Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have pretty exclusively leaned toward in ear buds for music if I'm wanting to listen in public or when doing things like hiking or or yard work, for a couple of reasons. One is because while I do prefer over ear headphones for just a superior sound, buds are just more out of the way, lighter, and just more comfortable. The other reason for the in-ear style is because buds that don't offer a seal are often really disappointing, the sound feels distant and weak, low frequencies just don't reach the head as well, and because the drivers in buds are necessarily small, a lack of seal just misses for me. Since I often use them in public though, I've had to rely on a pass through technique to stay safe and attentive. Some do it well, some don't, but none are truly perfect sounding. So I tried these Shokz openfit buds because they promise true quality sound while sort of just hovering above the ear holes. OK. I was skeptical. I put them on, because they have a loop that wraps around your ear like a pair of glasses, which side note, is nice for active situations. The initial feel felt weird. These things felt like they were just sort of hanging over my ears. Like two speakers sitting right in front of them. Nothing inserted, surrounding sounds were clear and normal. Hmm. I had paired them with my phone before, really easy by the way, so I was ready to go. I did download the companion app and the buds had a firmware update right out of the box. I actually appreciate that. It's progress. I got that installed and brought up my music app. Just picked something with a beat because I wanted to see how weak these would be. Music starts and I couldn't believe it. It sounded like they were in-ear, the beat was right there, not at all weak, and to top it off, the app has a fully customizable eq, which meant I could adjust. Here I was feeling comfy with no buds in my ears, clean and intense sound playing for me, and I was able to hear the world around me naturally. Totally blown away. For the times where I need that surrounding noise, these fit right in. These are perfect alternatives to in-ear, and I can see myself rocking both these and my in-ear pairs on trips and activities.

I had the Aftershokz Aeropex Mini which the only negative was the piece that went around the back of my head. So I decided to try the OpenFit. I really like these. The only negative is they lack some of the functions that the Aeropex has. I do t have any issue with them staying on my ears. I like the bone conductive properties and the hours of usage.

The Shokz OpenFit earbuds are very comfortable, even with my prescription glasses on. I put them on as soon as I get to work and I literally forget that I'm wearing them. Great for conference calls, listening to music or podcasts and still being able to hear what's going on around you. Battery life gets me through the work day. No complaints with it, though to be honest I'm not a fan of the beige color.

Love my buds! I can’t have the regular ones that are inside my ears, these work great!

I'm not so sure about these. I bought these because my ear canals are smaller than normal and regular earbuds hurt and don't stay in. I like that these stay on and are more comfortable. However, I've already been sent a replacement less than a year later because the charging case door has these metal spring tabs that popped out. That first set of earbuds also started sounding like crap around the same time. Maybe the volume was too loud, but I would have hoped that they could program some sort of self-protection to prevent that. They're nice, but for the price I would probably try Anker or another brand

Such an upgrade over the wrap around style. Bass is great unless riding a bike or anything that would cause wind noise. Overall sound excellent. You have to be careful adjusting the bud as you can accidently pause the audio and it doesn't always 'unpause' easily.

Great earbuds, Sound is awesome. The only problem I am having is it says will sync to two different sources like a phone, I can only get it to sync to one at a time. No big deal for me though.

Has a good battery life and is very comfortable around my ear especially when compairing to ones that go in my ear. It feels a little loose, but hasn't fallen so far.

Like i said in the title, very comfortable and you can wear for long durations. Sound is good too. You lose a bit of bass due to open design, but i think, its worth it. It also support multipoint

These are great they are flexable and have good sound and are pretty loud. I only wear one at a time and I can still hear out of the one good. They stay charged for a long time also.

These are so light and comfortable I forget they are there. And the audio is clear to the point I don't think they're coming from headphones. Absolutely love these and use them practically all day

The product offers exceptional comfort, with a rating of 10/10. It does not cause any discomfort to the ears, and the sound quality is impeccable.

these are amazing! - They sound great, they last long and they do what they are supposed to... let you hear what is around you w/out disrupting what you are listening to.

Fits perfectly. So comfortable, I forget I have them on.Eliminated the "earbud itch" rash I got from earbud moisture buildup. Not anymore. These allow airflow and transparent hearing to hear surrounding noise ESPECIALLY ones spouse!

If your looking for superior quality like the top name brands out there in the market these are not for you. The sound is fantastic but shokz dominates a market in open ear buds that allows you to hear your enviroment while listening to your music. Saftey is key and when running and biking these are the best and safest ear buds you can get. My wife loves them too for being able to use them srohnd the house and still hear the kids.

They stay with n my ears and are comfortable. Most surprising is the sound. I enjoy them.

Works as expected. Easy to pair and sound great. My wife uses them for running and they stay on without any issues.

Great headphones but for the price the charging case is a head ache, constantly connecting to my phone when not in use, the connection between headphone and charging case is weak if carrying on your pocket, will auto connect at the most inconvenient times.

Very good quality also very lightweight and long battery life

Very clear sound for music and wireless calling and very comfortable.
