Reimagined Open-Ear Audio Arrives as Shokz Launches Its Flagship Earbuds with Noise Reduction

KUALA LUMPUR, 13 May 2026 – Shokz, a pioneer in open-ear audio, unveils its latest flagship earbuds, the OpenFit Pro. This breakthrough model introduces a synchronised dual-diaphragm driver alongside built-in noise reduction.

The result is enhanced sound performance with the flexibility to switch seamlessly between immersive and open-ear listening, adapting effortlessly to any environment.

The launch brought together a dynamic mix of tech enthusiasts, influencers, media representatives, and the Shokz community, all eager to experience the latest innovation in open-ear audio. Guests were immersed in an interactive showcase of the Shokz OpenFit Pro, where cutting-edge sound technology met everyday lifestyle needs. 

Since 2011, Shokz has delivered premium audio through its signature open-ear design, combining comfort, safety, and situational awareness to keep users connected to their surroundings. Built for everyday performance, its innovations are powered by Shokz OpenSound, a core system that combines advanced sound architecture, intelligent audio algorithms, and sound leakage control to enhance the open-ear experience.

“Malaysia is an important market for Shokz as more consumers embrace flexible, on-the-go lifestyles that demand both performance and awareness in their daily audio experience,” said Lyndon Chen, Shokz APAC Sales Manager.

“With the OpenFit Pro, we are proud to bring our latest innovation to Malaysia, combining advanced open-ear technology, richer sound, and all-day comfort to support how people here move, work, and live.”

During the launch, Shokz also hosted a panel session, featuring Tech Reviewer and Moderator Adam Lobo, Fitness and Health Expert Dr. Say Shazril, Entrepreneur and Content Creator Timothy Tiah and Hunny Madu, Radio Host, TV Personality and Content Creator.

The discussion explored how open-ear listening is shaping modern lifestyles, enabling users to stay aware, connected, and productive across work, fitness, and daily life, while reflecting the growing demand for more balanced, real-world audio experiences.

Product Features

Superior Sound with Rich Details

Powered by Shokz SuperBoost™, the OpenFit Pro delivers clear, dynamic, and distortion-free audio. Its synchronised dual-diaphragm design produces smooth highs, deep bass, and rich detail, supported by high-quality materials for consistent performance.

Enhanced by Dolby Atmos and head tracking, it creates a more immersive listening experience. Users can further customize their audio preferences through preset and adjustable EQ modes in the Shokz App, offering greater control over their sound.

A Balance of Awareness and Focus

Achieving noise reduction in open-ear headphones can be challenging. With the OpenFit Pro, Shokz introduces its first open-ear noise reduction feature, combining its signature open design with advanced noise control for greater flexibility.

Equipped with a triple-microphone system and ear-adaptive algorithm, it accurately detects both external and in-ear noise, delivering real-time, optimised noise reduction. Advanced acoustic modelling also ensures consistent performance across different ear shapes and fits.

Users can easily switch between modes to suit different environments from offices and cafés to outdoor or cycling settings, all while maintaining awareness when needed. Noise reduction levels can also be adjusted via the Shokz App for a more personalised listening experience.

Designed for Greater Convenience

The OpenFit Pro features a seamless unibody design with a raised microphone and Noise Reduction Ring for improved call clarity. Built with ultra-soft silicone and flexible nickel-titanium ear hooks, it provides a secure, skin-friendly fit that adapts comfortably to different ear shapes.

Optional support accessories are also available for added stability, especially for users with smaller ears.

With up to 12 hours of listening time (and up to 50 hours with the charging case), it is built for all-day use. A quick 10-minute charge delivers up to 4 hours of playback, while wireless charging adds extra convenience.

Designed for ease of use, it includes waterproof physical buttons, wear detection, multipoint pairing, an IP55 rating, and Bluetooth 6.1, ensuring reliable performance throughout the day.

Available in black and white, the OpenFit Pro will be priced at RM1,199

Other Shokz OpenFit Pro product specifications:

Designed with an open-ear form factor for situational awareness, the OpenFit Pro combines comfort, performance, and advanced audio technology in a lightweight 12.3g per earbud design. It features open-ear noise reduction, flexible titanium alloy earhooks, and is optimised for Dolby Atmos with head-tracking for a more immersive listening experience.

Other features include a triple-mic array with AI voice recognition for clearer calls, and support for A2DP, AVRCP, and HFP profiles. It also offers wireless charging and a 270-day standby time. The device is also backed by a 2-year warranty for added peace of mind.
