Shokz OpenDots 2 schwarz

Bisher mussten sich Clip-Ons im Open-Ear-Sektor der Alternative mit Ohrbügeln konsequent geschlagen geben. Ob die Shokz OpenDots 2 das ändern können? Wir machen den Test.

Die federleichten Shokz OpenDots 2 punkten mit modischem Styling, hohem Tragekomfort und praxistauglicher Funktionalität. Die Herstelleridee des freien Gehörgangs bleibt dabei mit all ihren Vorteilen erhalten. Dem konstruktionsbedingten Nachteil bei der Musikwiedergabe begegnen die Shokz OpenDots 2 mit cleveren technischen Detaillösungen, die letztlich in einer beachtlichen Klangqualität resultieren. So vereinen sich stressfreie Kommunikation, Sporttauglichkeit und Musikgenuss in gelungener Weise zu einem Produkt, das wir klar empfehlen können.

Mit dem Opendots 2 schickt Shokz seinen zweiten Clip-On-Kopfhörer ins Rennen – und will damit Bose und Huawei klanglich überholen. Gelingt das Kunststück?

Shokz’ premium clip-on earbuds transition away from sports to be more of a well-rounded lifestyle earbud, but they still remain stable enough to wear while exercising, feeling comfortable even when you’re running. Their sound and call quality are excellent, with a range of EQ modes to choose from plus customization, and battery life is very good. They’re prone to becoming dislodged if they get knocked, though.

Shokz’ updated clip-on earbuds now offer punchier open-ear sound for the same premium price

The Shokz OpenDots 2 are impressive clip-on headphones that offer great sound quality for an open design, along with a secure fit for both general use and exercise. They’re a more affordable alternative to the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, but the OpenDots 2 are themselves undercut by the also-excellent Shokz OpenDot Air, which launched at the same time.

The OpenDots 2 certainly aren't going to be for everyone. But whether you're looking for less conventional active earbuds for running, or an earbud-adjacent alternative to wear all day, every day, Shokz's latest is a versatile option. The ability to remain aware of your surroundings at all times, plus the IP57 rating for upgraded hardiness, complements the decent sound and supreme comfort factor of these open-ears. Don't expect an active noise-cancelling earbud-rivalling delivery, as that's not the point of this product category, but in the context of the competition Shokz's latest is a 5-star sensation.
