## What reviewers say

Two whitelisted testers, TechRadar and Tom's Guide, hands-on reviewed the Shokz OpenSwim Pro and rate it among the best bone-conduction headphones for multisport swimmers: comfortable, secure, genuinely waterproof (IP68), with both Bluetooth and 32GB onboard MP3. Both flag weak bass and the lack of USB-C. Neither published lab measurements. (Based on 2 reviews, 2 lab-tested, 2024-06-04–2024-08-04.)

Praised: Comfortable, secure fit that stays put across runs, strength work and swimming; Genuinely waterproof IP68, holds position on pool push-offs; Versatile Bluetooth plus 32GB onboard MP3 for in-water listening; Best-in-class bone-conduction sound, especially impressive submerged.
Flagged: Bass lacks punch; not for audiophiles or pure music streamers; No USB-C; proprietary/regular cable is less convenient; Falls short of rated battery life at high volume; Premium price, joint-most expensive in Shokz's range.
Disagreement: The two split on value: TechRadar rates it 'Competitively priced' (Value 5/5) and a 'comparably affordable' headset, while Tom's Guide calls it 'more expensive than any others I've tested' and lists price as its leading con.
