Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great product very comfortable Long battery charge

When I first got my hands on the Shokz OpenFit 2 earbuds, I was pumped to see how they compared to other in-ear buds I have daily driven for the past couple of years. As an avid outdoor runner, these looked like they would be perfect and they did not disappoint. Right out of the box, the OpenFit2 earbuds look and feel premium. They're extremely lightweight, where at times I would completely forget I was even wearing them, and the soft silicone coating gives them a comfortable and sturdy feel. Unlike in-ear earbuds that go into your ear canal, these rest gently outside your ears and that little flap. I won't lie at first, I was a tad skeptical about how secure they’d feel, but once I put them on, they stayed firmly in place even when using them for lifting and doing yoga. The open-ear design is great for staying aware of your surroundings, which is crucial for outdoor activities like running, walks or cycling. When it comes to sound quality, I was very surprised. Open-ear designs often struggle with bass and overall richness, but the OpenFit2 delivered a balanced sound profile. The highs are clear, the mids are balanced, and the bass, while not as deep as closed-earbuds, is impressive for this type of design. Watching videos and listening to podcasts felt natural, and music had a surprisingly full sound. The call quality of these are acceptable. The dual noise-canceling microphones work well, ensuring the person on the other end can hear me clearly, even when I’m in a slightly noisy environment. Pairing the earbuds with my devices was effortless. Just hold the pairing button inside the case and select them from your Bluetooth devices. I particularly enjoyed using these in my office, because normally with traditional closed-earbuds, I would only keep one in so I could hear my surroundings but with these I can work and listen to my podcasts while working and still be able to hear my surroundings. Battery life is always a dealbreaker for me, but the OpenFit2 exceeded my expectations. I easily got around 9–10 hours of playtime on a single charge, and the charging case added another two full charges. The quick-charge feature came in handy, giving me about 2 hours of use after just a 5-minute charge. With my old pair of in-ear buds, I would be lucky to get through to my lunch break without having to charge them and they easily got me through my whole work day and then threw them in the charging case and after work they are fully charged for my afternoon run. Despite all the positives, the OpenFit2 isn’t perfect. Since it’s an open-ear design, there is some sound leakage that is noticeable at higher volumes. If you’re in a quiet room or office, people around you might catch snippets of your music or podcast. Also, while the open-ear design is great for awareness, it obviously does struggle in noisy environments like a busy gym where I would have had to crank up the volume to drown out the background noise, which is expected. One little nitpick I have is its lack of volume control on the ear bud. I wish the bud had some sort of touch sensitive swipe that would allow you to control the volume without having to use your smart device. Pros Very comfortable for extended wear. Secure fit, even during physical activity. Clear, balanced sound for an open-ear design. Decent call quality with noise-canceling microphones. Long battery life with quick-charge capability. Cons Sound leakage at higher volumes. Struggles in very noisy environments. Bass isn’t as rich as in-ear or over-ear models. Overall, the Shokz OpenFit2 earbuds are a fantastic choice for anyone who enjoys outdoor activities and who also values comfort, situational awareness, and solid sound quality. These have definitely earned a spot in my daily rotation, especially for my outdoor runs and podcast listening while working in the office. If you’re okay with the trade-offs compared to traditional closed-ear bud designs, these earbuds are worth checking out.

Why I Love the Shokz OpenFit 2 1. **Light as air (9.4 g per bud)** Weighing just 9.4 g, these earbuds are feather‑light—you barely notice them, even during marathon-long wear. The Sil‑icone™ 2.0 ear‑hooks are soft and flexible, offering a secure yet comfy fit that never feels clumsy . 2. Sound that keeps you aware The open‑ear design preserves situational awareness—perfect for outdoor runs or commuting. Audio is crisp and balanced, with surprisingly punchy bass thanks to DualBoost’s dual‑driver setup. You can even fine-tune EQ settings (bass, treble, vocal, or custom) via the Shokz app . 3. Reliable controls + multipoint connectivity Physical buttons are a game-changer—easier to press than touch-sensitive controls, especially during sweaty workouts or when wearing gloves . They’re also now Bluetooth 5.4 compatible, with multipoint pairing so you can switch between phone and laptop seamlessly . 4. Marathon‑worthy battery life Up to 11 hours of continuous playback from the earbuds and a whopping 48 hours total with the charging case. A quick 5–10 minute charge instantly gives you 2 hours of juice—perfect for last‑minute sessions . 5. Built for action With an IP55 rating for sweat and dust, they’re rugged enough for outdoor workouts and unreliable weather . Strengths Comfort & Fit: Soft silicone hooks, featherweight design, stays put during dynamic movement . Audio Quality: DualBoost delivers fuller bass; EQ presets and custom EQ allow personalization . Controls: Physical buttons offer more precise and reliable operation. Battery & Connectivity: Impressive battery life and dual-device pairing for convenience. Minor Drawbacks Open‑ear nature: In noisy environments, audio clarity can suffer; podcasts may lack fullness compared to sealed earbuds . Sound leakage: At high volume, a little leaks to those nearby—something to watch out for in quiet settings . Lacking features: No wear-detection pause/play or “find-my” tracking for the case. Final Verdict The Shokz OpenFit 2 nails the open-ear headphone niche. They balance comfort, battery life, and control precision—even if their audio can't match sealed earbuds in noisy environments. For runners, bikers, commuters—or anyone who values awareness with their audio—they’re a spectacular pick. Just be mindful of volume in quiet spaces. If you're after top-tier noise isolation and booming bass, a pair of sealed in-ears might still be a better fit. But if you cherish hearing the world while enjoying great sound, the OpenFit 2 is a total win.

The Shokz Open Fit 2 are a great open-ear bud, especially for those that have a hard time finding the right size fit, or that just want to hear the outside world with their music. The Shokz Open Fit 2 are made of good quality inside and out. Each bud is made of a soft rubber mixed with what feels like a glossy metal. They don’t weigh too much at all and are evenly balanced to rest right on your ear. It’s rare that I can find a set of earbuds that don’t leave my ears aching after wearing them for a while, which is why I’m extremely impressed with how comfortable they are after long hours of use. The charging case that the buds rest in is a little smaller than a hockey puck, and they fit nicely and snug inside the case. The battery life on the buds is amazing! So far, I was able to listen to them for over 3 hours straight and I still had battery life left. The case itself can be charged with the included USB-C cable, which doesn’t take that long to charge fully. As for as the sound quality goes, this is where the Open Fit 2’s really shine! I couldn’t believe how rich and clear my music sounded through these, but my biggest surprise was how well the bass performed especially without them being outside my ear canal. The sound quality on these is very impressive, these offer great details in highs and mids, all while allowing you to still hear the outside world around you. I was skeptical at how the open ear tech would work in loud environments, so I took these to a loud construction site to see if I would still be able to hear music… I was amazed that not only could I hear them, but they sounded extremely clear. I even tried using these on phone calls, and they work great. I was able to hear the caller very loud and clear and vice versa. Overall, I am very impressed with The Shokz Open Fit 2 ear buds. I believe they are a great innovation in open earbuds. They’re extremely comfortable to wear, even for long periods of time, they sound really good, especially for being open earbuds. I would highly recommend these to anyone who needs to hear the outside world while also listening to music.

I recently got my hands on the Shokz OpenFit 2 Open-Ear True Wireless Earbuds, and they have completely transformed my listening experience! These earbuds are simply outstanding, earning every bit of a 10/10 rating. First off, the comfort level is remarkable. The open-ear design allows me to enjoy my music while still being aware of my surroundings, which is perfect for outdoor activities or commuting. I can wear them for hours without any discomfort—no more sore ears after long listening sessions! The sound quality is exceptional. The audio is crisp and clear, with a perfect balance of bass and treble. Whether I’m listening to podcasts, music, or taking calls, the clarity is impressive. I also appreciate the noise isolation that still lets me hear ambient sounds, making them ideal for exercising or walking in busy areas. Battery life is another highlight. I can easily get through an entire day of usage on a single charge, and the quick charging feature is a lifesaver. Just a short charging session provides hours of playback, which is incredibly convenient for someone always on the go. The connectivity is seamless. Pairing them with my devices was effortless, and they maintain a stable connection without any dropouts. Plus, the touch controls are intuitive and responsive, allowing me to manage calls and music with ease. Overall, the Shokz OpenFit 2 earbuds are a fantastic investment for anyone seeking quality and comfort in their audio experience. They beautifully combine functionality with a stylish design, making them a must-have accessory. If you want earbuds that offer an amazing blend of sound quality, comfort, and practicality, look no further than these!

The Shokz OpenFit 2 headphones are unique in what they offer and a really great option for a lot of people. I’ll outline the pros and cons and what I liked most about headphones in this review. The Shokz don’t go into your ears as much as they rest on them. They are very comfortable, bass is well-defined, highs and mids are also good. There is no noise isolation, but when turned up more than halfway some softer outside noises are muffled, however something like a car horn or alarm will always break through. These headphones are great for people that want to be aware of their surroundings while also listening to your music or podcasts. The sound quality is a step above the bone conduction type of headphones that Shokz is known for, which is welcomed. Pros: Comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I forget I have them on Open-ear design allows you to hear your surroundings Really decent sound quality Long battery life Easy to use USB-C Charging Cons: Can be difficult to hear in noisier environments While the bass is there, it’s definitely not as good as earbuds No wireless charging Overall: The Shokz OpenFit 2 are an excellent choice for people looking for a pair of truly wireless earbuds that let you stay present and aware of the outside world. These are not for people that want the best sound quality, noise cancellation or a bunch of bells and whistles. Be aware of what you’re getting and set your expectations accordingly. These do what they promise very well, reliably pair with my phone and are so comfortable that I forget I’m wearing them.

I was skeptical about these headphones based on the design, but I love them! They are so lightweight that you may forget you're wearing them. The fit is comfortable, and they sound great. Battery life is very good, and the case has its own battery for many, many hours on a single charge. They charge fast, and I have zero complaints about battery life. Bluetooth is fantastic and reconnects instantly if the connection is lost. I did a bit of jogging while wearing them and had no trouble with the fit. They stayed on my ears without bouncing around, and I could easily hear traffic sounds over the headphone content. I mostly listen to audiobooks or podcasts, but I did listen to some music, and the headphone volume was full and satisfying. The case is slim, light, and easily fits into your pocket. Overall, I am thrilled with these headphones. They are perfect for wearing all day and have a long-lasting battery to match. They are highly recommended if you want to wear headphones while staying open and alert to your surroundings.

THIS… Is the Shokz OpenFit 2, Shokz second generation of bud less, sport earbuds and honestly one of the most unique ‘earbuds’ I have ever tried on. Shokz makes some very unique headphone / audio products, so I knew I was in for a treat when I saw these. Ok, so what is so nifty about the OpenFit 2’s that any other earbuds aren’t? These earbuds do not enter your ear canal! These earbuds slip semi onto your ear canal / next to your tragus and shoot the sound down your ear canal to deliver sound… and it is pretty good at it! Ok so starting chronologically, opening these are just like any other earbuds until you take the case out…and this might be the lightest/slimmest case I have ever held. The case was small enough that it could fit into all of my running shorts/pants and light enough that I never noticed it was even there. The case, while still holding a good charge for the earbuds, was virtually unnoticeable in my runs or lifts which is fantastic to not have to feel the case pressed into my leg on a run. Once you take the earbuds out of the case, though, I only had one question… How the heck do I wear these? Where does the sound come from? And how do these even stay in your ear? It is super simple, you the straps / prongs slip over your ears tightly and you simply hold the earbud onto your ear/tragus area while it shoots audio down your ear canal. Now his is where my only setup problem occurred. For my wife and I, it felt like the earbud was going to perpetually fall out of our ear for the first little while since it doesn’t anchor into your ear canal. After a bit (an hour or so), it got better and eventually that sensation did go away permanently with time. What is awesome about the OpenFit 2’s is that they really feel secure during workouts, runs and in day to day life whereas my other in ear earbuds would either fall out or feel like they are about to fall out during my lifts and certainly during my runs. You also don’t have to fiddle with the earbuds tip size and the inevitable wax goblin that they create, which is always a nice +1! The OpenFit 2’s have quickly wedged themselves as my go to for workouts and running due to just how secure they feel. I think that the Shokz OpenFit 2’s are also fantastic for those that do not have normal ear canals, my brother has abnormally small ones and he really enjoyed the idea of not having to order a custom set for his earbuds to fit right. So although these are generally meant for sport, I really like the physical design and find that it makes earbuds more accessible for those with alternative anatomy that makes hearing difficult, and for those like my wife who hate the tipped earbuds. Something else that I really enjoyed about the ergonomics of the OpenFit 2, was that I was able to wear these while laying my head on a cushion or in bed without having to feel the bud press deeper into my ear. Now that we have covered all of the groundwork here… how do they sound? Well, the short answer is pretty good! Something I wanted to touch on first was just how interesting / unique the OpenShock 2’s sound… as they aren’t firing the sound directly into your ear but more ‘bouncing’ sound into your ears. This gives a really pleasant concert-esque sound that really just has to be tried to understand. It almost makes the music / podcast / video sound like it is actually coming from a larger speaker. Obviously, the counter to not having a physical bud that goes into your ear, there is no noise canceling. Passive or active, there is really no external sound dampening. That being said, erroneous sounds are only as bad as your environment, but there is no stopping them if they do exist outside of turning up the OpenFit 2’s. When you turn the volume up on these earbuds, apart from being not as loud as traditional earbuds, the OpenFit 2’s still retains a crip sound everywhere except bass. I am not sure if it is the lack of isolation, the way the sound has to enter the ear or the speaker drivers, but bass just doesn’t have that same thump as a true in ear earbud. Something interesting though, is that the thud of bass still thuds through the prongs/straps (whatever the technical term is) that wrap around your ears. I didn’t find the bass to be so lacking that it was a deal breaker… but something I certainly was able to notice as the volume was turned up. I really did love these when I was interacting with other people though, as it was so easy to hear my music and talk to someone at the same time without having to fiddle with my phone or my earbuds to turn the sound down or off. The OpenFit 2’s also have a physical play/pause button which is always a huge +1. The OpenFit 2’s do pretty well in most applications, but I found them to really excel when I was running as I didn’t hear myself breathing as much due to the lack of physical noise isolation. To wrap this up, I really can’t think of any complaints to bring forward! Battery life is so good that I don’t even think about it and I have dropped these enough to know if they were going to fall apart (team butterfingers). I think that I need to clarify a few things real quick though. Are these the best sounding earbuds? No, but they really don’t have to be. These are sport earbuds, and they are genuinely the best ‘sport’ or ‘athletic’ earbuds that I have ever used. The design of them is unique and takes some getting used to, but I have never had an earbud feel so secure on my ear while being active like these earbuds. Regardless, if it is casual listening around the house, or on a run, I found that the unique ergonomics really outweighed some of the downfalls regarding the lack of bass, but that's why I urge you to try the OpenFit 2’s and also what makes Best Buy awesome. You never have to worry about buying earbuds that you don’t like or that don't mesh with your flow! So there is no harm in testing if the Shokz OpenFit 2 is right for you. Until next time :)

Shokz is known for making their bone conducting headsets, where sound literally goes through the side of your head and your brain hears it, without having to stick the headphones into your ear canal. The Shokz Openfit 2 are a little different than the norm for them. In this case, these are U-shaped, and loop over your ear, and the speaker portion actually “hovers” over top of your ear canal. They call these “Open-Ear” earbuds. The advantage being, that not having an ear bud actually inside your ear, you can still hear your music or calls, but also be able to hear what’s going on around you, making it much safer when you are walking or jogging or just at home. The OpenFit 2 buds come in a nice rechargeable case, which allows enough charges to get up to 48 total hours of use before the case needs to be recharged via the included (short) USB-C cord. The light on the front will be red until they’re fully charged. When you open the case, the buds go into Bluetooth pairing mode and you can pair them to your phone at that point, or, long press the front button to force it into connect mode if you have to. Mine paired to my iPhone immediately and so far, I haven’t had them lose their connection at all while using them. These are made of a rubbery-ish type material (silicone) that feels solid but is comfortable over the ear. You just loop them over your ears, and position the bud head over your ear canal area, but not within it. A combination of tapping or tap/hold on the buttons will allow you to pause, forward, or go to the next track of music you’re listening to. These small buttons on the side next to the speaker allow you to receive calls or hang up from a call when done as well. Pressing on the side of the buds and holding will activate voice assistant but you need to activate that in the appropriate app. The speakers are on the same side (top when wearing) and the sound is much better than you’d expect given that they’re not in your ear, or their size. I think the sound is very rich and deep for what these are. Music and calls are clear. People on the other end of the call say I’m clear as well, and I only have to speak in a normal to slightly higher than normal tone for them to hear me. The Openfit 2s have enough water resistance so that your sweat or a light rain at least, should not be a problem. I wouldn’t suggest wearing them in the shower though, or heavy rain. When done, you just put them back in the case in a crisscross type way, and they start to charge automatically. A few minutes charge will get you over an hour of use if you need to just top them off. Wearing them for a few hours straight really isn’t uncomfortable. After a while I know they’re there, but nothing bad. I have always liked the ear gear from Shokz in the past, and this newer hovering type of bud is as good as their bone conduction models, to me. Being able to listen to your music but still be able to know what’s going on around you is very convenient and safer than sticking traditional buds into your ear (and cleaner to not have to do that). I give these a definite A+.

Great product! These are very light, they fit perfectly around my ear, the sound quality is great, I have not had any complaints from individuals while on a voice call. The app was easy to download, the settings was easy to maneuver through and the volume is pretty decent considering these don't go directly in your ear. I always have to remind everyone that these are not noise canceling headphones (when they're on my ear, they don't cancel out any noises around me) I can still hear everything!!! If you cannot focus with a lot of noise, these are not for you. As an adult, who has had an ear infection these are perfect. I don't want anything directly in my ear, I'm trying to avoid moisture, especially with me being extremely active. I also think this is a safer design to use in the vehicle while driving so you can still hear everything going on around you. You do have to be careful. I've had the right one fall out of my ear a few times and it's a matte black so once it falls, you need to pick it up immediately or you can lose it. Unlike Apple, the setting does not tell you your last location and you cannot put the headphones in lost mode however, if it still has battery life and you're within a certain range, you can play a sound from the app and it will play on your earplugs so you can find it. I am happy with my purchase. I have purchased every one of their headphones. I have all of them and I love them.

Due to the nature of my ear structure, I cannot use traditional earbuds very effectively. No matter what brand, I've always had difficulty getting them to stay in my ears. Additionally, I've never been a fan of traditional designs because it reduces your ability to hear what's going on around you. For those reasons I've been a fan of the Shokz earbuds and headphones for years. Having tried A LOT of different brands and styles, nothing has come even remotely close to these for me. There is a ton to love about these. They are very light, very comfortable, sound reproduction is incredible, battery life is outstanding, the controls are easy to learn and use and the overall quality of these is top tier. I found myself wearing these comfortably for 4+ hours and they never fatigued my ears like traditional earbuds. I can't even explain how nice it is to not have to take out an earbud to hear someone talking to you. Setup is incredibly easy taking mere seconds on my phone. The sound reproduction is fantastic. If there's one thing that I've always felt was lacking with Shokz traditional bone conductive headphones, it's that bass was lacking and, overall, they don't get loud enough to drown out the outside world if it's loud. You can absolutely forget about those two issues with these. They are LOUD and the sound reproduction across the range is very, very good. Bass is probably still not quite on par with a traditional earbud, but I'd much rather give up that for the spatial awareness and comfort factor. The case and earbuds are by far my favorite form factor I've ever used. The earbuds lay flat in the case which makes the case itself very compact unlike other extremely bulky cases from other brands. The case is also very light so you can carry these around without them being a burden or taking up a ton of space. The battery life is incredible on these. I used them for an entire day (well over 14 hours) without them running out of battery. I wasn't using them the whole time, but I was using them fairly frequently for podcasts and some videos and a few calls and they just ran all day. It would be hard for me to overstate how much I like these. Now that I know these are an option, I will probably never go back to a traditional earbud ever again. Buy these! You absolutely WILL NOT regret it!

The Shokz OpenFit 2 Open-Ear True Wireless Earbuds offer exceptional comfort, clarity, and convenience. Designed with an open-ear fit, they allow you to stay aware of your surroundings while enjoying rich, balanced audio. Ideal for runners, cyclists, and commuters, they’re lightweight and secure, staying in place even during intense activity. Battery life is impressive, providing all-day use on a single charge. Touch controls are intuitive, and Bluetooth connectivity is fast and reliable. These earbuds deliver excellent call quality too, making them a great choice for work and workouts alike. Sleek, modern, and functional—Shokz nails it with the OpenFit 2.

Having owned 3 different open style earbuds from top companies like Bose, Sony etc, these Shokz OpenFit 2 blows them all out of the water. Comfort, style and most of all, sound quality is excellent. Inside the box comes the carrying case with the buds, a USB C charging cable (you need to supply your own charger) and some paperwork. I plugged in my buds to charge before first use and took about 25 min before the light changed from orange to green. Pairing was as simple as can be. The first time you open the case, the inside light will flash indicating they are in pairing mode and ready to sync. I just opened my phone's Bluetooth settings and paired them instantly. Nothing else required. Comfort was spot on. They go around your ear lobe and since they are lightweight, there is no discomfort at all. The "speaker" is held in place by not only your ear itself but also the area right above the canal so it will blast whatever your listening to toward it. Normally with open ear buds, you can hear everything around you along with music but at the cost of bass quality to me. When I started playing my playlist and heard my tracks the 1st thing I did was literally scream, Yooooooooooo!. Highs and mids were fine but I was so surprised that BASS was actually really good and did NOT make my music sound flat at all. Sometimes I forgot I wasn't wearing in-ear buds they sounded so good. My co-worker told me she could hear my music at around 50%+ volume but not lower sitting roughly 7ft away. These are so great that I can not only hear my music and not disturb my coworkers but also still hearing everything happening around me. Phone calls were great as well. No complaints on either end when speaking or listening. Battery life has been excellent. I know that in an 8 hour shift with 1 hour letting these charge during lunch, they will last the whole workday. Charging is quick as well. If you need open ear style buds and to not rely on passthrough from closed buds, these are most definitely recommended.

If you're someone who gets sore ears from earbuds or needs to stay aware of your surroundings while still enjoying your music, the Shokz OpenFit 2 is a solid choice. These are open-ear headphones, so they don’t seal you off from the world. That means no noise cancellation here, but I guess that's the trade-off! For something that doesn’t actually sit inside your ear, the sound quality is pretty impressive. I’m not much into bass-heavy genres like hip-hop, but I found the bass really good. What really stood out to me was the clarity of vocals and how easy it was to pick out individual instruments. It’s rare to find good bass without it drowning out the details, and Shokz seems to have nailed that balance. That said, the midrange can feel a bit thin. There’s not a ton of richness to the sound, so if you’re an audiophile looking for warm, lush tones, these might not be your go-to. But for the use case—staying aware of your surroundings while enjoying music—they’re excellent. These have been great for the office. I can listen to music but still hear coworkers chatting in the cubicle next to me—perfect if they’re gossiping about me! On the flip side, these aren’t the headphones I’d grab for mowing the lawn or sitting on a noisy plane, since they won’t block out background sounds. One surprising bonus? I’ve started wearing one earbud to bed. With the open-ear design, I can listen to something soothing like Calm without waking up with the ear pain I usually get from traditional earbuds. Plus, my wife gets to enjoy her 145th re-watch of Harry Potter without us battling over volume levels. The Shokz OpenFit 2 isn’t for everyone, but if you’re looking for a comfortable, open-ear option with impressive sound quality (considering the design), they’re worth a try. Just know their limits—these aren’t for blocking out the world, but they excel at keeping you comfortable and aware in your surroundings.

I use wireless earphones more than almost any other device I own since I wear and use them all day at work as a delivery driver. As such, I have over the years landed on several preferences. Unfortunately, nothing I have ever used quite checks off all the boxes I would prefer, and they usually trade blows with each other. I have spent the last two years using AirPods Pro and transitioned to trying out the new Shokz OpenFit 2 for the past week. They have a different use case compared to the AirPods even though they are both types of fully wireless earbuds. I have used older Shokz earphones before, back when they were called AfterShokz. They have always had strengths in battery life and comfort, but usually lacked in sound quality and microphone quality. All those points remain relatively unchanged even now. The OpenFit 2 have exceptional battery life, which make them fantastic for my 8-10 hour work days. I have used them during long 10+ hour peak season days, and they never gave me any indication that the batteries were getting low after that long of a time. As a result, I don’t have any idea how long they would last without a charge in the case, but all day long plus some is the answer at the moment and that is great. The case is lightweight and doesn’t take up more space than necessary, barely bigger than the AirPods case but weighs less. The case can recharge the Shokz enough for another 48 hours of battery life according to the manual, and itself is charged via a USB-C connection, no wireless charging unfortunately. In other words, battery life is king for these. Comfort is another important function of my earphones as I use them for extended periods of time daily. I wear glasses and that has caused issues in the past with long term comfort for over the ear types of earbuds such as previous Shokz I have owned, but they have resolved that problem with a very slim wire and enough flexibility to keep out of the way of my glasses. Sound quality is very good, but they are different than older Shokz as these are not the Bone Conduction design I have experienced before. They are conventional speakers that hover right over my ear canal. I do feel like this reduces the sound quality somewhat and makes it easier for them to get drowned out by outside noises of which there are many in my delivery truck. Each side has a touch sensitive pad that can be used to access the voice assistant of your choice, and one small multifunction button on the top side for pausing, playing, skipping tracks, answering or ending calls, and more. The small button works well, and the ear bud provides an additional sound effect to make it clear the button was pressed correctly. The Microphone is the biggest drawback for these as it has no noise cancellation and makes it much more difficult for others to hear me when I am running my delivery route. The open ear style also makes it difficult for me to hear a call if things get extra loud such as when I am driving at high speeds. For listening to tunes or podcasts, they do very well, and I have no complaints. I think this type of ear bud has a distinct advantage if you need to be able to clearly hear everything around you while also listening to something while you work or exercise. They certainly won’t be for everyone, but the battery life makes a real serious argument for their usefulness as well. I like them a lot, but I have mixed feelings about whether they can truly replace my trusty AirPods.

When presented with the opportunity to use a set of "open air" earbuds for the first time, I was skeptical. Won't the earbuds allow too much noise in so I cannot hear the audio? Won't the bass response be terrible since there is no seal inside my ear canal? Won't everyone around me be able to hear what I'm listening to? All these worries were completely unfounded and put to rest during the first time I wore the Shokz Open Fit 2 earbuds! They are small and lightweight. I think that's a general requirement for something you will have hanging on your earlobe. In fact, I find them so comfortable that I typically put them on in the morning when I leave for work and I do not take them off until I get home for the evening! I've never been able to do that with any other set of earbuds because they usually become uncomfortable after awhile. The open air design allows me to stay connected with my outside surroundings. So, if someone speaks to me, I know it! Being situationally aware is key, especially in a field service job like mine. Don't worry about losing audio quality by choosing an open air set of earbuds like these! I was so impressed by the sound quality! Whether I was listening to music or focusing on a podcast, the audio was crisp and clear. The bass response was really great, even for not having an earbud jammed into my ear canal. The best part was, nobody around me could hear my earbuds, even at high volumes! The battery life is great. After wearing them all day I typically have about 30% battery remaining. If that isn't enough, the carrrying case doubles as a charger. The charging case is handy in ensuring the earbuds stay charged up so I can grab them and go! My only complaint about the charging case, which is very minor, is that it could be constructed of a little higher quality material. It didn’t feel completely premium, however, it gets the job done. A lot of other brands of earbuds that I have used have cases that feel a bit more well made and premium. I can overlook this due to how awesome the earbuds perform! These earbuds have trully changed how I listen to audio as I go about my day. The convenience of my ears not being obstructed while having superior audio quality and all day comfort are game changers! I haven't used any other earbuds since the day I pulled these out of the package!

These Shokz earbuds truly live up to their name, as I’m shocked at how incredible they are. As someone deeply invested in earbuds, I hadn’t heard of this brand before and initially set my expectations low. However, they’ve far exceeded any skepticism I had. I’ve previously used a well-known brand of open-fit earbuds that I absolutely loved. But since getting these Shokz, I haven’t looked back. Their design is clever, they wrap around the ear with the speakers resting just above the ear canal and directing sound inward. This design ensures they stay firmly in place while keeping an open-ear feel. The sound quality is exceptional, rivaling or even surpassing my other earbuds. The bass and treble are well balanced, and the clarity is amazing. The open design also eliminates ear fatigue, even after hours of use. They’re so comfortable that it’s easy to forget you’re wearing them. The Bluetooth connectivity is fantastic. These earbuds connect faster than any device I’ve ever used. By the time I take them out of the case and bring them to my ears, they’re already paired with my phone. The earbuds can be placed into the charging case in any order, thanks to the smart crossover design. One of the biggest surprises is the microphone quality. Everyone I’ve talked to on the phone reports my voice comes through loud and clear. However, these do pick up a fair amount of background noise, so they’re not ideal for calls in busy environments. My other open ear buds are virtually useless when talking on the phone. The only minor drawback is the size of the carrying case. While still compact, it’s larger than expected and not particularly pocket-friendly. In summary, I couldn’t be more pleased with these earbuds. They’ve become my new go-to buds, and I highly recommend them.

This is my review of the Shokz OpenFit 2 Earbuds upon which I rate at 5 out of 5 stars! Out of the box, the product comes with a User Guide, Technical Spec Booklet, USB-C to USB-C charging cord, and Charging Case. Please ensure you fully charge the earbuds and download the Shokz app. To use the device, simply remove each earbud from the charging case and slide the earbud hook around the backside of your ear and center the speaker over your ear canal. Turn on your smartphone Bluetooth as the earbuds will already be in paring mode and make your connection. This is is and now you are ready to go! I love these earbuds as they are very comfortable. I'm always concerned with any earbud that hooks around your ears as I wear glasses. The fit is perfect and find no issues even after wearing for extended periods. These earbuds are great for those who don't like to have earbuds within their ear canal. To note, for this reason, these earbuds are NOT noise cancelling. These earbuds are designed for situational awareness so external environmental sounds will be heard. This is a great design for those who work in an office, run/walk, or ride a bike. I paired these earbuds with my music streaming app having an equalizer and was impressed with the immersive sound quality. As for using for a phone call, I found the sound to be very crisp and my caller found the voice quality to be very clear and crisp as well. Per the manufacturer these earbuds are to have 48-hours of battery life. When you are done using them, put them back in the charging case to get ready for their next use. I highly suggest these earbuds for anyone looking for light and comfortable earbuds with great sound and situational awareness. I hope you enjoyed reading my review and it helps in your purchasing decision.

I don’t want to call these “earbuds” since they don’t fit in the ear, but they are the easiest units to pair I’ve ever owned. Rather than fumbling with buttons on each unit while trying to connect to the phone, they pair by pressing one button on the case while charging. The case also has lights indicating if the case is charging or fully charged. The stated battery life is about 7 hours on a single charge and up to 28 with the case. Additionally, a 5-minute charge provides up to 1 hour of use. This device is an open-ear design that provides exceptional sound quality for phone calls and music. Shokz developed a technology called DirectPitch that makes the range of pitch from highs, and mids to bass clear. The open design works like a charm with no loss of clarity or volume. I can’t say enough about the level of comfort compared to other devices. These are by far the most comfortable, least conspicuous, and best-sounding units I’ve used. There is a physical button that controls music, calls, and volume, and touch controls are programable through the app. They charge via a standard USB-C cable.

I recently purchased the Shokz OpenFit 2 Open-Ear True Wireless Earbuds, and they have completely transformed my listening experience! The sound quality is outstanding, with crisp highs and deep, rich lows that make every song come alive. I love the open-ear design, which keeps me aware of my surroundings while providing an immersive audio experience. The fit is incredibly comfortable; I can wear them for hours without any discomfort. They're perfect for workouts, commuting, or even just relaxing at home. Plus, the battery life is impressive—lasting all day on a single charge! The seamless connectivity with my devices is an added bonus, making it easy to switch between music and calls. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase and highly recommend these earbuds to anyone looking for quality, comfort, and convenience. Five stars all the way!
