FAQs
Does Shokz have free shipping?
Yes! Shipping is free on all orders to the 48 contiguous United States and delivered by USPS and usually ship on the same day if ordered before 12AM.
Are Shokz headphones waterproof?
Most Shokz headphones are water-resistant, but only specific models are truly waterproof. Products like the OpenRun and OpenRun Pro are built to handle heavy sweat, rain, and splashes, which is perfect for intense workouts and running in bad weather, but they should not be worn in the shower or submerged in a pool. If you want to swim or shower with your headphones, you need the OpenSwim or OpenSwim Pro. These are specifically designed for aquatic sports and can be fully submerged in up to 2 meters of water for two hours.
Do Shokz have a microphone?
Yes! Almost all Shokz headphones have built-in microphones. The majority of the Shokz lineup, such as the OpenRun, OpenRun Pro, and OpenComm, have dual noise-cancelling microphones designed to block out wind and background noise. (Note: Bluetooth and microphones do not function while submerged underwater if you're thinking about the OpenSwim headphones)
Is Shokz a good brand?
Absolutely! Shokz is widely considered a leading brand in the open-ear and bone conduction headphone market. Formerly known as AfterShokz, the brand has a great reputation with runners and cyclists. Here at Tom's Guide, we've had the pleasure of reviewing many headphones, and Shokz sits up there with some of the best, with the Shokz OpenRun headphones earning a 4.5-star rating thanks to their comfortable fit, waterproof design and long battery life.

How we source coupon codes
The coupons you’ll find on Tom’s Guide have been sourced by our dedicated coupons team, who use the web, our relationships with retailers, & our affiliate networks to find the latest codes. The offers on each coupon page are updated every few days to ensure we feature the freshest ways to save, and our commercial team (based in London) also sources exclusive codes and sales info directly from some of the biggest retailers around.
How we test coupon codes
All the coupon codes we list on our pages have been tested by our deals & offers teams to ensure they work as intended before being uploaded. You’ll find a wide range of coupons on Tom’s Guide, including free shipping offers, student discounts, and savings on various kinds of products.
To ensure that all listed codes are available to use, we don’t include any one-time use or user-specific coupons. We also provide as much information as we can to keep things as clear as possible - any expiry dates or terms & conditions will be listed alongside the code. Look for the ‘Terms & Conditions’ text - you’ll be able to click this to expand this section for more details.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
We take care to only list tried & tested coupons on our pages, so all codes should be active and confer the listed discount or deal. However, although we keep up to date with expiry dates and any terms & conditions, sometimes retailers change these before we can update our pages.
Should a coupon fail to work as expected, check you meet any listed requirements. These can include minimum spends, multibuy offers, or product-specific promotions (i.e. 10% off selected tablets). You can view all associated requirements by clicking “View terms and conditions” below your code.
If this does not solve your issue, you can contact our customer service team by emailing coupons.tomsguide@futurenet.com. Make sure to let us know which coupon you were trying to use and which page this was listed on, and we’ll be in touch to help as soon as possible.
How we make money
Tom’s Guide makes money from coupons through a commission-based model. We have agreements in place with each retailer on our site - for every purchase made using one of our coupons or deals, we earn a small percentage of the order total back in commission.
Thanks to this model, we can save our customers money without charging them a thing. You won’t pay a penny to get the discounts listed on our pages, so whichever code or deal you choose, you’ll get exactly what it says on the tin.
