I really don't get along with having my ears covered whilst exercising. I love that I'm able to still hear traffic and other people around me whilst wearing these. They're so lightweight I barely know I've got them on. Phone calls are much easier in these too, allowing me to hear how loud I'm talking whilst also getting on with other tasks. I don't often write reviews but I could go on about these for weeks. I'm training for some big comps this year and use them all the time, battery life is fantastic. Get them! You wont regret your purchase!

As a product designer, I really gen agitated by small things that don't working in products. OpenSwim Pros are exactly what I needed to ease my career perversion regarding that matter. As someone constantly moving between work, home, and the pool, the OpenSwim Pro has been an absolute game-changer in my day-to-day life. Its combination of comfort, functionality, and versatility makes it one of the best audio investments I’ve made in a long time.

Perspectives on the Product
What really sold me on the OpenSwim Pro is how it adapts seamlessly to my lifestyle. I love that I can wear it at work and still hear my colleagues clearly while listening to music or a podcast. But the best part? I can dive into the pool right after and keep enjoying my playlist without needing to bring my phone along. Whether I’m working at my desk, going for a swim, or doing tasks around the house, these headphones just work. That level of versatility is rare and exactly what I needed.

User Experience
The overall experience has been surprisingly smooth and polished. The buttons are incredibly responsive – no awkward mashing or guesswork. The instructions were straightforward, and I didn’t feel the need to dig around online to figure things out. Charging is simple and secure; the magnetic charger stays put even when I toss it into my bag with a power bank – no random disconnections or frustration there. That might seem like a small thing, but when you're always on the move, it matters.

Features I Love
Two standout features make the OpenSwim Pro shine for me: Flawless multi-device switching. Unlike a lot of Bluetooth devices that either refuse to connect or latch onto the wrong thing, this one gets it right. I can switch between my phone, laptop, or watch with zero hassle due to just keeping it simple and allowing you to connect to one at a time. Manual but effective. I also enjoy the built-in MP3 player. This is a lifesaver, especially when I don’t have my phone on hand – like during swim sessions. I can still listen to music without worrying about signal issues or dragging extra tech into the water.

Shopping Experience
Buying the OpenSwim Pro was effortless. The online experience was quick, smooth, and straightforward, and delivery came faster than expected. No complications, no unnecessary add-ons or confusion – just what I wanted, when I needed it.

Daily Usage Scenarios
These headphones are in use pretty much all day: At work, I can stay alert to my surroundings while enjoying background music. Very important since I work with machines in workshops so need to hear their various noises for safety. During my swim sessions, I get full sound with zero interruptions – it's honestly the only waterproof headphone I’ve used that doesn’t feel like a compromise. Around the house, they keep me company through chores without cutting me off from the doorbell or conversations.

The Only Negative
I am a female with long hair, and they get a little intertwined with them on a regular basis. I am going for a big chop soon so that will solve the problem, and my hair is quite frizzy which means it will also amplify the problem compared to those with more plaible hair, but that is only the design limitation I see in this product.

Final Thoughts:
If you live an active lifestyle and need a pair of headphones that can keep up – from office to pool to kitchen – the OpenSwim Pro delivers on all fronts. It’s reliable, intuitive, and simply makes life a little more connected without being overwhelming. Highly recommend. I instantly brought a second pair for my father the same week for his workshop endeavours.

Wow, where has this been all my life? These swimming headphones have completely transformed my swim sessions! In just the past two days, I’ve swum 5000 meters — that’s double my usual distance — all thanks to the motivation and pure joy of hearing my favorite tracks underwater.

The sound quality is incredible, both above and below water. It honestly feels surreal — music sounds crystal clear, and it’s just so immersive. Adding songs is super easy: just connect it to your laptop and drag and drop, or copy paste. The app makes pairing with your phone a breeze, and changing settings is quick and seamless.

The fit? Perfect. It stays securely on my ears, even during tumble turns, with zero slipping. The control button is right where you need it — easy to pause, play, or skip tracks mid-stroke.

I truly wish I had discovered this product earlier. I haven’t seen any ads around my local pool, which is surprising — this deserves all the spotlight. My swimming routine used to feel a little flat… now it’s my favorite part of the day.

Before buying, I read a lot of reviews — and let me say, my review is 100% genuine. My product arrived in just 3–5 working days, in perfect condition. The website has plenty of helpful videos that made setup super easy, and everything I needed to know was clearly explained — from how Bluetooth doesn’t work underwater (which is why I went with the MP3 version) to the return policy if you order through another vendor.

Highly recommend this to every swimmer out there. Total game-changer.

I bought these Shokz Open pro due to my mixed sport that I do , from swimming to wheelchair rugby so I need something that would fit my active lifestyle. As a disabled person I struggle with having headphones on or in my ear so having bone conducting headphones has solved the uncomfortable issues I had with previous ones. I love that I can multi connect so I can have my phone connected and to my laptop at same time without missing out on anything whilst listening to music. Battery is very good and I like that at a press of a button it tells you the battery status so you don’t have to worry. The website was very easy to use and I had found all the info I needed except on the MP3 part of the headphones. If you have an iPhone then you will have to buy the music on iTunes then you can select it, go to the top menu and select convert to Mp3, you can then go into your computer files and drag into the Shokz device folder on pc (with the headphones connected to laptop) it was relatively easy once I figured that part out and at 99p a song it wasn’t a massive issue for me

Student triathlete here. My old AirPods just weren’t doing the job, and after seeing Matt Karimer advertise a Shokz discount on his Instagram, I decided to bite the bullet and buy the OpenSwimPro.

So far they have been been everything I need in a headphone - due to the open ear design, I feel safer on my runs and bike rides as I can hear the traffic much clearer while effectively being able to listen to the music. This also means I can have the odd discussion with people without needing to take the headphones off. The biggest game changer for me is the fact that I can use the SwimPros during swimming sessions, which have become a lot more enjoyable as I previously got very bored in the pool.

Shokz have been a huge upgrade on my old AirPods, which would get clogged with sweat/earwax/dirt. This isn’t an issue anymore as the headphones sit externally. I was also concerned about how well they sit on the head, but I’ve done many runs and bike rides now without any placement issues. For swimming, you can tuck the headphones under your goggle strap for extra security. The music sounds louder under water too which is cool.

As a student, I thought the Shokz headphone range was slightly pricey, but since having my own pair I think they are extremely good value for money and a high quality product. Well worth the purchase.
