Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

The mini fits my head size nearly perfectly. Mice6o erall design. Have confirmed waterproof capabilities and extended battery life. Decent sound quality overall. However, it develops a much better dynamic range when cupping ones hands over the ear, or whe wearing a set of hearing protection over the ear type headphones. It is easy to sleep with these phones in place, unlike either in-ear, or over ear option have tried. I dislike that there is not enough volume for about 40%-50% of the time I wear the, which is quite irritating, considering the purchase price. There should be an option to add additional volume capabilities in some way, whether a paid upgrade, or (preferably) standard feature.

⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 went into Best Buy hoping these were in the store to see how they fit on my head. I had a bone-conducting headphone before and it just didn't produce a great sound and wasn't comfortable on my head. THESE ARE EXCELLENT! I got the 2+ because they had the dolby audio. These still allow me to hear my environment around me while walking, but provide a great sound experience. They easily go 10 hours on a charge. I also like they are instant on/off...you don't need to switch them on. Put them on your ears and they are ready. So...if you don't like the pinching of the bone-conducting headphones, this is your answer.

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.

Excellent sound quality and comfortable to wear. Battery lasts long and Bluetooth connects easily.”

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.

I had the Bose open ear buds and I loved the look, but they kept falling out and I eventually lost both pieces. These are comfortable, stay put, and callers say they can hear me better. The only reason I have 4 stars is because I feel it sounds a little weird to me when I’m on a call. But that could be that I’m not messing with the speaker settings properly. So it could possibly be a 5 star if I can figure that out

This has to be the best pair of earbuds on the market. I was worried because I wear glasses, but I sometimes cannot tell they are on my ears. They are very lightweight, and the best part is that I cannot tolerate anything in my ears, and well, they do not go into the ear, and the sound is great. I am on my second pair, and I convinced my wife to switch from her other brands to this one as well. My only wish was that somehow they could track them. I lost one while taking a hoodie off. I couldn't tell I had them on and never noticed them missing either.

Shokz OpenRun Pro Headphones are easy to operate, with a quick charge. It is lightweight. I like the open ear design with a secure fit. It has clear calls and 10 hours of music. I highly recommend it.

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 been using these for the past three months and they are the best earbuds for working out I have ever used. They don't fall off when bending over, running, jumping etc. My husband accidentally washed them w/ the case and they still work just fine. They are sweat proof and the material is easily cleaned. They are so comfortable I forget they are on, battery life is excellent. For what I use them for they are perfect. I have another pair of headphones that have slightly better sound quality but these are better in every other way.

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.

I recently purchased the SHOKZ HEADSET from Best Buy, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations! The sound quality is fantastic – whether I'm on calls or enjoying music, the clarity is impressive. What sets this headset apart is its exceptional performance even in noisy environments. With small children around, the background chatter doesn't interfere, and my family hears me crystal clear. One of the standout features for me is the comfort. As a parent, I appreciate that it's not an inner ear piece; instead, it's a comfortable headpiece. I often find myself misplacing small items, so having a headset that stays securely on my head is a game-changer. Plus, it conveniently hides under my hair, giving me the freedom to multitask without worrying about constantly readjusting it. In addition to its functionality, the design is sleek and modern. The SHOKZ HEADSET is not only a practical choice but also a stylish accessory. Overall, I highly recommend this headset for its outstanding sound quality, comfort, and practicality. It's a must-have for anyone who values a reliable and comfortable audio experience.

Fantastic open ear buds, since the speaker sits directly over my ear canal, can still hear them really well, easy to be able to turn up the volume and hear music, movies, etc over your environmental surroundings, long batter and they don't come off your ear, best open ear buds I've had, better than shockz open run pro 2 mini

These are perfect for staying aware of your surroundings while still enjoying music or calls. Very lightweight and comfortable, especially during workouts or long wear. Sound quality is surprisingly good for open-ear earbuds, and connectivity has been seamless.

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.
