Open-Ear Sound That Clips On
Some earbuds seal you off from the world; the Shokz OpenDots Air do the opposite. Each bud clips gently onto the outer ear with a nickel-titanium JointArc and skin-friendly silicone, leaving your ear canal open so you hear traffic, colleagues and your music all at once, carried by air-conduction sound rather than bone conduction. Each weighs roughly 6.3 g, and they run for up to 9 hours on a charge and up to 36 hours with the charging case. Finished in Daybreak Purple and rated IP55 for water resistance, they are made for the commute and the long walk home.
What Our Specialists at AD Rate Most
Our team keeps coming back to the Dynamic Ear Detection. Because there is no fixed left or right earbud, you can grab either one from the case and clip it on without a second thought. Pair that with the 10-minute quick charge that adds up to 2 hours of listening, and these are earbuds that fit around a busy day rather than dictating it.

Open-Ear Audio With Bassphere
Rather than sealing the ear canal, the OpenDots Air rest outside it and use air conduction to carry sound, so you remain aware of what is around you. Bassphere technology with DirectPitch shapes the audio, and the Shokz App offers 4 preset EQ modes plus 2 custom profiles for tuning to taste. For calls, each earbud carries 2 AI noise-cancelling microphones that focus on your voice and reduce background noise.
Up to 36 Hours With Case
Each earbud holds enough charge for up to 9 hours of listening, and the charging case extends that to a total of up to 36 hours before you need a plug. When time is short, a 10-minute quick charge adds up to 2 hours of playback. A full recharge takes about 1 hour for the earbuds and 2 hours for the case over its USB-C port; the case does not support wireless charging.
Fast Pairing and Multipoint
Pairing is quick thanks to Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair, which make the first connection fast and simple. The Shokz App adds multipoint, so you can keep more than one device connected and switch between them, and it is also where you customise the tap or pinch controls. The force sensor in each earbud handles playback, volume, track skipping and your voice assistant without touching your phone.
Clip-On Comfort at 6.3 g
A nickel-titanium JointArc with skin-friendly silicone clips each earbud to the outer ear, with nothing sitting inside the ear canal. At around 6.3 g per earbud, with the case adding 37.3 g, the complete set weighs about 49.9 g. Dynamic Ear Detection means there is no fixed left or right earbud, and an IP55 rating protects the earbuds from rain and splashes.
