Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

The Shokz Open Fit 2 earbuds are absolutely amazing and fit perfectly. They come in a cute square case that can be easily stored anywhere, and they include a USB-C cable, although there is no wall adapter. Connecting these headphones to my device was super easy. One of the features I love is that they wrap around your ear for a more secure fit and slightly cover your ear, rather than going all the way inside, which can cause discomfort after long periods of use or lead to them falling out. They are definitely great for outdoor activities, exercising, or just wearing them around the house. They are super lightweight that sometimes I would forget I had them on. The sound quality is impressive—clear and crisp. These Shokz Open Fit are not touch-sensitive; instead, each bud has one button that allows you to control the volume, skip tracks, and pause playback. This feature is straightforward to use. The sound during calls was good and had no echo or static. I really enjoy these Open fit earbuds they are lightweight, they fit nice and soft around the ear, sound is great and most important is that they don’t fall out or cause any discomfort after a long period of use. I recommend these 100%!

A breakthrough addition to the market of open-ear headphones are the Shokz OpenFit 2 earbuds. They offer a unique mix of awareness of the surroundings, comfort, and musical quality. Designed for consumers who want to stay in touch to their surroundings while enjoying audio during their listening session, these earbuds offer a mesmerizing experience with very few concessions. The OpenFit 2 earbuds have a design that is open-ear, lightweight, and equipped with flexible ear hooks that offer a secure and pleasant fit. The fact that they weigh only about 9 grams and are ergonomically designed to lay outside the ear canal without generating pressure or fatigue makes them an excellent choice for being worn for an extended period of time. For best comfort, however, additional modifications could be required for individuals who wear spectacles or have ears that are smaller. Once you get them correctly placed, you will forget you are wearing them as they are so light and discreet. Shokz's DirectPitch technology marks a significant advance over their bone-conduction forebears in that it can generate clearly balanced sound.. In spite of the fact that the open-ear design results in a bass response that is not as deep as that of conventional in-ear headphones, the sound profile is nevertheless warm and completely genuine. These earphones are great for listening to music, podcasts, and audiobooks because the vocals and instruments sound very clear. The open-ear design, on the other hand, has the intrinsic disadvantage of limiting bass performance and soundstage immersion when compared to closed earbuds or headphones that cover the entire ear. Even in extremely silent surroundings, there is a slight but detectable amount of noise leakage. Features that are included in the OpenFit 2 earbuds are as follows: DualBoost Technology, which improves the dynamic audio performance of the device. Lifespan of the Battery Up to forty-eight hours while using the charging case and having the capacity to charge quickly. Multi-device pairing is made possible with Bluetooth 5.4, which guarantees consistent connectivity. Buttons that are physical Ensure that playback and calls may be easily controlled. A.I.-Powered Calling System The use of noise-cancelling microphones helps to improve the clarity of calls. Resistance to Water, IP55 Type For usage outside, it offers protection against perspiration and light rain. Their versatility allows them to be used in a variety of contexts where situational awareness is important, such as jogging, trekking, or working in surroundings, the OpenFit 2 performs exceptionally well under pressure. These earbuds allow you to hear ambient sounds without sacrificing the quality of the music, which is useful whether you are jogging on busy streets or working in an office where you need to be aware to discussions on the other side of the room. They are also extremely portable and come with a charging case that is both strong and durable. However, due to the fact that they occasionally move or make noise from the wind, they might not be the best choice for high-impact activities such as intensive workouts or cycling at fast speeds. With that being said, Exceptional situational awareness, a balanced sound quality with EQ that can be customized, and a design that is both comfortable and lightweight, Long battery life combined with a rapid recharge time A sturdy construction that is resistant to water are all advantages. Cons: - The bass performance is limited, The fit may require adjustments for some users, There is a possibility of wind noise during activities that take place outside. Those individuals who place a higher value on comfort, situational awareness, and reasonable audio quality than they do on deep bass or immersive soundstage may find the Shokz OpenFit 2 earbuds to be an excellent opportunity. They are particularly useful in environments that need a strong connection to one's surroundings or in lifestyles that are physically demanding. Although they might not be able to take the place of high-end audiophile headphones or noise-cancelling versions for usage in the office for an entire day, they do provide a one-of-a-kind solution for certain requirements. Shokz continues to push the boundaries of open-ear audio technology with their forward-thinking designs and functionalities that require careful consideration.

I’ve been using the Shokz OpenFit 2 for a few weeks, and they’ve become my go-to earbuds for everything from long walks to late-night editing sessions. The open-ear design is super comfortable—I can wear them for hours without any pressure or fatigue, and it’s great to stay aware of my surroundings. Sound quality really surprised me: vocals are crisp, bass is punchy without being overwhelming, and phone calls come through loud and clear. Bluetooth pairing is quick and rock-solid, and the battery life easily covers a full day of mixed use. If you like the idea of wireless earbuds that let you hear your music and the world around you, these are an excellent choice.

Comfortable and the audio is amazing. Easy to pair with phone, holds a charge, and doesn't fall out of the ear while running.

I have always used the Shokz headphones with the bar that goes around your head and I was very reluctant to buy this version. I am very pleased with the transition! These stay on your ear perfectly, have great sound quality, are comfortable and don't tangle in my hair like the version with the bar. The battery life seems to be greater than the older model as well!

Amazing pair of earbuds I was looking to simply replace my AirPods and stumbled upon a real gem of a company I’m astounded at the quality of these things for the price that I got them for compared to what I would’ve had to pay to match this with Bose is staggering the lightweight feel that makes me forget their on my ears to the fact that when my audio is paused it doesn’t matter cause I can hear just the same and it doesn’t hurt to wear after hours and they don’t lie about 11 hours on one charge these babies GO they charge to full within an hour and a half and the case barely drains battery per charge I absolutely am in love with the fact that they’ve completely replaced my pc headset I’ve gone from head pain and muffled audio from my Logitech headphone pads to great bass clear audio and seamless switching between my phone and computer I pause one thing and start another on my phone and don’t have to disconnect anything can go straight to watching on my phone after pausing on my other device these were worth the random purchase and I’m buying openswim pros with my next paycheck so I can shower with em

These earbuds are great. The buds go around the ear and the actual bud does not go in your ear. The earbuds feel secure and would not fall out while working out or going for a run. The setup was easy via Bluetooth on my phone. As for the sound, its loud enough but lacks a little on bass. The sound is still crisp and clear. Manufacturer states the battery can last upto 48 hours in one full charge. Charging is easy and fast with the usb-c charging port. Cable is included. The earbuds come with a case that's small and convenient. The earbuds have a one button system where you can press once to play and pause. Press multiple times to skip and replay. Since these earbuds are open ear, they do not have the ability to cancel out surrounding noise. These earbuds were designed that way for "situational awareness". I personally like that feature, noise cancellation can be scary. Overall, I would recommend them to anyone who likes to workout or like to run. These earbuds feel secure around the ears and are easy to use.

TLDR: Secure fit with open, clear sound. But, without a functioning app, hard to tell what their true potential is. USE The OpenFit2’s are very comfortable and fit securely. The Shokz’s are my most secure feeling earbuds to date. Buyers don’t have to spend the time fitting and interchanging tips trying to get the best, most comfortable and secure fit. The Fit2’s slide over the top of your ear and once adjusted, rest over the outside of the ear. The springy, rubbery “hook” provides just enough tension on the earbuds to be secure without feeling uncomfortable. The Fit2’s are the most comfortable and secure feeling earbuds I’ve owned to date. Because the Fit2’s fit over the ear and not into the ear canal, they are extremely comfortable to use for long periods of time. There were times I forgot that I had them on. Shokz claims “all day comfort” and I believe them. Because they OpenFit2’s rest on your ear, all that comfort is a double-edged sword. As comfortable and secure as I find them to be, the OpenFit2’s don’t have any form of noise cancellation (at least not yet from what I can tell). They allow ambient sound to come through unadulterated. That is where the double-edged sword comes in. Buyers are unable to isolate themselves from the world around them, if that is your thing. Again, double-edged. Great for outdoor activities in that you can still hear potential threats or problems, but not great if you want to tune out the rest of the world while wearing them around the office. NEGATIVES As these are a newly released product, the Shokz app does not yet work with the OpenFit2, whether it be on Android or iOS. Because of this, I am unable give a concise evaluation of the OpenFit2. There is no way to customize the EQ, no way to update firmware, etc. I think the OpenFit2’s have more to offer, but the lack of app support leaves a lot on the table and a great deal of untapped potential. Shokz has promised full app compatibility by the release date. Phone calls too, are a mixed bag. Callers have commented on the clarity of speech, but I can’t necessarily say the same for their voices. Voices are clear, but because the Shokz don’t fully isolate the ear canal, I find breezes easily disrupt the clarity of the call. I’m sure that the OpenFit2’s will have some form of noise cancellation tech built-in, but I can’t tell for sure as the app does not work and as of now it is just raw audio, based on my usage. Lastly, Shokz still relies on an old-fashioned warranty card. Lose the included warranty piece of paper and you lose your ability to utilize the manufacturer’s warranty if something were to happen. The app does not tie your earbuds to your account and that account to your warranty. You can’t register your earbuds and activate the manufacturer’s warranty within the app. ALL the other competitors do it better. CONCLUSIONS Battery life has been very good. I have gotten more than 5 hours on a charge with some to spare. A quick 5 minutes in the charger will give you up to an hour of playback, with up to 28 hours of playback with a fully charged case. The Fit2’s are IP54 rated against sweat and moisture, ensuring a good workout won’t damage them. Shokz makes bold claims in their materials about extreme bass, exceptional clarity, etc., but without a properly functioning app, those claims are impossible to test. Yes, the Shokz have paired without issue to my iPad and my Galaxy phone, but there are no customization options available. I can’t monitor charge levels, customize call parameters, or adjust playback EQ’s. Because of this, the OpenFit2’s are merely average. Yes, they have extremely clear audio in the mid-range, however that audio quality falls off drastically in the lows and highs. I know this is mostly contributed to relying solely on the overly compressed Bluetooth protocol. Honestly, in many ways they fall short of the competition. The lossy Bluetooth audio sounds mediocre and without a fully functioning app, I have found no way to test if they support LDAC or AptX. My Galaxy certainly shows they do not at this point. Maybe a firmware update will change that. Raw, Bluetooth music from either my iPad or Galaxy sounds just blah and uninspiring. While call quality is great in most environments, call quality quickly deteriorates with the slightest bit of breeze. I don’t know if it is because I can’t turn on noise cancellation or that they don’t fully cover the ear, letting wind around the device. Either way, a breeze can render calls nearly unintelligible. My opinion may change when the product is officially released and the app is updated, but as of now, I unfortunately must give it a NOT RECOMMENDED rating. There are just too many questions left unanswered at this point to give the OpenFit2’s any other rating. NOT RECOMMENDED

I’ve used a LOT of headphones—from over-ear to in-ear—but the Shokz OpenFit 2 absolutely blew me away. Sound Quality: You’d think open-ear would mean weak bass or thin sound. Not here. The audio is shockingly rich and immersive while keeping your ears open to the world around you. It’s the perfect balance of safety and sound—whether I’m running outdoors, hitting the gym, or walking through the airport. Comfort: I wore these for a full 4-hour flight and forgot they were on. ZERO ear fatigue. No pressure, no adjusting every 10 minutes. The flexible ear hook design is super secure—even during HIIT workouts or long-distance runs. Mic Quality: Call clarity is crisp. I’ve taken work calls while jogging and never had someone say they couldn’t hear me. The noise reduction works surprisingly well even in wind or busy streets. Battery Life: Easily gets me through a full day of training and travel. Plus, the charging case is compact and keeps them ready to go without hunting for a cable mid-day. Final Thoughts: These are not just "running headphones." They’ve become my go-to daily earbuds. If you’re active, multitask a lot, or hate the pressure of in-ear buds, do yourself a favor and try the OpenFit 2 or the new model.

The Shokz OpenFit 2 is a solid upgrade over the original OpenFit, delivering noticeably louder volume and significantly better sound quality. The audio feels fuller, with improved bass and clarity, making them more enjoyable for both workouts and casual listening. One of the standout improvements is the battery life—you get up to 11 hours on a single charge, with the case providing a total of 48 hours, which is a major leap from the first generation. The comfort remains top-tier with a flexible and secure fit that works well for glasses wearers too. And with physical buttons replacing touch controls, they're easier to manage during activities. Overall, the OpenFit 2 offers great sound, loud volume, and all-day usability—definitely a worthy successor to original

Some people collect watches and like to wear different ones on different days... and I'm about at that point with headphones and earbuds. Is it a problem? Depends on how you look at it. The way I see it is that no matter the occasion for things to pump sound to my ears I will always have the right choice on hand. Enter these very interesting earbuds from Shokz. Heck, I dont' eve know if I should call them earbuds because they don't actually go *in* your ear. They go on it. (But not the way you're used to.) And they go kinda in it, yes. (But also not the way you're used to.) If you're reading this, I'll assume you've seen the pictures but if not that's the best way to understand exactly what they are. The question now is: why would you buy these over something more traditional? Well, the easy answer to that one is comfort. You get none of the pressure in your ear canal from buds and none of the pressure on your head and cartilege from traditional headphones. I've never tried bone conduction phones, but I've used the Meta RayBans and a Meta Quest and maybe there's a comparison there, in that these kind of just position the sound to your ears without blocking any other sounds from coming in. (Which I'll get to shortly). What's kind of nice though is that you could have these on and most people would probably not even notice there's anything different about them just based on look. They're definitely more visibly similar to earbuds than say bone conduction headphones. They wrap around the ear itself and then the speakers kind of hover over the ear canal - and it's lovely. You can still feel air on your ears while wearing them. You can still hear other sounds, which has obvious benefits to anyone who runs or bikes in areas with car traffic. Or maybe you just want to be able to hear anyone who might talk to you while you're grocery shopping. Or you want a lightweight option for long work phone calls. If you think you *might* have a use case for this type of device, then you probably won't be disappointed. They do what they advertise! The part that touches the ear is soft and flexible. You could easily wear these for hours and not be fatigued! And they sound good, so you'll want to! Very clear for podcasts and music. Maybe not the most bass heavy thing you've ever heard, but are you buying these for that?? There are tactile control buttons on the side for play/pause, etc. and they work great. There's no fumbling around with touch sensitivity. Phone calll quality got a thumbs up (though not as clear as the Meta RayBans) and yeah - they're just really pleasant to use for 80% of what I want to listen to them. The only real knock here is that *because* they are so unique... it's taking some time to get used to them. Even just the fact that they're sort of over your ear, but not meant to go inside of them - I can't tell you how many times I've already instinctively tried to push them in further than I need to. Or try to get them to fit in a more snug manner. The other obvious downside is that noise cancellation obviously is not really in the cards here and, yeah, sometimes I just find myself forgetting about that and will try to do things like vacuum then suddenly wonder why I can't hear what I'm listening to. So those are the trade offs. You get a nice sturdy case with charging built in and some really solid, unique headbuds (?) for a pretty decent price. Again, if you think you might like them the best way to know is to just try them. I'd love to see the sound quality get even better with the next iteration, but for now I'm pretty pleased overall.

These are the absolute best! I can wear all day without my ears getting sore. Sound quality is surprisingly good for being out of ear and open!!! A must for taking calls at work, music while exercising or audio books!!! Connect so easily to all devices even my tv. Battery and charge case last forever!!!

My experience with the Shokz Openfit 2 was genuinely great. These earbuds deliver outstanding audio using a combination of air and bone conduction, making every note feel palpable and deep. ​Performance and Comfort ​The battery life is a major highlight, packing an impressive 11 hours on a single charge. This makes them a perfect choice for all-day use, whether you're listening to music or taking calls at work. They are also comfortable to wear and have a distinctive premium feel. ​Important Caveats ​There are two things to note before buying: ​Wireless Charging: If wireless charging is essential for you, I recommend opting for the Openfit 2 Plus model, as this standard version lacks that feature. ​Fit & Material: While I personally loved them, I unfortunately had to return them after noticing a small allergic reaction to the silicone on the ear hook. ​I strongly recommend testing them at a store before purchasing to ensure the fit and materials work for you. Aside from my personal allergy issue, these are a fantastic choice—a great option for a gift or a perfect way to treat yourself.

Love these things, They have a great sound quality. I take them out of the case and they stay charged till i get back home from work. iwork in construction and if they get wet i just dry them off and i am good to go. If i do need to put them in the case for a charge, they charge very quickly. they are quite possibly the best i have ever had.

I’ve been using the Shokz OpenFit 2 for several weeks now, and they have exceeded my expectations in every way. The open-ear design allows me to stay aware of my surroundings while enjoying my favorite music, making them perfect for outdoor activities like running and cycling. The sound quality is impressive, with clear mids and highs, and an improved bass response compared to previous models. The DualBoost™ Technology enhances the audio experience, providing a richer and more dynamic sound.  Comfort-wise, the OpenFit 2 features lightweight titanium ear hooks that provide a secure and comfortable fit, even during extended use. The physical button controls are intuitive and responsive, allowing me to easily manage playback and calls without fumbling with touch-sensitive areas.   Battery life is another strong point, offering up to 11 hours of continuous playback on a single charge. The IP55 rating ensures resistance to sweat and light rain, adding to their durability for workouts and outdoor adventures.  Overall, the Shokz OpenFit 2 headphones are a fantastic choice for anyone seeking high-quality audio without compromising situational awareness. They strike an excellent balance between performance, comfort, and safety, making them a worthwhile investment for active individuals.

I had the first gen and really loved them. Here's my view on the first gen: Of course with any product there's some downsides there was the short battery life, sound was decent but overall was improved with the EQ options. For some reason I couldn't get it to pair with my computer ever even if I deleted all my connected devices to the earbuds. The Gen 2 gives you so much more battery life, physical buttons, instant connectivity to my computer now lol they sound better You still need to EQ them but that's not difficult, volume and overall loudness is NOT an issue with these OR The first gen. For people that hate having earbuds in their ears and worry about them falling out these are the perfect solution, they don't fall out because they don't go in the ear canal, If you hate the fatigue of having earbuds in your ear canal and getting warm sweaty kind of itchy from the silicone or rubber tips or the pressure, these are for you! And I can't wait to see in a year or so what the third generation improves upon. For what they are they sound pretty incredible for the volume you get out of these incredible as well. Battery life is great and much appreciated. I do not even charge my powerbeat pros anymore or use them. These are my go to earbuds for everything Will they be the best sounding for music? No, but for me personally they're more than passable for working out. I use earbuds a lot for phone calls and when I'm listening to podcasts while working out if I'm not listening to music and it's just really great being able to hear yourself talk and not feel like you're in a tunnel. I know a lot of companies are including microphones that pick up your voice and mix it in with the earbuds during calls so it feels more natural and they do a decent job, but these take away the need for any of that. I seriously will recommend this product to just about anyone that fits the criteria that I've mentioned I use them for.

I am not a sound expert. I just wanted a pair of wireless earbuds that didn’t fit into my ear and were still small. These hook around your ear and rest over the ear opening. They feel great and are Light and comfortable. As for sound quality I am happy with them. I listen to Podcasts and stream music and audio books. Everything is clear and crisp. Battery life has been good. These have met all of my expectations.

With my previous in the ear earbuds I mostly listen to podcasts, but I find myself using these as much for music - the occasional rock or classical music tracks while reading, and I've also begun using them with my TV while watching late at night while my partner sleeps. I've found these to be very comfortable. They produce good quality sound and the bluetooth seems to stay strong even when I occasionally venture into another room away from my phone. Very happy with my purchase.
