Underwater Headphones (Tegan's Shokz Openswim Pro Review)

So this is a review, right? Specifically of the Shox, that's the KZ open swim headphones, for want of a better word.

And I've never gotten to try these types of headphones before, which is exciting.

They're bone conducting headphones.

Oh, Oh, so the ones that rely on the vibration of your skull in order to have you hear the music, which is so metal, honestly.

It's so

cool.

I love it so much.

That was really exciting for me just from a product category perspective.

And I just also was very interested in the fact that these were designed specifically for swimming and to work underwater.

So that being said, obviously this means they are not general purpose products.

headphones okay at all because they are very very specific now shocks do do i think i call it open running as well so similar things for running things like that but the main difference here that is very important is that bluetooth does not work underwater

yeah i was gonna say how do you even listen to anything do you have your phone at the end of the pool how does it transmit what's going on

Yes.

So you can have your phone at the end of the pool and there is an app so you can control them from the app.

But that doesn't really help you in the pool, obviously.

You can touch the side to do things like volume, start, stop, that kind of thing.

It's pretty pared back, but you don't need a whole lot in a pool, obviously.

But the fact that it is so deeply specific and you don't have Bluetooth, which means that streaming doesn't work, makes this a very specific type of product.

And that has pros and cons.

Are you that specific kind of person? Are you managing with these okay? Yeah,

absolutely.

I think that if the more that I swim, definitely.

I think that if you were to casually pick these up, especially considering the price point, they're maybe not for you.

And there are a few reasons for that, but I thought maybe we should start with some specs, right? Yay.

Give me the spec sheet.
