With the popularity of national fitness, the world's leading sports headphone brand SHOKZ has entered everyone's life, and a series of professional sports headphones such as OpenRun, OpenRun Pro and OpenSwim have accompanied people to ignite their enthusiasm for sports and begin to challenge themselves again and again. However, Shokin is obviously not satisfied with its leading position in the field of sports headphones, tomorrow, April 11th, the first "out of the circle" blockbuster new product of the shokz Shokz family - openfit series will officially meet with the majority of users, especially according to the open source platform information, summarized some of the dry content of the new openfit series, as an unofficial spoiler, for readers.
Breaking through the boundaries of open listening value and changing the rules of the game
"Open listening" is the core value of Shokin sports headphones, which first brings better wearing comfort. OpenRun Pro uses a bone conduction earphone structure with titanium alloy rear hanging to fix the earphone, which is highly recognizable on the sports field. However, the OpenFit series has obviously bid farewell to this design, and for the first time in the Shokin headphone product line, the split hanging ear and rechargeable earphone storage box design are adopted, which is ......Isn't it a TWS headset?
Judging from the current official announcement of Shokin, OpenFit has indeed completely changed the way of wearing, but it still emphasizes its leading wearing comfort. Of course, with the technical strength of Shokin, is it difficult to create an ergonomic and comfortable headphone? It is known that OpenFit has upgraded the silicone material wrapped in the earphones to ensure wearing comfort. Due to the use of new ear mounts, it is believed that the OpenFit series will not be like traditional in-ear TWS earphones, which are easy to loosen and fall off during walking and sports. In fact, I once found a single TWS earphone dropped by others in the parking lot twice in half a year, and I have a deep understanding of the pain points of poor wearing comfort and average stability of traditional TWS earphones.
Directional sound field Acoustic technology innovation is still the biggest attraction
Liberating the ear holes for a safer and more comfortable listening experience is a major selling point that is often mentioned when introducing professional sports headphones such as OpenRun Pro, which is also one of the core values of "Open Listening". However, this kind of listening that liberates the ear hole is based on bone conduction technology, and how does OpenFit, a non-bone conduction headphone, solve the contradiction between the sound quality and safety of TWS headphones? Not surprisingly, without milestone technological innovation and technological breakthroughs, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory results. Therefore, I firmly believe that OpenFit will use at least one of Shokin's original acoustic "black technologies", and may even be a patent-level technology.
According to the public information at hand, OpenFit uses a directional sound transmission technology, which can control the precise propagation of sound waves to the designated area, with high directivity, small sound diffusion angle, more stable directional propagation and other technical characteristics and non-leakage characteristics, to achieve sound area division. In this way, a headphone that still needs sound waves to transmit sound through the eardrum, but can achieve a non-contact listening experience comparable to bone conduction headphones, which is more friendly to long-term wear, and can safely exercise, drive vehicles, and ......communicate with others while listening**
The answer is soon to be revealed, see you tomorrow in Openfit
According to the analysis and understanding, OpenFit is very likely to become a "dessert model" that not only retains the advantages of TWS earphones that are lightweight and portable, with excellent sound quality, but also realizes the three values of sports headphones: stability, comfort and safety, which is destined to be liked by more people. The pre-heating poster currently disclosed by Shokin official can also confirm the speculation that there are no professional athletes among the models, only white-collar workers, OL, small fresh, and workplace elites, ......OpenFit's target user group is about to come out.
In the usage scenario closer to the use of fashionable lifestyle headphone products, it provides a listening experience comparable to that of professional sports headphones.
If the guess is correct, Shokin is very likely to open up a new subdivision track in the headphone industry, which is due to hard core power.
At 2:30 p.m. on April 11th, Shokin will broadcast the new product launch conference live on the official WeChat** account & official Douyin account, at that time, everything will fall into place, so stay tuned.
