Comfortable fit, lightweight, good sound. I use primarily for audio books. Traditional earbuds don’t stay in my ears and I needed something that would be comfortable to wear with glasses and a helmet. They also do not get in the way of earrings.

So far these have been my favorite open ear headphones!
So why the 4 stars? First the positives.
1. Very comfortable. Like many other's have stated there were periods where I physically checked my ears because I wasn't sure if they were on or not.
2. Great sound in Dolby mode. Feels like listening to a soundtrack of your life.
3. Perform great when playing sports or working out. Absolutely no movement and they felt secure the whole time.
4. Surprisingly these headphones don't have a R/L for your ears. You put them on and it figures it out on it's own. This doesn’t seem like a big deal but being able to listen in one ear, and just pop the other in when the battery was low, was a really nice addition. Also its easy to share with another person without beingnconcerned about "ear wax".
Now the negatives.
1. Open air also means you can hear everything when you don't want to. This is to be expected but be aware that you likely won't get enough volume to "drown out" unwaited noises.
2. My first set had a slight issue with the charge case where In had to readjust tye buds to get a good connection. On several occasions I would discover that one bud had not charged after being left in the case due to failed pin connections. (Note: Nonissues with thrle exchanged pair so far)
3. Microphone for phone calls is very average. Expect to get the "I cant hear you" response when you're walking into the wind or really loud areas.
4. Oddly there are 3 touch control areas on the headphones but they are limited to 2 functions. (Long press to pause/play music, double-tap to raise/lower volume) - You can add a "skip" function but you lose one of the other two options. Also the "double-tap" function doesn't always work well when you’ve been working out.
Overall these are my favorite and I would recommend despite the short comings.

The Shokz OpenFit earbuds blend comfort and innovation with their open-ear design, letting you enjoy rich sound while staying tuned into the world around you. Their featherlight feel makes them barely noticeable, yet they stay put even through intense workouts. While not built for audiophiles, they shine in versatility—perfect for runners, commuters, and multitaskers who value awareness as much as audio.

The sound quality is great. Voices are especially clear and good base response. They snap on to your ear easily and dont fall off (like Airpods). And the small size charging case easily fits in your pocket. Pairing is simple and you can pair to 2 different devices. Only negative is since they don't push into your ear canal they can be hard to hear in a very noisy environment.

I was using Bose Open Ear buds and I loved them except for the mic quality. It was hard to talk on the phone. These also are very comfortable and sound great. Although I mostly listen to audio, not music, so I'm not the greatest judge. Nobody complains when I use them on the phone now so the mic is much better. Battery life seems longer than the Bose. Overall, I am very happy with these.

There are no other open ear clip on earbuds. I’ve tried many and these are far and away the best—not just because they’re priced the way they are. They aren’t the cheapest, but they’re also not the most expensive. They provide decent bass for open ear earbuds and you can wear them all day without stuffing anything in your ear hole. You literally forget you’re wearing them until somebody says, “What’s that on your ears?”

First thing I want to start off with is the fit of these buds, it is amazing! They are very comfortable and you can wear them all day without having ear fatigue. The second is the sound. I will tell you I am one that does not mind an app and to get the full compliment of these buds, you do need to use the app. I adjusted the equalizer to my liking and you can actually get a nice full sound, with decent bass considering they don't sit inside of your ear canal. They are great for phone calls as well as I use these all day long for music and taking calls, I haven't had any complaints with the other party while I'm on the phone as far as them hearing me or me hearing them. The one complaint I do have are the controls. They are very limited, basically to play/pause and volume up/down, maybe a software upgrade will come through and will give more controls, but I can live with it for now. One of the other things that makes my day great with these are the fact that I am able to listen to music while I have a conversation with them and can here the person I'm talking to perfectly fine. All in all these are a total win and if the controls get an upgrade these will be excellent.

This is my first set of open earbuds. I have to say that they are comfortable, easy to set up and connect. They also have incredible sound quality that of regular in the ear earbuds. This is a great product.

I tried the Bose open ear 1st. They just wouldn't stay on my left ear for some reason. I love these Shokz. Very comfortable. Could wear them all day long. Sound qaulity is pretty good. Battery life seems good. I have only wore them for about 3 hours at a time.

Just got these earbuds. A little different than anything I have had in the past, but I like them. The new clip style is pretty secure which is great. They feel weird at first, but you get use to them quickly. Sound quality both for music and phone calls is pretty good.
Only issue I have with them is that they don't work very well in a more noisy environment. Walking along a busy street and the cars drowned out the sound.

These are amazing. Half the time, i forget I'm even wearing them. The sound quality is even better than i could have expected. Works seamlessly between talking and getting in the truck and then getting out. It picks up your voice very well while talking. I have yet to find a shokz product that has disappointed. By far the best ear buds I've ever used. The battery life is great as well. I rarely charge the case more than once a week if that.

Love the open ear design and it clipping onto your ear feels great i often forget that i have them in if im not listening to anything for a bit. Obviously since they are open ear if the environment is very loud it can be hard to hear whatever your listening too but for most areas they are perfect and let you still hear whats going on around you pretty well
