Shokz Headphones: Revolutionizing the Way You Listen During Workouts

In the world of fitness, having the right audio gear can make all the difference in your workout experience. Whether you're an avid runner, a dedicated gym-goer, or a passionate cyclist, immersing yourself in your favorite music, podcasts, or audiobooks can provide the perfect blend of motivation, focus, and enjoyment. However, traditional headphones and earbuds often fall short when it comes to the unique demands of an active lifestyle, leading to issues like discomfort, instability, and even safety concerns.

Enter Shokz, a brand that has revolutionized the way we experience audio during physical activity. Shokz headphones are designed with the modern athlete in mind, offering a unique and innovative solution that addresses the common challenges faced by those who seek to elevate their workouts with the power of sound.

Bone Conduction Technology: A Game-Changing Approach

At the heart of Shokz headphones is their revolutionary bone conduction technology. Unlike traditional headphones that rely on in-ear or over-ear designs, Shokz utilizes a patented system that transmits sound through the user's cheekbones, bypassing the eardrums entirely.

This innovative approach offers a wealth of benefits for active individuals. By keeping the ears open and unobstructed, Shokz headphones allow users to maintain awareness of their surroundings, ensuring better safety and situational awareness during workouts. This is particularly crucial for activities like running, cycling, or exercising outdoors, where it's important to remain alert to your environment.

Moreover, the bone conduction technology employed by Shokz eliminates the discomfort and irritation often associated with traditional in-ear or on-ear designs. Without the need to insert anything into the ear canal or apply pressure on the outer ear, Shokz headphones provide a comfortable and effortless listening experience, even during extended workout sessions.

Secure and Stable Fit: Staying in Place, No Matter the Intensity

One of the key challenges faced by athletes and fitness enthusiasts when using headphones is maintaining a secure and stable fit, especially during high-intensity activities. Shokz has addressed this concern with their innovative headphone designs, ensuring that your audio gear stays firmly in place, no matter how vigorous your workout may be.

The Shokz headphones feature a wraparound, adjustable titanium frame that conforms to the contours of your head, providing a secure and customized fit. This stable design, combined with the lightweight construction of the headphones, allows users to move freely and confidently, without worrying about their audio gear slipping, bouncing, or falling off.

Additionally, Shokz headphones are designed with an open-ear concept, which not only enhances safety and awareness but also contributes to the overall stability and comfort of the headphones during physical activity. By keeping the ears unobstructed, Shokz ensures that your workout experience remains uninterrupted and your focus remains on the task at hand.

Durable and Water-Resistant: Withstanding the Elements

When it comes to fitness and outdoor activities, the ability of your audio gear to withstand the elements is of paramount importance. Shokz headphones are engineered to be both durable and water-resistant, making them the ideal companion for a wide range of workout environments.

Crafted from high-quality, rugged materials, Shokz headphones are built to withstand the rigors of an active lifestyle. From sweat-inducing gym sessions to rain-soaked runs, these headphones are designed to keep up with your most demanding physical activities without compromising their performance or structural integrity.

Furthermore, Shokz headphones feature a water-resistant rating that protects them from the occasional splash or light rain, ensuring that your music or podcasts remain uninterrupted even in the face of unpredictable weather conditions. This level of durability and weather-resistance provides peace of mind and allows you to focus on your workout without worrying about the wellbeing of your audio gear.

Versatile and Adaptable: Enhancing a Variety of Fitness Activities

The beauty of Shokz headphones lies in their versatility and ability to seamlessly adapt to a wide range of fitness activities. Whether you're an avid runner, a dedicated cyclist, a hardcore weightlifter, or a versatile cross-trainer, Shokz offers a solution that can enhance your overall workout experience.

Designed with the modern athlete in mind, Shokz headphones feature a sleek and lightweight design that won't interfere with your athletic gear or movement. This allows you to move freely and comfortably, without the bulky or obtrusive nature of traditional headphones.

Furthermore, Shokz headphones are compatible with a variety of devices, including smartphones, fitness trackers, and cycling computers, enabling you to integrate your audio experience seamlessly into your existing fitness ecosystem. This flexibility ensures that Shokz headphones can be a reliable and versatile companion, no matter your preferred workout routine or training regimen.

Enhanced Awareness and Safety

One of the most significant advantages of Shokz headphones is their ability to enhance user awareness and safety during physical activity. By utilizing bone conduction technology, Shokz headphones allow users to maintain an open-ear experience, which is crucial for activities where environmental awareness is essential.

Whether you're running on the roads, cycling in the city, or training in a gym, being able to hear your surroundings is a critical safety consideration. Shokz headphones ensure that you can enjoy your audio content while still being aware of traffic, instructors, or any other important cues in your immediate environment.

This focus on safety and situational awareness sets Shokz headphones apart, making them a preferred choice for fitness enthusiasts who prioritize their wellbeing and the ability to stay present and focused during their workouts.

Conclusion

Shokz headphones have truly revolutionized the way we experience audio during physical activity. By leveraging innovative bone conduction technology, Shokz has addressed the common challenges faced by athletes and fitness enthusiasts, providing a solution that enhances comfort, stability, and safety without compromising audio quality or connectivity.

Whether you're a seasoned runner, a dedicated cyclist, or a versatile cross-trainer, Shokz headphones offer a unique and tailored listening experience that can elevate your workout routine and unlock new levels of performance and enjoyment. Embrace the freedom, awareness, and unparalleled audio quality that Shokz headphones provide, and discover a new level of immersion and motivation in your fitness journey.

We have made it through another year of Eight Days of Content! I enjoyed myself immensely, I am so tired. I hope you enjoyed as well!

I have a couple of things if you did enjoy:

Number one, I have created a poll for the end of Eight Days! Tell me about what you loved! Tell me your ideas for next year! I do read all of these and they DO influence decisions from year to year!

or B) New Shokz headphones (about 180 dollars)

You can tip me at either Ko-Fi, or, since Ko-Fi has recently started running through Paypal as goods and services, thus taking a fee from my tips, you can just directly tip me at Paypal under @docholligay (But I recognize ko-fi allows for anon tips so I haven’t gotten rid of it)! Let me know which you’d prefer your tip to go toward!

All the books I reviewed in 2023 (Graphic Novels)

Next Tuesday (December 5), I'm at Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill, NC, with my new solarpunk novel The Lost Cause, which 350.org's Bill McKibben called "The first great YIMBY novel: perceptive, scientifically sound, and extraordinarily hopeful."

It's that time of year again, when I round up all the books I reviewed for my newsletter in the previous year. I posted 21 reviews last year, covering 31 books (there are two series in there!). I also published three books of my own last year (two novels and one nonfiction). A busy year in books!

Every year, these roundups remind me that I did actually manager to get a lot of reading done, even if the list of extremely good books that I didn't read is much longer than the list of books I did read. I read many of these books while doing physiotherapy for my chronic pain, specifically as audiobooks I listened to on my underwater MP3 player while doing my daily laps at the public pool across the street from my house.

After many years of using generic Chinese waterproof MP3s players – whose quality steadily declined over a decade – I gave up and bought a brand-name player, a Shokz Openswim. So far, I have no complaints. Thanks to reader Abbas Halai for recommending this!

https://shokz.com/products/openswim

I load up this gadget with audiobook MP3s bought from Libro.fm, a fantastic, DRM-free alternative to Audible, which is both a monopolist and a prolific wage-thief with a documented history of stealing from writers:

All right, enough with the process notes, on to the reviews!

GRAPHIC NOVELS

I. Shubiek Lubiek by Deena Mohamed

An intricate alternate history in which wishes are real, and must be refined from a kind of raw wish-stuff that has to be dug out of the earth. Naturally, this has been an important element of geopolitics and colonization, especially since the wish-stuff is concentrated in the global south, particularly Egypt, the setting for our tale. The framing device for the trilogy is the tale of three "first class" wishes: these are the most powerful wishes that civilians are allowed to use, the kind of thing you might use to cure cancer or reverse a crop-failure.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/11/your-wish/#is-my-command

II. Ducks by Kate Beaton

In 2005, Beaton was a newly minted art-school grad facing a crushing load of student debt, a debt she would never be able to manage in the crumbling, post-boom economy of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Like so many Maritimers, she left the home that meant everything for her to travel to Alberta, where the tar sands oil boom promised unmatched riches for anyone willing to take them. Beaton's memoir describes the following four years, as she works her way into a series of oil industry jobs in isolated company towns where men outnumber women 50:1 and where whole communities marinate in a literally toxic brew of carcinogens, misogyny, economic desperation and environmental degradation. The story that follows is – naturally – wrenching, but it is also subtle and ambivalent. Beaton finds camaraderie with – and empathy for – the people she works alongside, even amidst unimaginable, grinding workplace harassment that manifests in both obvious and glancing ways.

III. Justice Warriors by Matt Bors

Justice Warriors is what you'd get if you put Judge Dredd in a blender with Transmetropolitan and set it to chunky. The setup: the elites of a wasted, tormented world have retreated into Bubble City, beneath a hermetically sealed zone. Within Bubble City, everything is run according to the priorities of the descendants of the most internet-poisoned freaks of the modern internet, click- and clout-chasing mushminds full of corporate-washed platitudes about self-care, diversity and equity, wrapped around come-ons for sugary drinks and dubious dropshipper crapola. It's a cop buddy-story dreamed up by Very Online, very angry creators who live in a present-day world where reality is consistently stupider than satire.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/05/22/libras-assemble/#the-uz

IV. Roaming by Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki

The story of three young Canadian women meeting up for a getaway to New York City. Zoe and Dani are high-school best friends who haven't seen each other since they graduated and decamped for universities in different cities. Fiona is Dani's art-school classmate, a glamorous and cantankerous artist with an affected air of sophistication. It's a dizzying, beautifully wrought three-body problem as the three protagonists struggle with resentments and love, sex and insecurity. The relationships between Zoe, Dani and Fiona careen wildly from scene to scene and even panel to panel, propelled by sly graphic cues and fantastically understated dialog.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/11/as-canadian-as/#possible-under-the-circumstances

Like I said, this has been a good year in books for me, and it included three books of my own:

I. Red Team Blues (novel, Tor Books US, Head of Zeus UK)

Martin Hench is 67 years old, single, and successful in a career stretching back to the beginnings of Silicon Valley. He lives and roams California in a very comfortable fully-furnished touring bus, The Unsalted Hash, that he bought years ago from a fading rock star. He knows his way around good food and fine drink. He likes intelligent women, and they like him back often enough. Martin is a—contain your excitement—self-employed forensic accountant, a veteran of the long guerilla war between people who want to hide money, and people who want to find it. He knows computer hardware and software alike, including the ins and outs of high-end databases and the kinds of spreadsheets that are designed to conceal rather than reveal. He’s as comfortable with social media as people a quarter his age, and he’s a world-level expert on the kind of international money-laundering and shell-company chicanery used by Fortune 500 companies, mid-divorce billionaires, and international drug gangs alike. He also knows the Valley like the back of his hand, all the secret histories of charismatic company founders and Sand Hill Road VCs. Because he was there at all the beginnings. Now he’s been roped into a job that’s more dangerous than anything he’s ever agreed to before—and it will take every ounce of his skill to get out alive.

II. The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation (nonfiction, Verso)

We can – we must – dismantle the tech platforms. We must to seize the means of computation by forcing Silicon Valley to do the thing it fears most: interoperate. Interoperability will tear down the walls between technologies, allowing users to leave platforms, remix their media, and reconfigure their devices without corporate permission. Interoperability is the only route to the rapid and enduring annihilation of the platforms. The Internet Con is the disassembly manual we need to take back our internet.

https://www.versobooks.com/products/3035-the-internet-con

III. The Lost Cause (novel, Tor Books US, Head of Zeus UK)

For young Americans a generation from now, climate change isn't controversial. It's just an overwhelming fact of life. And so are the great efforts to contain and mitigate it. Entire cities are being moved inland from the rising seas. Vast clean-energy projects are springing up everywhere. Disaster relief, the mitigation of floods and superstorms, has become a skill for which tens of millions of people are trained every year. The effort is global. It employs everyone who wants to work. Even when national politics oscillates back to right-wing leaders, the momentum is too great; these vast programs cannot be stopped in their tracks.

But there are still those Americans, mostly elderly, who cling to their red baseball caps, their grievances, their huge vehicles, their anger. To their "alternative" news sources that reassure them that their resentment is right and pure and that "climate change" is just a giant scam. And they're your grandfather, your uncle, your great-aunt. And they're not going anywhere. And they’re armed to the teeth. The Lost Cause asks: What do we do about people who cling to the belief that their own children are the enemy? When, in fact, they're often the elders that we love?

https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250865939/the-lost-cause

I wrote nine books during lockdown, and there's plenty more to come. The next one is The Bezzle, a followup to Red Team Blues, which comes out in February:

https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250865878/thebezzle

While you're waiting for that one, I hope the reviews above will help you connect with some excellent books. If you want more of my reviews, here's my annual roundup from 2022:

For what it's worth, my dad wears bone conduction headphones that loop behind his head and then rest in front of his ears, so they don't touch his hearing aids

Hi, my character uses hearing aids and I would like to know if they can wear hearphones when they happen to wearing their hearing aids at the same time.

Hi!

I'd say, don't do this. It's best to take off hearing aids when using headphones. Also, many modern hearing aids have bluetooth connection, so they may not even need headphones--they can just send the sound directly to their hearing aids!

Come back to Japan! Part 2

Jadi perjalanan kedua kali ke Jepang ini kemarin mendarat di Narita. Salah satu pengalaman baru lagi liat Narita karna sebelumnya aku stop nya di Haneda. Ga banyak yang aku inget di Narita karna buru-buru gitu dan udah ditungguin sama pihak travelnya. Pas first time ketemu guide kita gileeee asik banget sih orangnya, beda banget sama yang di chat kemarin karna ternyata emang beda orang. Aku langsung ngerasa klik sama orang ini, extrovert banget soalnya.

Kami nginep 3 malam di asakusabashi dan hotelnya deket banget sama stasiun. Beda banget sama waktu backpackeran yang lumayan jauh karna pake airbnb dan enaknya pake travel tuh kita selalu pake eskalator / lift setiap di stasiun pas bawa koper jadi ga cape samsek. Kalo pas masih backpacker kan namanya kita buta platform jadi seringnya angkat2 koper naik turun tangga. Cuma karna trauma angkat2 koper itu jadi kemarin aku dan suami malah bawa koper kabin doang.

Hari kedua di Tokyo kita langsung ke DisneySea huwaaaaa.. Seru banget aku sampai nangis waktu ada festival spring didadahin Mickey Minnie. Eh malemnya nangis lagi waktu ada festival kembang api yang lengkap ada coco dll nya. Kayak mimpi rasanya. Nanti videonya aku share secara terpisah...

Hari ketiga kita diajak liat sakura ke Yoyogi Park. Jadi sebenernya pas ke sana masih spring, tapi beberapa hari sebelum ke sana hujan dan angin besar, makanya banyak sakura rontok. Pokoknya jadi agak jarang liat sakura. Nah di Yoyogi Park ini katanya beberapa pohon masih ada yang berbunga, dan bener aja kita ketemu aaaak so happy🌸🌸🌸

Siangnya tentu aja jalan jalan ke Shibuya dan Harajuku. Tidak lupa mampir ke Don Quixote tapi cuma mau liat2 aja dulu soalnya mikirnya hari terakhir nanti ada Don Quixote lagi kok di Osaka. Udah aku catetin apa yang mau aku beli, salah satunya earbone shokz karna harganya beda 500ribuan sama di sini.

Hari selanjutnya pindah ke Osaka naik Shinkansen perjalanan ditempuh waktu sekitar 2 jam. Sebelum naik kereta aku beli bekel dulu yang canggih banget ini monmaap cuma ditarik benang box nya langsung manasin sendiri selama 5 menit, pantes harganya beda sama bento lainnya. Jujur aku takjub makanan aja bisa dipikirin sampe kayak gini, jadi angetnya ngikutin kapan kita laper dan bisa di makan di tengah perjalanan.

Sampai Osaka kita langsung ke Universal. Jujur aku terharu bisa balik lagi ke sini cuma bedanya dulu aku cuma sampai luar aja alias ga masuk ke dalem karna temen2ku ga suka main. Sekarang sampe dalam jadi terharu lagi. Yang paling epic tu pas masuk ke Mario sih karna dari kecil mainin game nya dan bagus banget tempatnya dari yang lain. Tapi harpot juga baguss huwaaaa...

Hari berikutnya lagi kita cuss ke Kyoto. FYI Kyoto kayak paling luvv gt buatku dari kota lainnya. Ga tau kenapa tapi Kyoto kayak lebih tenang aja buat aku di sana. Kebanyakan juga pemandangan alamnya bagus dan banyak yang lebih murah juga makanan minumannya. Kita pergi ke Fushimi Inari dan Arashihama, turis banget sih emang wkwk tapi tetep happy. Ada lagi satu lagi yang bikin happy, ketemu sakura yang masih bagus banget di sana 😭💕

Karna aku udah ga bisa upload foto lagi jadi nanti lanjut di part 3 yaa 🥰
