SHOKZ New 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

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like to see the Shokz support LDAC, Hi-Res Audio, Dolby Atmos, and at minimum a more detailed EQ setup (5-band feels outdated, like a Sony Walkman from the 90's) - but the Shoks still sent those Arc 3's to the junk drawer by getting the basics absolutely PERFECT - fit, controls, sound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 are amazing game changing ear buds.I do not use them for exercise or sports. I use these for business, they can be worn all day without discomfort, battery life is great, you can wear one or both.It has multipoint connection allowing me to stream music from my personal android phone but also get my work phone iphone phone calls without having to do anything other than answer the call. It switchs seamlessly. The ability to hear whats going on around me but still have some light tunes or an audible book playing is what i was looking for.I hate in ear buds, maybe its my anatomy but they never fit well, sound would be distorted if my jaw was moving, and i found them uncomfortable for long periods of time.These are awesome, you sacrifice some sound quality but gain so much more

I’ve tried different headsets before, but they all caused ear pain or pressure. The Shokz OpenFit 2 is completely different—light, soft, and so comfortable that I can wear it all day without feeling anything. The open-ear design lets me hear my surroundings while I listen to English podcasts, take calls, or enjoy music.The sound is clear and natural, especially for voices, which is perfect for language learning. The battery lasts a long time, and it’s easy to charge with USB-C. It also stays secure while I’m walking or doing daily tasks.I’m so happy I finally found the right hands-free headset. Highly recommend for anyone who wants comfort, quality, and safety in one.

These open ear headphones are really differentiated. They’re light on the ears, provide clear and high quality sound, all while still allowing you to hear your surroundings. The ear pieces themselves feel very high-quality and premium. They also fit really well. The charging case, however feels a bit cheap in quality, but does work very well. The multi-connect function is really handy and has worked while for all my different devices (iPhone, Nintendo Switch, etc.).I was a bit skeptical of if I would like these as I usually prefer noise cancellation, but the fantastic comforting and quality sound really won me over!
