| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the cycling podcast, proudly brought to you by Shocks, bone conduction headphones. |
| 0:06.4 | This is Lionel here and for the past few weeks I've been using Shox headphones, |
| 0:10.6 | the Open Run Pro 2 model to be precise, and I've been really impressed with the comfort and sound quality. |
| 0:17.2 | They're very different to any headphones I've used before because nothing actually goes into your ear. |
| 0:21.7 | And straight away, I found this to be much more comfortable to wear, especially when exercising. |
| 0:26.9 | When I've used conventional in-ear headphones on the turbo trainer or outrunning or riding on the trails, |
| 0:32.4 | I find that they can get sweaty and slippery and sometimes fall out of the ear. |
| 0:36.9 | In-ear headphones can also compromise your |
| 0:39.3 | awareness of the sounds going on around you. Shocks, on the other hand, give you great sound, |
| 0:44.5 | whether you're listening to music or your favourite podcast, such as the cycling podcast, but they |
| 0:49.0 | don't block out what's going on around you. So how do they work? Well, shocks bone conduction technology means that |
| 0:55.6 | they sit just behind the ear with the sound passing to the inner ear through the skull. It sounds |
| 1:01.5 | a bit science fiction, doesn't it? And I was a little skeptical to start with, but it really works. |
| 1:06.1 | There's a band that holds them securely in place and then a little speaker that takes care of the bass which gives |
| 1:12.2 | you richness and depth of sound that you really want especially when listening to music through that |
| 1:18.1 | combination of bone conduction and air conduction you get unmatched sound quality even though there's |
| 1:22.9 | nothing actually in your ear which as i, feels a lot more comfortable to wear. |
| 1:32.7 | Crucially, though, you can still hear a lot of what's going on around you, and yet somehow it doesn't compromise your enjoyment of what you're listening to. You feel connected with |
| 1:36.7 | your environment and surroundings while still enjoying the podcast or music that you've chosen. |
| 1:42.6 | There's even a model that works underwater, so if you're a swimmer, check out the OpenSwim Pro. |
| 1:48.1 | There's actually 30% off the OpenSwim Pro model right now, meaning they're 135 pounds instead of 169. |
| 1:55.6 | And Cycling Podcast listeners can get £10 off any purchase with the discount code, Cycling10 at UK.shox.com. |
