Best Bone Conduction Headphones (2026): Shokz, Suunto, Mojawa

Shokz has long been a leader in bone conduction headphones, although there were a few flaws with the first generation OpenSwim, which did not have Bluetooth. OpenSwim Pro fixes this, making it a better choice than just swimming.

Whether you play via Bluetooth or use a 32-GB music player, the OpenSwim Pro offers great sound quality. It delivers incredible bass and warmth, as well as the clarity needed for audiobooks and phones.

With standard and bath EQ modes, you can easily adjust the sound of land or water. IP68 waterproof provides strong protection against sweat and water, while silicone and titanium on the neck provide comfort and a comfortable fit.

The headphones have easy-to-reach controls and a battery that lasts up to nine hours when streaming via Bluetooth, or six hours when using the music player. While the OpenSwim Pro may not be the Shokz model, it hits the mark in terms of sound, design, and functionality, putting it in a coveted spot at the top of my list.
