Why We Began?
While other headphones chase an isolated listening experience, we’re chasing something altogether different…
In modern society, people choose to wear noise-cancelling headphones to help block out the ambient noise around them. However, this also blocks communication between people and blocks the noise of traffic, so people are less aware of the safety of their surroundings.
Shokz believes in a different vision of the future. A vision that brings people together, one that allows you to keep your ears open and hear what is going on around you. This is why we created our Open-Ear Bone Conduction Headphones.

Mission?
We are always seeking ways to improve people’s life experiences through bone conduction technology. We strive to be a sustainable company and to contribute to a world that listens more.
Why Us?
Shokz is the world’s leading pioneer in bone conduction technology. Bone conduction transducers guide micro-vibrations through your cheekbones to your inner ears, delivering sound without plugging or covering the ears themselves. So our headphones let the outside in, helping to keep you safe, whilst also allowing you to enjoy a personal listening experience.
With up to 1000+ patent applications, we are always innovating to bring even more mind-blowing listening experiences!
