Runners and commuters can grab Shokz OpenFit 2+ open earbuds at a 50% discount on Amazon, lowering the cost to $99.95 from its original $199.95 price point, NBC News reported.
The price cut arrives two weeks ahead of Black Friday. This model serves as an upgraded version of the Shokz OpenFit 2, which holds the top ranking in the outlet’s guide to open earbuds.
Soft silicone ear hooks hold each bud outside the ear canal rather than sealing it. This open design lets users listen to audio while staying aware of environmental sounds like oncoming traffic.
The OpenFit 2+ pairs a bass driver with a separate driver dedicated to mids and highs to compensate for low-frequency limitations common in open-ear designs. Users can activate Dolby Audio through the Shokz companion app for a more spacious soundstage, though this feature reduces overall playback time by approximately two hours.
The earbuds deliver up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge.
The charging case extends total battery life up to 48 hours and supports Qi wireless charging. A quick 10-minute charge restores about two hours of listening time.
Physical buttons on each bud remain operable in cold and wet weather conditions, even when wearing gloves. Each individual bud weighs 9.4 grams, supports simultaneous multi-device pairing, and utilizes four AI-enhanced microphones to reduce background noise during calls.
Open-ear designs lack active noise cancellation (ANC), meaning they cannot block ambient sound effectively in loud environments like subway cars or airline flights. Shoppers seeking isolation from background noise must choose traditional closed-ear wireless models instead.
The 50% discount brings the hardware to its lowest price ever recorded. The promotion targets runners, cyclists, and daily commuters who prioritize situational awareness alongside portable audio.
