Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently tried a pair of OpenFit earbuds and found their sound quality to be great. I particularly liked the "stationary awareness" feature, which is useful when I'm at the library where it's already quiet. Unlike AirPods, which have a "transparency" mode that can be annoying at times. However, I had to return the OpenFit earbuds because they didn't fit my ears properly. I have to keep readjusting them, which is worse than with the AirPods. It seems like the only drawback of the OpenFit is its fit. I wish they came in different sizes. I gave them three stars for this reason and have a recommendation. Instead of different sizes, they could try installing a flex wire inside the earbuds for more customizability.

Just ok not worth the price. Sound good so lite, easy to lose it.

I liked these in the beginning however people I worked with informed me that they can hear, very clearly, the music that I play. Even with the volume at a low level the sound is sent in all direction and not jsut into my hear. Recently traveled on a plan and it was nearly impossible to near my movie since so much sound is lost to outside my ear. I would say, from all the Bluetooth headphones I have had, these are the easiest to pair.

The Shokz OpenFit Open-Ear earbuds are a decent pair overall, especially for the price I got them at. The sound quality is okay for open-ear earbuds, and they are comfortable for casual daily use. However, this older version does not stay on my ears as securely as I would like, so the fit could definitely be better. If you can get them at a very good price, they are still worth considering.

First, these are crazy comfortable. I didnt realize i had them on. They sound ok, calls are great. The first issue is my ears must be bigger than normal as they dont sit in my ear canal, they sit higher up so they arent as secure or as loud or bassy as they should be and you cant adjust them. Second they use touch controls, no buttons. The problem for me is i live in florida, its hot. I use a desert style hat and the fabric on the sides hits the buds and stops the podcast, skips it, SUPER annoying. And that killed it for me.

Sound is great. They’re pretty comfortable to use for long periods. But there are two big issues. The case is garbage. And there is no real way of telling charge level (might be in their proprietary app). But the case does not hold the headphones against the contacts to charge them. I’m frequently having to dig through my backpack because they won’t shut off and my phone stays paired. Wouldn’t have bought these if they weren’t on sale.

Not quite what I was hoping for. I currently own the OpenComm and OpenRun headsets and love them for their intended purpose. I have been looking for a set of open ear buds for a long time and was excited to try these. Fit is hard for me because I unfortunately have abnormally large ears. The early reviews I saw gave me hope, but I was disappointed. There is not enough give in the bands to allow them to sit over my canals, so sound quality is affected. If I hold them over my ears they sound amazing for what they are. The fitting however does not influence the rating I have given them. Poor touch controls, weak app and no multipoint are deal breakers. Multipoint is the biggest. I could deal if switching devices was a little easier, but I have to actually disconnect them from one device before I can connect to another. Not worth the hassle. Its disappointing to see another set of buds trying to command a premium price but not giving standard features. These are not $180 buds. Going back.

Though the sound quality of these are definitely better, what I hate most about these are the controls. They have a touch control essentially and I really wish they had a button because where they sit on the ear it's kind of annoying to tap or tap and hold to play and pause, skip tracks or adjust volume. They are definitely very light though, and I appreciate the two-year warranty and usbc input.

[Employee of bestbuy] These headphones are quite interesting in a few ways. It’s a niche category to fall in where you wanna listen to music and still be aware of what’s going on around you, I would say it’s for The type of person that likes to use Lofi hip-hop beats to study to. The Headphones are great for adding background music to your day to day. You’re still totally capable of talking, working, getting chores done around the house. I will say it’s not for everyone, I wouldn’t recommend these headphones for anybody that wants to seriously enjoy their music, while the sound quality is still good, you are still prone to outside sound so It will drown out the sound of your music. They are a pretty secure fit on your ear, I did take a spill while skateboarding and they managed to stay on but it was quite difficult to hear my music while riding. Hands free is also not as nice or easy as one would want. There are touch controls on the headphones which offer Great features such as activating your smart assistant or controlling volume. But the headphones do not respond to smart assistant automations like “hey google” or “hey siri” the app is pretty friendly and useful I do enjoy have multiple devices paired to the headphones (even though you’re limited to 2) the option to customize the EQ is quite nice to have.

When I first got them, setup was easy and they really were the most comfortable headsets I have ever owned. They never fell off even during basketball and I could have them on for hours without even feeling I had them on. This was exaclty what I was looking for. The sound quality on voice calls was normal, the other person would hear me clearly without background noise and I could hear them just fine. Overall I had an amazing exerience…. Initially. Then after a week they stopped connecting correctly and I would constantly need to reconnect them everytime I needed to use them. You can’t adjust the volume on them without sacrificing another command because there is only 2 commands you are able to program at any given time. If you’re looking for headsets to primarily make phone calls and not have to put them away because of discomfort… these are the best. If you want something for music or sound quality, look somewhere else. I would have kept them if I didn’t have to deal with the connection problems but that is a HUGE problem I don’t have patience to deal with all day. When they fix that, I will buy them again.

The sound quality is good. As long as the over the ear thin extension is not broken, it holds well over ear. However, that part is easily broken is you fall asleep with the product and lean the wrong way over the product. Its thin and not strong

I bought these earphones because my beats earphones were hurting my ear, i saw these at Best Buy, i trsted the display, i like the sound the fact that go outside your ear so i bought them. My only complain is that is hard to change the volume, you are supposed to touch them few times but i always end up turning them off or iput them in silence. I saw that the new ones Openfit 2 have a button. I will probably buy those and sell mine.

Fitments a little loose, can't get it to stay in place. Good sound quality and you can hear everything around you but they can probably hear what im listening too also. Unfortunately too loose to wear at work when moving around like upside down or having your head tilted sideways alot. Case doesn't hold charge like the Samsung. Headphones and case will be dead if just sitting for a few days

Worth a try, but I had to return because I wasn’t a fan of the style. Sound quality was great and they were pretty comfortable. I wore them skiing and running a few times, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the design. I prefer an in ear design. I have an iPhone as well, so the Apple connectivity is tough to get away from.

[Employee of bestbuy] They fit exceptionally well, and the battery life is great, but after my third pair, I just can't expect them to last more than a few months. The speakers blow after a while, and I consistently have the volume at about 75%, not even at max. The Anker ones are better so far! :)

I love the idea of these headphones but there are too many issues. Mainly, the left ear has very diminished sound. Right ear is louder so stereo sounds doesn’t work. This happened within 4 months of purchase. Second major technical issue is the touch controls, they vary too much. Sometimes the lightest accidental touch will hang up a call or stop whatever I’ll listening to other times I have to practically slap myself against the head to get them to respond. I knew these wouldn’t be bone conduction but had liked the idea of the open ear, but it didn’t work well in real life. It blocks the ear canal so can’t hear outside noise clearly, to be expected, but when you are listening to something you can’t hear it well either if there is anything going on around you. End result, you can’t clearly hear either what’s playing or what’s going on around you. I could see this as dangerous for someone walking/running in a noisy environment. Shopping environment doesn’t work well either. Long story short, I have a very limited area where these are useful.

[Employee of bestbuy] The volume and sound is great but the buttons like you have on the standard version do not exist on this version. There is a very specific mark that you can touch twice and do it perfectly it will not work properly. Its best to use your phone unfortunately to change songs or volume. Wish the touch deature was easier to use.

I gave this 3 stars, because they were easy to set up, fight nice over the ears without any pain and I wear glasses. The sound quality was decent, the only thing is these are not noise cancelling. So if you don’t mind not having that feature, then these are a great choice!

These a descent sound. I'm able to still hear cars and people while walking. The touch is not that great. I haven't figured out what I'm doing wrong yet.

The Shokz OpenFit earphones offer an impressive listening experience with their innovative open-ear design, making them a solid choice for those who prioritize comfort and situational awareness. The audio quality is clear and balanced, providing a pleasant experience for both music and calls. However, one significant drawback is the quality of the charging station. Despite the high performance of the earphones themselves, the charging station feels cheaply made and tends to stop working after just a couple of months of use. This can be frustrating, especially considering the expectation of durability and longevity for such a product. On the positive side, Shokz does offer a replacement under their warranty, but the process can be a hassle. Having to call and arrange for a replacement detracts from the overall user experience and convenience. While it’s reassuring that the company stands by their product, the frequent need for replacement is disappointing. In summary, while the Shokz OpenFit earphones deliver on sound and comfort, the subpar quality of the charging station and the inconvenience of replacements due to its short lifespan are significant downsides.
