Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was first introduced to Shokz when my girlfriend’s son got a pair of the OpenFit earbuds, he loved them so much I ended up getting the OpenRun headphones. Both sets have been great and the OpenRun have now been given to my girlfriend after getting the OpenDots. She never liked any in ear earbuds and the Shokz were the first wireless headphones she liked. The biggest draw for all of us with the Shokz brand is the fact of not having earbuds in the ear, so less chances of getting an ear infection from in ear earbuds. With the OpenDots, you get a pair of earbuds you’re not having to constantly adjust, I mean with these, you can literally put them on and never touch them again. I was really surprised at how well these stay on the ear, but even more surprised at how good they sound. These things sound just as good as in ear buds, which you would think they wouldn’t since they don’t seal the ear canal. With the Shokz app, you can choose different sound profiles or create your own. You also have find my earbuds functionality in the app. Usage wise, Shokz claim up 40 hours of listening and when it’s time to charge you have fast charging via USB-c or wireless charging. They also have multi point functionality as well as being able to use each earbud independent of each other for both music and calls. The OpenDots show you can have great sound from an innovative set of ear buds that aren’t in ear earbuds.

Incredible quality while also being able to hear my surroundings, Open ear is the way to go. Its clear for calls and music sounds great on work outs, does not move or fall out of my ear when running. I would recommend these to everyone and anyone who wants to hear their surroundings while also listening to audio. The connection is great, I use them about 2 hours a day during work out and have charged them once in 10 days. Batteries last a while between charging and thankfully has wireless charging as well as wired. 10/10 or in the case of best buy, 5 stars,

These are amazing, the sound clarity is rich and vibrant. They hold a charge longer than the beats that they replaced. They hold place in your ear but not so tight that it’s uncomfortable 10/10

If you are tired of shoving earbuds into your ear canal these are going to be an excellent option for you. The sound is great, no they won't have as much base as something that goes in your ear but to me they are adequate for what they are. You can wear them all day without having to worry about comfort, I've even fallen asleep in them and they were still on my ears when I woke up. Definitely some of the best buds I've ever owned. The ability to multi-pair across platforms is clutch for me. I will go from my personal phone to my work laptop and then swap out my work laptop and add in my Apple TV and then swap out the Apple TV and put it to another phone while all still maintaining a connection to my original phone and that has been game changing.

I bought these as an owner of the older "behind the neck" shokz. Pros: - sound is excellent and the app lets you modify the equalizer to adapt sound to what you listen to - environmental sound transparency is great - very comfortable, and they stay on my ears Cons: - the fast-forward triple-tap and pause double-tap can be very finicky and work as intended about 75% of the time - I accidentally flung one of these off my ear during a run, when my fingertip caught on the ear loop after fast forwarding (triple tap). Overall I really like these, and hope they improve the double and triple tap sensitivity.

In general, I have had a good experience with these headphones. At first, I was skeptical because they are different, but the battery lasts a long time, and the sound is good. The comfort is good, not excellent, but definitely good. I would recommend them because you can hear the sound clearly and block out external noise.

These smaller and discrete ear buds are my go to for working out in the gym. The sound quality is right up where I expect them to be. My favorite part of the ear buds is the comfort. They feel very comfortable and stay put when working out. Some of the controls on them are not the best, but for what I use them for I find them user friendly. If you are looking for a pair for working out or in a situation you are moving around a lot I would suggest them fully!

I love these Shokz! The sound and fit works great for me and I have tried a lot of styles and brands before trying these. The other brands style either hurt my ear or would not stay in/on my ear while simply just moving around my house and would not trust them for outdoor activities. Shokz stay on my ear and they are so comfortable I usually forget to take them off when not in use.

Awesome set for those that can’t tolerate any headphones inside your ears. The Sound is Great, and they also include Wireless Charging and Excellent Battery Life. Recommended!!

This is my first time using an open-ear headphone set, and it's absolutely worth it! It came nicely packed with a complimentary protective case, a type-c charging cable and a super easy-to-follow user guide. The earbuds are incredibly lightweight, non-invasive and very comfortable! I can wear them for hours without any discomfort or the annoying feeling of something pulling my ears. Sometimes I even forget I have them on! Despite the light weight, the earbuds fit snugly and stay in place well.. There are also touch controls on earbuds that are smart, sensitive and responsive, which are pretty convenient.

They are the most comfortable earbuds I have ever had! I have never owned earbuds that didn’t hurt after a little while of wearing them, but I have worn these for hours without even feeling them on . The sound is so crisp and perfect too! I use them every day and I haven’t had to charge them more than once every couple of weeks

Absolutely love them!!! They don’t fall off and fit nicely on my ears. It’s great they don’t go inside my ear. Sound is amazing and I can still hear what’s going on around me.

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.

Although you could use these headphones for running, working out, or general use where you want to hear what is going on around you, I got them for work. I can wear them all day and not get ear fatigue like i used to get with in ear earbuds. Sound (music and podcasts) quality is good, comfort is great, they are secure (wont fall out). The only place they are lacking for me is mic quality. Since I use them for teams calls, i use my laptop mic and use these to listen to the audio

I can’t believe how comfortable these earbuds are to wear. The sound is awesome and I don’t worry about them dislodging from my ear.

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.

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

Great sound,great fit,feels weightless on ears(used for 4hrs straight on first use.)Could hear the outside world with no problems.

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.

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.
