Customer Ratings & Reviews

As a long-time Shokz enthusiast, having owned the OpenRun, OpenRun 2, and OpenFit 2, I thought I knew what to expect from open-ear audio. But the new Shokz OpenDots ONE have completely reset the bar! The sound quality is simply excellent – rich, clear, and surprisingly immersive for an open-ear design. In fact, I'd go as far as to say it even surpasses the highly-regarded Bose Open Ultras, offering a depth and clarity I wasn't expecting. The fit is certainly a unique departure from traditional headphones, and admittedly, it might feel a little unconventional at first glance. However, once you have them positioned correctly, they truly become almost unnoticeable. Unless you're already a fan of the open-ear aesthetic like the Bose, the discreet design quickly fades into the background. What's truly remarkable is how they don't interfere at all with glasses or piercings, a huge plus for many. Ultimately, the Shokz OpenDots ONE offer the most unobtrusive fit I've experienced in any open-ear headphone, and they do so without compromising on audio quality. If you're looking for a listening experience that keeps you connected to your surroundings without sacrificing excellent sound, look no further. These are a game-changer!

I absolutely LOVE these! I have tried about every earbuds out there and not satisfied. Fisrt, i do not like anyting obstructing my hearing so in the era buds are out of the queation. I wear glasses and other earbuds interfered with my glasses, i was always adjusting. These are SO comfortable that i forget i have them on. Battery life is amazingly long! Well worth every penny!

I was worried about getting this new technology but it turns out they're pretty good. It's only very slightly uncomfortable sometimes but other than that I can keep them on all day. Sound quality is great. I wouldn't mind seeing these with noise canceling audio but I understood that they did not come with noise canceling. I'm sure the microphone is noise canceling as I haven't heard any complaints from the phone calls I've made.

Sound quality is great and also sit on the ear a lot better they don’t move around at all

Overall pretty good. Good sound quality while listening to music. Sometimes they lose connection in one ear while on a call, but comes back to normal. Not sure why.

Always seeing them promoted in Spartans Races and Hyrox couldn’t decide if I wanted them so Its my first time owning this brand and I couldn’t ask for more, you really don’t notice you have them on and doesn’t irritate your ears, perfect sound quality on music and on calls. If you don’t buy them I swear it is your loss

Best Buy's customer service is excellent. Also, this one is in open box, but the quality is exactly the same as new

Got these headphones for my wife as she works from home and does a lot of DIY projects around the house but hated her current headphones. She got annoyed she couldn’t listen to her music and still engage with the family or wear comfortably with glasses. Said the opendotz are good if you’re not moving around too much but slip down your ear after about an hour of use. And the touch controls can be finicky.

I really like this bluetooth open ear buds, I am using this for my office Teams calls and my phone calls at the same time no need to disconnect and re connect it connects smoothly. I really like that feature. Sound quality is great and I can wear it all day.

I'm OBSESSED with the open dots! My old Shokz were starting to stop working and i needed to replace them. When i saw these i knew i needed them! They took some time to get use to, but overall they stay put and are comfortable.

I have always had problems with headphone and earbud due to sensitivity issues and smaller ears. These are very comfortable, light weight, and stay on perfectly. The app that you can use with allows for alterations to the sound to fit your preference.

Love these head phones they work so much better than the shock's twos really enjoy them.They work great and have great noise.Cancellation always love the shocks super awesome that they have wireless charging capabilities

They're fantastic! I have the problem of my ear being small, and they fit perfectly. The battery lasts all day with the hands-free in my ear. I give them a 100% rating, and the people are amazing; they provide fantastic service.

These are among my favorites so far.while they are nearer to my inner ear that the over ear one piece aftershokz I find them comfortable and they even seem more secure than the separate over ears. The sound quality is amazing and they actually even reduce exterior noise quite well.

Great sound quality, battery life and comfortability. Also, stay on better than the AirPods.

Excellent product and like brand new condition ....

Comodidad, durabilidad, cargan super rápido, buen sonido.

This product was purchased for hands free telephone calls and for listening to music. Music functions are suitable. Telephone call quality is incredibly poor. I have updated firmware, turned microphone noise cancelling on and off, and multiple call recipients continue to demand that I disconnect the earbuds. I have had Jabra in the past, and they are head and shoulders above these in all aspects of quality. It is too bad that Jabra has left this market.

Very good sound quality and very lightweight great sound

The best set of open-ear buds I have ever had the privilege of listening to. The Opendots One have a unique manner of fitting around the backside of the ear, with the battery side of the bud resting behind the ear and the sound transmitter resting lightly in the ear canal. My initial thoughts were that there would be a lack of bass due to the style, and that volume would suffer. But the moment I put the Opendots in my ear, I was impressed. I’m not one for hyperbole, but these absolutely blew me away with the amount of volume, bass, and midrange clarity that they had. But I’m getting ahead of myself. After unboxing the Opendots Ones, I held the little button on the back of the case as instructed in the manual and synced them via Bluetooth to my phone. Next, I downloaded the Shokz app and performed a firmware update. Then it was on to listening. The Shokz app allows for customizing the different finger pinch or tapping motions that can be done on the Ones to advance tracks, play/pause, or change volume. It also allows the user to select from different EQs and enable Dolby Audio. I listened to a couple dozen songs with Dolby Audio on and off, and settle on it being off. It seemed to make the mix sound more muffled. After cycling through the different EQs, I settled on ‘Bass Mode’. The app identifies bass mode as best for rock and electronic, and provided a nice bass boost and treble lift. All of my further testing was done with Bass Mode enabled and Dolby Audio off. Whether it was listening to Tool’s 46 and 2, Loreena Mckennit’s Marco Polo, or Fleetwood Mac’s The Chain, the Opendots Ones sounded fantastic. Plenty of volume. Plenty of bass. The growl of the bass in Limp Bizkit’s cover of Faith got me nodding my head. I don’t think I had ever heard it like that! The midrange in particular shines on the Opendots Ones. If I had to nitpick anything about the sound, it would be the lack of really, deep bass and the tendency for the Ones to get a little harsh on the top end when listening to metal or mixes with a lot of musical information in them. But that is being really picky, and I fully enjoyed my listening session. The Dots are extremely comfortable to wear. They don’t sit in the ear canal, so they don’t fatigue it. They grip the ear tightly enough to stay in place, but loose enough to not hurt. Chewing food did not move the Dots. Exercising did not move the Dots. Talking did not move the Dots. I’m sure you get the point. They stayed in place and were super comfortable, no matter the activity. One thing I noticed, is due to their design, when you have the volume up a decent level, the Dots are heard by everyone near by. I did some testing with my wife, and when I had the volume up 3/4 of the way, rocking some System of a Down, she could hear the music in the next room. It was like I was listening to my regular audio system quietly, but she could hear it. So, you’re not going to be able to sit in a library or on a crowded bus jamming loudly without the people around you hearing these. There is a ‘Private’ mode in the app that can be selected and it automatically lowers the EQ and volume down to a level that cannot be heard outside of the listener’s ears. And it did work, but it was a little quiet for me. The only thing I can think of to keep in mind if you purchase these for use at a gym or classroom. For me, this is an easy 5 out of 5 star review. The Dots sound great, they get loud, they are powerful, they are comfortable, the battery life is impressive, and they stay put. I happily recommend them.
