Critics' Consensus

“The Shokz OpenSwim delivers excellent waterproofing, comfort, and clear audio for swimmers, but lacks Bluetooth connectivity and is expensive for its limited features. It is a solid choice for dedicated swimmers but less suitable for general use due to its high price and lack of wireless functionality.”

“Perfect for swimmers in particular, the Shokz OpenSwim (formerly known as Aftershokz Xtrainerz) are an appealing set of bone‑conducting headphones. We just wish they had Bluetooth connectivity for those out of the pool times.”
