Customer Ratings & Reviews

Don’t look anywhere else! The Shokz probably are the best you can get around, they are ahead of the competition.

Service was great,I love Best Buy,outstanding products and great people

Great Sound. Ear piece is flimsy broke one trying to set it in my ear

This product has been excellent! Well worth the money!

I love these things my ONLY complaint only lies with the style of headphones. If the sound around you is loud . Let's say a mower, you won't be hearing your music

Good earbuds, definitely takes some getting used to and the style is not for everyone.

The comfort level on theses earbuds are amazing, they fit over the ear with the sound piece on the outer ear providing great sound and comfort,

If you're looking for a great earbud, look no further. Excellent quality.

I loved the first pair, but these are even better. Highly recommended.

Awesome!!! Wow, i love the new look plus the changes to the buttons.

What’s not to like. They work perfectly, no complaints.

After figuring it out. It proved to be what we were looking for

There great ! I love’ em . I never give anything 5 starz .

Was ok but had trouble wearing them with my glasses

Massive improvement over first gen version love the physical button added

Among the best I have ever experienced in my life!

Work great! But wish they had a find me option. Have lost a case and now one earpiece.

These headphones are great but the speakers blow pretty easily. Be careful with these!

Shokz has long been a proponent of open ear designs, and have offered an alternative to their bone conduction line of headphones with an earbud line called OpenFit. They have iterated these to the new OpenFit 2. Do these open earbuds work well in a crowded market? Let’s take a look and find out! Inside the 100% recyclable box are the earbuds, a case, some documentation, and a very short USB-C to USB-C charging cable. The case is a thin clamshell design with a magnetic closure. The earbuds are secured with a good strong magnetic connection that has just the right amount of strength to guide the earbuds into place but also make removal easy. The earbuds look and feel very high quality. Metallic finishes and soft silicone ear hooks make these look clean and are incredibly comfortable to wear. Each earbud has a single physical button, along with a touch sensitive area. There is no wireless charging for the case, it just charges over USB-C. The case also has a single button that when pressed and held will start paring so you can connect to another device. Opening the case the first time starts the paring process right away, and the earbuds pair immediately to whatever device you want to pair them to. Paring them to a phone is an easy process, but I also found that they pair very well to a Windows PC. They pair very quickly and reliably, more so than a pair of AirPods that I have also paired to the PC. Audio quality is very good for an open earbud design. Overall, I think my AirPod Pro 2s are a touch better, but that is due to the closed fit design and active noise cancellation. But that is kind of the opposite of the point of these earbuds. The OpenFit 2 are designed with awareness as a feature, sitting outside of the ear and leaving you aware of your surroundings with a secure fit that is very comfortable, and with those goals in mind, these earbuds really excel. Since they are physically larger than in-ear designed ear buds with the battery in the back of the ear hook, they have a huge battery life as an added bonus. You might be wondering about sound leakage for both your audio or a phone call or video chat, which Shokz addresses with their DirectPitch technology. This technology is like active noise cancellation in reverse. Instead of cancelling ambient noise in toward the listener, it cancels the sounds the earbuds make as sound travels out away from the listener. I did some testing with this and sure enough, as soon as you are out of the “sweet spot” with the earbud in your ear, the sound just kind of vanished. At anything but an extremely close distance you can’t hear it or make out what is being played or said at all. With their long battery life, comfortable fit, clear microphones, and open ear design, these earbuds make a great device for video calls. My only wish is that you could set up either the physical button or the touch area to mute and un-mute the mic. This would make them into incredible earbuds for video calls, but even without that feature, they are really good for use as a communications device. Maybe a future firmware update will add this option. With a higher price point in a crowded field, who are these for? In an Apple ecosystem, they don’t have the features of the AirPod 4th Gen (especially the model with ANC) or the benchmark standard of the AirPods Pro 2. What they do offer is incredible battery life and exceptional comfort, along with a high degree of situational awareness. For bikers, runners, or other athletes, these are an excellent option as they are very secure and allow you to still be very aware of what is going on around you. They are also really great as an option for spending days on video calls. If those features appeal to you, then these are an excellent sounding option you should consider.

These didn't cut it for me, the sound quality was mediocre. I know a lot of people love the Shokz, but for me personally they're a bit more of a gimmick. I can't get behind them.
