Shokz Breaks the Mold with Open-Ear Noise Cancellation Technology
In a bold move, Shokz has introduced its OpenFit Pro open wireless earbuds, which boast an innovative noise cancellation system that defies conventional wisdom. Unlike traditional in-ear buds or those with semi-in-ear design, the OpenFit Pro utilizes three microphones to monitor and adapt to your surroundings, generating precise inverse sound waves that reduce unwanted noise.
The key to Shokz's approach lies in its novel use of technology, which doesn't involve blocking your ears like conventional ANC systems. Instead, users can press a button to engage the noise reduction feature, providing an unparalleled level of flexibility and convenience. The OpenFit Pro earbuds have already shown impressive results during my brief demo, effectively silencing background noise even without music playing.
The technology relies on three microphones: one for monitoring your surroundings, another for enhancing noise reduction, and a third for predicting in-ear noise. This clever setup enables the earbuds to adapt to changing environments and loudness levels, providing an optimal listening experience. Moreover, users can manually adjust the noise reduction level if desired.
In terms of sound quality, the OpenFit Pro earbuds deliver impressive results, thanks to a dual-diaphragm 11 × 20 mm ultra-large driver. Battery life is expected to be around 6 hours on a single charge when the noise reduction feature is engaged, which is comparable to other regular wireless earbuds with ANC.
While the price tag of $250 may seem steep for some, it's worth noting that Shokz' competitors, such as Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, can reach up to $300 without offering any noise cancellation. The OpenFit Pro earbuds are now available for pre-order, with priority shipping set to begin on January 12 for early bird buyers.
With the OpenFit Pro, Shokz has successfully redefined the boundaries of open-ear wireless earbuds, offering a unique combination of sound quality, flexibility, and convenience that sets it apart from the competition.
