Shokz

Shokz is an open-ear headphone brand that debuted as AfterShokz in October 2011 and runs its North American headquarters in Austin, Texas, so pick your headphones, then check out through ShopBack before you pay: ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. It sells bone conduction headbands (OpenRun Pro 2, OpenRun, OpenMove), swimming headphones (OpenSwim Pro, OpenSwim), open-ear earbuds (OpenFit and OpenDots) and communication headsets (OpenComm2, OpenMeet2) through shokz.com and retailers such as Costco and Best Buy. Shokz says its products reach more than 7 million people. Click through from the ShopBack Shokz merchant page to earn cashback at the current published rate.

ShokzSquad is Shokz's free loyalty program; you join with an email address and earn points by buying eligible Shokz products and completing your profile. Tiers unlock automatically as active points pass each threshold, and depending on tier you get member-only offers and gifts, extended 90-day returns, birthday treats and entry to marathon trips. Referrals earn points worth half of what your friend earns on a first order of at least US$50, and seven confirmed referrals unlock a free headphone voucher. ShopBack cashback is separate and is activated through the ShopBack Shokz merchant page before checkout.

shokz.com keeps a dedicated Prime Day page and runs launch promotions through the year. Expect the deepest sitewide pricing around Black Friday and Cyber Monday, plus marathon-season tie-ins such as the Chicago Marathon. Verified students can use the Student Beans offer year-round. During Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the sale price is what you pay at checkout. Going through ShopBack before you pay is an essential step, and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback. Check the rate shown on ShopBack's Shokz page before you buy.

Shokz offers a 45-day money-back guarantee on orders placed on shokz.com: submit a request through the US returns center, get a prepaid USPS label by email, and the refund goes to your original payment method within two business days of receipt, minus the original shipping charge. Every new headphone also carries a two-year manufacturer warranty from the purchase date (one year for refurbished units), and registration is no longer required to claim. Returns are not accepted for purchases made at other retailers.

In-ear earbuds such as AirPods Pro seal your ear canal, which is what makes active noise cancelling effective and also what blocks traffic and other runners. All Shokz headphones use an open-ear design, so you hear your surroundings, and Shokz is upfront that OpenFit Pro's noise reduction is milder than in-ear ANC for that reason. If you run or cycle on roads, open-ear is the practical pick; for flights and offices, isolating earbuds win. Only shokz.com purchases earn cashback through the ShopBack Shokz merchant page.

Shokz sells through Costco, Best Buy and other authorized retailers, and the two-year warranty applies to new headphones bought from any of them. The differences are returns and rewards: the 45-day money-back guarantee and ShokzSquad points apply only to orders placed on shokz.com, and Shokz does not process refunds for retailer purchases, which follow that store's own policy. ShopBack cashback is also only available on shokz.com orders made through the ShopBack Shokz merchant page, so compare the retailer's price against the site price plus cashback.

Bone conduction sends sound through your cheekbones instead of through air, which is why Shokz can make headphones that work with your ears underwater. OpenSwim Pro carries an IP68 rating and has both an MP3 mode with onboard storage and Bluetooth for dry land, while the original OpenSwim is MP3 only because Bluetooth does not travel through water. Other lines are water-resistant for sweat and rain but are not swim headphones. Both swim models earn ShopBack cashback when bought on shokz.com.

Orders placed on shokz.com before 11 AM Central ship the same business day; later orders ship the next business day. Standard shipping is free and takes 4 to 7 business days after dispatch, while Express is 2 to 3 business days at a carrier-calculated rate shown at checkout.

Go through ShopBack before you pay and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account. Pending Cashback typically shows within two days and confirms within the confirmation time ShopBack lists for Shokz.

Shokz refunds returns under its 45-day money-back guarantee on shokz.com orders. A warranty repair or replacement on a kept order does not change your Cashback, because the original purchase stands.
