Shokz OpenFit 2+ Dolby Earbuds Review: Better for Calls?
The OpenFit for people who live on calls. It adds Dolby Audio, four microphones and a case that charges on a wireless pad [1].
Yes, for someone who takes calls all day and already owns a wireless charger. The 2+ adds Dolby Audio, four AI microphones and a wireless charging case to the OpenFit design [1]. If a cable is fine, the OpenFit 2 covers the same use.

Pros and cons
- Wireless charging matters only with a charging pad at home
- Earhooks share space with glasses arms
Calls first
The 2+ is built around calls. Four AI-enhanced microphones filter background noise [1], and multipoint pairing keeps a phone and a laptop connected at once [1].
For someone who jumps from a phone call on a walk to a video meeting at the desk, that switch is the daily win.
Open-ear design also changes how calls feel. With the ear canal open, people hear their own voice naturally, so long calls feel less tiring than with sealed earbuds that make your voice boom in your head.
Dolby Audio and the driver pair
A seventeen millimeter low frequency driver handles bass, an independent tweeter handles highs, and Dolby Audio can be switched on in the app [1]. The result is the most detailed sound in the OpenFit line according to Shokz [1].
The earhooks weigh about nine grams and use a softer silicone at the contact points [1]. IP55 covers sweat and splashes [1].
Charging and fit notes
Battery is up to eleven hours, forty eight with the case, and ten minutes of charging gives two hours [1]. The case also charges on a wireless pad [1].
That feature only helps someone with a pad on the nightstand. Without one, the OpenFit 2 does the same job. As with any earhook, glasses wearers may notice the overlap.
Physical multifunction buttons handle play, pause, volume and tracks, and the app lets you remap them [1]. For a person who hates touch panels, that is a quiet advantage.
Gift it to the meeting person
It suits remote workers, managers and anyone on calls between errands. Open-ear means they still hear the doorbell and the kids.
From the same guide, the standard OpenFit is the same shape with a cable case, and the OpenDots ONE is the clip-on option for glasses wearers.
Pair it with a wireless charging pad if they do not own one. It turns the case into a drop and go habit.
