Powerful Sound
Next-Generation Powerful Speakers

The OpenDots 2 features a spherical acoustic design, Shokz Bassphere™ 2.0, which maximizes performance in a compact space. Two custom 11.8mm drivers work together to deliver output equivalent to a single 16mm driver. A redesigned diaphragm structure reduces distortion by 70%, improving bass performance and volume while maintaining a compact design.

Upgraded Dolby Audio

Experience Dolby Audio like never before. Enhanced with richer, more powerful bass, it adds new depth and impact to your music while preserving clear vocals, a spacious soundstage, and vivid details. Every sound, every beat, every nuance comes to life, making music and entertainment feel more immersive than ever.

Purpose-Built Sound Shaping

MirrorPitch™ technology fundamentally rethinks how sound reaches your ears. Instead of projecting sound straight out, the sound outlet reflects it at a precise angle to reach your ear. This improves bass response and volume, delivering a richer, clearer sound.

Customize Your Sound

Customize the sound to match your music, mood, or scene. Choose from four preset modes: Standard, Bass Boost, Vocal, and Private. You can also manually fine-tune the EQ.

Leak-Proof Design

DirectPitch™ technology precisely directs sound towards your ears, reducing sound leakage. This allows for more private listening while maintaining awareness of your surroundings. For even more discreet listening, you can switch to 'Private' mode in the Shokz app.

DirectPitch™ technology uses out-of-phase sound waves to accurately guide sound to the ear. By optimizing the distance and angle between the sound source and the ear, it increases sound pressure at the ear while suppressing diffusion to the surroundings. Despite the open-ear design, it concentrates sound and reduces leakage.

Lightweight, Stable, Comfortable Fit

All-Day Comfort

Soft, ear-conforming silicone material securely supports the ear while maintaining the thinness and lightness of the earphone body. Weighing only 6.4g per earpiece, the OpenDots 2 is designed to minimize pressure even during extended wear.

Secure, Snug Fit

The OpenDots 2 stays securely in place from morning until night. The flexible nickel-titanium JointArc™ naturally conforms to various ear shapes and sizes, providing lasting stability and comfort.

Your Voice Always Center Stage

Enjoy clear, natural conversations even in noisy environments. A dedicated bone conduction microphone and two air conduction microphones work together to capture your voice and reduce ambient noise. Combined with adaptive beamforming and AI noise reduction, it ensures clear audio wherever you are.

Long-Lasting, Reliable Battery

Up to 10 hours of playback on a single charge

Up to 40 hours of total playback with the case

5 minutes of quick charging provides up to 2 hours of playback

Qi-certified wireless charging

No Left/Right Distinction

Dynamic Ear Detection technology automatically identifies your left and right ears. You can wear them in either ear without worry. Shokz's wear detection feature pauses playback when you remove an earpiece and resumes when you put it back on, allowing for uninterrupted music enjoyment.

Weather Resistance Against Sweat and Rain

Compliant with the IP57 rating, the OpenDots 2 is designed to withstand sweat and rain, making it reliable for workouts, daily commutes, and travel.

Advanced Controls

Easily control playback, pause, and track skipping by tapping the JointArc™ or pinching the battery. The pinch control on the OpenDots 2 now features a pressure sensor for more precise operation and reduced unintended touches. Tap controls make everyday operations simpler.

Two Devices, One Connection

Multipoint connection allows you to pair the earphones with two devices simultaneously and switch seamlessly between them.
