Shokz OpenDots Air – Open-Ear Clip-On Earbuds
The Shokz OpenDots Air are open-ear clip-on earbuds designed for everyday listening on the bike, on the run or on the commute. The nickel-titanium JointArc frame flexes gently around the ear for a secure, lightweight hold that stays put without blocking your ear canal, keeping you aware of traffic, group chat and surroundings. Each earbud weighs just 6.3 g, making them comfortable enough to forget you’re wearing them on long sessions.
Shokz Bassphere technology delivers clear, balanced audio with a noticeable bass lift from a compact housing. Four preset EQ modes and two custom profiles in the Shokz app let you tune the sound for music, podcasts or calls. Dual air-conduction microphones per earbud with noise reduction keep calls clear when you’re out and about. Left and right earbuds are interchangeable, and pinch controls on the stem handle playback, volume and calls without reaching for your phone.
Battery life covers a full day. The earbuds run for up to 9 hours of music on a single charge, with the charging case extending that to 36 hours total. A 10-minute quick charge adds around 2 hours of listening. The earbuds carry an IP55 rating against sweat and light rain, though the case is not waterproof, and the buds are not intended for swimming or water sports.
