Shokz OpenRun Pro

Shokz, formerly known as AfterShokz, is a global leader in bone conduction technology. Founded in 2011, the brand revolutionized the personal audio market by offering open-ear headphones that allow users to maintain situational awareness while listening to music or taking calls. The brand's signature technology uses transducers to send vibrations through the cheekbones directly to the inner ear, bypassing the eardrum.

The products are designed and engineered by the parent company, Shenzhen Voxtech Co., Ltd., which holds thousands of patents related to bone conduction. While the brand has a significant corporate presence in the United States and various regional hubs, the manufacturing of the hardware is primarily carried out in specialized facilities in China. Today, Shokz is the dominant name in the sport-headphone category, particularly among runners, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts.
