Shokz has established itself as an essential reference in open-ear audio, thanks to a technological approach that places both innovation and comfort at the heart of its philosophy. Two recent models, the OpenDots ONE and OpenSwim Pro, perfectly illustrate this vision. The former revisits the experience of everyday earbuds with a discreet, elegant format, while the latter is aimed at water sports and outdoor enthusiasts, combining robustness and versatility.
Shokz OpenDots ONE: elegance and light weight
The Shokz OpenDots ONE are the brand’s first clip-on earbuds, designed to be both comfortable and discreet. Their earring-like design not only looks good, it also keeps the ears free, allowing you to remain aware of your surroundings in urban environments or during physical activities. At just 6.5g per earbud, they are virtually imperceptible, and can be worn without discomfort for many hours. The JointArc titanium alloy system provides both flexibility and strength, guaranteeing a secure fit even during the most dynamic workouts. Shokz has designed these earbuds as a natural extension of the ear, suitable for both daily commutes and sports sessions.
The OpenDots ONE feature 16mm dual transducers with Bassphere and OpenBass 2.0 technologies, delivering deep, textured lows. The Dolby Audio mode adds an immersive dimension reminiscent of the energy of a live concert, while DirectPitch technology ensures privacy by reducing sound leakage. Versatility is further enhanced by wireless charging compatibility and an autonomy of 10 hours per charge, extendable to 40 hours with the case. Add to this IP54 water resistance, customizable touch controls and multipoint pairing, and you have a product designed for seamless, modern use, as effective at work as it is during outdoor activities.

Their triple-sealed design, reinforced by a breathable membrane and multi-layer structure, makes them equally suitable for swimming pools and demanding outdoor environments. Their light weight and flexible ear hooks guarantee a comfortable fit, compatible with goggles, swim caps and other sports equipment.
But what really sets the OpenSwim Pro apart is their dual Bluetooth + MP3 functionality. In Bluetooth mode, they are seamlessly integrated with your connected devices for everyday use, while their 32GB internal storage (up to 8,000 songs) means total autonomy when swimming or in areas without a network. Battery life reaches 9 hours with Bluetooth and 6 hours in MP3 mode, with a quick recharge offering 3 hours of listening time in just 10 minutes. Sports enthusiasts will also appreciate the optimized physical buttons, which remain reliable even underwater, and the sound clarity provided by PremiumPitch 2.0+ technology.
