Shokz Bone Conduction Headphones

Shokz (formerly known as AfterShokz) is a pioneering technology brand renowned for its bone conduction audio technology. By transmitting sound waves through the cheekbones directly to the inner ear, the brand has revolutionized the way athletes and outdoor enthusiasts consume audio while remaining aware of their surroundings. The brand's focus on safety and comfort has established it as a leader in the open-ear headphone market.

Founded in Shenzhen, China, the brand has grown from a specialized startup into a global powerhouse in the consumer electronics sector. While its major research, development, and high-tech manufacturing facilities are centralized in China, the brand maintains a significant corporate presence in the United States and other international markets to manage global distribution and marketing operations.

The brand is owned by Shenzhen Voxtech Co., Ltd., which holds various patents related to bone conduction and acoustic noise-canceling technologies. Despite a rebranding in late 2021 from AfterShokz to Shokz to simplify its identity, the core ownership and technological foundation remain under the Shenzhen-based parent company, which continues to drive innovation in the audio-visual and sports technology sectors.
