Overview
- Shokz announced the two models on Monday and said both will be sold from August 27 through Shokz.com and select retailers for $129.95 in the U.S.
- The OpenRun Air 2 is a bone‑conduction sports headset that Shokz says is about 9% smaller, weighs 26.4 g, uses PremiumPitch 3.0 drivers, has an IP67 rating, offers up to 10 hours of playback, and adds AI noise reduction for calls.
- The OpenFit Air 2 is a true wireless earhook aimed at workouts and all‑day wear, weighing 7.2 g per bud with a 10.5% smaller case, Bassphere/OpenBass 2.0 for stronger low end, up to 8 hours per charge and 36 hours with the case, and it does not include active noise cancellation.
- Both products add modern conveniences to open‑ear listening including app‑based sound personalization (four EQ presets and two custom profiles), Multipoint pairing, Bluetooth 6.1, Fast Pair/Swift Pair support, Find My Earbuds, and quick‑charge boosts for short top‑ups.
- Shokz positions the releases to address common open‑ear complaints by improving weight, bass and portability while accepting the trade‑off of less passive isolation so users can stay aware of traffic and surroundings; the company remains a leading maker in the open‑ear category.
