INTERESTED IN WHAT GEAR WE USE?
The question comes in from time to time and we have put together some lists of gear that we use both in the studio and when we are mobile. You can find it all here: www.amazon.com...
Last but not least, thank you for watching!

The big question is around getting your music onto the device. Having to plug it into to your computer is a real pain - can you use blue tooth to do that? 🤔
The 1 million dollar question: Will it have rewind feature for MP3s? Otherwise it is very bad experience to listen to podcasts or audiobooks
rewind feature for MP3s would be nice
Can we even hear music that well underwater? Lol And its IP 68 so can we just swim for only 30 min at a time? And, while this is a great new update i just hope the speaker quality of midrange and bass are more premium than the originals.
What is the Bluetooth Kodak?
Why can’t use BT underwater?
Bluetooth frequency has a hard time passing through water, cutting its range down to inches vs several feet. -- James H.
Some people put a smartwatch in their swim cap right next to waterproof BT headphones and have reported it's possible to use BT that way (with spotify/what-have-you streaming from watch memory). It's obviously not optimal as you'd either need a second smartwatch (and a bunch of extra money lol) or you'd lose your lap count/heartrate monitoring, but I've heard it's at least possible.
That being said, mp3/onboard storage on the headphones themselves would be the more reliable option regardless. Though it does suck how most people just use streaming apps these days and actual music file ownership is a lot less common/straightforward. Would be great to have a shokz app that you can upload spotify playlists to and it would treat them as onboard files/folders/albums on the headphones, the same way smartwatches handle it. I'm sure it's possible, but probably costs extra for licensing or what-have-you so they'll just do the cheapest/most straight forward option (despite everyone now just using, and paying monthly for streaming options...)
Lets hope it is lighter, more battery life, better quality sound, and bass, and better materials than the Open Pro with an updated Bluetooth and Audio codecs
That colors...really not my thing
