Recognized as the market leader in open-ear, bone conduction technology, at CES 2025, Shokz unveiled the brand’s latest technologies and designs, reinforcing its commitment to thoughtful, open-ear audio solutions. Combining comfort with improved sound quality, the new Shokz OpenMeet headset received a CES Innovation Awards 2025, which underscores the powerful impact the company expects this product to have both on the consumer and professional market. The award is a validation of the relentless dedication and pursuit of change over four years from the Shokz team. According to Ken Chen, Shokz’s Chairman and CTO, “this honor amplifies the energy and passion that went into creating what we believe will encourage other makers of office headsets to rethink design priorities.”
Over the past decade, Shokz pursued bone conduction technology with constantly evolving ergonomic and situationally aware product designs. This relentless pursuit of progress has made Shokz a trusted name in the industry. Last year, Shokz launched its first product that doesn’t rely exclusively on bone conduction with the launch of its first air conduction design, OpenFit.
At CES 2025, Shokz continued to build on this portfolio, showcasing advancements, including a much improved version of OpenFit 2, and the new OpenMeet headset, which combines Shokz’s signature open-ear design, combining air condition and bone conduction with the latest Qualcomm processing technology. This new refined open-ear design is great for extended use, weighing just 78g, and offering improved comfort due to its innovative 5-point design and ultra-flexible titanium plates. Interchangeable temple cushions in 3 sizes ensure an ideal personal fit, providing gentle, targeted support exactly where it’s needed.
An advanced dual-microphone system, powered by Qualcomm’s cVc (Clear Voice Capture) noise reduction, isolates the user’s voice and reduces background noise by 98.6% for clear calls, even in the busiest settings. Optimized EQ and gain control further ensure the user’s voice is heard loud and clear. But the really advanced aspect of the OpenMeet headset design is the DualPitch technology that fuses bone and air conduction for a much improved sound experience. This is combined with Shokz’ PremiumPitch 3.0 technology, developed over 4 years, extending high frequencies beyond 20kHz, improving the mid frequencies, and ensuring deep bass.
This combination of Shokz’s most advanced proprietary technologies, allows the OpenMeet headset to address all top pain points of traditional headsets — discomfort, isolation, and sound quality. The unique TitaniumFlex frame delivers a much better fit that also accommodates all types of glasses and eliminates ear fatigue. Shokz positions OpenMeet as a catalyst for a new standard in professional communication.
Designed for all-day use, OpenMeet features a battery that delivers up to 15 hours of continuous operation, with a 5-minute fast charge providing two hours of talk time. Bluetooth 5.4 technology offers a stable connection with a range of 30 meters, allowing freedom of movement without compromising performance.
The new OpenMeet UC (with Shokz Loop120 USB-A/USB-C Wireless Adapter) is available now for $249.95, or $219.95 without the USB adapter.
