Shokz Open-Ear Headphones

Shokz is a leading electronics brand best known for its pioneering role in bone conduction technology, which allows users to listen to audio while remaining aware of their surroundings. Originally founded as AfterShokz in 2011, the brand gained significant traction among athletes and outdoor enthusiasts for its open-ear design that keeps the ear canal unobstructed.

The brand's product lineup has expanded significantly from early bone conduction models like the Titanium and Air to more advanced solutions like the OpenRun, OpenSwim, and the OpenFit series, which uses air conduction (DirectPitch™) technology. The brand rebranded from AfterShokz to Shokz in 2021 to simplify its identity as it moved into more mainstream consumer audio segments.

While Shokz operates global offices and major distribution hubs in the United States and Europe, the brand originates from Shenzhen, China. It is owned and manufactured by Shenzhen Voxtech Co., Ltd., which holds the primary patents for the specialized acoustic technology used in the headsets. The products are manufactured in China and distributed globally through various retail partners and direct-to-consumer platforms.
