The OpenComm2 series now has two type-c upgraded models with open-ear technology. Well-known for their bone conduction and Bluetooth pairing, these headsets have always been efficient and comfortable. Yet these upgrades promise an even better fit, faster charge, and multipoint pairing.
To understand all the different ways, you will benefit from wearing these headsets during conferences or while on the go, read this post. Below, we will reveal 7 different features to the OpenComm2 UC and OpenComm2 models and give you the facts you need to decide to pick these headsets.
Top Features in Type-C OpenComm2 and OpenComm2 UC
As we at Shokz continue to refine the technology that goes into headsets, our OpenComm2 series now has features that make it stand out among all headsets.
In particular, these new type-c headsets have the following features:
● Faster charging: Both headsets now charge faster by using a type-c charger. To charge your OpenComm2 headset, you need only one hour of charging. Yet you can get 2 hours of charges in just 5 minutes, allowing you to jump into conference calls whenever you need to. Meanwhile, a full charge will last 16 hours of talk time and 8 hours of listening time. This is thanks to the high-sensitivity technology, which makes the battery more efficient.
● Increased comfort: The OpenComm2 UC and OpenComm2 are some of the most comfortable headsets. What makes them comfortable to wear all day is their low weight and comfortable frame. The OpenComm2 UC weighs only 35 g while the OpenComm2 weighs 33 g, which you will barely feel even after many hours. This is especially true because these headsets do not enter the ear, which can cause pressure. Instead, these headsets wrap around your head without resting on top of it. Plus, they have a soft silicone exterior.
● Enhanced clarity: These new headsets provide more clear sound capture and delivery than their previous iterations. When you speak into these headsets, the dual noise-cancelling technology in the boom microphone will pick out your voice, balance your vocals, and let the background noise drop away. You can even adjust the microphone's placement to ensure it captures your voice. Likewise, the headset delivers clear sound through 7th-generation bone conduction technology. This feature also equalises vocals so that you can listen without the distraction of distortions.
● Flexible use: Whether you want to use these headsets as you work from home, in an office, or while you drive, they suit every occasion. This is because these headsets have a long wireless range of up to 30 m, allowing you to step out of your office or tend to household chores and continue to listen. In addition, the control buttons on the headsets allow you to adjust the volume, mute or unmute, play audio or pause it, check the battery status, etc. So, you will be free to step away from your phone and computer.
● Improved moisture resistance: These headsets have an IP55 water and dust resistance rating. Due to the ideal rating, these models can resist splashes, moderate sweat, rain, dust, and even spills. We tested these models in controlled laboratories to ensure they met the requirements of these ratings. This is true of both the frame and the microphone's acoustic mesh. Moreover, the headsets come with a hardshell case, which will keep them safe while not in use. Plus, they have a 24-month warranty, and a 30-day return and refund policy.
● Facilitated multipoint pairing: These headsets can pair with different devices through Bluetooth 5.1 technology. By using this updated version of Bluetooth, these headsets will smoothly connect to your devices. At maximum, you can pair with 2 devices – which can be either a mobile or a computer. To connect to a computer, including a Mac, you can use the Loop120 wireless adapter which comes with the headsets. This Bluetooth connection is faster and allows for longer distance connectivity than previous iterations. Then, you will be able to work more efficiently since you will no longer need to manually disconnect from one device before you connect your headset to another device.
● Access to the Shokz App: When you buy these headsets, you can continue to improve them by connecting to the Shokz application for either Windows or Mac. In fact, both these products support the Android application. Through these operating systems, you can conveniently access firmware upgrades. By regularly downloading upgrades, your headsets will continue to remain up to date. This will allow you to retain your headsets longer before you with an even newer and better-performing OpenComm2 series model.
A Comparison of Applications of Type-C OpenComm2 Series
The type-c OpenComm2 series is typically perfect for hybrid work. Whether you need a headset for conference calls or while you are on the go, you can wear them. Yet, the two models have slightly different best uses. To know which Shokz headphones fit you best, take a look at the following comparison.
First, the all-black OpenComm2 UC model excels in the office setting. This headset specialises in PC use. So, it has more complete functions, including the ability to select prompt language, switch equaliser, and pairing page functions. So long as you only need to listen while you remain stationary, you can use these headsets. This is because this model prioritises virtual communication. Meanwhile, it is also suitable for busy offices or while working from home while your family is present due to its noise-cancelling features. Plus, you can use either a computer or mobile with this model.
On the other hand, the OpenComm2 model's features ensure you can comfortably walk or even jog around. The water resistance of this model makes it safe to take with you whether it is drizzling or you are doing extensive exercise. Furthermore, this headset's open-ear design allows you to remain aware of your surroundings. This is especially necessary if you choose to take a call while driving or walking through a moderately dangerous setting such as a warehouse. More specifically, the PremiumPitchTM 2.0 technology ensures the delivery of clear sound. Although this technology makes this model suitable for various environments, it works better with mobiles specifically.
Now you know that the type-c OpenComm2 and OpenComm2 UC models have brand-new features that make them more efficient than their predecessors.
The OpenComm2 UC is especially useful for conference calls because of its sound clarity and 16-hour talk time. Its frame and low weight ensure you can comfortably wear it all the time. In addition, you can pair this model with either a mobile or a computer.
On the other side, the OpenComm2 model is especially suited to walking or driving through different environments – even when it is raining! They have an IP55 rating, which makes them safe to wear while you are sweating, or it is raining. Moreover, it charges quickly, allowing you to drive while on a call for 2 hours on a 5-minute charge. You can also be as far as 30 m away from your device and maintain a smooth Bluetooth connection.
So, when deciding to buy these models at Shokz, we recommend comparing the features and applications of each model first while keeping your requirements in mind, which will help you make the right choice.
