Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been using this for few weeks now and I absolutely love it. Very comfortable on ear, clear & loud, just love it! You won't be able to exercise in these though, they kinda stay on your ear, not exactly a clip.

The shokz is a good pair of ear pods which they are comfortable

For an open air headphone, these are the best ones I have tried so far. The bass sound is really good. The mids and highs are also well received. I'm most concerned with bass as I listen to a lot of jazz, r&b and hip hop music.

I’ve owned from beats to AirPods and let me tell you these are a game changer. I use these everyday and they are light and comfortable. Great size to store them anywhere. For being open ear these are great in sound and quality.

For whatever reason, my daughter and I could NEVER find a pair of earbuds that would actually stay in our ear! This is a game changer and the sound is amazing!! I forget their in sometimes!! Worth every penny!

Works great for running. Does not fall or move around

I think they sounded great and definitely would be great for certain ppl but I just didn’t like the feeling on the back of my ear

This product actually has amazing sound for it just being open ear!

Nice sound and open ear feel. Stays in place while I run, but lets me stay aware of my surroundings. Good battery life on phones and case. Works well even with small ears. Would recrecommend.

These headphones are great! Even though they are clip on, they sound like in ear earbuds. Great sound quality and the microphone during calls are clear. These are a great buy.

I've been curious about the new trend of "open" ear headphones that clip on rather than sit inside the ear canal. I usually only wear my headphones at the gym or for long phone conversations because I don't love the suction feeling you get from most noise-canceling earphones, and I haven't found a pair of over-ear headphones comfortable enough for long-term wear. I decided to put my intrigue to the test with the latest open earbuds from Shokz. The OpenDots 2 promise great sound quality, light weight and good call quality, all while clipping gently to the outer edge of your ear, with the speaker resting just outside your ear canal. This is truly the first time I've tried this style of earbud -- none of my friends have this style, either -- so I wasn't sure what to expect. The OpenDots 2 arrived in a small package, and I was pleased to find an abundance of recyclable material used. No plastic wrap or styrofoam, Shokz instead uses paper and cardboard, and to good effect. Once again, I'm glad to see manufacturers taking real steps to package and ship products more sustainably. The OpenDots themselves live in a small, ovoid case like most wireless earbuds, with the bottom half covered in a matte soft-touch material and the lid rendered in shiny plastic. The case, and the buds themselves, are an attractive mix of textures in a sleek dark gray/black combo. They're attractive and feel well made while also being very lightweight. I would prefer just a bit more grip on the case itself, but it's easy enough to open, close and slip into a pocket, and I haven't dropped it yet. The Dots themselves are strange looking on first glance, with a small round ball end connected to a slightly larger cylinder by a thin, curved band. The band and the parts of both ends that touch your skin are a nice, soft silicone material, while the rest is a shiny plastic. Again, the OpenDots 2 are very lightweight, and feel a bit breakable on account of the flexible band, but once you figure out how they attach to your ear it all makes sense. Setup is as simple as pairing the OpenDots to your phone, computer or other device and then putting them in your ear. I'm glad Shokz includes a little quick start and positioning guide, as it feels a little weird the first few times you use the OpenDots. I quickly adjusted, though, and can now put them in and take them out as easily as I do my AirPods. I definitely recommend downloading the Shokz app to tweak settings and whatnot; the app connected to the OpenDots 2 immediately and performed a firmware update. The app is well laid out, straightforward and responsive. I've had no trouble with it or the bluetooth connection of the OpenDots when using my iPhone and my MacBook Pro. Multipoint pairing is available and works great. Bluetooth has definitely improved over the years and I'm glad Shokz has a solid implementation of the latest standards here. Once connected I immediately opened Spotify to check out the audio quality. The OpenDots 2 default sound profile is fine, somewhat balanced and flat; in other words, nothing to write home about. Where they really come alive, in my opinion, is flipping on the Dolby Audio sound effect that lives front and center when you open the Shokz app page for the OpenDots 2. This is not a sound enhancement gimmick at all; the Dolby processing really seems to bring music to life. Bass is noticeable, voices are clear and highs are sparkly without painful sibilance. Props to Dolby and Shokz here -- this is a great setting and one I've left on. If the Dolby profile isn't to your liking you can choose from a few other built-in EQ modes, take a sound test for a custom sound profile, or mess around with a graphic equalizer to fine-tune the sound. The "Smart EQ" option didn't wow me, but did improve the audio over the standard profile; I still prefer the Dolby Audio sound over all other EQ settings. That said, you should have no trouble dialing in settings for yourself if you like to tweak EQ. I'm impressed with the amount of bass these open-ear 'phones can produce. At low to moderate volumes in a quiet space, I prefer the sound of the OpenDots 2 to my AirPod Pro 2s, which have been my sound benchmark for a long time. With the open design the stereo separation and soundstage are expansive, helped by the Dolby tuning, I'm guessing. I've found myself wearing the OpenDots at work, and I never wear 'phones at work. The sound is very good but avoids annoying others in the office as with a regular speaker. It's a great compromise. Audio quality on a phone call is another highlight. I've had a few long conversations while doing chores around the house, and I think this might be the "secret" weapon use case for me. When things are quiet the tight fit and noise canceling of my AirPods are more annoying than they are helpful; I find the effect of hearing your own muffled voice through the noise canceling annoying. The OpenDots, meanwhile, put your caller's audio right in your ear, but with the open design, you hear your voice the same as you would talking on speakerphone. In other words, it's much more natural. This is where the exceptional comfort of the OpenDots 2 really comes in clutch: simply put, these are the most comfortable earphones I've ever used. Once you clip them on, they practically disappear. They grip my ears firmly, but they're next to weightless; you can hardly feel them on. They stay put and hardly shift, even when exercising. Definitely the first pair of earphones I can wear all day without complaint. While they're great for office, around the house and solo outdoor exercise, the open design has clear limitations: namely, there's no active or passive noise cancelation at all, which is important to keep in mind with these open-style earbuds. I wore the OpenDots 2 to the gym, and while I was able to turn the volume up enough to hear my music, I could not drown out the blasting gym speakers without giving myself a headache. Just keep in mind the open design is both the best part of these 'phones and the biggest limitation. Overall, I really, really like the Shokz OpenDots 2. They're well-made, supremely comfortable for all-day wear, and offer robust, surprisingly good sound. I really enjoy using these for music and phone calls at home and the office, and I reach for them more often than any other headphones or earphones. That said, the open design is both the highlight and the achilles heel here, as there's no noise canceling to speak of. Despite their comfort these are not a great option for really noisy environments. As long as you're aware of their design limitations I don't think you can go wrong with the Shokz OpenDots 2.

So glad I got these Open Ear earbuds. The clip on style is truly comfortable and using it all day is ideal. No sound leakage at all and sound quality is amazing. I have to say that this is the best earbuds I've had throughout many style and brands. I must have for sure! Highly recommend.....!

These are my daily wear for movies and YouTube. Easy to listen to while still present with what's going on around you. Even music is surprisingly good

I have tried Bose Ultra Open, Anker AeroClip, Shokz OpenDot One, Shokz OpenFit Pro and Sony LinkBuds Clip. I prefer the OpenDots Two over all the others. The OpenDots One are very good but Shokz made some nice enhancements on the OpenDots Two.

I have used Shoktz, over the ear and bone conducting for years now. The Open Dot 2 is simply next next and better step in their inventory. I didn't know how much better they can make these. Awesome!

Battery life is perfect, they stay clean, and you cant feel them on. It's perfect for working out and taking call and listening to music while exercising.

These earbuds are great!! I love that there is now a physical button for answer calls. A great improvement since Open Dots 1

Excellent sound quality and battery life. Holds a charge for multiple days. Earbuds sit comfortably around the ear, not inside. Much comfier than Airpods

These stay in and are so comfortable I am always forgetting I have them in. The sound is awesome as well, so perfect all around for me.

They're comfortable fitting and I love that I don't have to shove them in my ear and can still hear my surroundings
