Between the intra headphones that tire the eardrums, those who fall to the slightest movement of the head or those who completely isolate you from the outside world (hello the frights crossing), there was always a detail that was blocking. But that was without counting on the American brand Shokz which comes out in the start of the school year the OpenFit 2+: new generation headphones that promise absolute comfort. All thought about urban, sports or work uses.
To see if the OpenFit 2 really hold their promises, we decided to test them even before their release. And of course, we also compared them to their predecessor openfit (which we had the chance to test). So what do we really think about it, here is our opinion after test on the OpenFit 2+ of Shokz.
An immersive sound without cutting off from the world
Unlike in-ear headphones, the OpenFit 2+ Shokz have No tip to insert. No pressure in the ear, no discomfort, even after several hours. The sound is issued by Open transducers, associated with technology DirectPitch ™, which uses inverted sound waves to direct the sound to the ear without it escapes around. Even in the metro, the sound leaks are almost zero and the Acute as the bass remain clear, rich and very present.
With theOpenbass 2.0 algorithm, the bass won deeply without stifling the rest. And thanks to Two microphones with noise reduction, the calls are clear, without interference, even in the middle of the urban hubbub. We are clearly on a model that improves everything that we reproached in the first version, especially the feeling of being “too open” to the environment. Here, we remain attentive to what is happening around (pedestrians, horns, station ads), but without ever sacrificing audio quality.
Without compromise comfort
Each earpiece weighs only 9.4 g and it changes everything. Even with Small ears, they are forgotten. And yet, they hold perfectly in place. It is due to their Nickel-Titane (Ni-Ti) alloy ear hook, flexible but firm, which naturally marries the contours of the ear.
There Internal structure in ultra-soft silicone guarantees a pleasant outfit, without friction or discomfort, even for the most sensitive. They are even resistant to water and perspiration thanks to their IP55 certification: We can therefore wear them in the rain, by bike or during a sports session without worry.
And if you tend to wear them all day, you will love it: they stay in place, Even during a bicycle trip or a sprint to catch the bus. Autonomy follows the pace, with 11 hours of non-stop listening, or 48 hours with the case, which recharges quickly and even goes into wireless.
The intelligent ergonomics that we expected
Each earpiece now has A discreet physical button, located outside, right next to the sound outlet. It is not an uncertain touch zone as on the old model: Pressure allows you to pause or resume listening (or take a call), two pressures to go to the next track, three to go back. This Simple and precise system works without latency or false manipulation.
Icing on the cake, equalization parameters and shortcuts are Customizable in the Shokz app. We can even Top between two paired devices (computer and telephone, for example), without having to reconfigure everything. A real pleasure on a daily basis and a point very regularly quoted in the tests and OPENFIT 2+ Shokz reviews published in recent weeks.
So what is our opinion after test on the OpenFit 2+ of Shokz?
This new model brings together everything we hoped for: a tailor-made comfort, a long -lasting autonomy, a design designed for life in motion and above all a its clear and immersive without being cut off from its environment. We even used it in a meeting (in the left ear only), in the kitchen, in a ride and in a plane: and At no time did we need to remove them. If you still hesitate, this Shokz OpenFit 2+ test should be enough to convince you: this is probably one of the best sound/sound quality/market autonomy ratio in 2025.
