SHOKZNew OpenFit 2 Open-Ear Headphones, True Wireless Bluetooth Earphones with Microphone, Earhook Earbuds with 48 Hours of Playtime, Fast Charging, IP55 Water-Resistant, with Carrying Bag, BlackCarbonfree Certified

Very comfortable (even when side-sleeping). I find the sound very good. Battery life exceptional. Bluetooth range is also quite good. Controls are simple and I really like the physical button. I have yet to see how the touch areas can be enabled or used yet. These are my first 'open-ear' headphones and they have exceeded all my expectations.

They’re great so far! Very good call quality and BT connectivity. Great charging speed and battery life. Good dynamic sound quality and the EQ controls in the app are a bonus. They’re comfortable to wear even with glasses on, haven’t had one fall out yet! If you’re tired of loosing earbuds or you work with your hands, these are a solid choice. I definitely feel like I got my moneys worth and then some. The app is compatible with my iPhone, unlike some of the other premium options.

I tried and returned all of the top brands and kept these for a few reasons:1. Comfort: they are so comfortable I forget I’m wearing them sometimes.2. Sound: they sound better than the others and get louder than the others for music and phone calls (which sound great btw)3. Sunglasses: they fit perfectly while wearing sunglasses!!!! The top piece that cups the ear is so thin I can take them on and off while wearing glasses with ease.4. Weight: they are super lightweight and well built5. App: the application allows you to fully customize the sound and quickly change it for different situations6. Battery: I use these for 5-10 hours a day at work and have yet to recharge the case. The earpieces themselves seem to last for at least a day with heavy use7. Durability: they are solid and have been thrown around a bit while I’m busy working and still look and perform like newOverall, if you’re looking for open ear headphones that allow you to hear everything around you as is you were not wearing anything look no further. 100% recommended.

I've been down the 'Open Ear Design' rabbit hole for a while now, and there's two things you notice right away - since your ear canals are (hopefully) wide open...The sound is like a Bluetooth speaker invisibly floating in space that only you can hear.Pretty cool.Oftentimes, though, that magic Bluetooth speaker seems kinda gutless.Not so cool.Because of this limitation, I have tried to spend my way into something with genuine punch...And this one smokes them ALL. Regardless of price.I finally have the kind of bass response I can live with in a form factor I can reasonably forget about all day. They're on right now because taking them off makes no sense. The damn battery lasts 11 HOURS. PER BUD. No obstruction at all - I can use a Qtip with them on. It's fantastic. And the lows are REAL - usually open ear designs deliver low frequency sound the way sparkling water delivers the taste of fruit - barely enough to notice. Not these. Real fruit juice this time.Could they use a few extra features? Kinda yeah, especially for this price point. I also have a pair of Cleer's Arc 3 Sport open buds (every feature you can imagine but roughly 100 bucks more) - and I would really like to see the Shokz support LDAC, Hi-Res Audio, Dolby Atmos, and at minimum a more detailed EQ setup (5-band feels outdated, like a Sony Walkman from the 90's) - but the Shoks still sent those Arc 3's to the junk drawer by getting the basics absolutely PERFECT - fit, controls, sound quality are all in a class by themselves. If they ever roll out a Snapdragon Sound version of these with all the audio features and a case with a display, It's game over for the competition in the entire category.Multipoint works fine. It's a feature you didn't know you needed until you have it. I come home with these on (paired to phone), leave them on, then turn on the living room TV (also paired) and watch something too grownup for my little kids because I'm the only one hearing it. Dad Mode.Fit is impressive - they are comfortable, low profile, extraordinary secure (I can't imagine an activity outside of Jiu-jitsu or boxing that would dislodge them) and play nicely with both glasses and hats.Sound quality is excellent, and boy am I a snob about that. Actually, I would dive right into the custom EQ and draw a bass-biased Harman curve and tinker with it a little - then it really gets a chance to deliver. This little device uses a dual driver (essentially a speaker and subwoofer in miniature) setup so there's a lot more headroom before distortion creeps in - the arch enemy of open ear designs.In summary, yes these are $180 earbuds... and they are worth every dime, in fact punching above their weight at that cost. I recommend you believe the hype and spend the money. You won't regret it.

These SHOKZ OpenFit 2 earbuds strike a great balance between comfort, sound quality, and practicality—especially if you need to stay aware of your surroundings.👂 Truly Comfortable for Long WearThanks to the open-ear design, I can wear these for hours without any pressure on my ear canals. The flexible ear hooks rest gently and stay secure—even during workouts. Page 2 highlights their ergonomic build and featherweight design (just 8.7g per earbud), and I can confirm: they’re barely noticeable once on.🔊 Clear Sound, But Not for Bass LoversThe OpenBass™ Air tech delivers a surprisingly full soundstage considering these don’t go in your ears. Vocals and podcasts sound crisp, and even calls come through clearly. That said, if you're after punchy, booming bass, these won’t give you that. As shown on page 5, they're tuned more for clarity and balance than depth.🔋 Excellent Battery Life and Fast ChargingI’ve been getting around 7–8 hours on a single charge, with a total of up to 28 hours when you include the case. The fast charge feature (1 hour playback from just 5 mins) came in handy more than once (page 4).🧠 Perfect for Multi-tasking and Outdoor UseBecause your ears stay open, I feel safe running outside or listening while working at home. The AI noise-canceling mics also help a lot during Zoom calls.✅ Pros:Incredibly comfortable open-ear fitClear and natural sound with stable connectionGreat for calls and multitaskingLong battery life + quick charge❌ Cons:Bass is limited (not for EDM fans)Some sound leakage in quiet environmentsOverall:If you're looking for all-day comfort, solid sound, and situational awareness, these are a great investment. Just know that bass heads may want to look elsewhere. Great for active lifestyles, work-from-home, and outdoor use.
