The Shokz OpenMeet is an office headset that leaves your ears open. Instead of cups or ear tips, it combines Shokz’ bone conduction with an air-conduction driver, a system Shokz calls DualPitch, and adds a dual-microphone array that Shokz measured at 98.6% background noise reduction on calls. It weighs 78 g, runs up to 15 hours of listening or 14 hours of talk on a charge, and connects over Bluetooth 5.4 to two devices at once. You can hear a colleague next to you and a caller in your ear at the same time.

How the Shokz OpenMeet handles calls
Most office headsets rely on a boom microphone in front of your mouth. The Shokz OpenMeet uses a dual-microphone system with noise-reduction processing instead. Shokz states a 98.6% background noise reduction, measured in an intersection scenario with wideband calls, under normal wearing conditions, with noise at the head of 65 to 72 dB(A) and an average signal-to-noise improvement of 36.8 dB.
That test is a street junction, not a quiet room, which makes it a useful reference for open-plan offices, co-working spaces and home offices near a busy road. Your own result will depend on the room and on how you wear the headset.
DualPitch: bone plus air conduction
DualPitch pairs Shokz’ 10th-generation bone conduction with an air-conduction driver. Bone conduction carries voices clearly through the cheekbones, and the air driver adds fuller sound, so music between meetings is less thin than on a bone-conduction-only headset. Because nothing sits inside or over the ear canal, there is no pressure build-up after hours of calls.
Battery life and charging
Shokz gives two figures for the Shokz OpenMeet. Talk time is up to 14 hours, measured at 50% volume with an equal ratio of talking and listening. Listening time is up to 15 hours at 60% volume with the standard EQ. With the status LED on, Shokz rates about 11 hours. A full charge takes about 1.5 hours over USB-C, and a 5-minute quick charge gives 2 hours of talk time.
For most people that is two full working days of calls before charging.
Connections, versions and the Loop120 adapter
The Shokz OpenMeet uses Bluetooth 5.4 with a range of up to 30 m, and multipoint pairing is on by default, so a laptop and a phone can both stay connected. Shokz describes the UC version as optimised for Zoom and Cisco Webex.
Shokz sells three versions: the standard OpenMeet for Bluetooth only, and OpenMeet UC with the Loop120 wireless adapter in either USB-A or USB-C. The Loop120 adapter is included only with the UC versions. If you need a plug-and-play dongle for a desktop PC without Bluetooth, confirm the version with us before ordering.
Comfort for a full working day
At 78 g (±1 g), the Shokz OpenMeet is light, and it comes with two pairs of cushions. Keeping the ears open matters more than it sounds: you can answer someone at your desk without taking the headset off, and your ears do not get warm during long calls, which is a real difference in a UAE summer.
Why the Black colourway
Black is the Shokz OpenMeet’s only colour, and it suits the job: a plain dark band that looks professional on a webcam and does not show wear from being dropped into a laptop bag every day.
Who This Is Not For
The Shokz OpenMeet does not block noise for you: open-ear design means you still hear the office around you, so it is not a focus tool for a loud room. Shokz does not list a water or sweat resistance rating, so it is not for workouts; Shokz’ sport models suit that better. If your computer has no Bluetooth, the standard version will not work without an adapter. And people who want a boom microphone for call centres may prefer a traditional headset.
