A: Hi there- Shokz here! OpenDots ONE uses Bassphere™ Technology to pack 2 circular drivers into a sleek, spherical module. This design not only delivers punchy, low-frequency sound but also keeps things compact and minimizes sound leakage. These do have an Open-Ear design, so very loud ambient noise may be heard. Ear plugs can be used to reduce loud ambient noise environments. Please reach out to our Customer Happiness Team if you have any questions. Thank you!
Q: I'm curious about the SHOKZ OpenDots ONE phone call performance.
A: The sound very clear on a phone call. Nobody has complained they could not hear me on the other end.

I’ve had these Shokz OpenDots for about a week now, and I bought them with my own hard-earned cash. No freebie, no influencer deal, just a guy trying to keep his ears happy. My wife’s been raving about Shokz for years, but I stayed loyal to my AirPods Pros… until I stumbled across the Shokz kiosk at Best Buy and tried on every single style like a kid in a candy store. The OpenDots won me over, not because they’re flashy (they’re not), but because they just work—especially with glasses. They look a little different at first, but wear them once and you stop caring and so does everyone else. The sound is shockingly immersive. I wasn’t expecting that from something that doesn’t even go inside your ear. I turned on the Deep Bass setting in the app, and wow—these things absolutely punch. Podcasts, music, calls—they all sound crisp, clear, and far better than “open-ear” should allow. They’ve held steady on my ears through ruck hikes, a 4-mile run with sprints, and even cycling. ZERO slipping. No adjusting. My mind has been blown. And here’s a bonus I didn’t expect: While waiting at the barber shop with my son, I handed him one bud and kept the other for myself so he could hear a video I wanted him to see. It hit me—this is way more sanitary to share than traditional earbuds. Since they rest on the ear instead of in it, there’s no earwax handoff. Major win. A few standout wins: - Seamless switching between iPhone and Mac—just make sure to toggle that feature on in the app. - Battery life is no joke. After three hours, I still had 70% left. - Universal earbuds: you can stick either bud in either ear and they’ll still charge in any slot. Whoever designed that deserves a raise. Now, the nitpicks: - No volume control on the buds. I have an Apple Watch that can control the volume, so it’s not a dealbreaker, but I do miss being able to slide up or down like I can on my AirPods Pros. - After 2 hours, I start to feel a little ear fatigue. Not painful, just noticeable. It’s probably going to take my body some time to get used to this design so I can leave them in longer. - No “Find My” feature. If I lose the case, I’m on my own. Might need to slap an AirTag on it like I do when I take my kids to Disney haha. Bottom line: These are different-looking earbuds that sound amazing, feel great, and somehow manage to work better than any other Shokz designs if you wear glasses. Whether you’re logging serious workouts or catching up on podcasts around the house, these let you stay connected to your audio and your surroundings—so you won’t miss a beat (or a “Dad, come here!” from the other room). If you're on the fence, I was too. But now I get the hype.

SO as it’s getting warmer where I live at and using my AirPods Max is not that comfortable so when I saw the email that Shokz was releasing something new I kept my eyes open. I was super excited to see it was a pair of open air ear buds. I’ve been eyeing Bose version since last year but the price tag kept me from buying which I’m glad I didn’t. My primary concern was if I’d be able to use them with my hearing aids on (I use around the ear hearing aids). Instantly they felt great so I decided to put them on for 5 hours to make sure… 5 hours later I decided I’ll be keeping them! A lot of great features. Find My surprised me and having tap features is a must for me since the first AirPods came out years ago. Turning Dolby Digital on makes a big difference and EQ customization is awesome (I used Flossy Carter’s setting, check him out his YouTube channel for dope tech reviews including Open Dot buds). Multi pairing so far is smooth. Another plus but wouldn’t have been a deal breaker is wireless charging. Charges perfect on my MagSafe charger. They are also interchangeable so you can use either bud on any ear. If I had to find something I don’t like is not having more control on how much you can customize but I’m ok with the options that are available and drop the price $25. So if you’re like me and have hearing/ear issues THESE ARE MOST DEFINITELY FOR YOU!!! Or if you want the ultimate transparency experience because awareness is your concern then these are for you as well. Overall I’m very happy with them and even happier I found ear buds to switch it up when I don’t want to use my over the ear headphones.

As a long-time Shokz enthusiast, having owned the OpenRun, OpenRun 2, and OpenFit 2, I thought I knew what to expect from open-ear audio. But the new Shokz OpenDots ONE have completely reset the bar! The sound quality is simply excellent – rich, clear, and surprisingly immersive for an open-ear design. In fact, I'd go as far as to say it even surpasses the highly-regarded Bose Open Ultras, offering a depth and clarity I wasn't expecting. The fit is certainly a unique departure from traditional headphones, and admittedly, it might feel a little unconventional at first glance. However, once you have them positioned correctly, they truly become almost unnoticeable. Unless you're already a fan of the open-ear aesthetic like the Bose, the discreet design quickly fades into the background. What's truly remarkable is how they don't interfere at all with glasses or piercings, a huge plus for many. Ultimately, the Shokz OpenDots ONE offer the most unobtrusive fit I've experienced in any open-ear headphone, and they do so without compromising on audio quality. If you're looking for a listening experience that keeps you connected to your surroundings without sacrificing excellent sound, look no further. These are a game-changer!
