The Shokz OpenFit Pro, priced at Dh949, sets out to close that gap by introducing adaptive noise reduction to an open-ear design without shutting out environmental awareness altogether. Noise reduction, open-ear styleAt the centre of the design is Shokz’s Open-Ear Noise Reduction system. Notably, the OpenFit Pro is among the first open-ear earbuds to offer Dolby Atmos optimisation, paired with head tracking to keep the soundstage anchored around the listener during compatible content. With noise reduction switched on, the earbuds run for up to six hours, extending to 24 hours with the charging case. Turning noise reduction off pushes single-charge use to 12 hours and total use to 50 hours with the case.
