Overview
- Shokz announced the OpenRun Air 2 and OpenFit Air 2 on Aug. 24 and said both will be available starting Aug. 27 with an MSRP of $129.95 in the U.S.
- The OpenRun Air 2 is a slimmer bone‑conduction sports headphone that weighs 26.4 g, offers up to 10 hours of playback on a charge, and carries an IP67 dust‑ and water‑resistance rating.
- The OpenFit Air 2 is a true‑wireless earhook design that weighs 7.2 g per earbud, delivers up to 8 hours of listening per charge and a smaller charging case, and uses Shokz’s Bassphere driver and OpenBass 2.0 algorithm for stronger low end.
- Coverage notes that the OpenFit Air 2 does not include active noise reduction, a feature Shokz reserves for the higher‑priced OpenFit Pro, while both new models support app EQ profiles, Multipoint Bluetooth 6.1, and Find My Earbuds.
- By trimming weight, shrinking cases, upgrading drivers and undercutting higher‑end models on price, Shokz aims to broaden open‑ear use among outdoor athletes, commuters and workout users and could accelerate category adoption.
