Introduction
Did you just purchase the all-new OpenFit 2? Are you curious about how to get the most out of your new earbuds? Well, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we’ll cover all the basic controls and even some of the more advanced features, like Multipoint Pairing. The OpenFit 2 offers a more comfortable fit and a truly immersive listening experience; by mastering these tips, you’ll be able to tap into its full potential.
How to wear
With its Ultra-Soft SiliconeTM 2.0 design, the OpenFit 2 is more cozy and flexible than ever, but it’s also easy to put on. Start by taking the earbuds out of the case and positioning them so that the end of the hook is level with the rim of your ear. Next, gently rotate the earbuds clockwise, allowing the hook to slide behind and gently curl around the outer ear, while the core fits snugly against the inside. And voilà – you’re now ready to enjoy your favorite audio.
Earbud Controls
The OpenFit 2 and its accompanying charging case have a total of four buttons: the Touch Area, located on the flat part of the core, just beside the printed Shokz logo; the Physical Button on the earbuds, located on the side of the core, just below the printed Shokz logo; the Charging Case Button, located inside the case, just below the earbud storage section; and the Indicator, located outside the case, along its front edge.
The Physical Buttons control music, incoming calls, and volume. You can play or pause a song with a single click, skip to the next song with a double-click, and return to the previous song with a triple-click. If there’s an incoming call, just press the button once to answer, and press it again to hang up. A double-click will ignore the call and send it to voicemail.
Is the volume too low? Press and hold the button on the right earbud to turn up the sound; conversely, use the left earbud to lower the sound.
Let’s say you’re in the middle of an activity and unable to manually scroll through your device. No problem! Audrey, your Shokz voice assistant, can help you out. To use this feature, press and hold the Touch Area until you hear her voice. Please note that this is not a default setting; it needs to be activated through the Shokz App.
Finally, the Indicator provides information on battery level. While charging, it’s solid orange, and once finished, it becomes solid green. When the earbuds are inside the charging case, it’ll display the battery level, with solid green signifying high and solid orange signifying low. When the earbuds aren’t inside, the Indicator will display the battery level of the charging case itself using the same color scheme.
MultiPoint Pairing
With Multipoint Pairing, you can effortlessly switch between two devices. Upon opening the charging case for the first time, your OpenFit 2 will automatically enter Bluetooth pairing mode and the Indicator will flash orange and green alternately. To complete the pairing process, open the Bluetooth settings page on your device and select “OpenFit 2 by Shokz.”
If you ever need to re-enter pairing mode, simply place both earbuds back into the charging case, then press and hold the Charging Case Button for 3 seconds until the Indicator flashes orange and green automatically.
To connect a second device, open the Shokz App and select the “MultiPoint Pairing” option. A pop-up will confirm that you want to activate this function. After doing so, you select the “Connect to the Second Device” option and follow the instructions to complete the process.
Switching EQ Modes
Your OpenFit 2 is equipped with four EQ modes. Standard Mode provides a balanced frequency and is ideal for listening to music on a daily basis. Vocal Mode enhances the mid frequencies and is better suited for listening to audiobooks, podcasts, etc.
Bass Boost, on the other hand, enhances the low frequencies and is designed for music with a strong rhythm, while Treble Boost enhances the high frequencies, making it best suited for lighter, more relaxing music.
To toggle between any of these EQ modes, press and hold both Volume buttons while music is playing until you hear a beep. You can also do this through the Shokz App.
Download Shokz App
To get the most out of your new earbuds, we suggest you download the Shokz App. It allows you to switch between EQ modes, manage MultiPoint Pairing, check your battery levels in real time, and so much more. You can get firmware updates immediately via the app and also find lost earbuds using the one-click ringing feature.
To further customize your audio experience, you can create your own EQ mode and personalize the control system to match your preferences. This means you can change the button controls for things like playing or pausing music, skipping tracks, or adjusting volume. There’s simply no better way to explore the various features of your OpenFit 2 than by downloading the Shokz app.
