How long does the battery last?
Shokz rates them at up to 8 hours per charge and up to 36 hours with the case. A 10-minute charge gives up to 3 hours of listening.
Do they have noise cancelling?
No. They sit outside your ear canal, so you still hear the world around you. Shokz's DirectPitch design helps keep your music from spilling out to people nearby.
Will they stay on during a workout?
They use an ear hook with a 0.75mm Ni-Ti alloy frame that curls around the back of your ear, and each earbud weighs 7.2 g.
Are they waterproof?
The earbuds are rated IP55, so they handle sweat, splashes and sudden rain.
Can they connect to two devices at once?
Yes. Multipoint pairing connects them to two devices at once, such as your phone and laptop, and switches between them.
How are they for phone calls?
Two microphones with AI noise reduction keep your voice clear in busy places like cafes and gyms.
How do the controls work?
Each earbud has a pressure-sensitive button. Press once to play or pause, twice for the next track and three times for the previous one. Press and hold the left button to turn the volume down and the right button to turn it up.
What changed from the original OpenFit Air?
Shokz added its Bassphere driver and OpenBass 2.0 for fuller bass, raised battery life to 8 hours per charge, swapped touch controls for pressure-sensitive buttons and moved to Bluetooth 6.1. The earbuds are now rated IP55 and weigh 7.2 g each, lighter than before.
What comes in the box?
Two earbuds, the charging case, a user guide, legal information and a warranty card. A USB-C charging cable is not included.
What if I lose one earbud?
Shokz sells a single replacement earbud, so you do not have to buy a new pair. Loss is not covered by the standard warranty.
