Design and wear: unparalleled strengths

It weighs just 6.5 grams per side, making the OpenDots One one of the lightest Open-Ear headphones on the market; the feeling while wearing it is "barely feeling what's on the ear."

At the heart of comfort is JointArc ™, a silicone-covered nickel-titanium alloy structure, highly flexible but durable, tightly clamped without pressing on the ear. The outstanding advantage is that there is no left-right design - you can put it on any side and use it perfectly with sunglasses, hats or other accessories.

Many users insist that they can wear music or meetings online for hours on a continuous basis without feeling annoyed - suitable for people who have to use headphones all day or have been allergic to rubber corks, In-Ear headphones.

Sound quality: Good enough, but still not smashing statistics.

Shokz also dedicated this small built-in audio technology. The 11.8mm dual driver provides 16mm driver-equivalent performance, supports Dolby Audio, and has a Bassphere ™ system with OpenBass 2.0 to complement the low frequency band.

The overall sound provides a warm and balanced tone. There are 4 EQ modes in the Shokz app (Standard, Vocal, Bass, Private):

· Middle neighborhood, pronounced, sharp listening to speech, podcast or online meetings

· Low Neighborhood, Quantitative but Still Lacks Contrast and Definition - Don't Hope High-End In-Ear Headphones Buzz Bass

· DirectPitch™ reduces leaks, making it impossible for people around you to hear what you're listening to.

However, compared to competitors at the same price level (about 6,690 baht), OpenDots One still can't challenge for pure sound quality; competitors like Bose Ultra Open Earbuds or Huawei FreeClip 2 provide better resolution and musical vitality.
