Lightweight, comfortable clip-on buds with great sound quality
The Shokz OpenDots 2 are impressive clip-on headphones that offer great sound quality for an open design, along with a secure fit for both general use and exercise. They’re a more affordable alternative to the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, but the OpenDots 2 are themselves undercut by the also-excellent Shokz OpenDot Air, which launched at the same time.
