Shokz OpenComm2 UC Black (2025 Upgrade) – Bone Conduction Headset with Loop120 USB Adapter, DSP Noise-Cancelling Boom Mic, 16H Talk Time

The Shokz OpenComm2 UC Black is the computer-ready version of Shokz’s OpenComm2 bone conduction headset. UC stands for Unified Communications: the box adds a Shokz Loop120 USB wireless adapter, so the headset connects to a PC or Mac without going through the computer’s own Bluetooth. This is the 2025 Upgrade, which Shokz describes as moving to USB-C charging, an upgraded wireless adapter and added software control. The headset gives up to 16 hours of talk time, weighs 35 g, and keeps your ears open to the room.

What UC adds: the Loop120 adapter

The only hardware difference between the Shokz OpenComm2 UC and the standard OpenComm2 is the adapter in the box. The Loop120 plugs into a USB port and handles the wireless link to the headset, with Shokz quoting a range of up to 30 m (98 ft). That matters in offices where laptop Bluetooth is unreliable, locked down by IT, or already busy with a mouse and keyboard.

Shokz sells the Shokz OpenComm2 UC with either a USB-A or a USB-C Loop120 adapter; the retail box states which one is inside. If you only ever take calls from a phone, the adapter adds nothing, and our Shokz OpenComm2 Black page covers the headset on its own. For an office headset with a different, open-ear design, see the Shokz OpenMeet Black.

The boom mic: exactly what Shokz claims

Shokz describes the microphone as a DSP noise-canceling boom mic using cVc technology to filter out ambient noise, and Shokz Australia lists it as a dual noise-canceling boom mic that rotates. Shokz does not publish a noise-reduction percentage for the Shokz OpenComm2 UC, so we do not quote one.

On the Shokz OpenComm2 UC, muting is done from the headset button during a call; the user guide says a single press mutes, with a voice prompt confirming it. The mic sits on an arm close to your mouth, which is the practical reason a boom picks up your voice more clearly than earbud microphones in a busy office.

Zoom Certified, and how it works with other apps

Shokz lists the Shokz OpenComm2 UC 2025 Upgrade as Zoom Certified, which lets the headset buttons control specific Zoom functions. Shokz’s pro site also lists Cisco Webex certification on Windows. For Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and other platforms, Shokz says the headset is compatible with all video conferencing platforms as an audio device; it does not claim Teams certification, so button integration there is not guaranteed.

Bone conduction: open ears for a full working day

On the Shokz OpenComm2 UC, the transducers rest on your cheekbones and pass sound through bone, so nothing sits in or over the ear. You hear a colleague walking up, a doorbell or a phone ringing at your desk without lifting the headset. The frame is titanium with a soft silicone finish, and the whole headset weighs 35 g.

The black finish suits any office, and it is the only colour Shokz lists for the Shokz OpenComm2 UC.

Battery, charging and durability

Shokz rates the Shokz OpenComm2 UC at up to 16 hours of talk time and up to 8 hours of listening time, with standby of up to 14 days per Shokz Australia. A 5-minute charge gives 2 hours of talk time, and a full charge takes 60 minutes. Charging is by USB-C on this 2025 Upgrade; the earlier OpenComm2 UC used a magnetic cable.

The Shokz OpenComm2 UC headset is rated IP55 and the microphone uses a water-resistant acoustic mesh. Bluetooth is version 5.1, MultiPoint pairs two devices at a time, and the box includes a hard shell carrying case.

Sound leakage and music: set expectations

Bone conduction leaks some sound at higher volumes, so a neighbour in a quiet room may hear a caller’s voice faintly. There is no isolation and no ANC; in a loud open-plan office you will hear the room as well as your call, which is the design, not a fault.

The Shokz OpenComm2 UC is tuned for voice. Shokz rates only 8 hours for music against 16 for calls, and bass is thin compared with ordinary headphones, so treat music as a bonus.

Who This Is Not For

Music listeners who want full bass or isolation. Anyone working in a very loud space who needs to shut the room out; bone conduction does the opposite. Teams users who need certified button control: Shokz lists Zoom certification, not Teams.

If your laptop has only USB-C ports, check the adapter type on the box before opening it. And if you only take calls on a phone, the standard OpenComm2 without the adapter makes more sense.
