Customer Ratings & Reviews

PROS: * Comfort (these are truly the most comfortable, lightweight headphones that I've used) * Battery life (around 50 hours, give or take) * Water resistant * Capable app and EQ SO SO: * Sound can be better (but limited for the type of buds these are) * Price ($200 for one of the best workout buds you can buy) CONS: * I wish they had ANC for music, but again, it's hard for this type of around the ear buds that don't actually insert into your ear canal) I've been a devoted fan of earbuds for as long as I can remember, trying out virtually every pair on the market, from budget-friendly options to high-end models that appeal to audiophiles. Lately, I've been using the Noble Fokus Rex5 for my music needs. However, I recently encountered a few issues while running; they tend to slip out and risk hitting the ground. Luckily, I've managed to avoid scratching them so far, but it's been a close call. That's when I stumbled upon the Shokz OpenFit 2+. These arrived just in time! They fit securely over the ear and don't go into the ear canal, making them more comfortable than any other earbuds I've tried. Plus, they're incredibly lightweight—I hardly notice them. They deliver impressive sound quality while prioritizing comfort and safety, allowing me to fully enjoy my runs without any worries. I don't have any experience with Shokz's previous Openfit generation, but reviews for those criticize the sound. It's tough to expect them to sound the same as "in-ear buds", but even with that known, it seems that the previous generation lacked in the sound department. To my surprise, these sound great. I was very surprised by the sound, especially coming from the Nobles. Some may think Dolby Audio is a gimmick, but it isn't. If anything, its inclusion creates a clearer sound than you'd expect from these. The sound signature can be described as well-balanced with notable treble highlights. While the resolution of the treble may not be the highest quality, it makes these a good buy if you're looking at specifically comfort, fit, and use when working out. Additionally, the bass is surprisingly good. It won't knock your socks off, obviously. Generally, these types of workout earbuds have very weak or distorted bass. This one doesn't have either. It has clear bass output. The EQ modes are "standard," "vocal," "treble boost," "bass boost," or "customize." For the most part, when I'm working out, I listen to hip-hop, and therefore, I chose the "bass boost" as my go-to setting. For podcasts, I switch over to "vocal." I haven't tried many phone calls on them, but the time I did receive a call while on a run, I stopped and was able to talk for a few minutes without an issue. There is a "microphone noise cancellation during calls" feature, which isn't automatically turned on in the settings. If you plan to use these for calls, toggle that on when setting it up in the app. The app is both straightforward and effective in helping you customize it to suit your specific needs or preferences. You can easily adjust the EQ, personalize the controls, locate your earbuds, and upgrade the firmware. Everything is organized in a user-friendly and straightforward way. For at-home use or just relaxing, listening to your music, I wouldn't suggest these when there are several others out there that will sound better. Still, suppose you're looking for a place to work out specifically, whether that's cardio, gym, or outside walking. In that case, these are about as great as you're going to get at this price range. For $200, you get some comfortable earbuds that won't fall out, and you can "throw around a bit." These are IP-rated, so you don't have to worry about sweat, rain, or dust while working out. The battery is exceptional as well. In fact, after a few weeks of intermittent use, I've only had to charge them a few times. After more serious tracking, it will last around 50 hours! Obviously, that's more than enough for using every time you work out.

The sound is so good that when you are inside, you feel like you're outside

Best wireless headset I've ever owned. Great sound quality and comfortable to wear all day.

Love the way they work. A little quirky trying to connect to my computer, but with persistence, got it to connect. My previous headset, Aftershokz, never had a problem connecting, so this was confusing.... I absolutely love the new smaller size option!!!! Fits perfectly and works great with my phone/music and has very good noise cancellation for those on the other end of the call.

This is my second (upgraded) pair...LOVE that the control button is soooo much more functional than previous models! Super comfy, can wear all day, great sound and battery life!

Great hesdphone, love shokz products, love that the case is wireless charging also, found out the blue ones are best buy exclusive

I am very happy with my EarPods they are the best and very comfortable

It is a very attractive product for me. I like them so much that I always recommend them to everyone around me who bought the product after I showed them how it works. Now I bought the mini model and I love it more because they fit me better.

Okay, let’s be honest – I’ve been a pretty serious audio nerd for a while now, and I’ve spent a lot of time testing earbuds. Lately, I’ve been obsessed with finding the *perfect* listening experience, and the Shokz OpenFit2+ have quickly become one of my favorites. They’re not just earbuds, they’re a little piece of audio bliss. **Design & Comfort – Seriously, It Feels Good!** I’m a bit of a maximalist, so I appreciate a lot of detail, and these earbuds are seriously impressive. The OpenFit2+ are incredibly comfortable – I can wear them for hours without my ears feeling like they’re about to explode. The soft, rounded ear clip fit snugly without feeling tight, and the minimalist design is actually really stylish – it’s a refreshing change from some of the more bulky earbuds on the market. Seriously, I’ve been wearing these all day, and they feel fantastic. **Battery Life & Connectivity – Reliable and Easy** Battery life is a huge win for me. I can easily get through a full day of listening – 6-8 hours is plenty until they need to be charged. The case is a really clever design – it’s not just a box; it's a stylish and functional accessory. And the ability to charge the earbuds via the cable *and* wireless charging is brilliant. It’s a really thoughtful touch. The Bluetooth pairing is also incredibly smooth and quick. It took me less than a second to connect to my phone. **Sound Quality – It’s a Bit of a Warm Hug** Okay, this is where things get *really* good. The sound is just… great. The treble is incredibly clear and crisp, making music feel vibrant and full. The bass is rich and deep, but it doesn’t feel muddy or overpowering. It's a *really* balanced sound, and it’s genuinely enjoyable to listen to – even complex tracks. The EQ included in the smartphone app is very useful to adjust the sound to your liking. Note that these are not noise cancelling. **Potential Drawbacks – Things that could be better** Now, for the minor thing – the sound can get a *little* saturated at high volumes. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s something to be aware of if you’re listening to anything super bass-heavy. There are button on the earbuds which are a bit difficult to use while wearing them, but that's really just a minor flaw. **Price – It’s a Solid Investment** Honestly, the price is a bit on the higher side. But, for me, the combination of comfort, sound quality, and the convenience of the features makes these earbuds worth the splurge. **Overall Verdict – A Solid Recommendation** The Shokz OpenFit2+ earbuds are a fantastic choice if you’re looking for a good audio experience that’s comfortable, stylish, and delivers a truly enjoyable listening experience. They've become a go-to for me, and I’m genuinely excited to see where Shokz takes things.

These are the best headphones i have ever bought. I have problems with ear buds staying in my ears especially at work, and these fit snuggly and I do not have fidget with them all day to make them stay on my head. Definitely worth it.

As I age my hearing is not what it used to be. But this Bone Conduction headset mitigates that fact. Also, my ears must be shaped funny, because although I've tried literally every brand earbuds, not a single brand will stay in my ears as I'm working outside. This design resolves that issue. So thus far, I'm a huge fan of this headset.

These are still the best available, but they were better at one time the chipset interacted with my phone better in the original sets with that said i can say these fit better on my head. So give up tech for fit but still haven't found any better.

So far i like them. I actually was going to buy a headset for my phone. They didn't have the ones i wanted so i opted for these. I'm glad i did. They don't go in the ears and feel real comfortable.

The Shokz OpenFit 2+ open-ear true wireless earbuds are fantastic and are my new go-to pair of earbuds for music, audiobooks, and working out. - Setup: Pairing was quick and easy. When you open the charging case for the first time the earbuds enter pairing mode. The indicator on the case flashes between orange and green as confirmation. If for whatever reason you decide to pair them later, you will need to place the earbuds back into the charging case and press/hold the small circle button on the charging case for 3 seconds to reenter pairing mode. Select the earbuds in the Bluetooth section of your device and connect. - App: The Shokz app offers several additional options including Dolby Audio, various EQ modes including a custom option, MultiPoint pairing, customizable button controls, and microphone noise cancellation. I really like the MultiPoint pairing ability as I can quickly change between my phone and laptop without needing to unpair from one and pair to the other. Simply pause the playback on one device and press play on the new device to transfer between them. - Case and battery life: The earbuds have a reported 11-hour battery life with up to 48 hours of total playback utilizing the wireless charging case. The case has a fast charge ability allowing for 2 hours of additional playback time after only 10 minutes of charging. I use these earbuds every day and between the long earbud battery life and the ability to fast charge with the wireless charging case I have no concerns about battery life. - Comfort: The earbuds are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Unlike some of my other earbuds, these are super lightweight, remain secure on my ears, and I hardly notice them. They are made of a soft silicone and feel great hooked over the top of each ear. - Buttons: These have both physical and touch buttons. The physical buttons can be customized for click, double click, triple click, and long press. Various options for the physical buttons include play/pause, next/previous, and increase/decrease volume. There is, unfortunately, no way to have them mute your microphone during calls which would be nice. Hopefully it can be addressed in a firmware update. The touch button can only be programmed for long press and will activate voice assistant. - Warranty – It has a 2-year manufacturer warranty which is respectable. My final thoughts about the Shokz OpenFit 2+ earbuds – They check all the boxes and are a premium product. I highly recommend.

Wow ! I’ve never enjoyed my running the way I’m enjoying it now with Open run pro, very light and you don’t even feel like you are wearing headphones, if you are a runner you should try it . I love it !

Fit nice and sound great. The headphones don’t move around while running, which is when I primarily use them. Single button control is very nice.

Very good b. The best earphones. ✌️

Best headphones for busy people! (FYI the mini's are most comfortable)

Super helpful service and great headphones love this brand.

I had high hopes after spending months reading reviews. Still would recommend! But suggest wearing both earpieces.
