Built to be worn for every part of the day, the new range balances refined design, comfort and exceptional open-ear audio in a featherlight, accessory-like form.
As open-ear listening continues to move beyond sport into everyday life, OpenDots 2 and OpenDots Air are created for modern lifestyles, seeking a balance of comfort, open-ear awareness, and style in a lightweight and elegant form.


Refined clip-on design made for modern everyday movement
Weighing just 6.4 grams per earbud, OpenDots 2 is engineered for lightweight, all-day wear. The compact clip-on design sits securely on the ear without applying pressure, remaining comfortable even during extended use and ideal for commuting, working, exercising or relaxing.
Crafted with a flexible nickel titanium JointArc structure, the earbuds naturally adapt to a wide range of ear shapes, ensuring a stable and secure fit. Soft, contoured silicone cushioning enhances comfort at key contact points throughout the day, while maintaining a sleek and refined profile.
More natural and focused sound experience with enhanced clarity and depth
Despite its compact size, OpenDots 2 delivers a rich and dynamic audio experience. Shokz’s signature Bassphere 2.0 technology and latest MirrorPitch technology work together to deliver fuller bass and more focused listening experience, while upgraded Dolby Audio creates a more lifelike and spacious soundstage, adding clarity and depth to music, calls and media.
Calls remain clear and natural, even in busy environments, thanks to a dedicated bone-conduction microphone combined with dual air-conduction microphones. Adaptive beamforming and AI noise reduction help minimise background distractions and keep the focus on the user’s voice.
Seamless listening that moves naturally through your day
OpenDots 2 also features advanced controls with new force sensor buttons, allowing users to manage music and calls with simple tap, pinch and hold gestures. Dynamic ear detection enables interchangeable left and right earbud use, automatically adjusting audio channels for a smooth listening experience.
OpenDots 2 is built to keep up with long days, offering up to 10 hours of listening time on a single charge and up to 40 hours with the charging case. A quick 5-minute charge provides up to 2 hours of playback, while Qi certified wireless charging adds everyday convenience.
With IP57 dust and water resistance on the earbuds and IP54 protection on the charging case, OpenDots 2 is designed to handle sweat, rain and daily wear, making them ideal for outdoor activities, commuting and light sports such as gym sessions, yoga and Pilates.
Available in Pearl White, Grey and Black, OpenDots 2 takes a more understated, premium approach, with a clean, minimalist elegance. OpenDots 2 will retail at £179 and be available from 4 June 2026.
Introducing OpenDots Air: everyday open-ear listening with a more vibrant style
Alongside OpenDots 2, Shokz also introduces OpenDots Air, an even more lightweight and accessible addition to the range. Designed with more vibrant character, OpenDots Air combines a compact clip-on form with a stylish, minimal aesthetic that blends naturally into your everyday look.
Maintaining a secure and comfortable fit, OpenDots Air delivers a balanced sound profile across lows, mids and highs. It boasts a total battery life of up to 36 hours, offering a natural and always-on listening experience for daily use.
Available in Daybreak Purple and Black, OpenDots Air will retail at £129 and launch on 4 June 2026.
