Reviewing Shokz OpenDots 2 and OpenDots Air with everyday outfits. Do white ear-cuff style earphones blend in with your ears?
I tried using the newly released Shokz OpenDots 2 and OpenDots Air with my usual everyday clothes.
When I paired the white ear-cuff style earphones with a brown ribbed cut-and-sew top, I felt like my ears looked just a little bit lighter.
This time, rather than talking about the fine details of sound or functionality, I wrote about
"whether they truly blend in with everyday clothes" during the usual time spent between the shopkeeper and Puku.
[PR] This article was created with product provided by Shokz.
Kankodori Zakka-ten mornings begin with the shopkeeper choosing their outfit for the day.
Today, I wore a brown square ribbed cut-and-sew top.
It's not as intense as black, and not as vague as beige. It's a color that is calm, yet tightens up the look around the face just a little bit.
I drank something warm at the storefront, tied my hair back lightly, and tried pairing it with pearl earrings.
I thought this was enough, but when I looked in the mirror, I wanted to add just a little bit of white to my ears.
Not a large accessory, but one small white item.
What I picked up on such a morning was the Shokz OpenDots 2.
The small pearl-white shape looked just right with my brown outfit.
Puku seemed more interested in the cup in the shopkeeper's hand than in my ears. Even though he knows it's not his, he seems to want to check it out anyway.
Today's outfit notes
Today, I'm wearing a brown square-ribbed cut-and-sew top.
Since the neckline looks clean, it was a day I wanted to keep my ears looking a bit understated.
Besides, I'm in the mood to listen to music today no matter what.
Some nostalgic pop songs from my student days.
What I paired with that morning was the white OpenDots 2, which looks like an ear cuff.
Rather than inserting them into the ear, it's a shape that gently clips onto the ear.
At about 6.4g per ear, it feels like it's resting lightly on the ear.
It was also reassuring that it fits more securely than I expected, despite being soft.
The look doesn't feel heavy, and it blends naturally with the brown cut-and-sew top.
Ear look for a day with a brown cut-and-sew top
A brown cut-and-sew top has a sense of calmness all on its own.
However, depending on how you style it, there are days when it can look a bit too plain.
Pearl earrings alone would be enough, but
on days I wear brown clothes, I want to add a little white to my ears.
It's not enough to add large earrings.
If I add a necklace, it looks a bit too formal.
On days like that, I feel like a small shape like an ear cuff is just right.
Rather than trying too hard to dress up, it feels more like, 'This is how put-together I am today.'
I thought this understated quality suits an adult's everyday attire.
The sound is also more solid than I expected

They look light, but the sound is also more solid than I expected.
The OpenDots 2 puts effort into bass and volume, and it is also said to support Dolby Audio.
Reading the description alone makes it sound a bit complicated. But the shop owner's impression is a little simpler.
'Oh, the sound is pleasant.'
Even though they are open-ear and don't block your ears, the sound doesn't become too thin.
Sound to listen to while doing something on a casual day. This level of comfort feels just right.
Points of concern
There are also some points of concern.
On days when you want to dive deep into just the sound, or in crowded places,
a type that covers your ears might be more relaxing.
Also, since it has a shape that lightly clips onto the ear, personal preference may vary regarding the fit.
It is not so light that it feels like you are wearing absolutely nothing,
and you do have a sense of it being on your ear.
However, I accepted that presence as something
closer to an accessory.
Because they are small, return them to the case after taking them off.
Making that a habit will give you peace of mind.
How to style them
Since the neckline is cleanly open,
keeping what you pair it with a bit understated
seems just right for everyday wear.
On days you want to dress up, pair them with a jacket or slim pants.
On days you want a softer look, pair them with a cardigan or a loose skirt.
Even with the same brown, depending on what you pair it with,
it can look a bit more formal,
or it can look more relaxed.
Today, I gently added the pearl-white OpenDots 2 to my pearl earrings,
brightening up just the area around my ears a little.
Brown clothing is not flashy.
But because of that, the small white accents stand out softly.
Even without large decorations, just having a little light near my ears
made me look a little lighter in the mirror.
For days when you want a change of pace, try the OpenDots Air too
On another day, I wanted a little change of pace, so I tried wearing the OpenDots Air as well.
These are also ear-cuff style earphones from Shokz.
The pearl white OpenDots 2 feels like it adds a small touch of brightness to my ears on days when I wear a brown cut-and-sew top.
The purple OpenDots Air feels like it adds a bit of playfulness to my ears.
Honestly, I struggle to choose between them.

For days when you want to rely on both sound comfort and ease of styling, go with OpenDots 2.
For days when you want to change your mood with color, go with OpenDots Air.
It's nice to be able to switch them up based on your mood for the day like that.
When choosing clothes, I used to only think about tops and bottoms.
And now, perhaps not just earrings and necklaces, but even
earphones can become part of the outfit.
When the shopkeeper put the small case into her bag,
Puku twitched his ears on the chair.
He looked as if he had heard something too.
Turning music into an accessory.
I thought the Shokz OpenDots 2 and OpenDots Air were earphones that make your ears look a little more fun on casual days.
These are ear-cuff style open-ear earphones that you can use without blocking your ears.
They were small accessories that added beautiful sound and a touch of color to your ears.

What I felt after using Shokz
Shokz is a pioneer in open-ear earphones.
Enjoying sound without blocking your ears, while still being aware of surrounding sounds and the presence of others.
This is the kind of brand that has delivered such earphones.
What I felt when I actually wore them was that Shokz earphones are easy to see as a small adornment for the ears.
Not as sweet as earrings, and not as heavy as headphones.
They blend in naturally with a white shirt or a light outer layer.

I thought these were earphones that would gently suit such a morning.
