Improved sound and convenience with OpenFit 2

OpenFit 2 has significantly improved sound quality over the original model. Each insert now features a separate woofer and tweeter for a more dynamic sound. In addition, new bass boost technology increases the vibrancy of the bass frequencies, making them more tangible.

The design remains close to the first version: the earbuds have behind-the-ear hooks and fit just outside the ear. However, the hooks are now made of soft silicone with a more curved shape for better fit and comfort. Each earbud weighs just 9.4g and is available in two colors: black and beige.

The controls have also become more practical. In addition to touch pads, which weren’t always reliable, physical buttons have been added, which should minimize accidental presses.

The OpenFit 2’s battery lasts up to 11 hours on a single charge (as opposed to 7 hours in the first model), and with the charging case, total run time reaches 48 hours. Improved water protection is now IP55 rated, and connectivity is via Bluetooth 5.4.

OpenMeet: a headset for the office

Shokz has also introduced OpenMeet, a new headset for office use inspired by the OpenComm series. The model looks unusual thanks to a long microphone that points toward the mouth and a headband that goes over the head.
