10 min

If you’ve just purchased the all-new OpenFit 2+ and want to get the most out of your earbuds, you’re in the right place. Building on its predecessor, the OpenFit 2+ introduces two major upgrades: Dolby Audio and wireless charging. This guide covers all the essential features—from controls and pairing to charging and sound customization—so you can enjoy the full experience.


How to wear

Designed with Ultra-Soft Silicone™ 2.0, the OpenFit 2+ offers a comfortable and secure fit that’s easy to use.

To wear your earbuds:

Take them out of the charging case

Position the hook so it aligns with the top of your ear

Gently rotate the earbud backward so the hook rests behind your ear

Ensure the speaker sits comfortably just inside your ear

Once in place, you’re ready to enjoy your audio.

 

Earbud Controls

The OpenFit 2+ includes two control areas:

A Touch Area on the flat surface near the Shokz logo

A Physical Button on the side of each earbud

The physical buttons let you manage music, calls, and volume with ease.

 

Music Control

Single press: Play or pause music

Double press: Skip to the next track
