Shokz, the industry pioneer of open-ear headphones, introduces the OpenFit Pro, the brand’s most revolutionary open-ear true wireless earbuds. Launching at CES 2026, these earbuds from Shokz are the first to feature its innovative synchronised dual-diaphragm driver and noise reduction. This enables users to enjoy superior sound quality and flexibly switch between immersive and open-ear listening modes to suit different environments.

Superior Sound with Rich Details

Powered by the uniquely developed Shokz SuperBoost™, OpenFit Pro delivers dynamic and distortion-free sound. Equipped with a synchronised dual-diaphragm driver design, the ultra-large diaphragms move in perfect sync to reveal rich detail, smooth highs, and deep lows.The innovative design features an aerospace-grade aluminium PMI dome cap that ensures high vibration consistency. The diaphragm is made with premium silicone to minimise distortion for smoother, punchy bass. 

To achieve true-to-life audio, Shokz OpenFit Pro is optimised for Dolby Atmos with head tracking, which delivers stunningly clear sound and rich detail, elevating the listening experience to a new level of realistic immersion. This allows users to feel more immersed when watching movies or listening to music. For those who prefer customisation, OpenFit Pro is also equipped with five preset and two customisable EQ profiles in the Shokz App, further enhancing the personalised listening experience. All of these demonstrate Shokz’s significant upgrades to its OpenSound system in open-ear audio technology.

A Balance of Awareness and Focus

For open-ear headphones, achieving noise reduction can be a challenge. Compared to its previous models, the OpenFit and OpenFit 2 series, OpenFit Pro is the first headphone from Shokz to feature open-ear noise reduction, combining signature open-ear design with innovative noise control to empower more choice. An innovative triple-mic system with the Shokz ear-adaptive algorithm predicts external and in-ear noise levels with precision, delivering finely-tuned noise reduction in real time. Through advanced acoustic modeling, OpenFit Pro delivers reliable noise reduction across different ear shapes and fits. Switching between modes allows environments like the office, cafés, and the gym to become more immersive, while in outdoor or cycling settings, users can stay open-eared and fully aware of their surroundings.

Through the Shokz app, users can manually adjust the noise reduction levels to match their environment, whether they need deeper focus or prefer to stay aware of what’s happening around them.

 Designed for Greater Convenience

OpenFit Pro is crafted with a seamless unibody design and features a raised-profile microphone with a Noise Reduction Ring. Engineered with anultra-soft silicone finish, plus ultra-thin nickel-titanium alloy ear hooks, OpenFit Pro offers a gentle skin-friendly touch and flexes to match the contours of different ear shapes for lasting comfort and stability.  With optional support accessories also available, users, especially those with smaller ears, can also enjoy an extra layer of security when needed.

With up to 12 hours on a single charge and up to 50 hours with the charging case, OpenFit Pro is built to meet the demands of modern life. Even in a hurry, users can listen for up to 4 hours with just 10-minutes of quick charging, while wireless charging ensures added convenience.

With OpenFit Pro, Shokz brings effortless user-friendliness to the next level. Waterproof physical buttons and wear detection make control simple, reliable, and smart. Multiple pairing, IP55 rating, and Bluetooth 6.1 ensures OpenFit Pro keeps up with you through every moment of the day.

Available in two colourways — black and white — OpenFit Pro will retail at £219 and will be available via pre-sale  atuk.shokz.com from 6th January.
