About the Shokz Opencomm2 II 2025 Edition: Bone Conduction Headset with Microphone

These days it's easy to blend into the headset landscape by offering a me-too product, but that's not what Shokz did when they released the Opencomm2 UC.

What was previously a headset that was mostly used for recreation, has now evolved into something more. Yes, you can still buy Shokz headsets that are great for hiking, biking, running, and even swimming, but what about those same Shokz fans who work in offices, or need the same style of headset for work?

The good news is Shokz has a headset just for that purpose in the Opencomm2 UC

It's easy to see that Shokz chose a different path when it comes to the design of this headset.

The Opencomm2 UC doesn't use traditional ear speakers like you see on most other headsets. The Shokz Opencomm2 UC uses Transducers, and Bone Conduction technology rather than over-the-air ear speakers.

Here's an informative overview video of the Opencomm2 that provides a lot of good information, including a sound test. Feel free to have a watch, or read over our Opencomm2 UC product listing below.

In order to understand, and even appreciate the differences, here's a very brief overview of bone conduction technology, which the Opencomm2 UC utilizes.

Transducers are the two pads in the center of this image.

And here's an inside view of of the transducer

So what's the difference between transducers and speakers?

Speakers

Ear speakers send sound waves directly from the speaker, over the air, straight to your ear drum. The sound the ear drum hears, is then converted to vibrations and passed on to the cochlea, or inner ear, down the auditory nerve to the brain where the sound is interpreted.

Bone Conduction & transducers

First, and perhaps most importantly, the transducers send sound vibrations (rather than sound waves) through the temporal bone on the side of the head, which are then relayed directly to the cochlea, bypassing the eardrum all together. Once these sound waves are received by the chochlea, they are then relayed across the auditory nerve and then to the brain.

So rather than converting sound waves to sound vibrations, and utilizing the eardrum, bone conduction starts with sound vibrations, and bypasses the eardrum.

Bone conduction is a technology that's been around a long time, and is helpful to those who have hearing loss. In fact, Beethoven, the famous 18th century composer, who was nearly deaf, used bone conduction to hear music by attaching a rod to his piano, and clenching it in his teeth.

Ok, now that you have an idea of what bone conduction is, let's dig into the Shokz Opencomm2 UC to filnd out about its features.

Comfort

It's a fact that anyone who plans on wearing a headset, wants one that's comfortable. And I have to say, the Opencomm2 UC is extremely comfortable. Here's what makes it a headset you can comfortably wear all day long without experiencing headset fatigue:

1. Construction

The Opencomm2 UC is made using titanium on the inside, and silicone on the outside which makes it strong, durable, lightweight and water resistant.

2. Weight
