Shokz may have made its name with bone-conduction headsets<\/a>, but the company has also built open-style earbuds<\/a> in recent years. At CES 2026, the company is debuting its most recent model, the OpenFit Pro<\/a>, which combines effective noise reduction with Dolby Atmos support in a premium set of wireless buds. As the name suggests, these sit outside of your ears, secured by an over-the-ear hook, so that you can stay in tune with your surroundings at all times.<\/p>\n

To me, the main appeal of the OpenFit Pro is the new Noise Reduction Mode that acts as a bit of active noise cancellation (ANC) for the open earbuds. The feature is adjustable, allowing you to slide between Reduced, Default and Enhanced levels of said reduction. I\u2019m happy to report the tool does make a difference, even at its lowest setting, by assisting with background noise like raucous HVAC units. Shokz says the OpenFit Pro\u2019s noise reduction is best suited for moderately noisy environments \u2014 like cafes, gyms and offices. And when you don\u2019t need it, you can switch back to Open Mode for a fully unfiltered line to reality.<\/p>\n
