Shokz has just dropped a brand-new flagship running headphone, the OpenFit 2+, bringing Dolby Audio and wireless charging to its innovative line-up.
Following closely on the heels of the OpenFit 2, the new OpenFit 2+ steps things up a level for users who want a more premium, spatial audio experience on the go.
Like the OpenFit 2, it uses a dual-driver system powered by Shokz’s DualBoost Technology – with one driver tuned for deep bass and the other for crisp mids and highs – but the OpenFit 2+ adds the extra dimension of Dolby Audio.
This is a big deal. In this price range, Dolby Audio support is rare for earbuds and headphones.
On open-ear headphones, it's practically unheard of.
High-end over-ear headphones, like the Sony WH-1000XM5 or Bose QuietComfort Ultra, have Dolby Audio support, but they are nearly twice the price at RRP.
Another major upgrade is wireless charging, a first for Shokz open-ear true wireless earbuds.
Simply place the charging case onto any compatible wireless charger for fuss-free top-ups, ideal for commuters, professionals, and anyone tired of plugging in cables.
Big battery life, small footprint
Battery life remains impressive with up to 11 hours on a single charge and 48 hours total with the case.
There's also a 10-minute quick-charge feature that provides two hours of listening time, perfect for last-minute workouts or calls.
The OpenFit 2+ also comes with IP55 water resistance, Bluetooth 5.4, and four AI-enhanced microphones for crystal-clear calls, matching the durability and smarts expected from Shokz.
In terms of comfort, the new headphones feature a featherlight 9.4g construction and ultra-soft silicone finish, allowing all-day wear.
The OpenFit 2+ is available in black and grey colourways for £179 directly from Shokz and retailers like John Lewis and Selfridges.
The slightly cheaper OpenFit 2 (£169), which shares much of the design and dual-driver sound but skips Dolby Audio and wireless charging, is available in beige and black.
