Black Friday 2026 is just around the corner, which makes it the perfect time to work out which open-ear headphones deserve a spot on your wish list. Whether you're pounding the pavements before work, squeezing onto a packed commuter train, or catching up on a podcast while the kettle boils, there's a Shokz pair to suit you: OpenRun Pro 2, OpenFit Air 2 and OpenDots 2.
If you're planning to shop the Black Friday headphones sales, this guide covers what you should know about this year's Shokz headphones sale, how the three models differ, and which one is the best fit for your day-to-day life.
Shokz Black Friday 2026: Dates and Latest Info
Black Friday falls on Friday 27 November 2026, and the Shokz's Black Friday warm-up ran from 12 to 18 November 2026, when we revealed the offers and promotion details. The Black Friday sale runs from 19 to 30 November. Full details of the offers and terms will be published on uk.shokz.com before the sale begins. To stay in the loop, click the Subscribe button on the screen and we’ll send you an email reminder.
In the meantime, you can get ahead of the rush by deciding which model suits you best. Every order from our official store comes with a 30-day return and refund window and a 24-month warranty, so you can buy with confidence when the time comes.
The Three Shokz Models at a Glance
All three models are open-ear, so they sit outside your ear canal rather than inside it. That means you can still hear traffic, station announcements and the person shouting “Cheers, mate!” from across the road while your music plays.
The main difference is fit, so start there: a secure neckband for training, ear-hook earbuds for all-day wear, or compact clip-on earbuds with no hook at all. Once you’ve picked a style, compare battery life, charging and price to see which one suits your routine best.
Which Shokz Model Is Right for You?
OpenRun Pro 2: For Anyone Who Loves to Keep Moving
Do you run in all weathers, from a damp Tuesday-morning loop of the park to a Saturday parkrun? The OpenRun Pro 2 is built for exactly that. Its flexible neckband stays put even when the pace picks up, so you won't be adjusting your headphones every few hundred metres.
DualPitch™ technology combines bone and air conduction for powerful sound with real bass, and the battery lasts up to 12 hours, which comfortably covers a long run plus the recovery walk home. It comes in Standard and Mini sizes, so you can choose the better fit for your head. Because your ears stay open, you can still hear cyclists, buses and the odd over-keen dog.
OpenFit Air 2: Light, Comfortable and Ready for Anything
From the gym to the office to the 17:42 home, the OpenFit Air 2 is the easy all-rounder. At just 7.2 g per earbud, it's lightweight enough to forget you're wearing it, while the flexible ear-hook keeps everything secure.
You get up to 8 hours of listening from a single charge and up to 36 hours with the pocket-sized case. A 10-minute quick charge gives you around 3 hours, which is handy when you realise you're about to head out and forgot to charge them. It's rated IP55 for sweat, splashes and sudden rain (very useful in Britain), and it supports multipoint pairing, so you can stay connected to your phone and laptop at the same time. Dual microphones with AI noise reduction help keep your calls clear in busy places, too.
OpenDots 2: Easy Comfort for Every Day
If you mostly listen at your desk, on the commute or while you potter about at the weekend, the OpenDots 2 could be your match. These clip-on earbuds sit on the outside of your ear without a hook or band, and at only 6.4 g per earbud they feel incredibly light. The flexible JointArc™ design adapts to different ear shapes, and the built-in microphones are ideal for calls, whether you're on a Teams meeting or ringing your mum on the walk to the station.
