Introduction

With winter holiday just around the corner, we want to make holiday gift shopping as uncomplicated as possible. After all, a thoughtful gift can make the season memorable. That’s where Shokz comes in. Whether your loved one is a runner, music lover, or style enthusiast, there’s a pair of open-ear headphones made just for them, at a bargain price of under $200.

In this gift guide, we’ll cover three of our top picks – the OpenDots ONE, OpenRun Pro 2, and OpenFit 2+ – and discuss how you can give the gift of sound, comfort, and freedom this holiday season. 

OpenDots ONE: Style Meets Comfort

For the friend who’s always on the go and juggling work, yoga, and travel, the OpenDots ONE is the ideal holiday gift. It’s sleek, compact, and stylish, combining a minimalist design with smart functionality. Unlike most earbuds, it can automatically detect which earbud is in which ear, so you can wear and store them interchangeably, a particularly useful feature for busy lifestyles.

As the smallest and lightest earbuds from Shokz, the OpenDots ONE also boasts a clip-on design that’s virtually unnoticeable on your ears. Plus, it combines a durable nickel-titanium plate with a soft silicone grip to provide comfort and stability during all-day wear. For the friend who values both style and practicality, this is definitely the perfect gift. 

Best for: Fashion-forward friends who love minimalist design

Tip: The pink version adds a subtle holiday charm 

OpenRun Pro 2: Power Meets Endurance

For the person who never misses a run, rain or shine, the OpenRun Pro 2 is the gift that keeps every step in rhythm. With its IP55 rating, bone conduction technology, and open-ear design, it allows users to stay aware of their surroundings, so workouts can remain safe even during busy holiday streets or wet winter trails. 

In addition, OpenRun Pro 2 features ergonomic ear hooks and a weight-optimized unibody frame for a truly secure fit, and thanks to DualBoostTM Technology, it delivers powerful bass to energize your holidays. These headphones are a game changer for holiday runs, early-morning workouts, and winter training sessions. 

Best for: Outdoor runners and cyclists who value safety and sound quality

Tip: ideal for winter workouts or anyone who wants to stay active while enjoying music 

OpenFit 2+: Premium Sound for Every Workout

For the loved one who treats every workout like a battlefield, the OpenFit 2+ is the armor they need to win every battle. It combines two independent drivers to deliver powerful low-frequency vibrations and sparkling highs. And with the OpenBass™ 2.0 algorithm, you can enjoy deep, resonant bass, directed precisely to your ears only.   

The OpenFit 2+ earbuds are also equipped with Dolby Audio. This creates a rich, immersive soundstage that brings even the smallest details to life. 

Best for: Fitness enthusiasts who want premium sound and comfort 

Tip: Pair with workout gear for the ultimate gift
