Shokz OpenFit 2 Plus

Name: Shokz OpenFit 2 Plus
Brand: Shokz
SKU: 7008

Manufacturer: Shokz

The Shokz OpenFit 2 Plus are true wireless earbuds built around an open-ear design, keeping the ear canal unobstructed while still delivering stereo sound. They come with wingtips for a more secure fit and include a charging case that extends total playback to 37 hours combined. A travel bag is included in the box, and the earbuds weigh just 18.8 g for all-day wearability.

On the technical side, the OpenFit 2 Plus use a 17.3 mm driver with a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz and carry Dolby Audio support. The earbuds hold an IP55 ingress protection rating, making them resistant to water and dust. Connectivity runs over Bluetooth with a maximum range of 10 m, multipoint pairing for up to two devices simultaneously, and USB Type-C charging with fast charge support. A noise-canceling microphone, mute function, voice prompts, and find-device feature round out the feature set.

Pros

Open-ear fit keeps the ear canal unobstructed, making them suitable for extended wear without the discomfort associated with in-ear designs
Wingtips are included to help secure the earbuds during activity
Combined battery life of 37 hours between the earbuds and charging case supports extended use between top-ups
Wireless charging is supported alongside fast charging, offering flexible ways to replenish the battery
Multipoint connection allows simultaneous pairing with two devices, reducing the need to manually switch connections
A noise-canceling microphone is included, helping to reduce background sound during calls

Cons

No active noise cancellation or passive noise isolation, so environmental sound is not blocked at all
Maximum Bluetooth range of only 10 m limits usability at greater distances from the source device
No support for advanced audio codecs such as LDAC, aptX, or AAC, which restricts high-quality wireless audio transmission
Lacks fast pairing and NFC pairing, making the initial connection process less convenient
Spatial audio, Dolby Atmos, and Dirac Virtuo are all absent, limiting immersive audio options

Who is this for?

These earbuds are well suited to users who want 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 open-ear design, secure wingtip fit, and IP55 rating make them a reliable option for active, on-the-go use in light rain or sweaty conditions. Users who frequently switch between two devices will also benefit from the multipoint connection support, and those who prioritize long listening sessions will appreciate the combined 37-hour battery capacity.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who require noise isolation or active noise cancellation — such as those working in loud offices, commuting on public transport, or needing focused listening in noisy environments — will find these earbuds inadequate for that purpose. The open-ear design by nature allows all ambient sound through, which is a fundamental limitation in such settings. Similarly, those who prioritize high-fidelity wireless audio transmission through codecs like LDAC, aptX, or AAC will be underserved, as none of these are supported. The 10 m Bluetooth range also makes these earbuds a poor fit for users who need to move freely at greater distances from their connected device.

Final Verdict

The Shokz OpenFit 2 Plus is a well-defined product with a clear purpose: delivering wireless audio to users who need to stay connected to their environment rather than shut it out. Its open-ear design, backed by a secure wingtip fit and IP55 protection, makes it a practical companion for active daily use, while the combined 37-hour battery capacity and wireless charging support ensure it holds up through extended routines without frequent interruptions. The noise-canceling microphone and two-device multipoint pairing add genuine everyday utility. Where it falls short is in audio codec support and the absence of any noise isolation, which naturally limits its appeal to those seeking immersive or distraction-free listening. For users whose priority is situational awareness, comfort over long wear, and reliable call performance, the OpenFit 2 Plus delivers a coherent and purposeful feature set.
