Understanding the Open-Ear Audio Technology behind OpenFit 2 Series

In today’s multimedia, multi-tasking world, you shouldn’t have to settle for either/or binaries. For audio technology, this means you shouldn’t have to choose between either hearing your music or hearing your surroundings. But with Shokz Open Sound, you no longer have to make that choice. You can get the best of both worlds without having to compromise on sound quality or comfort.

 

Okay… But Really?

So you can get the best of both worlds, and with their compact lightweight design, open-ear headphones are presumably quite comfortable as well. But you’re probably wondering, is there really no compromise on sound quality? 

Let’s be honest: they sit further from the eardrum, and there’s no acoustic isolation. So can open-ear audio devices truly deliver deep, powerful bass? 

Our newest OpenFit 2 Series earbuds are not only proof that they can, but these earbuds are also redefining what open-ear audio can sound like.

 

Secure, Comfortable Fit with Dynamic Sound

OpenFit 2 Series earbuds offer a secure and comfortable fit thanks to their flexible ear-hook design, which is crafted with an inner layer of Shokz Ultra-Soft Silicone™ 2.0. They also leverage groundbreaking innovations, like Shokz DualBoostTM Technology, to deliver resonant bass and bright highs with exceptional detail. 

 

Open-Ear Audio Redefined

Open-ear audio has long been associated with weaker bass and thinner sound. This is due to a couple reasons. Because they don’t seal your ear canal, low frequencies can escape instead of being trapped and amplified. And they tend to have smaller drivers in order to accommodate their more compact, lightweight designs.

OpenFit 2 Series earbuds, however, deliver surprisingly powerful bass without the need for a bulky design. In fact, their sleek appearance is inspired by the perfect ratios of the golden spiral. The way they achieve a detailed, balanced sound profile is by using 2 drivers, one for high and another for low frequencies. So you can feel those deep, punchy beats vibrating through your body and still keep your ears open to the world.

 

Powerful Bass 

Powered by DualBoostTM Technology, OpenFit 2 Series earbuds feature an 11x21mm low-frequency driver – that’s 16.7% larger than previous generations. It’s crafted with a custom composite diaphragm, with a high-performance polymer surround, to reduce distortion and ensure a richer, deeper bass response. 

 

The OpenFit 2 Series bass not only sounds stronger – it shows. In the lab, the bass sends visible ripples across a tray of water, far more than the competitor’s.

 

Precision & Clarity

Aside from deeper lows, DualBoostTM Technology also delivers precision and clarity. This is made possible by the two independent drivers, which process different parts of the audio spectrum separately. By isolating the frequencies, OpenFit 2 Series earbuds deliver crisper, more detailed sound across lows, mids, and highs. 

To demonstrate this sound fidelity, we use the Chladni Graphic Experiment. When sound waves from OpenFit 2 Series earbuds pass through a surface, they form precise, symmetrical patterns, showing just how accurately they reproduce audio. What you hear is remarkably true to the original recording.

Conclusion

With OpenFit 2 Series earbuds, you no longer have to choose between comfort and quality. Instead, you get open-ear safety; a secure, comfortable fit; and crisp highs and powerful lows thanks to DualBoostTM Technology. They’re perfect for those long commutes, long workouts, and long days at the office. So say hello to not just a new form of audio, but a new standard for open-ear sound.
