Published by Julian Maas on the 21. August 2025

Open design with clip mechanism

The OpenDots ONE utilize a clip-on design made of flexible titanium alloy (JointArc technology) that connects the speakers to the battery module. This ensures a secure fit without creating pressure points. A silicone coating on the contact points further enhances comfort.

The open design allows you to hear your surroundings. This is a benefit for commuters or users who want to be aware of their surroundings. Dynamic Ear Detection automatically detects which ear the earbuds are worn on and starts playback accordingly. With IP54 certification, the earbuds are protected against sweat and splashes of water, even during exercise.

Sound with Dolby Audio

Despite their compact design, weighing just 6,5 grams per earbud, Shokz promises a powerful sound. Shokz integrates a dual-driver system with a 16 mm driver that utilizes technologies such as Bassphere and OpenBass 2.0 to enhance low frequencies.

It also supports Dolby Audio, which is designed to provide immersive sound. Touch gestures are used for playback, calls, and volume. Four AI-assisted noise-cancelling microphones are integrated for phone calls.
