I had to replace my LG Platinum with Shokz and now I'm loving them. They are very comfortable I've accidentally jumped in the shower with them on and they still work.

I can't say enough good things about these earbuds. The sound is wonderful every time. I have to admit that I use them mostly for talking on the phone so I can be hands free and they are so very comfortable that I usually forget that I have them on. I have to be careful not to get in the shower or pool with them on, although they are supposed to be waterproof. My ears never sweat with them on and they have never once fallen off. These are a must if you're looking for earbuds. There is no comparison to my old Samsung earbuds that still work great, they are just a bother to use.

Not quite as secure as I was hoping, could just be my big ears, but overall good sound quality and excellent for running/daily life if you want to be aware of your surroundings and if your ears get irritated by in-ear earbuds like mine. The call quality also surprisingly good.

Excellent product, doesn’t go inside your ears but still get amazing base and treble! This is the $179 version and there’s a $119 version which is good but not as good when it comes to bass.

I use 8+ hrs every day and can confirm battery life is as advertised. Sounds is good for being an out of ear bud but could be better. I like that they don’t make ears sore even after long use.

Honestly, I love these. I've used aftershokz aeropex as my daily headphones for a very long time and they are great for what they are, but they bone conduction has some disadvantages for sure. I have tried a bunch of very cheap soundpeats clip on and open ear headphones, as well as several anker open ear options off amazon and nothing was quite right. The shokz openfit 2 actually fit just about perfect, even though both my ears are large and very differently shaped they are comfortable and wearable with shades and a hat very easily, and pretty easy to forget you are wearing.
Where my issues come up is that the sound is not significantly better than many other cheap open ear solutions, or even business comm headsets like my plantronics voyager. It's acceptable. The multipoint pairing works, but it's a little janky, starting late and lagging terribly on PC. I know they are bluetooth and not low latency but for 180$ they should be. They just absolutely should be. Additionally, many cheaper headphones offer wireless charging in the case, and power share with phones that have wireless charging and power share. Why don't these? Obviously ANC isn't really something you need with open ear, but that's included with airpods at the same price, as well as powershare. I'm not an apple fan, but I feel like if you can't beat apple's feature set at the same price point, you've failed consumers.
Additionally, the app does not render correctly on my fold 5 when opened, and has spelling errors in the pop up messages. Again, for a 180$ set of open ear buds, this is baffling.
So while I love how these fit and I will keep them, I feel like the right price for this feature set is 99$, especially when compared to many other offerings and the best thing these offer to me is comfort, but many others were nearly as comfortable. I feel like I overpaid I feel like they are out of range for what folks should be paying for these features and at a minimum at the price they are charging they should offer power share and wireless charging, an ultra low latency mode (toggleable in app as it'd likely have a battery cost, especially with multipoint) and ideally better multipoint experience overall with smart switching between audio sources, and options. for me I want to hear music on my phone until PC audio starts - then when it stops, I'd like the phone music to resume. That's like, top usage for multipoint, so why does it pause?
I would wait for a sale or black friday for these, or if the physical button isn't important to you consider the gen1 of the product for 129.

Shokz: My New Favorites!!!

I have always been a connoisseur of headphones! I mean, I love them. I have had some bad ones, mediocre ones, and a few that I find myself grabbing every time I head out the door. I am adding the Shokz OpenFit 2 to that list!
First, they are the most comfortable headphones I have ever used! Not having that nagging discomfort of in ear headphones after an hour or so of using them is so freeing!
Second…the sound is absolutely phenomenal. I cannot believe I can have this sound quality with open ear headphones and the trifecta…
Third… They stay put!
Back to the comfort, they are lightweight, the case fits into my pocket with ease and has a very low profile. The case secures the earphones with a nice magnetic click and charges them. On the ear, Shokz has found the perfect balance between being secure to keep them on my ear and loose enough that I don’t feel them digging into my ear. When I say snug, I have run 8-minute miles in them and they stay right where I need them to. To be fair, I am not sure I would use them for basketball due to potential contact but for yoga, running and even tennis…AMAZING! I can even lay in bed with them on and I am a stomach sleeper…yes I can lay my head to the right or left and they stay on. Not always perfect but way better and more comfortable than other headphones I have used to date.
Back to the Sound, It’s funny… when I first got them out of the case I popped them on and thought…”Ok, the sound is good but I expected more”…WELL turns out there was a fine plastic sticker that covered the headphones and even with that I thought they were ok!!! When I removed the fine protective sticker from the speaker…WOW! The rich sound, clear and sharp! The base is a little lower than I like but that is one of the trade-offs for over-the-ear versus in-the-ear in my opinion. It’s a small trade-off though. The base is solid. Podcasts sound amazing. The voices sound like they are in the room with me!
The drawbacks???? Small gripes really, I wish the case had wireless Qi charging. It’s usb C and charges really fast but dropping them on a Qi wireless charging pad would be nice. The battery life is also phenomenal.
Overall I needed these in my earphone lineup! The traditional Shokz tandem earphones that wrapped around the neck was a turn-off for me, but the OpenFit 2 look really sharp! Sometimes I love to disappear in noise cancelling headphones, big over the ear melt into a couch kind. Sometimes I need that in a more portable noise-reducing mow the grass kind of in-ear headphones…BUT Sometimes…I want to exercise, do chores around the house and need to have situational awareness and I can just listen to awesome music or podcasts and actually forget I am wearing headphones….That’s what Shokz OpenFit 2 gives me…Comfort with amazing sound! I really love them! My new Favorite! Outstanding tech!!!!

I love all things related to earbuds and headphones, and I typically rotate between different brands and styles. I’ve always wanted to try Shokz products because I have friends who have used them for running and cycling. The idea of staying aware of my surroundings while listening to audio is appealing to me. Even with my other earbuds and headphones, I usually keep transparency mode on so I can hear what's going on around me. So, when I had the opportunity to try the Shokz OpenFit 2 earbuds, I knew I had to give them a go. I’m genuinely impressed with them.
The last time I tried ‘open’ concept earbuds was with the latest and an older model from Bose. I can honestly say that these Shokz earbuds are on par with, if not slightly better than, those models.
The comfort is outstanding. I’ve been using these earbuds consistently for the past week, leaving them on for hours without even noticing. As someone who wears glasses, I was initially worried that the part that loops around the ear might pinch, but it was never an issue. In fact, over the holiday break, I put them on one morning around 8:30 AM and took them off around 1 PM, and during that entire time, I felt no ear fatigue or discomfort.
Another point I love is the incredible battery life. During my lengthy listening session from 8:30 AM to 1 PM, the battery still had 60% left when I took them off. You could easily use these all day, thanks to the battery life and comfortable fit.
I use these earbuds for all kinds of media—music, podcasts, audiobooks, videos, and movies—and everything sounds fantastic. The bass is nice and punchy, although not as pronounced as some in-ear models, but much better than I expected. The highs and mids are clear and crisp. While watching a few shows, I even had to pause the video at times because I thought the sounds were coming from around me, but it was actually from the OpenFit 2. With other ‘open’ type earbuds, I often need to crank up the volume, but not with these. I keep the volume between 30% and 50%, and everything sounds clear. I can still hear audiobooks clearly when I’m out and about.
The controls are quite straightforward, with a button on each earbud. You can hold down the right one to increase volume and the left one to lower it. Play, pause, and skip controls are also included. I had some trouble getting the app to connect, which may need an update, but the instructions indicate that it will allow for control customization and multipairing in the future. For now, I can only connect to one device at a time and need to disconnect from one to connect to another. I’m hopeful that the app update will address this.
I’ve also taken these on a couple of runs, and not once did I feel like I might lose them. With some of my other earbuds, I often fidget to make sure they don't slide out. During my runs, I cross wooden bridges and worry about them falling into the water, but these stay securely in place without any movement. There was no need to adjust them for the best sound or fit. They are both extremely comfortable and secure and again, regarding battery life, you can easily use these for extended training or long runs without fear of the battery running out.
I absolutely love these Shokz earbuds. They've quickly become my go-to choice over my previously owned brands like Samsung, Apple, Bose, and Beats. They offer great comfort, long battery life, and impressive sound quality. I look forward to the app update for further customization and multipairing features. I cannot recommend these enough!
