Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to earlier Shokz bone-conduction models, the OpenFit 2 uses direct air conduction for richer bass. Versus typical in-ear earbuds, they allow full ambient sound, making them safer for outdoor use. They also offer a significantly longer battery life than many true wireless competitors.

What to know before buying

1. Ensure your ear shape fits the earhook design; they are not universally comfortable for very small ears.
2. Charging uses a USB-C cable included in the box.
3. The case is compact but slightly larger than standard earbud cases.
4. Pairing is instant via Bluetooth 5.2; the multipoint feature connects two devices simultaneously.
5. Battery life degrades over time; expect ~80% capacity after 500 charge cycles.
