Shokz to Sponsor and Exhibit at “Nanatsuboshi Marathon” on February 21st in Hattori Ryokuchi Park
Shokz, a leading company in open-ear earphones, will sponsor and exhibit at the “Nanatsuboshi Marathon” to be held on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at Hattori Ryokuchi Park in Toyonaka City, Osaka.
The phrase “keep running” embodies more than just physical action; it represents the power to connect thoughts and aspirations to the future. This event originates from the significant purpose of giving form to Nanase Minato’s passion for athletics and her vision for the future, aiming to inherit and spread her spirit through each participant’s run.
Shokz has supported many runners in their daily lives through open-ear earphones, which allow users to hear ambient sounds while running without blocking their ears. The company deeply resonates with the idea that “running is not just an individual challenge, but a force that connects people and drives them forward,” and wholeheartedly supports this event. Shokz hopes that this sentiment will continue to be passed on with every step taken by the participants.

OpenRun Pro 2: Redefining Open-Ear Audio
The OpenRun Pro 2 redefines open-ear audio with significant upgrades from its predecessor, integrating an advanced low-frequency algorithm and an independent driver specifically for bass. This allows for an immersive, concert-like audio experience anytime, anywhere.
Groundbreaking Acoustic Innovation: Dual Driver System
Equipped with Shokz DualPitch, the OpenRun Pro 2 is Shokz’s flagship earphone that redefines the conventions of open-ear audio. This new technology perfectly blends bone conduction speakers, which precisely handle mid and high frequencies, with air conduction speakers that control deep bass, delivering a powerful and clear listening experience.
Listen to Music While Staying Connected to Your Surroundings
Adopting Shokz’s signature open-ear design, OpenRun Pro 2 allows users to immerse themselves in their workout while remaining aware of their surroundings. From traffic to the voices of jogging partners and the chirping of birds, it provides a safe and rich listening experience by letting users hear ambient sounds. The volume range is smartly optimized for clear audio while on the move or outdoors.
OpenFit 2+: Dynamic Sound with Dolby Audio
The OpenFit 2+ features Shokz’s industry-first DualBoost™ Technology. With two independent speakers—an ultra-large low-frequency unit delivering powerful deep bass and an independent high-frequency unit reproducing sparkling highs—OpenFit 2+ achieves vibrant and dynamic sound. Users can enjoy deep bass, exceptionally clear mids and highs, and outstanding detail.
Fusion of Open-Ear Design and Comfortable Fit
The OpenFit 2+ incorporates a new design that further evolves from previous models, combining Shokz Ultra-Soft Silicone™ 2.0 with an integrated nickel-titanium alloy frame. This ensures a flexible fit to the ear’s contours, reducing ear strain during prolonged use and maintaining comfort. It is designed to seamlessly integrate into daily life and provide stable wear during intense activities like running or gym workouts.
Enhanced Sound Leakage Prevention and Immersive Sound
Equipped with Shokz DualBoost™ + OpenBass™ 2.0, the OpenFit 2+ reproduces deep bass and clear mid-high frequencies in a balanced manner, allowing users to dynamically enjoy not only music but also movies and live videos. Furthermore, DirectPitch™ 2.0 significantly improves sound leakage prevention, enabling an immersive listening experience while being considerate of surroundings. The addition of Dolby Audio support allows users to enjoy a “theater-class immersive experience” in their daily lives, which was not possible with previous models.
