Shokz OpenFit 2+ open-ear earbuds drop to $99.95 in early Amazon Black Friday deal

Amazon is selling the Shokz OpenFit 2+ open-ear earbuds at a lower price as part of an early Black Friday sale. According to How-To Geek, the discount is half off, or $100 less than the usual price, and it is the lowest price the site has recorded for these earbuds. TechBargains lists the same model at $99.95. Both reports were published on 13 November 2026.

Open-ear earbuds do not sit inside the ear canal. They rest just outside it, so the wearer can hear traffic, people and office sounds while listening to music or podcasts. The OpenFit 2+ is a wireless pair with a wireless charging case and support for Dolby Audio. Shokz says the sound comes from a 17.3 mm low-frequency driver and a separate tweeter for the high notes. The maker lists the weight as 9.4 g and uses redesigned nickel-titanium ear hooks to hold the earbuds in place.

Battery life is one of the main specifications the sources agree on. The earbuds play for up to 11 hours on a single charge, and up to 48 hours when the charging case is used. TechBargains says a 10-minute quick charge gives about 2 hours of playback. The sources do not agree on the water-resistance rating. TechBargains gives IP55, and How-To Geek gives IP55 in one place and IP53 in another. Anyone who needs a specific rating for sweat or rain should check the product page before buying.

The controls combine physical multifunction buttons with the Shokz app. In the app, the owner can change what each button does and adjust the equaliser settings. The earbuds support MultiPoint pairing, which connects two devices at once, such as a phone and a laptop, so the user can switch between them. According to the product listing, four AI-enhanced microphones reduce background noise on calls. This is the maker's claim, and none of the sources tested it.

The open design also has a clear trade-off. Because nothing seals the ear, outside noise mixes with the music. A busy street or a noisy office will compete with what is playing. How-To Geek says this makes the earbuds a poor choice for anyone who has trouble concentrating when there is a lot of background sound, and this is true for open-ear models in general. The same outlet says the earbuds suit runners who need to hear traffic, cyclists, remote workers who need to hear a meeting alert, and people who want to stay aware of their surroundings while they work out.

The two sources have different focuses. How-To Geek writes as a buying guide. It explains who the design suits, what the downside is, and why the discount stands out. TechBargains is a product listing. It repeats the maker's features, such as the comfort fit, the app controls and the sustainability badges that come with the product. Readers who want the practical side should start with the buying guide. Readers who want the full list of features will find them in the listing.

Several details are still unclear. None of the sources gives an end date for the early Black Friday sale, and none says how many units are in stock. The reports also do not say whether the discount applies in every country or on every colour. Readers who want the offer should check the current price on the retailer's page before buying, because early deals can change or end without notice.
