Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Shokz OpenFit 2+ headphones are an upgrade to the already great OpenFit 2 open earbuds and improve upon them in every way. In this review, I’ll outline the pros, cons, and what I liked most about these headphones, along with my experience using them. The OpenFit 2+ don’t really go into your ears as much as they rest on them, pointing the sound into your ears. This fit feels unusual at first, but soon you’ll completely forget you’re wearing them because they are incredibly comfortable, even for extended periods. As for sound quality, these impress, especially for open earbuds. Dolby Audio is a new addition from the original version and works fairly well, though I still find that voices or instruments sometimes fade in and out strangely when it’s enabled. I believe this will be addressed in future firmware updates, so I’m not overly concerned. While Dolby Audio widens the soundstage and is nice for watching movies, I generally turn this feature off for music and most other audio to retain the original source sound. Bass is very well-defined, and highs and mids are crisp, clear, and never harsh, even at louder volumes. You won’t get any noise isolation or cancellation with these, but when turned up more than halfway, some softer outside noises are decently muffled. However, sounds like a car horn or alarm will always break through, which is the intended design. These earbuds are a great option for people who want to be aware of their surroundings while listening to music, podcasts, or even office meetings. The sound quality is a step above the bone conduction type of headphones that Shokz is known for, which is a welcome improvement. Touch controls are available, but I prefer to use the physical buttons to play/pause, skip, and adjust volume. Although I generally dislike touch controls, these do seem to work decently. Connectivity is incredible. With multipoint pairing, these are excellent for office use. I have them paired with my iPhone and my MacBook, and they effortlessly switch between sources. I can listen to an audiobook on my phone, pause it, and then seamlessly join a Teams meeting on my laptop without any manual intervention. The microphone is also good, and everyone can hear me very clearly during my meetings. Battery life is exceptional at 11+ hours, even with the addition of Dolby Audio, and Shokz finally incorporated wireless charging into the carrying case! This was the one feature that was sorely missing on the OpenFit 2, and I’m very happy to see included in this upgraded version. The case will charge your headphones several times, offering a total of over 48 hours of battery life before you need to charge the case and earbuds. Pros: Comfortable to wear for long periods Open-ear design allows you to hear your surroundings Great audio quality and Dolby spatial audio is a welcome addition Long battery life USB-C and wireless charging Multipoint connectivity works incredibly well Cons: Can be difficult to hear in noisier environments Sound quality isn’t going to be on par with closed earbuds or over-the-ear headphones Dolby audio still seems a bit buggy and needs some tweaking before I'd consistently use it Overall: The OpenFit 2+ are a smart choice for open-ear, true wireless earbuds and have really impressed me. These are for people who want to remain aware of their surroundings and do not isolate or cancel noise very well, but that’s what you expect when you get these. The OpenFit 2+ may be the best open-ear earbuds I have ever used, and I recommend them without reservation.

Having used numerous earbuds/headphones, I'm pretty particular to your normal in-ear, or over-the-ear, variety. Way back in the Walkman days, you had the cheapo on the ear foam headphones that worked but were somewhat less desirable when it came to sound quality. As such, I never really paid any mind to over-the-ear earbuds as I assumed they wouldn't be that great in terms of sound quality. However, having the chance to use these for a bit, I think I was wrong in my previous assumptions. Most of the on-ear type headphones I've used all had the same issue; poor sound quality. I'm really a big fan of my Apple Airpods Pro and Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra headphones. Sound quality is great, phone quality is also great too and they just fit really well. These Shokz OpenFit 2+ were a bit of a 180 for me. I had used some "open" earbuds before but they just didn't sound well and the fit was quite bad. Really didn't have high hopes for these to be honest. BUT....having used them for the past few days now, I'm really impressed with these. Since these loop over your earlobe, the fit took a bit getting used to. I usually prefer the normal in-ear earbuds so these just felt a bit different to me. Not bad fitting, just different. But, once I got these paired and started playing some music, WOW, really impressed. The sound quality isn't muddled nor is it over saturating. You can easily hear your music, quite well too I might add, as well as background noises. Both are blended quite well without one overpowering the other. If you're the type that blasts your headphones then it might be an issue for you. With the companion app, you get your typical EQ adjustments which I found quite helpful. I listen to EDM mostly so I usually have a bass boost on by default. The bass on these isn't quite great but it's good enough to where the music still sounds great. Along with the music, the phone sound quality is quite nice as well. With most, or a lot, of earbud/headphones these days, it's all about noise cancellation to help you enjoy the music. I know most of the manufacturers have settings that enable you to hear background noises as well. Which is great and really helpful but these Shokz earbuds do a great job as earbuds while still allowing you some spatial awareness. I think these are perfect either for the gym or if you're riding the subway where you kind of want to isolate yourself but still need some environmental awareness of your surroundings. Great pickup for earbuds as sound quality is quite good and fitment is excellent as well. Really like having the option to just grab these for specific use cases whether it be at the gym or riding the subway and not having to fiddle around with settings to allow ANC or pass through usage.

As a committed headphone collector, I’m always on the hunt for new audio tech to try out, especially earbuds. I practically have earbuds in all the time, whether I’m listening to music, podcasts, or audiobooks while on the move. I've tried open-style earbuds before, and I was honestly not a fan. The audio quality was always lacking, the fit was never right for me, and worst of all, the audio leakage was a major issue. I’m incredibly sensitive to people playing audio out loud in shared spaces, so I’m equally sensitive about my own behavior. These Shokz OpenFit2+ earbuds have completely changed my mind, and they represent huge advances in every one of those categories. The audio quality is truly impressive—the low range is especially sonorous and pleasant, which is something I haven't experienced in this style before. Crucially, they do this without any noticeable audio leakage. At the same volume, they're about as easy to overhear as my Pixel Buds Pro, which is a massive win for me. They also deliver on the core promise of an open-ear design: allowing me to be more reactive to my surroundings. I’ve tried the pass-through sound function on a lot of noise-canceling headphones, and while those are good for their purpose, nothing truly compares to the natural feel of an open-ear design. Obviously, you're sacrificing noise cancellation, so it's not a direct comparison, but the ability to stay fully aware of my environment is unmatched. Another impressive aspect is the physical design. My wife has been looking for open-ear headphones for hiking, and although we have very different ear sizes and shapes, these earbuds fit us both comfortably. They rest differently on our ears, but the audio quality and other functions seem completely unaffected, which is a testament to their adaptable design. Now for a couple of small detractions. The over-ear loop took some getting used to with my glasses and sunglasses. It’s not a problem about 90% of the time, but with more vigorous movements like jumping, they do feel less secure when I have my glasses on. Also, the Shokz app doesn't provide a lot of additional value beyond managing multiple devices. I couldn't detect a meaningful difference between the EQ presets, and the other features feel a bit bloated and unnecessary. But these are quibbles in the overall performance. I love these things. Highly recommended.

I'm older and have been through so many earbuds and headphones, it's ridiculous. And throughout the years, I've always been on the lookout for the perfect gym earbuds because that is my main use for earbuds. I like headphones for travel, portable speakers for relaxing outdoors and earbuds for gym and working around the house. So, I have so many products, I feel I know what works and what doesn't. The Shokz have features that I really love and you can't find on most earbuds today which is a physical button on the uniit. The physical button can be used to play/pause, fast forward and volume. Perfect. But it also has a touch feature on the side which calls up your choice of voice asssitance. Again, perfect. The design is also very good. Open ear with a hook makes these earbuds so comfortable to wear for hours and it really stays in place, with a caveat though. Sound is good but lacks bass and that's the problem I have with these earbuds. Now, it's not the fault of the earbuds because of the open ear design. When I'm at the gym, I love all types of music, just depends on my mood. But having a good bass is something I require. Also, when you do quick movements, the earbuds shifts constantly so I'm always adjusting the earbuds which annoys me. Battery life is good, case is a little bigger than other earbuds but mangeable. So the short. I would give these earbuds 5 stars for most use and 3 stars for gym use.

I’ve been using the Shokz OpenFit 2+ for a few weeks, and I’m genuinely impressed. The open-ear design is extremely comfortable — I can wear them for hours without any ear fatigue, and they stay secure even during workouts. The sound quality is clear and balanced, especially for open-ear headphones, with surprisingly rich bass. Bluetooth connection is stable, and switching between devices is effortless. I also love the awareness of surroundings — perfect for outdoor runs or working in shared spaces. Battery life easily lasts a full day, and the charging case feels sturdy and compact. The Stone Blue color looks stylish and premium. Overall, these are a great choice if you value comfort, safety, and solid sound without isolating yourself from your environment.

⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great comfort and amazing sound! I recently got the Shokz OpenFit, and I’m really impressed. The open-ear design is super comfortable — I can wear them for hours without any pressure or irritation. The sound quality is clear and balanced, with surprisingly good bass for an open-ear style. I also love how aware I stay of my surroundings, which makes them perfect for work, driving, or working out. The battery life is solid, and the Bluetooth connection is stable every time. Overall, they’re worth it — great mix of comfort, awareness, and premium sound quality. Definitely recommend!

I was really surprised by these earphones, The sound is fantastic and they are very comfortable to wear. They fit securely and don’t hurt even after wearing them for extended times. I use them mostly when doing projects or chores around the house and yard. Also great for hiking or walking. The battery life is excellent.

I love these earbuds. I have small ear canals so these are the first that I have had that are on the outside of my ear and are comfortable for all day wear. I only wear one earbud most of the time while listening to audio books, so I have situational awareness. There is enough volume and clarity so I don't have trouble understanding the book. Also, it is easy to turn them off when I need to stop to talk to someone. You also have complete freedom to answer all calls even if you are away from your phone. I have asked callers if they have difficulty understanding me and they say there is no difference between the earbuds or if I'm talking into my phone speaker directly. When the call is complete my book restarts automatically. I chose the black because I wanted them to be inconspicuous as they hide behind my hair. They are light, and they have never fallen out if I bend my head while gardening or doing housework. I repeat again, I love these and would buy them again.

These fit will with my eyeglasses. I've seen other reviews say the earbuds fit so good, they forget they're wearing them. I can't 100% agree with that. Even though I can feels them resting on my ear, the fit is comfortable and secure. I've tried dislodging them by vigorously shaking my head while wearing them and they stay securely on my ear. The sound is excellent for open earbuds. Key word is open. They are not noise cancelling which does allow ambient noise affecting sound quality. This does not bother me as I want to be aware of my surrounding while out riding my bike.

OpenFit 2+ sound is amazing, the clarity of the instruments, vocals, and there is now noticeable bass. This type of earphones usually struggle on the bass. The bass is subtle and it is more pronounced when you turn on Dolby Audio in the EQ application. It is also very comfortable to wear and have on for long periods of time because it just sits there on your ear and the earpiece just hovers over your ears. I usually have to take my earphones out with silicone types to decompress after some use, but these I never had to. The battery life is absolutely amazing, finally just charged it after using it for a few hours last week and still had some juice left. Calls has been clear with the people i spoke with on the other line, you the app gives you a option to turn on noise cancelation for calls. I tried it and the others has said they don't notice any difference, but that is only with a few calls I used it for. This Shokz OpenFit2+ surprised me beyond my expectations considering what I primary got it for, and thats to be able to still be able to hear my surroundings. It turned out to be my go to for earphones in general because how good it is. Shokz really nailed it with these and I definitely have my eyes on more of their earphones down the line to see how much more they can improve.

These are my first open-ear earbuds, and the experience has been excellent so far. They sit securely without going inside the ear canal, which makes them extremely comfortable for long listening sessions. I can still hear what’s happening around me while enjoying my music and videos. The sound is clear and well-balanced, especially vocals, and calls come through clean on both ends. Battery life easily gets me through a full day of casual use, and the charging case feels solid and compact. The Dolby Audio support adds a nice sense of depth without sounding artificial. Overall, these feel thoughtfully designed and practical for everyday use. I’m very satisfied with the performance and comfort and would recommend them to anyone looking for open-ear wireless earbuds.

I have owned these for a month. I got them on sale and wanted to try them out. I like the weight of these as you barely notice them even being over the ear. I have small ears so I have the issue of the left one not staying as secure on my ear. The Shokz - OpenFit Pro stay more secure for me. The sound quality is good for what I want them for, which is daily walking around as well as at the gym. I cannot run in them because as stated previously no matter how I adjust them, the left won't stay secure. They have good battery life in both the case and the buds. For my needs I like them so far. I would rate them higher if there was a way to secure the left one better. Obviously that's a personal issue and this may not be a problem for others.

The sound quality is extremely high. Excellent for sports. It doesn’t fall out of your ears. It doesn’t irritate the ear canal. The battery last a long time.

Love the Shokz OpenFit2+. One of the best open earbuds out there. They are incredibly comfortable that I forget I’m wearing them. Music is clear, answering calls with a touch of a button makes it easy to speak and hear the other person. They’re easy to set up without having the app. Uploading the app will give you access to Dolby Audio options, Find My Earbuds, battery levels and so on… What I look for: - They have to be comfortable; I can wear these for hours - Sound, especially for open-ear earbuds is excellent - Great battery life - Easy connectivity - 2 year warranty a plus

Light weight with a great battery. Great for situations that you still need to hear your surroundings. Very comfortable with a great sound.

I absolutely love these! I can't wear normal earbuds for more than a few minutes without them hurting. Since these don't go into the canal they are perfect! I don't feel like I am sacrificing sound quality like with other open earbuds. They are light and don't feel like they are going to fall out when I move around. I love that I can listen to music while still being able to hear my surroundings. My only complaint is my ears do get a little sore after wearing them all day. Other than that they are amazing. Also the blue is really pretty!

I went into the Best Buy Willow brook location to look for a good quality Bluetooth. I was immediately approached by a young lady who was of great help. After listening to several earbuds I decided to go with Shokz- Open fit. They are comfortable and fit on the outside of the ear. Very light and comfortable to wear.

The Shox OpenFit two Plus nails workouts with its adjustable hooks that lock in during sprints and burpees. Crisper highs and better noise cancelation make music pop, even in noisy gyms, with a hefty battery life—around thirty hours with the case, plus faster charging. They're sweat-proof at IP sixty-seven, so no worries about intense sessions. Only downside? The case is a bit bulky. Still, awesome pick for staying focused!

Exactly what I have always needed! Ear buds never seem it fit my ears right and end up hurting. These are so comfortable and stay in place. They sound crystal clear and I like that you can change the tone with the app! Highly recommend!

Very comfortable over the years. Sound quality is excellent! What surprise me the most was the battery life. Also they recharge super quickly. I’m very happy with this purchase!
