Shokz's OpenFit 2 feautre the company's new DualBoost Technology, which features two individual speakers per earbud, one for bass, and one for high frequency. The separation enables "more refined music details" according to Shokz. Coupled with its OpenBass 2.0 tech, this should provide a pretty sumptuous listening experience, and a solid upgrade over the original
OpenFit.
The buds are designed to be comfortable to wear all day, offering 11 hours of battery life on a single charge. They have a slightly tweaked spiral design, and the earhook is made from more flexible material for security and comfort. Each bud weights less than 10 grams, too.
Also new to the OpenFit 2 is an upgraded control system featuring physical buttons and touch controls. Functions include track skipping,
playing/pausing, and taking calls. Dual microphones and noise-canceling technology power the latter to help with call audio.
In the US the Shokz OpenFit 2 are available now from Shokz.com and Amazon for $179.95 .
