Shokz Unveils OpenMeet at CES 2025: A Groundbreaking Leap in Professional Headset Comfort, Connection, and Innovation

CES Innovation Awards® 2025 Honoree OpenMeet Earns Recognition for Prioritizing Human-Centered Features

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shokz, the leader in open-ear, bone conduction technology, proudly introduced OpenMeet as the new gold standard headset for professionals who deserve comfort, connection, and exceptional sound quality from a tool they rely on every day. OpenMeet’s debut brings with it a major accolade: a CES Innovation Awards® 2025, which underscores the powerful impact the company expects this product to have on the professional market. This award is a validation of the relentless dedication and pursuit of change over four years from the Shokz team.

“OpenMeet’s recognition is a proud moment for our team—a group that was unwilling to accept how it's always been done,” said Ken Chen, Shokz’s Chairman and CTO. “This honor amplifies the energy and passion that went into creating what we believe will encourage other makers of office headsets to rethink design priorities.”

Breakthrough Technology for a Connected, Comfortable Experience

Packed with Shokz’s most advanced proprietary technologies, OpenMeet addresses the top pain points of traditional headsets—discomfort, isolation, and sound quality—by prioritizing human-centered design. Intended to feel weightless (only 78 grams), OpenMeet features a unique TitaniumFlex frame with a five-point design, delivering a pressure-free fit that accommodates all types of glasses and eliminates ear fatigue. The open-ear design keeps users aware of their surroundings, fostering natural connection in all settings.

Advanced Sound with Unmatched Clarity

OpenMeet combines Shokz’s PremiumPitch 3.0™ and DualPitch™ technologies for an unparalleled audio experience. DualPitch™ technology merges bone and air conduction, offering a rich, immersive sound profile that captures every detail from high frequencies to deep lows. LeakSlayer 3.0™ technology further enhances privacy by minimizing sound leakage, ensuring clear audio without compromising the brand’s signature open-ear freedom.

Engineered for Productivity in Modern Work Environments

With an advanced dual-microphone system powered by Qualcomm’s cVc noise reduction, OpenMeet reduces background noise by up to 98.6%, keeping your voice center stage even in bustling environments. A powerful Qualcomm-driven 11mm x 18mm custom speaker and four power amplifiers ensure immersive audio quality, while a dedicated mute button and LED indicator support a seamless workflow. With the Loop120 adapter, OpenMeet offers plug-and-play ease, seamless switching for up to 8 devices, and compatibility with Windows 8+ and macOS 10.15+.

A Catalyst for a New Standard

Shokz positions OpenMeet as more than just a product—it’s the catalyst for a new standard in professional communication. Traditional headsets, often focusing solely on durability, have left users disconnected from their surroundings and colleagues. OpenMeet, by contrast, exemplifies Shokz’s “Be Open” philosophy, empowering users to stay engaged and connected.

Uncompromising Performance with All-Day Battery Life

Designed for all-day use, OpenMeet features a battery that delivers up to 15 hours of continuous operation, with a 5-minute fast charge providing two hours of talk time. BluetoothⓇ v5.4 technology offers a stable connection with a range of 30 meters, allowing freedom of movement without compromising performance.
