OpenFit Air offers a new level of comfort, with a teardrop-shaped cross-section that minimizes pressure and a design that ensures adaptability and folds around the curves of every ear. They are perfect for staying situationally aware, whether working out, streaming music at work (in the office or at home), commuting or more, and can be worn comfortably all day.

The earbuds are designed for a secure fit in your ear. The engineers at Shokz Labs established that a 25.5° angle moves the center of gravity closer to the ear, creating a lighter-than-air feeling. The beveled driver housing at 18° enables the earbuds to fit better in your ear, further securing the earbud and ensuring it's in place for any activity.

“The evolution of our headphones have led us directly to OpenFit Air, open-ear earbuds that are ideal for working out, commuting, working or studying and leisure,” said Vincent Xiong, Chief Executive Officer at Shokz. “The team is proud of the excellent engineering to design a secure yet ergonomic earbud with natural audio. The lightweight design and case make OpenFit Air the perfect everyday earbud.”

OpenFit Air’s DirectPitch™ technology, immerses users in their favorite movies, songs, podcasts, and audiobooks with a full audio experience, along with Shokz OpenBass™ Air, Shokz proprietary low-frequency enhancement, bringing deep bass and detailed richness.
