Shokz has introduced its annual Diwali promotional campaign in India. Scheduled to run from October 8 through November 10 — the campaign offers temporary price reductions across the brand’s line of sports, aquatic, and everyday open-ear headphones.
Unlike conventional in-ear earbuds that sit directly inside the ear canal, Shokz devices rest externally. The open-ear format aims to provide listeners with situational awareness during outdoor activities and commutes while also maintaining ear canal ventilation.
Festive Offers and Pricing Structure
The promotional pricing applies to several key models in the Shokz portfolio, ranging from entry-level fitness models to specialized swimming and dual-driver flagships.

Design and Functional Attributes
As part of the campaign, Shokz is emphasizing the functional differences between open-ear acoustic systems and sealed in-ear monitors:
- Ear Canal Hygiene: Sealed earbuds can trap moisture, heat, and sweat within the canal, which may cause irritation over extended use. The open-ear layout leaves the ear canal unblocked, allowing natural airflow.
- Situational Awareness: By transmitting sound vibrations through the cheekbones directly to the inner ear—or directing audio towards the ear without sealing it—the design preserves ambient sound perception. This acoustic transparency enables runners, cyclists, and pedestrians to hear traffic, sirens, and surroundings alongside their audio playback.
Availability and Retail Presence
The promotional pricing is available across major online marketplaces, including Amazon India and Flipkart.
For offline purchases, the products are stocked in select Croma stores, regional sports retail chains, and dedicated storefronts, including two physical Triathlete Hub locations in Bengaluru:
