Shokz OpenFit Price in Kenya
The Shokz OpenFit costs KSh 17,899 at Avechi, down from a regular price of KSh 19,999, and it is in stock. It comes with our 1-year warranty. You can have it delivered or collect it from our Nairobi shop.
The OpenFit is an open-ear earbud from Shokz. Instead of sealing the ear canal, it places the speaker beside the canal, so you still hear traffic, announcements and people speaking to you. A flexible earhook sits over the top of each ear to hold the bud in place. The original model came out in 2023. It suits runners, cyclists and anyone who works outdoors and wants to stay aware of their surroundings.

Why buy the Shokz OpenFit
- Light for long wear. At 8.3 g per bud, the earhook design keeps the weight off the ear during long runs or rides.
- Awareness outdoors. With the ear canal open, you can hear cars, bikes and people nearby while you listen.
- A full day on one charge. Seven hours per charge and about 28 hours with the case cover most outings without a top-up.
- Fast top-up. Five minutes in the case gives roughly an hour of playback, which helps before a matatu ride or a short workout.
- Protection from sweat and light rain. The IP54 rating covers sweat, dust and splashes, though the buds are not built for submersion.

| Quick charge gives about 1 hour from 5 minutes | Launched in 2023, and Shokz has since released newer open-ear models |
