September 22nd, 2025 — Today, our newest workout earbuds, the Shokz x HYROX OpenFit 2+, are available for purchase along with the OpenFit 2+ standard edition, which comes in graygrey and black. Get ready for a completely new listening experience with a secure, comfortable fit. Powered by innovative Shokz DualBoost™ Technology and Dolby Audio, OpenFit 2+ delivers rich, immersive sound with crystal-clear clarity. Feel the deep bass, vibrant mids, and crisp highs, whether you’re dominating the pickleball courts or working out at the gym. 

Shokz x HYROX – Sound Meets Sweat

The partnership between Shokz and HYROX is rooted in a mutual desire to motivate people who love fitness and inspire those who want to get more involved. It can be hard to wake up early and jog around the neighborhood, or hit the gym before a full day of work. That’s where Shokz open-ear audio comes in. It gives you that jolt, that rhythm, that bass drop to help you push through your training and keep you coming back for more.  

By the same token, it can be isolating to pursue your fitness goals alone. But with HYROX, you can find a community of fitness lovers who thrive on competition and pushing their limits. Together, Shokz and HYROX are taking fitness to new heights – and new sounds – and what better way to do this than to release the all-new OpenFit 2+!

Enhanced Sound Quality

With upgraded technology and Dolby Audio, OpenFit 2+ delivers even bigger, sharper sound than its predecessors.

Compared to OpenFit 2, the OpenFit 2+ features Dolby Audio, delivering crystal-clear sound and deeper, more dimensional audio. Every layer of the soundscape comes alive, surrounding you in rich, lifelike detail.

By using two independent drivers, this groundbreaking technology processes low and high frequencies separately to create a more expansive soundstage. This, combined with its open-ear design, allows you to enjoy your music and calls while remaining aware of your surroundings.

Focusing on sound directionality, the Shokz OpenBass™ 2.0 algorithm is engineered to pump deep, powerful bass directly and precisely to your ears. This ensures that you can fully enjoy bass-heavy tracks without compromising high-frequency clarity.

DirectPitch™ 2.0 is designed to provide clear, focused audio without disturbing those around you, making it perfect for personal use and situations requiring discretion. Regardless of your environment, this innovation ensures a crisp, undistorted listening experience.

Secure, Comfortable Fit

Like OpenFit 2, the OpenFit 2+ offers a secure, comfortable fit, even during prolonged listening sessions and high-intensity training.

Inspired by the golden spiral, the flexible ear hook is engineered to contour to the unique shape of your ear. Plus, its integrated nickel-titanium alloy frame ensures a secure, personalized fit that adapts to your movements, whether you're powering through an intense workout or simply going about your day.

Ultra-Soft Silicone™ 2.0 is a state-of-the-art material that’s softer than ever and designed to gently cushion your ears. Its secure fit keeps the earbuds comfortably in place for hours, so you can enjoy your favorite tunes all day long, without any discomfort.

Charge Faster, Listen Longer

For OpenFit 2 Series earbuds, you can enjoy up to 48 hours of total listening time with the charging case and up to 11 hours of battery life with a single charge. And if you’re in a hurry, a quick 10-minute charge can add 2 hours of listening time. 

The newest OpenFit 2+ provides even more convenience with Qi wireless charging. All you have to do is place it down on the pad and power up.

Shokz Signature Open-Ear Design

This signature design offers numerous benefits, helping to keep you safer and healthier while also fostering a more social listening experience:

With OpenFit 2, you can immerse yourself in your music and take phone calls while also staying aware of your surroundings. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who love indoor workouts and outdoor adventures.

The open-ear design helps reduce the risk of ear damage and bacterial buildup, problems often linked to wearing traditional earbuds for long periods of time. More specifically, OpenFit 2+ prioritizes your ear health by allowing continuous airflow and natural sound transmission without sacrificing audio quality.

Enjoy seamless interaction with the world around you, whether you’re chatting with friends during fitness training or attending an important business meeting. Ultimately, the design makes it easier to stay connected and engaged, so your listening experience doesn’t have to be isolating.
