Shokz unveils OpenFit 2, wireless air conduction headphones

At the CES 2025 show in Las Vegas, Shokz unveiled the new OpenFit 2 open headphones which succeed the OpenFit. They incorporate a new technical approach with the DualBoost system, which uses two separate speakers in each earpiece. The first manages the low frequencies while the second takes care of the mids and highs.

This configuration aims to help with more precise and detailed sound reproduction. The OpenBass 2.0 algorithm optimizes bass reproduction, providing a more immersive listening experience while maintaining perception of the external environment.

Optimized design and ergonomics

According to the brand, Shokz engineers have particularly worked on comfort of use. The ear hooks, made of flexible nickel-titanium alloy, are now thinner and adapt naturally to the user’s body shape. Each earbud weighs just 9.4 grams and uses a new material called Ultra-Soft Silicone 2.0, allowing for prolonged wear without discomfort. Remember that this open design allows users to remain attentive to their environment, a major advantage for outdoor activities.

Features and autonomy

According to Shokz, the OpenFit 2 headphones offer 11 hours of listening time per charge, a notable improvement over the previous model’s 7 hours. The charging case allows you to achieve a total autonomy of 48 hours, again according to the brand. The control system now combines physical and tactile buttons, making it easier to manage playback, calls and volume. The headphones also incorporate two microphones per side with noise reduction technology to optimize call quality.

The headphones offer a frequency response of 50 Hz to 16 kHz and use Bluetooth 5.2 for connection. They benefit from IP54 certification against dust and splashing water. The companion app offers four EQ presets to personalize the listening experience to the user’s preferences.

The Shokz OpenFit 2 retails for $179.95 in the United States, in black and beige colors. Availability and pricing for other markets will be announced at a later date.
