As the seasons transition from summer to cooler weather, many Australians are setting ambitious fitness goals such as half marathons, marathons, and Iron Man races. A new pair of headphones can provide the perfect motivation to get active and stay fit. Pioneer of open-ear technology, Shokz, has reduced prices on several of its top models by up to 23 percent as part of Amazon Australia's Big Smile Sale.
Limited-Time Savings on Premium Shokz Models
For a limited period, shoppers can enjoy discounts on a range of Shokz favourites, including the brand's latest release, the OpenDots ONE, along with flagship models like the OpenRun Pro 2 and OpenSwim Pro. This sale presents an excellent opportunity to experience Shokz's premium open-ear listening technology at a more affordable price point.
So, what are the top deals available, and which headphones suit different users? Shokz has significantly slashed prices on multiple earbud models available through Amazon Australia.
Shokz OpenDots ONE: Sleek and Comfortable Design
The Shokz OpenDots ONE earphones, originally priced at $340, are now available for $269 on Amazon Australia. As Shokz's newest offering, these earphones feature a sleek, low-profile design tailored for listeners who prioritise simplicity, all-day comfort, and clear audio while remaining aware of their surroundings.
The launch of OpenDots ONE introduces the brand's first on-trend ear-clip design, providing a light, portable, and comfortable user experience. The pioneering open-ear fit allows users to stay connected to their environment while enjoying music without discomfort.
Every aspect of these earphones has been meticulously considered, with ease and comfort as primary focuses. They are easy to wear, featuring interchangeable left and right earbuds. Weighing just 6.5 grams and utilising Shokz JointArc TM technology, which connects the speakers and battery compartment, they are crafted from a super-thin 0.19 mm titanium alloy to automatically fit any ear shape.
Enclosed with skin-soft silicone, the earbuds enhance friction for a secure fit while offering cushioning. Wireless charging is supported, with one full charge delivering 10 hours of playtime, and the charging case extending this to an impressive 40 hours. The IP54 water resistance rating ensures the OpenDots ONE can handle light contact with water, making them suitable for various weather conditions.
Many users praise these headphones for both workouts and everyday use. One five-star reviewer on Amazon Australia described them as the "absolute best open ear pods available," while another noted, "The best open headphones you can buy for small ears. Very comfortable and surprisingly great sound. Phone calls are great too."
Shokz OpenRun Pro 2: Ideal for Runners
The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 headphones, originally $319, are now discounted to $249 on Amazon Australia. Designed as performance-driven open-ear headphones for athletes, they offer enhanced bass, secure all-day comfort, and crystal-clear calls without compromising environmental awareness.
The OpenRun Pro 2 features a new dual reed and coil innovative design that stabilises the vibration system, producing purer vocal sounds for an unparalleled listening experience that is both clear and powerful. A custom algorithm assigns each sound element to a dedicated driver, creating a balanced, dynamic, and immersive 3D soundscape with concert-like audio quality.
With Shokz's signature open-ear design, the OpenRun Pro 2 keeps users immersed in their workout while staying grounded in their surroundings. Essential sounds like traffic, fellow joggers, or bird calls are not completely blocked out, ensuring safety without overpowering the playlist.
Users appreciate the ergonomic ear hook fit and unibody frame, which provide a secure and comfortable fit that resists slipping. These headphones have garnered over 8,000 glowing reviews on Amazon Australia. One shopper commented, "Top class product," while another shared, "I've been thinking about getting some of these for a long time and always put it off because my earbuds were good enough. I was wrong — these are amazing for running. The audio quality is great and it's so nice to be able to hear everything going on around you."
