People following our blog will have noticed we heard about OptiShokz for the first time in 2018. (Read our article: OptiShokz bone conduction sunglasses) So, we are happy AfterShokz has now officially launched their bone conduction sunglasses; the OptiShokz Revvez. Although launch is maybe a big word since the company will start an Indiegogo campaign Mid-February. Since it concerns a whole new branch of bone conduction products, a sub-brand has been announced too: OptiShokz. We are already looking forward receiving a pair of these exciting music sunglasses! And of course, we will share our detailed findings with you all. So, keep an eye on our blog for more info.

Bone conduction sunglasses might be a great alternative for bone conduction headphones. Sound quality on bone conduction devices will never be as high quality as sound on classic headphones. The headphones of AfterShokz nevertheless come very near quality-wise. AfterShokz is without doubt the best bone conduction brand on the market. Another reason we look forward to the Revvez bone conduction sunglasses. Especially because they are the only sporty bone conduction sunglasses on he market. The pats months we have tested Zungle sunglasses, Vue Sunglasses,… So, we have clear reference points to give you a honest and detailed review.

Bone conduction technology on the Revvez

These bone conduction sunglasses, aka smart glasses, were designed for skiers, runners, cyclists, golfers, hikers, climbers and other outdoor fanatics. Talking about bone conduction, it’s all about hearing ambient sound. Environmental awareness increases safety on for example the road! Using bone conduction technology, the sound is transmitted through your cheekbones (in this case through your cartilage). Your ears remain free at all times. So, you can for example make calls or listen to music and still be able to hear ambient noise. Besides, we love bone conduction too because we were finally able to throw away our annoying earplugs. So, bone conduction has many advantages (Read more about the benefits of bone conduction here).
