The absolute best ear buds I've ever used. I've gone through many. Galaxy buds, air pods, Lenovo buds, EKSA buds, cheap generic knock offs, Plantronics Voyager legend, Plantronics 5200. tons. None of them compare to the sound quality and call quality of these Shockz buds. They are over the ear, not in the ear, the bass is amazing, they last me 7 hours playing constant music and charge up enough to use the rest of the day in just 10 minutes in the little charging case that is INCLUDED with the purchase unlike others I've used. I work outside in the heat, and sweat like a pig at slaughter, but it doesn't affect my Shockz. They also seamlessly connected with both my iPhones and my Samsung Galaxy s22 ultra. All you got to do is open the case. Truly a magnificent piece of tech. Would buy again if I lost these.

Absolutely love my Shokz OpenFit! The open-ear design is super comfortable—I can wear them all day without any pressure or ear fatigue. Sound quality is amazing, with rich clarity and just enough bass. I can still hear my surroundings, which makes them perfect for work, workouts, and even walks with my dog. Battery life is solid, and the fit is secure. Highly recommend!”

First off, let me start off by saying that I’ve never been a huge fan of headphones / wireless earbuds. But, the Shokz OpenFit Open-Ear wireless earbuds surprisingly “Shocked” me of how well I actually like them! I work from home, and I am on the phone several hours a day. Instead of using a bulky headset that can sometimes feel suffocating, I decided to purchase the Shokz wireless headphones from Best Buy. They are so lightweight yet very secure, and I love the fact that you can still hear what’s going on around you while still being able to hear your music or phone call as clear as day. I wear glasses sometimes as well, and the Shokz wireless earbuds stay in place all day without falling out or moving. Connecting to Bluetooth on your cell phone or computer is a breeze and the Shokz app is very intuitive! You’re able to adjust the base as well as other sound settings, view the battery percentage, and upgrade any firmware needed for the Shokz earbuds. The battery will last you for an extensive amount of time without having to charge! I can use these earbuds 3 to 4 days - 8 hours a day without having to charge! If you’re looking for that open-ear fit with the lightweight yet securable comfort, then it’s time to upgrade to the Shokz OpenFit Wireless Earbuds!

I love these shokz ear buds!
No more wired earplugs and earplugs you put inside your ears.
I use bible.is, an dramatized auto bible program, gone thru listening to the whole bible 2 times and the old testament 3 times, thanks to these earbuds. They last over 10 hours per earbud. Easy to charge in the self chaging base.
Im a supervisor and can still listen to my audio and talk to my employees.

These Shokz open fit open ear wireless earbuds are amazing. I was looking for an earbud that didn’t have to go in the ear and I didn’t really want the full over the ear either. I like to wear one bud at a time to give my ears a rest since I wear them all day long and I like an open ear to hear my surroundings. I originally tried the Bose ultra open ear that clipped on the ear but they made my ears very sore after only using them for 1 day. When I returned them, the customer rep recommended to try these and I’m so glad he did! They are soft and light and hang on the ear. I was skeptical that it would make my ear sore having to hang on the ear but the hook is a very flexible and soft silicone. I hardly feel them at all and sometimes I forget that I have them on. The best part is that they stay outside of the ear and the sound is still terrific! Nice base and full sound. I’m pretty picky when it comes to sound so I was pleasantly surprised at how well these sound. I wear them all day long for meetings and everyone says they can hear me very clearly and they sound very clear too. Music sounds amazing as well. I’m very happy with this purchase especially since these cost half the price as my original purchase. The case is a wired charge until fully charged but is then wireless and keeps the buds charged all day. I get many days before having to plug the case in again. Overall - great sound, very comfortable, very happy. Get them.

I wanted to give myself a good week or so before I wrote my review, making sure I had enough experience with these buds to properly word my thoughts and opinions.
I'd previously used the Shokz OpenRun Pro Premium bone conduction headphones. I wanted something that I could use at work to listen to my tunes but still be aware of my surroundings. My back is turned to everyone else in the office, and with my Galaxy Buds Pro (also a great set), I was not able to hear when someone approached me, even with the noise pass-thru enabled. The Shokz OpenRun solved this issue, but one aspect annoyed me... as a dude with long hair, the band that went around the back with the OpenRun annoyed me (as well as the lack of bass, but that's just a minor gripe).
So I decided to try these OpenFit Open-Ear buds... and my oh my what a fantastic difference they made!! They are not bone conduction like the OpenRun sets, but rather sit just inside your ear, still leaving the canal open so you can hear your surroundings. Of course at a higher volume, you'd be less likely to hear someone talking to you, but at lower volume, it's great for office use, which is exactly what I needed... and the audio quality is absolutely superb in my opinion. The bass is not super heavy but very clear and very noticeable. I listen to alot of Swedish heavy metal (oddly specific, I know!) and these buds are great for that!
My only concern was that they are VERY light, and at first, I was afraid that they might fall off the ear, but I have them a good test, and shook my head vigorously like a crazed dog experiencing Slayer for the first time (at least that's what I'm told by my wife that it looked like) and the buds stayed firmly in place!
Honestly, I couldn't be happier with this purchase, and would highly recommend to anyone who wants good quality clear audio while still being aware of their surroundings. Just don't tweak your neck headbanging too much to Slayer \m/

I have been nothing but happy with these. They stay on
my ears and don't fall off. They hold a good charge. They don't irritate my ears. They have a clear sound. They were easy to Pair with my phone.

I like the fit and comfort and they work great for phone calls. Wish they sat a little closer on the ear. The music is not as loud as i would like because of how they sit. They are also very sensitive to the touch. Tends to hang up calls or change songs if i need to adjust them while in use.

I cannot do the AirPods because they fall out of my ears. I love the neck bands but they are big and and bulky and friends think it will cause cancer and strangers would use it conversational piece. These little guys will stay on my ears while running, jumping, and doing sit-ups, (which the neckbands will always fall off.) Sound quality is great as they don't cover your ear canal. Claims to be noise cancellation, but does not work well on an airplane like the Bose QC variety. But outside of a plane, these are great. I can pause my music with a touch and have a normal conversation without taking them out and misplacing them.
Battery life is about 8 hours on each ear so both can last a whole day. I wish there would be a 15 minute warning when the battery is low. It only gives 5 seconds low battery warning and then shuts off. On a phone call, you need to be quick and switch earpieces or else it goes to the handset.

If you have ever experienced "itchy" or irritated ears from airpods or other in-ear earbuds, these should be your next go to.
I have been more curious about the lastest technology coupled with tech that does not deteriorate out health. After wearing Airpods, Airpod Pro's and even over ear headphones, I am more than delighted to say these are my primary earbuds. Moreso, these are my earbuds of choice.
When do I wear them:
- Gym
- Walking/ running out doors
- Store runs
- Phone calls
- Working/ conference calls/ listening to music
They are sweat-resistant and fit comfortably (even for someone like myself with smaller ears). The battery lasts me about a 1-2 weeks with my using them for about 2-4 hours everyday, and they are helping me minimize/erase any future "hearing-related" health damage. If you are concerned about the quality of sound, there is an app that allows you to specialize your hearing experience. These headphones have given me a great experience overall, and I have tossed my airpods in a drawer for the past few months.

Pros:
1) Loved that I didn't have buds in my ears and I could hear the world around me;
2) They sound good, even with one bud in.
3) Better deal than Apple AirPods Pro (Even though you don't get the built-in functionality, etc.)
4) The case: solidly built, USB-C charging and you can get case covers on Amazon to protect it.
Cons:
1) Volume: You can only go so high with it because they're not 'in' your ears, which I get, but when you have to have the max volume to hear it, esp. in a louder environment, that's not ideal.
2) Touch controls: A bit finicky, but I never have good luck with those. I was suspicious of them but thought I'd try them anyway. I accidentally kept hitting the touch surface when I had to reposition the earbud. They're responsive, but I prefer actual buttons.
3) The case: Wireless charging would make it perfect. I understand it'd probably make the case bigger/heavier, but if you can manage it, it'd be great.
Overall, would recommend with the above caveats.

Great Earbuds, but Pairing One Earbud Needs Improv

I’ve really enjoyed using the Shokz OpenFit Open-Ear Earbuds—the comfort, sound quality, and design are all fantastic. However, I recently lost one earbud and discovered that it’s not possible to pair just the remaining one to my phone. This has been frustrating, as I expected the ability to use a single earbud when needed.
What could be improved: It would be great if Shokz could add functionality to allow seamless single-earbud pairing, especially for situations where one is lost or if someone prefers mono listening.
Overall, these earbuds are great, but this limitation is something to consider if you’re prone to misplacing things.

I'm very happy with these earbuds. They sound good, are light weight, stay in place, and are comfortable. Battery life is fine. They are just what I was looking for. I had no problem with connecting to my phone while in the case as some reported. Good quality overall.

I use the Shokz OpenFit earbuds all the time. It’s awesome being able to hear my surroundings and not having to stick two earbuds in my ear. One of my ears is smaller than the other, so earbuds always fall out whenever I’m eating, but with these I’m able to eat, run, or talk and they never fall off. They’re also less likely to damage my eardrums because they’re not blasting sound directly into my ear. The only downside is you don’t get any noise cancellation.
