Shokz Unveils OpenDots 2 and OpenDots Air for Stylish Everyday Listening
In an exciting development for audio enthusiasts, Shokz, renowned for its innovative open-ear audio technology, has announced the release of two new clip-on earbuds: OpenDots 2 and OpenDots Air. These products are designed to elevate everyday listening experiences, providing a blend of comfort, style, and audio performance.
Expanding the OpenDots Lineup
This launch marks a significant expansion to the OpenDots lineup, which has already gained a loyal following thanks to its groundbreaking approach to earbud design. The new models cater to both premium audio seekers and casual listeners, ensuring there's something for everyone.
OpenDots 2: Peak Performance
The OpenDots 2 is pitched as Shokz's flagship model, offering cutting-edge sound technology that enhances both music enjoyment and clarity during phone calls. Its design features three color options: Black, Grey, and a unique Pearl White, inspired by the elegance of pearls.
At the heart of the OpenDots 2 is Shokz's proprietary Bassphere™ 2.0 technology. This next-gen spherical acoustic structure aims to maximize sound output without compromising the compactness of the clip-on design. With custom 11.8 mm drivers, the OpenDots 2 delivers audio clarity that rivals traditional earbuds, allowing for an immersive listening experience, whether it’s music, podcasts, or calls.
One standout feature is MirrorPitch™ Technology, which directs sound more accurately into the ear, creating a focused and rich audio landscape. Coupled with Dolby Audio enhancements, users can expect deeper bass response, clearer vocals, and a more expansive soundstage.
Advanced usability features include a dedicated bone conduction microphone that works in tandem with dual air conduction microphones to isolate the user’s voice effectively, even in noisy environments. Additional improvements like AI noise reduction, wear detection for automatic playback control, and long-lasting battery life—from 10 hours on a single charge to 40 hours with the charging case—make the OpenDots 2 an invaluable accessory. Moreover, it is equipped with an IP57 rating, ensuring it stands up to sweat and rain, making it perfect for active lifestyles.
OpenDots Air: Accessible Style
On the other hand, the OpenDots Air is designed with a focus on lightweight comfort and style. Weighing just 6.3 grams per earbud, these are perfect for users looking for a casual, everyday listening experience. It is made available in stylish colors like Daybreak Purple and Black, harmonizing perfectly with any outfit.
This model incorporates the same Shokz Bassphere™ technology and also utilizes dual 11.8 mm drivers to provide well-balanced sound. However, the emphasis here is on accessibility, ensuring that all users can enjoy great audio without the premium price tag.
OpenDots Air supports many of the same smart features, including customizable EQ settings through the Shokz App, AI-enhanced calling capabilities, and Dynamic Ear Detection for seamless use throughout the day. With a battery life offering up to 9 hours and 36 hours with the charging case, the OpenDots Air is perfect for users on the move. Although its IP55 rating means it isn’t as water-resistant as the OpenDots 2, it still provides decent protection against dust and moisture.
Availability and Pricing
Both models will be available starting June 4, 2026. The OpenDots 2 will retail for $199.95 USD and the OpenDots Air for $129.95 USD. Customers will find these exciting new products on Shokz.com, Amazon, BestBuy, and various select retailers across the nation.
