Meet OptiShokz Revvez: The Bone Conduction Audio Sunglasses

We all love music. But what about if you want to keep your ears open when riding a bike? Enter AfterShokz, the company behind the lightweight and comfortable Trekz Titanium wireless stereo headphones designed with athletes in mind. Trekz Titanium is sweatproof, secure, and will allow you to hear your surroundings – no matter where life takes you. AfterShokz is not new to sunglasses and headphones, it currently boast over 200 patents.

Now the company is stepping things up with the launched of a new product through its sister company, OptiShokz. The company recently launched OptiShokz Revvez, a combination of sunglasses and bone-conducting headphones in one. Having sunglasses pack with integrated headphones that let you also listen to music, is not really a new idea but doing it through bone conduction is. Revvez sunglasses are the first sunglasses with transducers positioned to transmit sound through the cartilage behind your ear, providing the best bass response and volume.

What’s the big deal about bone conduction technology, you might ask? Bone conduction is a natural part of the hearing process—sound travels through our eardrums and bones simultaneously. We’ve taken the concept to the next level through the development of a suite of proprietary audio technologies and design patents.

Revvez  is designed to allow cyclists, runners, hikers, golfers, skiers and others to listen to audio and make calls on the go while maintaining “ambient sound awareness.” OptiShokz Revvez launched its campaign on February 19 on crowdfunding webesite, Indiegogo. With 23 days to go, Revvez has raised over $307,224 USD (at the time of writing), about 614% of $50,000 fixed goal.

OptiShokz’s audio sunglasses, the Revvez, feature patented AfterShokz bone conduction technology that delivers stereo sound through the ear cartilage. You can hear your music and the world around you with open-ear design and premium eye protection.
