The harder sell has been whether that awareness is worth giving up bass, isolation, or a fit that feels locked in. Shokz OpenDots 2 is built around that problem. The company’s new clip-on earbuds bring bigger audio claims, lighter hardware, stronger battery numbers, and controls designed for the sweaty, awkward moments where touch panels often fail. Why the sound holds up OpenDots 2 uses Shokz Bassphere 2.0 with dual 11.8mm drivers, which Shokz says can…

Monako Glass combines Linux, a waveguide display, camera, speakers, and AI coding-agent connections in a 48-gram frame.
