CES 2026: Shokz OpenFit Pro Earbuds
At CES 2026, Shokz announced the OpenFit Pro earbuds. These open-ear headphones transform the way you listen to your favorite artists or podcasters. Each of the innovative features contributes to the earbuds' ability to deliver immersive audio, all while reducing unwanted background sounds.
Cutting-Edge Noise Cancellation
The Shokz OpenFit Pro earbuds produce TÜV-certified noise reduction—and this is the first open-ear headphone model to do so. This certification means the headphones provide long-lasting comfort, all while reducing unwanted background sound. Combining a triple-mic system with an ear-adaptive algorithm, these earbuds analyze external sounds to provide stable noise cancellation. The advanced algorithm constantly measures background acoustics, allowing the buds to adapt in real-time. These settings can also be adjusted manually, giving you complete control over the level of noise awareness that you hear.
The noise cancellation abilities even extend to phone and video conversations. As you speak, AI voice recognition technology works with the triple-mic array to lock onto your voice while simultaneously minimizing up to 99.4% of external sounds. This feature works with custom wind-control technology to ensure peak clarity throughout the entire call. A Noise Reduction Ring on the Shokz OpenFit Pro earbuds further guarantees optimal audio performance. This ring effectively captures your voice, whether you're chatting and relaxing at a loud cafe or enjoying the sounds of the great outdoors while you record audio.
Unparalleled Audio for Music, Podcasts and More
With innovation at its core, the Shokz OpenFit Pro earbuds are packed with features to turn each listening session into an immersive one. Dynamic head tracking keeps audio moving with you for more realistic playback. When you hit play on your favorite playlists or podcasts, Shokz SuperBoost™ syncs the dual diaphragms within the ultra-large driver. This synchronization creates distortion-free audio and expands the frequency range, bringing your music to life with stunning highs and deep lows. OpenBass 2.0 adds more depth to bass notes, allowing you to feel each one within your chest. To top it off, DirectPitch™ 3.0 decreases sound leakage, ensuring that you're the only one who can hear your music. No matter where you go, these advanced open-ear headphones deliver steady, true-to-life audio.
Effortlessly Personalize Playback
The Shokz App allows you to explore everything that the OpenFit Pro earbuds have to offer. Within the app, you can adjust noise reduction, assign different functions to the control buttons and quickly locate your buds. You'll also have access to the five EQ presets: Standard, Vocal, Bass Boost, Treble Boost and Private. For more control, use the two custom profiles to create the ultimate listening session tailored to your unique preferences.
Comfort That Lasts for Hours
The OpenFit Pro earbuds are designed to remain secure within your ear and provide comfort that lasts for hours. The titanium-enhanced components are lightweight yet durable, providing years of high-quality playback. The Shokz Ultra-Soft Silicone™ 2.0 material gently rests against your ear while the open design prevents excess pressure. This keeps your ears relaxed and comfortable during longer periods of use. The flexible ear hooks allow you to adjust the fit to match the unique shape of your ear. This level of security means you can complete intense workouts without worrying about a bud falling out.
More Unique Shokz Features
Shokz has incorporated more innovation into its latest headphones. The Shokz OpenFit Pro earbuds have an IP55 rating, making them water-resistant. So a little rain or sweat won’t put a stop to your music. Before you head out, make sure the buds are fully charged to get up to 12 hours of battery life. Or use the included charging case for a total of 50 hours. If needed, a quick 10-minute charge gives an extra four hours. So you won’t have to go long without your favorite tunes or podcasts. As you listen, seamlessly switch between your laptop and your phone by connecting to both devices simultaneously. This multi-point connection is a standout feature of these open-ear headphones and makes them a definite CES innovation.
The Shokz OpenFit Pro earbuds are currently available for pre-order for $249.95.
