Suitable for all skill levels, this headset excels in training sessions, leisure swims, or competitive events, making it a must-have accessory for anyone passionate about water activities.
- Who it's for
- Swimmers and endurance athletes (e.g., 24-hour track or international races) who want music without carrying a phone. Lap swimmers who already use Shokz bone-conduction headphones and want a waterproof version.
- What people are saying
- Hosts praise the built-in MP3 storage as a standout feature — no phone or separate MP3 player needed. Notes are uniformly positive; no criticism is raised.
- Worth noting
- Full submersion (pool use) requires music to be loaded directly onto the device in MP3 mode; Bluetooth streaming is not available underwater. Battery life is 6 hours in MP3 mode.
Julyssa Martinez's review
I love the waterproof version of Shoks because they function just like the original version and when I want to lap swim, I can also use them in the pool. If you’re fully submerged in water you will need to download music MP3 style.
