The Shokz OpenFit 2 Series, with the OpenFit 2 and the premium OpenFit 2+, marks another confident step forward for the brand’s bone-conduction lineup.
While the open-ear design won’t be for everyone, these models show that Shokz is getting serious about delivering refined audio and a secure, comfortable fit for users on the go.
Design and Fit
Shokz hasn’t strayed far from its roots here. The OpenFit 2 Series sticks to the brand’s open-ear formula, designed to keep you aware of your surroundings while still offering decent sound performance.
With a lightweight 9.4g build and redesigned nickel-titanium earhooks, both models stay comfortably in place for extended listening sessions. Whether you’re running, commuting, or working from home, the comfort factor is a clear highlight.
Sound Quality
This is where the OpenFit 2 Series earns its stripes. The dual-driver setup in both models noticeably improves the listening experience.
Bass is punchy and present, while mids and highs cut through clearly. Shokz’s OpenBass 2.0 tech enhances low-frequency vibrations, giving music a bit more punch than you’d expect from an open-ear design.
The flagship OpenFit 2+ ups the ante with Dolby Audio support. It’s an impressive addition, widening the soundstage and creating a more spatial, immersive feel whether you’re listening to music, streaming shows, or gaming.
Features and Battery Life
Battery life remains a strong point. Both models offer 11 hours of listening time on a single charge, with up to 48 hours when paired with the charging case.
A quick 10-minute charge also gives you two hours of playback—perfect for squeezing in a workout or commute when you’re low on power. The 2+ model’s wireless charging feature is a nice convenience for those who prefer to avoid cables.
Call quality is bolstered by four AI-powered noise-cancelling microphones, making them a solid choice for hands-free calls even in noisy environments. Both models come with IP55 water resistance, so sweat and light rain won’t be an issue.
Verdict
As always with open-ear designs, you’re trading noise isolation for situational awareness. These won’t be your go-to for complete immersion on noisy commutes or long-haul flights, but that’s the point—Shokz is playing to its strengths here, offering an audio solution that keeps you aware of your surroundings while still delivering solid, detailed sound.
At £169 for the OpenFit 2 and £179 for the OpenFit 2+, they’re priced squarely in the premium bracket. But you’re getting refined audio, impressive comfort, and features that fit into a busy lifestyle—plus Shokz’s dependable two-year warranty.
The bottom line? The Shokz OpenFit 2 Series doesn’t try to be everything to everyone, but if you want open-ear comfort and crisp sound for your active lifestyle, it’s a compelling upgrade that’s easy to recommend.
