Welcome to Prime Day. It’s the end of June which means Amazon is helping us kick off the summer by reducing the prices of almost every product under the sun. From now through the end of the week on Friday, June 26, you can find all sorts of deals. It’s a great time to make some tech upgrades to your home or treat yourself to a new pair of headphones.
A standout option among them is the Shokz OpenDots ONE earbuds. These clip-on earbuds typically sell for $200, but the Prime Day deals have it down to just $140. That 30% discount ends up saving you a solid $60.
Open-ear Listening
Designed with athletes in mind, most of the Shokz’s earbuds follow the same philosophy. The OpenDots ONE earbuds utilize an open-ear design which allow you to stay present in your surroundings without blocking out any external sounds by plugging up your inner ears. This is especially helpful for runners. Us runners regularly find ourselves running on the sides of busy roads, and it would be counterintuitive and highly unsafe to not be able to hear oncoming traffic coming up behind us.
Despite allowing the outside noises to come through, the OpenDots ONE earbuds can still generate some excellent audio thanks to support for Dolby Audio and Bassphere Technology. You can even customize your sound, adjusting the EQ modes using the Shokz app on your phone.
A nice touch for the Shokz OpenDots ONE earbuds is that both buds are identical to each other. This means you can put either in either ear and not worry about having it backwards. The earbuds are able to automatically detect if they are being used as either the left or right bud, and adjust accordingly.
For runners and other athletes, you don’t have to worry about them getting a little rain or sweat on them. The OpenDots ONE earbuds are rated IP54 making them water resistant.
Battery life is reliable. You can expect up to 10 hours of listening time form the earbuds alone. Including what you get with the charging case, you’re looking at up to 4 hours of total playtime. If you find yourself ever having forgotten to charge them before heading out the door, no need to worry. A quick 10-minute charge can bring them back up to two hours total.
The Shokz OpenDots ONE earbuds comes in four different colors. I{n addition to the standard black, you also have a choice of grey, pink, or red. All options are currently marked down $60 thanks to Prime Day so pick out whichever one speaks to you.
