help VividSound MotionWave FAQ
How does the MotionWave compare to Shokz bone conduction headphones?
Shokz — rebranded from AfterShokz in late 2021 — dominates the category with models like OpenRun, so the MotionWave's pitch is similar open-ear sound at a lower price. Expect the same core tradeoff: situational awareness and comfort rather than the bass and isolation of in-ear buds.
Can I swim or shower with the IP64 rating?
No — IP64 means protection from splashes and sweat, not submersion, so it's fine for running and rain but not swimming. For pool use, Shokz makes the IP68-rated OpenSwim, which stores music onboard since Bluetooth doesn't work underwater.
Does bone conduction audio leak so people around me can hear it?
At moderate volume the leakage is minimal, but crank it up and bystanders in a quiet room will hear a tinny version of your audio. Most users settle on a volume where music is clear while still hearing traffic — which is the whole point of the design.
Do they work with glasses, helmets, or hearing aids?
Bone conduction headphones sit on the cheekbones in front of the ears, so they coexist with glasses and many helmet straps better than earbuds. Because the ear canals stay open, many hearing-aid users and runners who need traffic awareness prefer this form factor.
