Customer Ratings & Reviews

Comfort is great for me, as I prefer not having something jammed into my ear channel. These stay in place for me and don't pop out or off when moving my jaw. Only down side was they did not work independently. Sound was clear and very pleasant. Longer battery life than I expected.

The Shokz OpenFit Air is an exciting leap forward in open-ear audio, bringing you a richer, fuller sound experience that surpasses earlier models. From the moment you take them out of the box, the improvements are clear—enjoy deeper bass, well-balanced mids and highs, and a listening experience that feels beautifully immersive, all while keeping your ears open to the world around you. Whether you’re taking a call, vibing to your favorite songs, or staying alert during a workout, you’re bound to be truly impressed by the outstanding sound quality. With all the latest open-ear technology, these earbuds are a joy to use. Their lightweight design and open-ear fit allow you to stay aware of your surroundings while indulging in a surprisingly rich audio experience. Calls are crystal clear, and the upgraded driver technology ensures that everything from podcasts to your go-to playlists sounds better than ever. If you can snag these for under $100, they offer fantastic value, especially for anyone who enjoys being tuned in without losing touch with their environment. However, my wife and I have found that the fit can be a bit of a challenge—it doesn’t quite feel secure enough for all-day wear. While they’re pretty comfortable, they don’t sit as snugly as we’d prefer, making them less ideal for more active use. We both lean towards the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Mini for a snugger fit that maintains comfort. But if you find that the OpenFit Air fits you just right, it’s an incredible upgrade with remarkable sound quality—definitely worth a try to ensure they stay in place!

I was really excited to try these headphones. I have never been able to find comfortable earphones because they hurt my ears. These, however, are extremely comfortable and super easy to put on and secure. The storage/charging case is conveniently small and simple without any controls. The big hang up came when I tried to read the instructions and infographic. The font was way too small to read!!!! They can give me instructions in twelve languages but they can’t use a few square centimeters of paper to make instructions legible. Took a picture of instructions so I could enlarge them to read!!! The infographic not much better as implied there were actual “buttons” on the outside of the earphones. So, to pair, either open the case OR firmly press both earphones as they sit in the case until the lights flash alternate colors. Now, once I figured it out, it was simple to pair to my phone, tv and desktop. Sweet! I am really excited about using them with my tv as I can watch without disturbing others in the room. Husband says he can’t hear the audio when sitting near me, so that is really the best!

What I like the most about these are light weight and great battery life. The are comfortable to wear and good for listening to music, but not in the noise environment as they are open ear design and does not have noise cancellation. The call quality is just average and sometimes scratchy. I use these with iPhone 13 and my Mac. These seamlessly switch between the two device without any problems, The app offers little functionality but overall the headphones are just plug and play. Their drawback is that they remain connected even if you remove them (but do not keep them in the charging case). It could be a nice functionality like apple air pods that if you remove them they disconnect and paste the music. Overall these are good for music and okay for calls in normal environment.

As the title suggests, these are easily my favorite earbuds to date. And why is it that I think such? Well, these rest over your outer ear as opposed to being inserted, which is important in my case, since I have sensitive ear canals due to a surgery I had when I was but a wee lad. In other words, I can comfortably wear these for as long as they have juice. In-ear earbuds really irritate my ear canals by comparison. Add that with the overall fit/finish, the nifty little touch controls, and the overall sound quality, and you arrive at a stellar product, in my opinion. Speaking of sound quality (arguably the most important aspect of listening devices); it is quite good, maybe even shockingly so for such tiny speakers, while still allowing the wearer to be aware of their surroundings. I guess if I had name drawbacks to these earbuds, it would be that the battery life isn't exactly stellar, only decent, and that the price might seem a bit steep to some at 120 dollars. Personally, I think they're well worth the asking price (I took the plunge on a sale, hah). Overall, I'm quite pleased with this kind of sorta impulse buy. These are as good as they get.

I absolutely love these. I am not a fan of the headphones that go inside your ear and you can hear perfectly fine! You can lower the volume where you can hear what is going on around you if you wish or turn it up where it feels like everything in the outside like if it was inside your ear. I often take calls and these are great for that too. No complains. The battery life is AMAZING. 10 minutes and they are fully charged! I honestly do not talk about them with anyone because I have to gatekeep these! I dont want the price to go up! HAHA I wish I wouldve bought the brown/beige ones but I chose white.

These are really comfortable. It's easy to forget you have them on. The sound is good as well. Battery life is ok doesn't take long to get a re-charge.

Best design for non in ear people. The app helps you control how you want to hear what you are listening to. Able to use one earpiece or both. Does not move around when walking running or just moving you head. My wifewould not try them because of her not liking anything in her ear. I finally got my wife try them and she wanted a pair. Best thing about the design is, no irritation. Just great sound and comfort.

I am a licensed mental health counselor, and spend all day on my computer or phone conducting telehealth therapy sessions. Due to this, I wear earbuds ALL DAY LONG. it is very important that the earbuds I use be comfortable and allow my clients to hear me clearly (and I can hear them). I have literally tried 10-15 different ear bud brands/models throughout the five years that I’ve been working remotely. Throughout this time, I have become increasingly irritated with ear buds that go into my ear — so I have been searching for an over-the-ear ear bud for about a year. I previously bought (and subsequently returned the more expensive Shokz earbuds but ultimately decided that the performance of that product did not justify the higher cost. However, they were adequate. Once I saw that they released a lower priced model, I thought it would be worth a try. I have been using these earbuds daily for over a month and am pretty satisfied with their performance. The sound is clear (although I tend to use them on the highest volume setting so I guess it would be nice if they were louder). They connect flawlessly to both my laptop and my phone — as I often switch back and forth. Most ear buds can only connect to one device at a time. Although the Shokz app allows you to customize some of the settings, the touch feature is somewhat limited in what it can do. The only other cons are: they fit a little loose and sometimes get knocked off my head; they lack a locating feature (such as “find my phone” compatibility or “Tile” integration); and lack voice command options. My previous favorite earbuds were the Beats (with the ear hook as regular earbuds do not stay in my ear). However, since I prefer not to have something in my ear canal all day (as it starts to feel icky after a few hours), these earbuds are now my favorite.

These fit perfectly for these who wear glasses. Comfortable & great sound quality. Battery life Lasts Lasts all day! Plus, they allow me to hear everything around.

Open-fit headphones are a great idea, and this execution is a wo derful example. Perfect for "work from home" techies. Great for wandering the cityscape or countryside while remaining in touch with whatever is around you. No harsh tones as a podcast listening headset, and you have hours of listening opportunity.

These are the best earbuds on the market!! I LOVE how they fit. I didn't care for the ones that actually go inside of the ear opening. These just rest on the outside of the ear. The sound is superior compared to what's out on the market right now. I would buy AND recommend this to ANYONE in the market for new bluetooth ear buds!

The Shokz OpenFit Air Earbuds are not the usual Bone Conduction headphones Shokz offers. They use DirectPitch to aim the sound into your ear while being open. The are lightweight and designed to slide over your ear with the sound transmitted aimed at the middle of your ear. They have Bluetooth (BT) 5.2, are IP54, and are rated for a 7 hours of listening. The batteries can be recharged to full in an hour in the case and the case holds up to 28 total hours of charging. A 5 minute charge should provide an hour of listening. It take about 2 hours to fully charge the case. You can also do multipoint pairing using the Shokz app. In the box you get the Earbuds, charging case, a USB-C to USB-A charging cable, and instructions. After charging, setup is easy. Just open the case and your ready to pair. For subsequent pairings press both earpieces at once in the case and you can pair to a different device. The Shokz app adds more features and functions, but is not needed to use the product. It pairs like any other BT device. The earbuds slip over your ear and then you rotate them back slipping the earpiece into your ear. The earpieces also house the microphone and have touch controls. I had issues here. I don’t know if it’s the size or shape of my ear, but it never quite fit in right. I’ve used devices in the ear before and never had a problem. I could not get the earpiece to stay in a good position. So, everything sounded faint/far away. Music and voice came through, but not like it was right there. I could force it in a better position, and it sounded better, but it would not stay there. When using the earphones on a phone or computer, my voice was described as tinny. That may also have been because they didn’t seat right in my ear and were in a bad position. The Shokz app allows you to do some equalizing. You have the choices of regular, bass, Treble and Voice. Bass didn’t add that much, and muffled the sound. Treble dropped the bass really well and let higher notes shine. Voice did make calls clearer. But, for me it was all a little distant sounding. When I forced them into a better position it sounded better in all settings. Independent pairing of the earpiece is easy through the app and each piece can connect to a different device at the same time. Hearing ambient sound was not obstructed and I could easily hear what was going on around me. For touch controls, the left is previous track and right next track. Double tapping either is play/pause. For phone calls, either left or right double tap answers and ends the call, tap and hold rejects a call. Using the tap area was easy and worked fine. You can also customize what tapping does in the app. The Openfit will seem to work well if they fit your ears right. They did not for me, and therefor everything sounded distant. If you can, try them first to make it easier to decide whether or not to buy them. If they fit correctly it seems like it would be a lot better. I tried the way in the manual and pictures on the Shokz website, but they never fit quite right, so the sound was off for me.

Great sound and very comfortable to wear that I sometimes forget I’ve had them on for hours. Amazing battery life and priced pretty reasonably.

I bought these for my father. The comfort, connectivity, battery life, and mic are amazing. He uses them for calls and to watch videos with no complains. Being on the other end of phone calls, these have had the best quality i have heard while speaking to him

The Shokz OpenFit Air Open-Ear True Wireless Earbuds have been a fantastic addition to my daily routine. The open-ear design is incredibly comfortable and perfect for staying aware of my surroundings while enjoying music or taking calls. The sound quality is impressive, delivering clear audio with balanced tones, and the lightweight build makes them ideal for extended use. The white design looks sleek and modern, and pairing with my devices was seamless. These earbuds are especially great for outdoor activities or work environments where awareness is essential. What could be improved: It would be helpful if the earbuds had a slightly longer battery life for heavy users like me. Overall, these earbuds offer an excellent combination of comfort, style, and functionality. Highly recommended for anyone looking for open-ear audio!

Very comfortable, sounds much better from the predecessors, looks sleek not bulky on the ear. My only issue is it is only good for 4 hours.

This is my second time purchasing these because I wanted to try a different color. The color is very nice, but also the convenience of these is even better. They don’t irritate my ear. They just sit comfortably for hours. The sound is top notch, and being able to answer my phone calls with just a tap is so easy.

I use these earbuds for workouts, and, for the money, they perform as well or better than more expensive competitors. They produce very good sound; the noise cancelling is excellent and the fit very good, as well. My only gripe would be that the controls are somewhat more limited than other options.

The Shokz OpenFit Air Open-Ear True Wireless Earbuds are a fantastic blend of comfort, safety, and sound quality. The open-ear design is a game-changer, letting you enjoy clear, crisp audio while staying aware of your surroundings—a huge plus for workouts or outdoor activities. They’re lightweight, super comfortable, and stay put no matter what you’re doing. The battery life is solid, and the Bluetooth connection is seamless. Whether you're hitting the gym or just running errands, these earbuds are a perfect choice. Highly recommend them for anyone with an active lifestyle!
