Gizmodo • • technology
Key Points:
- Shokz has launched the OpenFit Air 2, a new pair of earhook-style open earbuds weighing 7.2g per earbud, making them the lightest earhook product in the company's history.
- The charging case for the OpenFit Air 2 is over 10% smaller than the previous generation, addressing the typically bulky size of earhook earbud cases.
- The OpenFit Air 2 features Bassphere technology for enhanced bass, offers 8 hours of battery life, and has an IP55 rating for sweat and water resistance, but lacks noise reduction, which remains exclusive to the $250 OpenFit Pro model.
- Shokz is also releasing the OpenRun 2 bone-conduction earbuds, which are 9% smaller, have an IP67 rating, a 10-hour battery life, and are designed for athletes who need to stay aware of their surroundings.
- Both the OpenFit Air 2 and OpenRun 2 will be available starting August 27, priced at $130 each.
