Shokz Launches OpenFit Air 2 And OpenRun Air 2 On September 16
The two launches refresh both sides of Shokz's open-ear lineup at the same price and put the hardware claims (weight, driver, battery, ingress rating) forward, which is where the brand competes rather than on feature count.

Shokz Japan released two open-ear models on September 16, 2026. The OpenFit Air 2 ear-hook earbuds are 17.2 percent lighter than the previous model at 7.2 grams per bud, with a Bassphere driver, 36 hours of playback with the case, IP55 dust and water resistance, and Bluetooth 6.1. The bone-conduction OpenRun Air 2 is over 9 percent smaller than the OpenRun at 26.4 grams, with PremiumPitch 3.0, 10 hours of playback, and IP67. Both cost 19,880 yen tax included.
Both models ship in black and ice blue; the OpenFit Air 2 adds white, and the OpenRun Air 2 comes in standard and Mini sizes, with Mini in black only. Sales run through the Shokz online store, Shokz official stores on Amazon, Rakuten Ichiba and Yahoo! Shopping, and major electronics retailers. The OpenFit Air 2 uses a 0.75mm nickel-titanium alloy frame and a redesigned ear hook, and its Bassphere driver plus OpenBass 2.0 algorithm delivers output comparable to a custom 16mm driver, with four preset EQ modes and two custom EQ modes. The OpenRun Air 2 uses an all-metal dual-coil, dual-lead bone-conduction structure.
