Q: What is the microphone quality? Im wanting earbuds on airpods microphone level.
A: Quality is good. Sound is crisp and clear.
A: Hi there- Shokz here! The Shokz OpenDots ONE do not use bone conduction technology. They utilize air conduction technology combined with DirectPitch™ and an open-ear design, according to Shokz. This means sound is delivered to your ears through the air, like traditional headphones, rather than through vibrations on the bones of your skull. Please reach out to our Customer Happiness Team if you have any other questions. Thank you!
A: Hi there- Shokz here! To answer a call on Shokz OpenDots ONE, double-tap the JointArc on either earbud. Alternatively, you can also double-pinch the battery compartment on either earbud to answer the call. The User Manual can be found directly on our Shokz site under the Help Center and shows all of the features and functions of the OpenDots ONE. Please reach out to our Customer Happiness Team if you have any other questions :). Thanks!
Q: Does anyone in healthcare use these? Could I use a stethoscope without having to take these out?
A: Hi there- Shokz here! OpenDots ONE are not recommended for use with a traditional stethoscope because their clip-on design means they sit just outside the ear canal, which would interfere with placing the stethoscope's earpieces correctly. Please reach out to our Customer Happiness if you have any other questions. Thank you!

Shokz OpenDots One: A game-changer for open-ear audio The Shokz OpenDots One are truly a standout innovation in the world of open-ear earbuds, especially if you prioritize comfort and situational awareness. Here's what makes them shine: Unrivaled Comfort: These earbuds are remarkably lightweight at just 6.5 grams per earbud, making them feel almost imperceptible even during extended wear. The flexible nickel-titanium plate and soft silicone grip ensure a comfortable and secure fit that adapts to various ear shapes, eliminating pressure and discomfort often associated with traditional earbuds. One reviewer even noted being able to comfortably wear them while sleeping on their side. This makes them ideal for all-day use, whether you're working, commuting, or engaging in light activities. Excellent Audio Quality: The OpenDots One offer surprisingly rich and clear audio, including a decent bass response thanks to Shokz's Bassphere Technology and Dolby Audio support. While not quite matching the sound quality of top-tier noise-isolating earbuds, they stand out among open-ear options, providing a crisp and detailed sound that's perfect for casual listening, audiobooks, and podcasts. Maintain Situational Awareness: The open-ear design allows you to enjoy your audio while remaining fully connected to your environment. This is particularly beneficial for runners, cyclists, or anyone who needs to be aware of traffic, conversations, or other sounds around them. Impressive Battery Life: You'll get up to 10 hours of playtime on a single charge and a remarkable 40 hours with the compact charging case. Even a quick 10-minute charge provides 2 hours of listening time, making them convenient for on-the-go use. Thoughtful Features: The OpenDots One come with a suite of useful features including an IP54 water resistance rating, AI noise-canceling mics for clear calls, multipoint pairing for seamless switching between devices, and customizable EQ and touch controls through the Shokz app. The earbuds are even interchangeable, and feature dynamic ear detection that automatically adjusts audio channels for stereo sound regardless of which earbud is in which ear. In conclusion, the Shokz OpenDots One offer a refreshing take on the open-ear earbud experience. While the sound quality might not satisfy hardcore audiophiles who prioritize noise cancellation, the OpenDots One are an exceptional choice for anyone seeking a comfortable, lightweight, and long-lasting earbud that keeps them connected to both their music and the world around them. If you've been looking for an open-ear option that truly enhances your daily life, the OpenDots One are definitely worth considering.

Excellent sound quality. Very comfortable to wear for long hours. It's very convinient to wear at work and also be aware of surroundings. Love the battery life and quick charge. Seamless connectivity to Android phone. It also connects instantly. You could buy these and save $50-$100 on the similar Bose model.

This is the second pair of these that I've purchased. As a truck driver having a comfortable open-ear headphone with good sound quality is what gets me through the long days on the road. I've used various headphones from Shokz, and these are the lightest and most comfortable pair yet. I will admit it took a few hours to get used to how they sit on the side of the ear, but now I barely notice they're there. I really like the customization of the controls in the app, and personally I prefer to disable the 2 finger pinch controls so I can easily adjust them if needed without disrupting my music or accidentally hanging up when on the phone. The sound quality is also superb. They obviously won't compete with a high-end set of noise-cancelling headphones, but the range of clear highs to rumbling lows is the best from the brand by far.
