Open to More: Shokz Unveils OpenDots 2

A year after introducing its first open-ear clip-on earbuds, OpenDots ONE, Shokz has unveiled OpenDots 2, the next-generation flagship model in the OpenDots series. Building on the success of its predecessor, OpenDots 2 delivers a lighter design, more powerful sound, enhanced call quality, and a range of intelligent features designed to make everyday listening more seamless.

OpenDots 2: Light Clip, Incredible Sound

OpenDots 2 combines premium audio performance, all-day comfort, and smart functionality in a lightweight clip-on design.

Sound Quality & Call Clarity

OpenDots 2 elevates the open-ear listening experience with advanced audio technologies engineered to deliver richer sound and clearer communication.

At its core is Bassphere™ 2.0, a spherical acoustic system powered by dual custom 11.8 mm drivers and a redesigned diaphragm that minimizes distortion. The result is:

  • Deeper bass
  • Greater volume
  • Cleaner audio detail in a compact design

OpenDots 2 also features MirrorPitch™ and DirectPitch™ Technology, which direct sound more precisely into the ear. This enhances bass response and volume while reducing sound leakage for a more private listening experience.

With upgraded Dolby Audio, music gains richer bass, greater depth, and more impact while preserving clear vocals, a spacious soundstage, and lifelike detail.

Users can further personalize their listening experience with multiple EQ presets, including:

  • Standard
  • Bass
  • Vocal
  • Private

For calls, OpenDots 2 introduces a triple-microphone system, including a bone-conduction microphone. Together, the microphones isolate the user's voice more effectively, delivering clearer conversations even in noisy environments.

All-Day Battery Life & Smart Features

Designed for long days and nonstop listening, OpenDots 2 provides:

  • Up to 40 hours of total battery life (including the charging case)
  • Qi wireless charging
  • Quick Charge that delivers 2 hours of playback from just a 5-minute charge—twice as fast as OpenDots ONE

Durability has also been improved with:

  • IP57 water and dust resistance for the earbuds
  • IP54 protection for the charging case

OpenDots 2 includes Dynamic Ear Detection, automatically recognizing the left and right ears so either earbud can be worn interchangeably.

Connectivity is faster and more convenient with support for:

  • Google Fast Pair™
  • Microsoft Swift Pair
  • MultiPoint Pairing for seamless switching between devices

Through the Shokz App, users can personalize their experience with:

  • Customizable gesture controls
  • EQ settings
  • Find My Earbuds
  • Drop Alerts

Comfortable, Secure Fit

OpenDots 2 is designed for travel, commuting, exercise, and all-day wear.

Each earbud weighs just 6.4 g, combining a lightweight construction with soft contoured silicone for pressure-free comfort.

Its flexible JointArc™ design naturally adapts to different ear shapes, helping keep the earbuds securely in place during movement, workouts, and extended listening sessions.
