First-of-its-kind open-ear headset with detachable magnetic boom mic, AI noise cancellation, Bluetooth 6.0, and all-day comfort brings professional-grade communication to both work and play.
OpenRock, the trailblazer in open-ear audio innovation, has officially launched the OpenRock Link 20 on Kickstarter. Designed to merge professional-grade communication with lifestyle convenience, the Link 20 is set to redefine the headset category by offering a seamless balance between work and play, in a design as sleek as it is versatile
For decades, traditional communication headsets have required compromise—bulky headbands, ear fatigue, lack of ambient awareness, and fragile builds. The OpenRock Link 20 eliminates these frustrations with a minimalist, ultra-light open-ear design weighing only 9g per earbud, coupled with the world’s first detachable, interchangeable magnetic boom microphone. With its ability to snap instantly to either ear, the mic delivers unparalleled flexibility and long-term comfort. Built with N54 magnets protected by MagShield™ FusionTech and a six-layer noble metal plating, the boom mic is engineered to withstand over 10,000 attach-detach cycles, while automatic audio alerts confirm secure connections.
The Link 20 pushes audio performance further with a 5-mic array and advanced AI Environmental Noise Cancellation. This system suppresses up to 99.9% of background noise—delivering an impressive 58dB reduction—so every word comes through clearly in busy offices, on the move, or outdoors. A compact but powerful 30mW speaker ensures full-bodied sound with volume levels equivalent to larger headsets, despite its small footprint.
Connectivity is equally cutting-edge. Powered by Bluetooth 6.0, the Link 20 offers rock-solid wireless performance with a range of up to 50 feet indoors and nearly 100 feet outdoors. With dual-device pairing, it transitions effortlessly between professional calls, entertainment, and outdoor activities, replacing the need for multiple headsets.
Engineered for endurance, the battery life supports up to 13 hours of continuous music playback or 9 hours of talk time on a single charge. With the charging case, performance extends to 52 hours of music or 36 hours of talk time. A 5-minute quick charge provides an hour of emergency use, ensuring reliable performance throughout the day.
Comfort and wearability have been refined to new levels. The 6.9° ergonomic tilt, liquid silicone materials, and three-point pressure distribution system ensure all-day comfort without ear canal blockage or discomfort, even across long shifts. Meanwhile, the 0.8mm Ti-wire earhooks with adaptive flexibility keep the earbuds secure during active use. Rated IPX7 waterproof and with the magnetic boom mic achieving IP55 dust and water resistance, the Link 20 is designed to perform reliably across both office environments and outdoor adventures.
The experience is enhanced through the exclusive OpenRock App, which allows for deep customization. Users can tailor EQ settings, switch effortlessly between dedicated Entertainment, Sport, and Meeting sound modes, and locate misplaced earbuds with the “Find My Buds” feature—ensuring the Link 20 is as practical as it is powerful.
