OpenRock Introduces the Link 20: A Revolutionary Open-Ear Headset
On September 23, 2025, OpenRock, a leader in open-ear audio technology, officially launched the Link 20 on Kickstarter. The headset is poised to transform the way users experience audio for both professional communication and recreational use. Designed with functionality and style in mind, the Link 20 merges the demands of business calls with the desire for leisure without compromising on comfort.
A New Paradigm in Headset Design
Traditional communication headsets often come with drawbacks such as cumbersome designs, ear fatigue, lack of ambient awareness, and subpar build quality. The Link 20 addresses these issues with an innovative minimalist open-ear structure that weighs only 9 grams per earbud. Its standout feature, a detachable and interchangeable magnetic boom microphone, offers unprecedented versatility and comfort for the user.
Key Features and Innovations
- - Interchangeable Boom Microphone: This first-of-its-kind microphone can be attached to either side of the headset, allowing users to select their preference. This flexibility and the ability to switch sides help prevent discomfort during prolonged use, a common issue faced with traditional headsets.
- - Durability and Design: Engineered with N54 magnets and a six-layer alloy plating, the boom microphone not only attaches effortlessly but also ensures durability through over 10,000 attachment cycles. Users will receive audio cues when the microphone connects or disconnects, enhancing functionality.
- - Advanced Noise Cancellation: Featuring a sophisticated 5-microphone AI Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) system, the Link 20 can reduce background noise by an impressive 99.9%, making it ideal for noisy environments like bustling offices or cafes.
- - Bluetooth 6.0 Connectivity: With support for Bluetooth 6.0, the Link 20 can connect to two devices simultaneously, ensuring a stable signal transmission and providing a wireless range of up to 50 feet indoors and 99 feet outdoors.
One Headset for All Scenarios
The dual-scenario design of the Link 20 allows it to transition seamlessly from business to leisure. Users can effortlessly switch from a work call to enjoying their favorite music without the need for different headsets.
Impressive Battery Life
The Link 20 boasts an all-day battery life, offering up to 13 hours of music playback and 9 hours of talk time without the boom mic attached. With its charging case, users can enjoy up to 52 hours of music or 36 hours of talk time. A rapid five-minute charge can even provide enough power for an hour of emergency talk time.
Comfort Meets Innovation
