Shokz OpenFit 2

Name: Shokz OpenFit 2
Brand: Shokz
SKU: 2940

Manufacturer: Shokz

The Shokz OpenFit 2 are true wireless earbuds built around an open-ear design, meaning they sit outside the ear canal rather than sealing it off. This makes them a practical option for those who want to stay aware of their surroundings while listening. They include wingtips for a more secure fit, weigh just 18.8 g, and come with a travel bag. Being fully wireless, they connect over Bluetooth 5.4 and support multipoint pairing with up to two devices simultaneously.

On the power side, the earbuds offer 11 hours of playback on a single charge, with the included charging case extending that total to 37 hours. The case connects via USB Type-C, and fast charging is supported. A 17.3 mm driver handles audio output with a frequency range of 50 Hz to 16,000 Hz and a sound pressure level of 96.5 dB/mW. For calls and voice use, the OpenFit 2 carries four microphones with noise-canceling capability and a sensitivity rating of -38 dBV/Pa. Additional features include a mute function, voice prompts, a find-device function, and a battery level indicator.

Pros

Open-ear fit allows users to remain aware of their surroundings while listening
Multipoint connection supports simultaneous pairing with two devices
Four microphones with noise-canceling capability support clearer call quality
The charging case extends total battery life to 37 hours, reducing the need for frequent recharging
Fast charging is supported, minimizing downtime
A find-device feature helps locate the earbuds when they go missing

Cons

No active noise cancellation or passive noise reduction, which limits focus in noisy environments
Frequency response tops out at 16,000 Hz, leaving the upper range of audible sound uncovered
No wireless charging support; the case relies solely on USB Type-C
Bluetooth range is limited to 10 m, restricting movement away from the paired device
No support for high-resolution audio codecs such as LDAC, aptX HD, or LE Audio

Who is this for?

The Shokz OpenFit 2 are well-suited to users who need to stay aware of their surroundings while listening, making them a practical choice for outdoor activities such as running or cycling where environmental awareness matters. The IP55 rating and lightweight 18.8 g build make them a reliable option for active, everyday use where sweat and light rain are factors. Users who frequently take calls on the go will also benefit from the four noise-canceling microphones, mute function, and multipoint pairing with two devices, which suits those who switch regularly between a phone and a computer.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who require strong sound isolation or active noise cancellation will find these earbuds unsuitable, as the open-ear design deliberately lets in ambient sound and offers no passive or active noise reduction. Audiophiles or those who prioritize high-fidelity playback may be disappointed by the absence of high-resolution audio codec support such as LDAC or aptX HD, and the frequency range capping at 16,000 Hz. Additionally, the 10 m Bluetooth range makes them a poor fit for situations where the user needs to move freely at greater distances from their paired device.

Final Verdict

The Shokz OpenFit 2 make a clear case for users who want a wireless listening experience that keeps them connected to their environment rather than cutting them off from it. The open-ear design, combined with a lightweight build, IP55 protection, and solid call performance through four noise-canceling microphones, makes it a well-rounded option for active, on-the-go use. Where it falls short is equally clear — those seeking immersive audio, noise isolation, or high-resolution codec support will need to look elsewhere. For its intended audience, however, the 37-hour total battery life with fast charging support and dual-device multipoint pairing make the OpenFit 2 a dependable daily companion that prioritizes practicality and awareness over acoustic isolation.
