Shokz Headphones at Everyday Home Living
Shokz (formerly AfterShokz) is a technology company that pioneered bone conduction headphone technology for consumer use. Rather than placing speakers over or in the ear canal, Shokz headphones rest on the cheekbones in front of the ears and transmit sound through vibration directly to the cochlea, leaving the ear canal completely open. This design allows wearers to hear both their audio and their surrounding environment simultaneously, making Shokz headphones uniquely suited to outdoor exercise, cycling, running, and any activity where maintaining environmental awareness is important for safety.
Shokz OpenMove
The OpenMove is the accessible entry point into the Shokz range, offering bone conduction audio with Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, 6 hours of battery life, and a lightweight open-ear design. It is water-resistant (IP55) and suited to everyday walking, commuting, and light exercise use. The OpenMove is a strong choice for Australian commuters who want to stay aware of traffic and public transport announcements while listening to music or podcasts.
Shokz OpenRun
The OpenRun steps up in battery life (8 hours), water resistance (IP67), and performance headband design suited to running, cycling, and higher-intensity exercise. The quick-charge function provides 1.5 hours of playback from 10 minutes of charging. The OpenRun is the most popular Shokz model for Australian runners and cyclists, offering a stable, comfortable fit at speed without the ear canal occlusion and sweating issues of in-ear designs.
