Customer Ratings & Reviews

The most comfortable earbuds I've ever owned. The sound quality is great and most of the time I forget they are on my ears. They're very light and comfortable. They stay charged for multiple work shifts and the app works great.

These have became my new favorite headphones. They stay on my ear and d I nt hall out. Ive even slept with yhem on listening tk an audio book. No ear pain or discomfort and the sound quality is pretty good nice. Im able to actually use them for a full 11 hr shift at work ( i dont blast them in my ears at work ) so the battery might shorten a bit if u got them cranked up. One thing i liked is that they dont get gross cuz your not actually inserting them in your ear. But you wont get a full sound canceling effect from them (thats not what i was looking for personally with them) they are small compact i can charge them a few times before having to charge the case.

I have mostly stopped using my other headphones since I got these. I have wireless in-ear JBLs, Sonys, and others. But I have mostly set them aside for these. I feel like I'm making a healthier choice for my ears since they don't get jammed inside there. And I feel like I'm making a smarter choice for myself since it's easier to hear what's going on around me. The tap controls don't work great for me. That's why I would really call this a 4.5-star review. To be fair, I haven't messed with all the settings in the app to *make* the controls work for me, yet. I'm too busy simply wearing them and enjoying the experience. I often worry about them slipping from my ears, just from the muscle memory of checking with my regular in-ear headphones. But I rarely find that they've moved at all. My ears are small compared to other folks and the fit is still great. The sound is what I'd expect for something not being directly in-ear—that is to say, it's going to be better the more you turn up the volume. But the point of these really is the opposite of noise-cancellation, you know? I value that I'm able to hear more of what's going on around me when I suddenly have to talk to other people or when I'm doing chores and a timer goes off or when I'm walking and there are people and cars in my surroundings. At this price, I'm going to start saving now in order to afford another set, but I already know I'll be getting another set for sure.

I rarely do reviews but these are amazing. I can't tolerate the in-ear noise cancelling type. I also wear glasses and typically open-ear style have clips which wrap around the outer ear. These clip on the outer edge of your ear sorta like old style clip-on earrings. But these aren't like your grandma's earrings. You can move around for your comfort zone w/o loss of sound quality. The tension is just enough to hold in place....in normal situations. W/O any sound, I forgot they were there. I was outside, gnat flying around my ear. Swatted and knocked off the earbud. Didn't notice until later and because I hadn't loaded the app yet, had to go on Easter egg hunt to find it. But what makes them stand out is the sound quality. Crisp, clear, full. You can pick up all the subtle background layers. And they're not shoved into my ear canals. All I have to do get noise cancelling is crank up the volume. The sound stays true w/o distortion. Definitely worth the extra the extra money. Connect easily. Battery life is great so far compared to others. Last note, you might want a longer charge cord with a block. Still worth it in my opinion.

Just spent the last 4days trying out several open ear models including the Bose ultra open ear, Baseus Mc1 and Mf1 models and soundpeats pearlclip pro…for those on a budget the soundpeats pearlclip pros are the clear winner at $39 Comfortable and loud with a full bass profile they won’t disappoint. The Baseus Mc1 had the clearest sound with sharp highs and lows and decent bass but only if you are in a dead quiet environment. The bose ultra were the next model I tried and yes they were comfortable and a rich balanced sound but that’s only if you got them in the perfect position and again in a quiet environment. At 40% the noise bleed was insane everyone standing near me or that I walked by could hear it and if you are in a noisy area you need the volume at 70% at least then you might as well just play music from your phone speakers to let everybody listen along. For a $300 price tag they just didn’t justify and I found myself constantly moving them up or down to get that sweet spot for the full sound . Returned those and got shockz open one dots and these were the original ones I had been interested in and go figure they were the last ones I tried. For 199.99 I avoided them opting to try budget options first then when that wasn’t satisfying I jumped straight to Bose thinking I’ll just shell out the money and be happy..it was underwhelming so before giving up on my open ear pursuit I finally gave the shokz onedots a try. The moment I took them out they felt soft,sleek and I found myself smiling at the premium light weight feel..my hopes once again began to build. Putting them on my ears took no effort at all and were instantly comfortable. Pairing with app with sound on standard and Dolby turned on the sound was full and loud was the first thing i pleasantly noticed. I wasn’t straining to hear it and my vol was about 40percent . I was relieved to hear the bass without distortion and i didn’t have to adjust for that sweet spot either. These are amazing and what i had been searching for. Loud or low enough to hear in pretty much any environment. I vacuumed my house and still enjoyed these. Just give them a try you can always return them but I bet you won’t especially if you have tried other open end options.

These things are amazing! I bought them to see how they would compare to my OpenRun Pro 2 and they blow them out of the water. They are light and you can’t tell you have them on. The sound is truly incredible for not being earbuds. I let my wife try them and she ended up getting a set for her. The battery lasts 10 hours as advertised. Will definitely recommend them for anyone looking for open ear headphones. I wanted to compare them to the Bose but they don’t have a display set so I went with these for less than half the price (when on sale) and couldn’t be happier.

After trying dozens of models, I finally found the best ones. The sound adapts to my needs and how I want to wear them. They don't feel like they're falling off. They're not heavy! They're very comfortable and easy to use. I like them so much that I bought a second pair for my grandmother!

TLDR: A different twist on traditional earbuds. They have better audio quality and fit than the Shokz OpenFit 2’s. PROS Lightweight & Extremely Comfortable Supports Dolby Audio & High-Resolution Audio Excellent Battery Life Better than Shokz “Flagship” Open Fit 2 CONS Mixed retention results during workouts No ANC USE The Open Dots are Shokz latest entry into their “Open” line of earbuds. Straying away from the traditional in-ear buds that most other manufacturers pursue, Shokz focuses on bone conducting models and on ear models. Unlike traditional buds that fit into the ear or over the ear, the Open Dots “clip” on to the back of your ear and hook into the ear. It feels odd when you first try them on. But, after about a minute, I found myself not ever wanting to go back to a traditional earbud that clips over the top of the ear. The Open Dots fit far better than any other clip over the ear buds have ever fit, at least for my ears and in my opinion. No matter how hard I tried, I just never could get comfortable with the clip over style buds. They never seemed secure. Not so with the Open Dots. They feel more stable and secure than many others. Like all good quality ear buds, the Open Dots support high-resolution audio playback, including Dolby Audio. My HMD Android phone immediately indicated that the Dots supported high-resolution audio immediately after pairing. Sound quality is quite good, especially if you subscribe to streaming services that offer high-resolution audio capabilities. Call quality is as good as any other earbuds on the market. Not stellar and nothing that really stands out, but on par with all the others. Wind attenuation during calls was fair, but with these buds not sitting down into the ear canal, don’t expect pristine audio during calls in the wind. I often found myself turning up the volume to compensate for wind noise intruding around the ear buds. Battery life is exceptional. The Open Dots have battery life on par with Shokz’s best buds. Even after several hours of listening to music and podcasts, there was still plenty of battery life left for a couple more hours. OUTSTANDING. The Open Dots have a much better battery life than many of Shokz’s competitors. NEGATIVES There is no active noise cancellation. If I wore ear buds while traveling only, these would NOT be my go-to ear buds. There is no way to drown out ambient noise on planes or other forms of mass transit. The Shokz app is not as refined as the competition. It is simple to use and easy to understand but also lacks integration with music streaming services that the competition does. Because of this, you are forced to switch between apps to adjust the buds or to the streaming service of your choice. The competition includes basic playback functions of your current streaming services on their landing page of their apps, and it is a convenient and welcome addition. FINAL THOUGHTS During workouts, I find the Open Dots could use just a touch more tension to stay in place, but I still like them better than any over the ear buds that I currently have. Clipping on to the ear is intuitive and convenient and is more comfortable than any other set of ear buds I’ve tried to date. The deal breaker for me is the lack of ANC. I use my earbuds a lot while traveling and these just don’t have the ability to drown out the ambient noise. To be fair to the Dots, they do a better job at isolating the listener far better than the Open Fit 2’s ever did for me, but they still let in too much outside noise. However, when I’m not traveling, I find myself reaching for Open Dots more and more and that says a lot. Call quality without wind is good and audio playback is crisp and clean, even if lacking in the bass department. Still, the Open Dots are a comfortable set of ear buds that have excellent battery life. RECOMMENDED

Fell in love after trying the in store demo. FEEL is great, sits in ear without pinching it or feeling like your ear canal is stuffed. Sound is surprisingly good. App allows little configuration of sound levels. NOT good if you're after noise isolation, but good overall otherwise. Battery life is great. Touch controls are limited, but functional. Quickly became my favorites. I've had to try several ear buds because some brands are far too loose, are hard to keep ear wax out of or make the ear feel stuffed. These have not fallen off my ear once in weeks. That can't be said for most of my others.

I bought these for my wife for Christnas, She loves them and gets work done around the house much faster. I do catch her singing along with the music as she works. These stay in place and do not fall out of the ears. You can take a phone call and I can hear my wife and she can hear me perfectly fine. They are comfortable and lightweight. They aren't noise canceling, but she says she doesn't hear much environmental noise when she wears them. I highly recommend. There is an app that you can download that is supposed to make the sound quality even better, but she said she can't seem to get it to connect, but the sound quality isn't bad. She would highly recommend these to busy moms

They are comfortable and easy to put on. I sometimes forget I even have them on. They stay on my ear; I bought these to replace my Samsung earbuds that I had for several years and those kept coming out and I would accidentally hang up on people trying to get them in but with these I dont have that problem. These have great sound quality both for listening to music and carrying on a conversation. There is an app you can download to control them which is a bonus. Also, you don't have a designated earbud of right or left; both can be worn on either side which I believe is a game changer.

Reviewing this almost a year into usage, I use it lightly for music and some phone calls. The phone calls are a bit muffled as expected, it can't perform magic. The audio is great and its comfortable if you tried it in store. It doesnt come off during running either. I also had trouble using in ears due to poor fit but this solves the problem assuming it fits fine on your ears.

I have owned the Open Run Pros for about four years, and they're still going strong with daily use. My wife liked them, but with her long hair, she felt they would be a hassle. When she learned Shokz had these clip-ons, we bought them. We've had them for about one month now, and they are fantastic. The battery life, sound quality, and connectivity features are all top-notch. The phone mic built into these do a fantastic job with whatever noise-cancelling voodoo technology Shokz uses. For me, I'll still prefer the Open Run Pro line for their incredible ability to stay stuck to my head. My wife loves them so far with no complaints.

If you don't need noise cancelling and prefer an open ear design for working, out these are perfect. Sound shockingly good and stay securely in place while running and working out, unlike in-ear buds that will gradually slip out from sweat and lose sound quality as they shift. Great design and great quality.

Great sound!! These are very comfortable to wear and battery last a long time. Great looking too

I really love this flexible clip type open ear earphone. I hardly notice that im wearing one. Very comfortable with good high, middle and bass for its type. I also like there's no Left and Right earpiece. I also love its battery life and bluetooth range.

Shokz has been known for years for making a variety of earphones and buds, and for me, one of my favorite pair of them are some bone conducting buds, that sit on instead of in your ear, allowing you to hear your surroundings while still getting good sound. The new Shokz OpenDots One buds work in a similar way, in that you can hear your music and calls and still hear your surroundings, but in this case, they clip onto your ears, so the speakers rest inside your outer ear, but do not block your inner ear canals. The OpenDots come with a pill shaped charging case that will give you several charges when fully topped up. I’ve been able to get roughly 5 hours of use using medium volume out of the pair before they show signs of of sputtering out. You just pop them back in the case to recharge and then reuse. You’ll get several more charges from the case before it needs charged itself, and you can use a short (or any) USB-C cable to charge it, or, it will also charge wirelessly, though a little slower that way. The buds fit neatly into the case. Long-pressing the button on the back puts it into Bluetooth pairing mode, and I have had no issues connecting them to my iPhone or my TV. A short press on the button will show you the battery life on the case – green, orange, or red. It would be nice to have several small lights to better let you know how much charge is in it, though. Once connected, you just clip/slide them onto the side of your ear, with the speakers resting in your outer ear area and the battery/control area semi behind your ear. In a way, they almost look like clip-on earrings (at least according to a few people who have seen them on me). They’re more comfortable than I thought they’d be. They don’t pinch, but stay secure, even when I move my head around. They haven’t slipped off at all, so I feel they are secure. Even after a few hours of wear, they aren’t uncomfortable, so long as you don’t literally lay down on your side with them in. Controls are easy. A quick guide is on the wrapper and on a small sheet included in the box. You can pinch both sides of the battery compartment a couple of times to play/pause music. Pinching and holding for a couple of seconds on the right increases the volume, and lowers it on the left. The two pinch method also works to answer a call, or you can tap the inner portion of the OpenDots twice to do the same thing. Holding the pinch on both sides will reject a call. The combinations take a few times to get the hang of, but they work well. I haven’t seen a specific water repellent rating for this model, but in general, Shokz has been known to at least be decently swear resistant, so I haven’t had any issues with that aspect of it. Sound quality is very good. A little weak with just one ear, but using both together, the sound opens up really nicely, with a good range of highs and lows. People around me say they can’t really hear anything unless I crank them up a good bit. Calls are ok. I can hear people very well, but do have to talk slightly above normal volumes in order for them to hear me. I’ve been told they can tell I’m on earbuds, but they also said I’m clear enough to get the job done. I’m giving the OpenDots One five stars, because they are not only very innovative in design, but are comfortable and work well. They may become my favorite pair of earbuds! Recommended.

Hands down the best purchase! I was a die hard Apple AirPods girl but once I switched to the shokz I’m never going back! They are comfortable and they don’t fall out of my ears! Plus’s I can hear my surroundings when I’m on my walls! Excellent music quality too!

These have very good sound and are soo comfortable to wear that i forget im wearing them. I got these because the ones i had would constantly fall out and i had to keep adjusting. Not these! I even tried shaking them off and rhey stay put!

Great product. It is comfortable, light, battery is long lasting, looks nice, very good sound
