The Shokz OpenSwim Pro White is the clean, light-coloured version of the Shokz swimming headset. It sends sound through the cheekbones by bone conduction, so your ears stay open, and it switches between two jobs: Bluetooth 5.4 headphones for runs and rides, and a stand-alone MP3 player with 32GB of storage for the pool, where Bluetooth cannot reach. Shokz rates it IP68 for submersion in fresh water to 2 metres, with up to 9 hours of playback in Bluetooth mode and up to 6 hours in MP3 mode.

Who picks white
White is the colour for swimmers who like their kit to match: it sits neatly with a white or light swim cap, pale goggles and summer training gear, and it looks fresh rather than technical on a morning run. In a pool it is easy to see against dark water, and it is the easiest of the three colours to find at the bottom of a dark kit bag. The care is simple: chlorine, salt and sunscreen can leave a faint film on any silicone and it shows a little sooner on white, so rinse the Shokz OpenSwim Pro White in fresh water after every swim and wipe it dry. If you want the most discreet option, Grey hides marks best; Red is the high-visibility choice.
MP3 in the water, Bluetooth on land
Water blocks Bluetooth, so the Shokz OpenSwim Pro White carries its own 32GB memory. Before a swim you copy your files to it with the magnetic cable, switch to MP3 mode and leave your phone in the locker. Shokz estimates about 8,000 regular-quality or 4,000 high-quality songs, and notes that usable storage is a little lower because of system files. Supported formats include MP3, FLAC, WAV, AAC, M4A, APE and WMA. Out of the pool the headset becomes a normal Bluetooth 5.4 headphone with multipoint, so it can stay paired to a phone and a watch or laptop together.
Waterproofing: what IP68 means here
Shokz rates the Shokz OpenSwim Pro White IP68 for submersion in fresh water up to 2 m. That covers lap swimming and open-water training, but Shokz does not recommend diving with it, and after sea swims it should be rinsed in fresh water. For the best sound underwater Shokz suggests wearing the supplied swimming earplugs and choosing the Swimming EQ mode in the app, which is tuned for listening with plugged ears. On land, leave the earplugs out and you hear traffic and people around you as usual.
Battery and the magnetic cable
Shokz quotes up to 9 hours in Bluetooth mode and up to 6 hours in MP3 mode, with a full charge in about 1.5 hours. Instead of an open USB-C port the Shokz OpenSwim Pro White uses a 4-pin magnetic cable, which keeps the body sealed against water and also handles music transfer from a computer. A normal USB-C cable will not fit, so keep the supplied cable with the headset; for a week of morning swims plus a couple of runs, one charge usually goes a long way.
Fit, comfort and the app
The headset weighs 27.3 g, according to Shokz. A nickel-titanium alloy band covered in silicone wraps behind the head and holds the transducers in front of the ears, and it sits comfortably under a swim cap. Nothing enters the ear canal on land, which makes it a sensible choice for triathletes who want one headset for swim, bike and run. The Shokz app switches between Bluetooth and MP3 modes, sets multipoint and EQ, shows battery level and installs firmware updates. In the box: the headset, a 4-pin magnetic charging cable, swimming earplugs, a silicone carry case and user instructions.
Who This Is Not For
The Shokz OpenSwim Pro White cannot stream from your phone while you swim, because Bluetooth does not work underwater; you need your own audio files loaded onto it, and DRM-protected downloads from streaming apps will not play in MP3 mode. Shokz advises against diving, bone conduction has lighter bass than in-ear earbuds, charging needs the proprietary magnetic cable, and the white silicone shows chlorine and sunscreen film sooner than grey.
