Unlike audio giants such as Bose or Sennheiser, the Shokz company has been marketing, since its creation in 2011, open headphones that work thanks to bone conduction technology.
Specifically, the latter allows sound to be transmitted “directly to the bones next to the ears. This does not obstruct them and allows you to have a safe, stable and hygienic experience,” says Peter Li, manager of Shokz France, a guest at Tech&Co this Wednesday February 15th.
Available in several models, the open-face helmets developed by Skokz completely free the ears, allowing the user to be constantly aware of their surroundings when engaging in outdoor activity such as cycling. Also, the audio products developed by Shokz, if they are entertaining, can also be useful in a more professional environment.
While some models are suitable for sports, like the OpenRun Pro helmet, others, like the OpenComm, give pride of place to communication. Likewise, “our products are used by the employees of the Carrefour and Renault stores”. This allows them to be in contact with each other and, at the same time, “to be able to hear the noises and signals from the machines, which is very important for their safety,” says Peter Li.
Well established, Shokz intends to continue to develop its range of items. “Currently we have 3,000 employees and 20% of them are dedicated to research and development to improve sound quality,” says Peter Li.
