Shokz has launched the second generation of its OpenFit headphones at CES 2025, with the OpenFit 2 available right now for $179 at Amazon. The original Shokz OpenFit were the first headphones from the brand that don’t use bone conduction technology, instead using air conduction to play audio without blocking the ear canal.

SAVE $11.95: Order the new Shokz OpenFit 2 earbuds for $179.95 at Amazon and get a free Shokz protective case, which usually costs $11.95.

Shokz has made improvements to comfort, volume, battery, and touch controls. Unfortunately, the sound quality is a little more muddy than I’d like.

Improved comfort, double the drivers, better Bluetooth and much longer battery life can be found on Shokz's OpenFit 2 earbuds.

The OpenFit 2 — available in black or beige — keep the same basic formula of the original, but use a slightly tighter curve on the earhook, with inner surfaces covered in Shokz’s Ultra-Soft Silicone 2.0. Add to that a new flexible nickel-titanium alloy, Shokz says the new earbuds should be both more comfortable and more secure.

We go hands-on with Shokz' upgraded true-wireless OpenFit 2 open earbuds that use its air-conduction speaker technology.

Shokz, a pioneer in open-ear headphones, debuted two new headphones at CES 2025, including one geared toward working professionals.
