Frequently Asked Questions

1. Where is Shokz based?

Shokz was established in 2004 in Shenzhen, China. Now, Shokz has sold its pioneering headphones to over seven million people in 60 countries.

2. What Shokz products does Aid Station stock?

At the time of writing, Aid Station stocks Shokz OpenRun PRO (open-ear bone conduction headphones) and Shokz RoadWave (sports audio sunglasses). 

3. What is bone conduction? How exactly do Shokz products work?

Shokz is a world leader in bone conduction technology, which uses vibrations to transmit sound directly to your inner ear through the bones in your upper cheek and jaw. Basically, your inner ear doesn't realise that the sound is coming from the bones instead of the eardrum. This saves you stuffing tiny speakers into your ears – crazy, hey?

4. What are the benefits of Shokz?

One major benefit of Shokz headphones is you're able to listen to music while still being able to hear what's around you. This makes them a great choice for cycling, when you still want to hear cars coming behind you, or running in busy areas or at night.
