SHOKZ OpenDots Air: clip-on open-ear earbuds that leave the ear canal open, weigh 6.3 g each and run up to 9 hours per charge (36 hours with the case). Built for runners, walkers and office workers who need to keep hearing what's around them.
Who the SHOKZ OpenDots Air is for
Runners and walkers: Traffic and footsteps stay audible because nothing seals the ear canal, and the earbuds carry an IP55 water-resistance rating.
Open-plan offices: You can still catch colleagues and announcements, and each earbud has two noise-reducing microphones for calls.
People who dislike in-ear pressure: The round speaker rests against the ear's inner ridge and the battery section sits behind the ear, joined by a flexible nickel-titanium JointArc, so nothing plugs the canal.
Phone-and-laptop users: Multipoint keeps two devices connected through the SHOKZ app, with Google Fast Pair on Android 11+ and Microsoft Swift Pair on Windows 10+.
Skip it if: you need isolation on flights or loud trains, since the open design lets outside noise in, or you want wireless charging, which the OpenDots Air case does not support.

SHOKZ OpenDots Air vs similar options
vs SHOKZ OpenDots ONE: Same clip-on open-ear form, but SHOKZ adds Dolby Audio and Qi wireless charging; choose the ONE for those extras, the Air for its IP55 rating (vs IP54) and lower price.
vs SHOKZ OpenFit 2 T920: Has physical multifunction buttons where the Air uses tap-and-pinch touch controls, and runs up to 11 h per charge (9 h here); pick the Air for a lighter bud, 6.3 g versus 9.4 g.
