because of how easy it is to stay connected when using Shokz, I actually enjoy even more audio now without feeling like I’m missing out on the outside world. The unmatched comfort only Shokz open-ear headphones can provide heightens the listening experience to a level I haven’t seen matched in the audio industry.” - Mike L., Sales


Shokz Feel Stable

“Wearing Shokz in my day-to-day activities provides a feeling of steadiness and balance. When I am exercising at home or skateboarding on the weekend, I want to be aware of my surroundings and hear everything that’s going on around me. Shokz provides that opportunity to hear your movements, which inevitably for me helps keep me steady and balanced no matter what I’m doing.” - Rex M., Accounting


Shokz Make Me Feel Connected

“Wearing Shokz allows me to feel safe while still being connected. I love to go on long walks through my neighborhood and my Shokz are perfect for that. They allow me to hear what's going on around me, like passing cars and cyclists, that I need to be conscious of while still being able to listen to a podcast or chat on the phone.” - Sonal M., Marketing
