Shokz
韶音
Shokz is a Chinese audio-hardware company with roughly two decades of experience in open-ear headphones, best known for its bone-conduction and air-conduction sport earbuds. Its latest release, the OpenFit 2 AI, launched in mid-August 2026, layers AI features onto its established acoustic stack—Shokz DualBoost, OpenBass 2.0, and DirectPitch 2.0—while keeping the signature open-ear, marathon-friendly fit with a dolphin-arc design and embedded titanium wire . Beyond its own product line, Shokz has been active as a corporate investor in recent years: it backed RayGF (Luminous Sail Tech), a visual-perception and AI-OS earbud startup, across multiple rounds alongside Lenovo, XPeng, Goertek, and CATL-linked capital , and it joined Mindverse's $50 million Series A in mid-2026 as a follow-on investor . Elsewhere's corpus does not cover Shokz's founding history or earlier funding in depth.
