Bone conduction is a natural part of the hearing process – sound travels through your
eardrums and bones simultaneously. Shokz have taken the concept to the next level through
a suite of proprietary audio technologies and design patents.

  1. Patented transducers create mini vibrations that travel through your cheekbones.
  2. The sound bypasses your eardrums, traveling directly to your inner ears (cochlea).

A reinvented listening experience, through an open ear design. Premium audio, situational
awareness and extreme comfort – second to none. The result: Bone Conduction Technology

In Testing

I choose to be hyper vigilant when it comes to safety while running. The very idea of wearing noise-cancellation headphones when running gives me the shivers. I must confess, my heart is in my mouth when I witness a runner escaping serious injury after a near-miss accident. This is just one of the reasons I love these headphones.

Another joyous bonus is they stay on securely and are super comfy – no nasty digging-in issues. In addition to running, I'm also quite addicted to HIT workouts, and I can guarantee these do not budge during (what seems like) endless burpees, mountain climbers and finishing with a classic downward dog.


Verdict

Easy to use and superb quick charge. The other day I forgot to charge them properly ahead of time before a live-stream class, but not to worry – after 10 minutes of being plugged in, they got me through the hour and more... Simply put, I love these headphones. No fuss, no bother. Just a classy bit of kit.
