Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wear hearing aids, so normal earbuds are basically a non-starter for me. Anything in-ear means I have to take my hearing aids out, which is a huge hassle, and it also means carrying two cases everywhere (one for the hearing aids, one for the earbuds). Stuff like Samsung Buds are just automatically out. The OpenFit Pro solved that instantly. Since they’re open-ear, I can wear them with my hearing aids still in. No swapping devices, no juggling cases, no awkward fit, no pain. They just sit on my ears comfortably and work. That alone would’ve made me happy. But what really blew me away is the noise reduction. I genuinely thought “noise cancellation in public” was something I just wasn’t going to get anymore. It’s not total silence, but it cuts down the background noise enough that everything feels calmer and easier to deal with, and I noticed it immediately. And the sound quality is honestly fantastic. Clear, punchy, and I’m hearing details in music again that I didn’t even realize I’d been missing. If you wear hearing aids and you’ve basically accepted that earbuds just aren’t for you, get these. I’m genuinely excited about them, and that almost never happens with tech.

Before this headphones came out I had the open fit 2 plus and they were amazing very comfortable and easy to use I use the a lot and then this model came out and I couldn’t resist to upgrade and the sound on them is amazing it’s very crisp with great bass, and I am very picky when it comes to audio I don’t want just something that makes noice I want to be able to distinguish between sounds

The ANC is absolutely fantastic for the form factor. The battery life is better than that of other Shokz products (OpenRun specifically). The sound quality is pretty good, but this isn't an earbud designed for the best sound, so keep that in mind. The build quality is also top notch.

After trying 8 different open-ear buds from Jlab, Soundcore, Sony, and Shokz, the OpenFit Pro by Shokz is the winner. The OpenFit 2+ used to be my favorite, but with massive upgrades to bass quality and levels, better connectivity and features with lower latency Bluetooth 6.1, upgrade from Dolby spatial audio to Atmos, smart wear detection, and somehow noise reduction, the Pro easily shot itself into the new flagship of open-ear. While the open style of buds tends to fall short in audio quality compared to high-end in-ear buds, these actually compete with my previous favorites, the Sony WF-1000XM6. They are not just the best open-ear buds, they're incredible buds in general

I have airpod pros and these are way better, i dont like my ears fully plugged, my ears sweat and the airpods fallout. These sit around ear and dont go in yr ear. They sound unreal. Go in the store and try them on at the display you will be amazed. Love these.

Some of the best open ear buds on the market. Great sound and the noise blocking is great. Awesome battery life.

I've had numerous Shokz open ear headphones, and these are by far in another level when it comes to sound quality. They sound 80-90% as good as a pair of big-name over-the ear headphones and that's saying a lot. The bass is like it's never been before, and at the same time, your surroundings can be heard. I love the Dolby Atmos feature. The noise reduction feature is like nothing you've ever experienced before. These are worth every penny!! I used the Shokz app to adjust some of the settings and I will say that is a MUST. Make sure you download the app and adjust them to your liking.

These are a great set of open ear headphones. The sound quality is excellent, the noise reduction is absolutely amazing..I love the multipoint pairing feature as well as the customizable equalizer settings. The only flaw for me is the comfort (EAR FATIGUE). I cant wear these very long without feeling dull pain from the pressure points caused by this device. I usually wear them no longer than 30 minutes before having to remove them due to the ear fatigue. Other than that these are some of the best open ear headphones I've ever owned!

A nice pair of open ear buds. Good noise cancelling feature. Comfortable to wear.

Best headphones on the market Very comfortable, sound really good

I've always worn only in-ear headphones before. But these headphones have completely changed my mind. The sound quality is great, the bass, the midrange. Noise reduction works perfectly, I can hear music on the plane and in the subway.

If open earbud headphones needed an ambassador the Shokz OpenFit Pro would be a great choice. They sound great with excellent detail, balance, and a wide soundstage. Bass is light but musical, more akin to a reference speaker in that you’re going to hear it more than feel it. If you need something that’ll vibrate your ears and offer a strong kick, these honestly aren’t it. But if sound quality is your thing, you’re going to like these. I actually like my bass a little heavy and love these because there’s just enough oomph to satisfy me while enjoying some major benefits of the open earbud design. It’s an area where most open earbud style headphones struggle because the speaker essentially hangs in front of your ear and uses bone conduction tech to transmit sound vs sitting directly in your ear canal. It’s my first experience with this style, but I can immediately hear and feel the advantages. As far as practicality goes, these might be the best “earbuds” I’ve ever tested. The loop comfortably wraps around my ear and confidently keeps the earbud in place. I can actually sprint and shoot ball without worrying about them falling out. And while they’re not as low profile as an in-ear bud, they're stylish and noticeable so I don’t seem like I’m talking to myself when I’m on a call in public. Another big advantage is that since they don’t go in your ear canal, there’s no issues with sweat and irritation which seems to frequently happen with in-ear earbuds. This is huge to me, because working out with earbuds frequently irritates my ears no matter how often I clean them or headphones. The open style makes my ears feel like they can breathe which lends to another great advantage: I can confidently wear both sides while on my neighborhood walks and runs. With other headphones I only wear one side when I’m out and about because I like to be aware of my surroundings. It’s been a workable compromise, but as a music lover I’m so happy to now do my walks in stereo. And despite hyping up the “openness” of open earbuds, the Active Noise Cancelling works well in some regards. It’s an open ear headphone design so there’s significant noise reduction limitations and it won’t totally silence your surroundings, but the ANC does magically reduce some of the noise. Overall, the sound quality is great, the loop and open ear design makes them super practical, and the long battery life assures they’re ready to go. If you care about sound quality and earbuds that’ll confidently stay in place, you’ll love the Shokz OpenFit Pro. SOUND Excellent detail and tonality. Highs are smooth at the top end, vocals sound natural and the bass is musical. Bass performance is generally the biggest challenge for open earbud headphones so it’s impressive what Shokz is able to accomplish here. The bassline in “Hard Knock Life” by Jay-Z comes with just enough kick to respect its presence while staying musical. Same with the bassline in “You’re Makin’ Me High” by Toni Braxton. However, it struggles with the deep notes in Ludacris’s “Blueberry Yum Yum” where the bass is so faint that it lacks presence. At least they don’t overextend and get muddy so they still sound clean - kind of like having a low pass crossover.The sound experience reminds me of a reference speaker and they might as well be with how good the general balance and details are. The open style lends to a wide soundstage that feels and sounds more “free” than any in-ear headphone I’ve tested. It’s more like I’m at a concert hall than sitting between two speakers, which is exceptional. According to Shokz, these were also designed with Dolby Atmos in mind. This would explain why this might be the first time I actually don’t mind leaving Atmos on for music. I usually avoid it because with most headphones the sound becomes overly synthesized, but it actually sounds good here. Turning it off still sounds great and almost “fuller”, but with the Atmos on there’s a certain subtle ambiance that I enjoy. For fine tuning there’s a user adjustable 10 band EQ available in the Shokz app. There you can also adjust the ANC noise pass through, switch between Music or Movies Dolby Audio mode, and customize your controls. Call quality is excellent. DAY TO DAY Comes with a relatively thin clamshell case that features USB-C and wireless charging. The fit and finish are excellent and there’s a little button on the topside of each earbud for controls. No touch controls with haptics here, we get real buttons! It can be a little hard to find at first but after about a week I can feel it pretty quickly now. What really sets these earbuds apart for me are how practical the ear loop and open earbud design is. They stay securely attached to my ears and the open design allows me to hear my surroundings better which is key for when I’m running around at work, are out and about, or working out. The fact that they rest in front of your ear vs inside your ear canal significantly helps prevent irritation issues too. These have quickly become my go to fitness headphones. PROS - Excellent sound quality - Good detail in mids and highs - Surprisingly musical bass - Open soundstage - Excellent call quality - Comfortable long term - Stays in place well - ANC effective - Open ear design ideal for being out and about - Can confidently wear both earbuds while being active - No ear canal irritation - Long battery life - Wireless charging case - Customizable EQ - Well built CONS - Bass is musical, but not powerful - EQ bass adjustments can sound muddy - Can be difficult to find buttons by touch

These are the best headphones I’ve ever purchased. They’re perfect for the gym and stay comfortable and secure during workouts. The sound quality is amazing—clear, powerful, and really enhances the listening experience. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for great headphones for both workouts and everyday use.

I have a few pairs of older Shokz headphones / earbuds that I like, so I was excited to try the newly released Shokz OpenFit Pro Earbuds. This review is based on two weeks of heavy use during workouts, outdoor sports, chores, atv rides, and whatever else I could get in to during winter vacation. TL:DR - If you like open fit earbuds, you will love the enhancements with the OpenFit Pro earbuds. Key features include Dolby Atmos functionality, SuperBoost bass, impressive sound clarity, and lightweight comfort. These earbuds can keep up with an active lifestyle, from the gym to the range, hiking, running, and off-roading, I haven't yet found an activity where these earbuds won't stay securely in place.  Pros: Dual-diaphragm drivers allow for impressive sound clarity. The ear hook stabilizers provide secure fit, even doing plyometrics there is zero movement Super comfortable due to light weight and design of the earpiece  Wireless charging case gives an impressive 48 hours of listening time between charges Cons: Charging case could be a bit more sturdy, already a few surface scratches in the coating Headtracking is good if you are stationary or seated, but struggles a bit if you are moving around.  In the box are the earbuds, case, extra ear hooks, charging cable and paperwork. Setup is straight forward via bluetooth connection, while it's not required you'll want the Shokz app for additional features and function control. A few app features to call out include the Noise Reduction mode which is meant to filter out noisy environments and be able to hear without turning up the volume of the earbud. I find this works in the majority of mid-level noise environments such as commuting and in public areas. The app also allows for EQ adjustments to include standard, vocal, bass boost, treble boost, and private which reduces high frequency sound leakage. You can also customize the controls and what each button press function will do, functions are single, double, triple tap, as well as press and hold, and tap and long press, giving a total of 5 options per earbud. I love this, as I tend to get the wrong output when I'm on a run and trying to find a touch sensor and tap it the required number of times.  As far as performance, the OpenFit Pro earbuds tackle a few of my complaints from previous generations of open fit earbuds. The fit is like none other in both comfort and stability with the included ear hooks. For example, I used them during a plyometrics workout and they stayed in during box jumps and jump squats, no repositioning or moving, plus they don't get as sweaty as in ear earbuds get.  Second improvement is that the sound leakage is minimized, so I'm not sharing the audio with those I'm standing next to. Lastly, the sound is the best I've ever heard out of drivers this small. No, they will not compete with your giant over the ear headphones for immersive sound, but they will absolutely impress you when compared to any in ear earbud on the market today for depth and bass. When I compared them side by side with a top mainstream earbud, I'd say they output about the same range, but I could tell improvements in both clarity and sound depth of the Shokz over the other one. I also am really impressed with the Dolby functionality. I don't use them much for streaming movies, but I find that the head tracking improves how immersed I feel. The sounds seeming closer / further away as I turn my head in relationship to the source, which is fine as long as I'm seated or stationary. If I'm trying to watch while working around the house, I find that it doesn't always get the source location right and it'll feel a bit off in comparison to what my brain thinks I should hear. As this isn't my primary use of these earbuds, I can't complain, as it's one of those bonus features, and the true value for me is in quality audio that can keep up with my lifestyle. Bottom line, open fit earbuds aren't for everyone, there is still some noise leakage and they are a different look than small earbuds. However, for those of us who are tired of readjusting earbuds, losing them during workouts, turning up the volume to hear over the background noise, or just don't like things in our ears, these are absolutely a must have earbud. 

The Shokz OpenFit Pro earbuds are absolutely the best sounding and most comfortable earbuds I have ever experienced. These are open air buds which means they don't go inside your ear canal in the painful way some do. These wrap around the back of your ear and then they sit comfortably over your ear canal. In addition to being comfortable, they feel quite secure (even with my glasses!). The most exciting thing about these is that they have "Open-Ear Noise Reduction", not to be confused with noise canceling (personally, I never want noise canceling earbuds for safety reasons). The way these work is really quite incredible - they absolutely make it so that you are able to reduce the sound from loud, jarring noises and also reduce a lot of ambient noise. Just slide the setting bar in the app to set your perfect level. You can still hear horns from cars and people talking loudly, which I would expect and I want. You are able to turn this functionality off, if desired. So easy to get going with these too. They came almost fully charged - but I topped it off because I knew that with something new, I I would want to try out EVERYTHING. Shokz includes a very short USB-C to USB-C cord for charging and a fantastic thing: these are also able to charge on my wireless charger! The Shokz app makes it so easy - just press the little button in the case and use Bluetooth to pair and you're up and running. These provide you with up to 50 hours of playback when Open-Ear Noise Reduction is off and up to 12 hours with it turned on. When needed, just place them back into the case for a quick charge to get up and going again. The sound? Absolutely incredible! Yes, you are able to distinguish the amazingly beautiful and rich sounds of the crystal clear highs and deep lows, as well as everything in between. That they can do this without jamming the earbud down into your ear canal is really appreciated. With the app, you have options for EQ modes to adjust the sound more to your liking - I personally enjoy more bass. There are 5 presets and you are able to add 2 customized settings. These can be worn separately, but you will not get the "noise reduction" that way, and of course, it will sound much better with both on. I wear one at night so that I can listen to books, or yes, some social media videos, without disturbing my partner, but I can still hear them talk to me. I suppose we could both wear one to listen to the same thing - I will have to try that! A great feature of these is the "multi-point pairing" which means I am able to pair these with up to 2 devices. It knows which I am using to start and they are able to immediately switch between the two. While listening to music on my laptop with the Shokz earbuds, I received a phone call. With a click of the small button on the earbud, the call automatically went to my earbuds and, I was able to answer the call and the music stopped. It was as crystal clear as it could be - no distortion or static. The caller said the same about their experience. A click of that same button hung up and the music I was listening to automatically played in my ears once again. The little function button on each earbud can be used for almost everything - a single press, double, triple, long press, etc. Each is set to something by default. From within the app, you are able to change most of those functions (from the limited choices available) to suit your wants/needs. Perhaps a future update will provide more options for personalization. With their crystal-clear immersive sound and wrap-around lightweight style, these SHOKZ OpenFit Pro earbuds are unequivocally the best sounding and most comfortable earbuds I have ever experienced. They are also great looking - I have them in white and they are so refined looking. I am so pleased with these, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

These are great headphones. You wont regret buying them

I took absolutely no time at all to decide that I love the fit, form, and function of these OpenFit earbuds and that I vastly prefer them over bone conducting headphones (which I previously used anytime I wanted to be able to be aware of my surrounding environment (while walking, biking, or working out). These earbuds are light and airy. Honestly, it is pretty easy to forget that you are wearing headphones at all. ...For me, they are much more comfortable than rubber tipped earbuds that feel isolating. The Shokz OpenFit Pro are comfortable for hours at a time, even when worn overtop of prescription glasses or sunglasses. The experience is very close to simply having music playing from a personal Bluetooth speaker (although without the power due to their small size). What most impressed me (beyond the comfort) is the active noise cancelation (ANC). The ANC isn't as solid as AirPods or over the hear headphones, but because they are so comfortable and light weight, the experience of turning on Active Noise Cancelation with the OpenFit Pro is like being able to adjust (and nearly mute) the volume of the real world. It's pretty wild. Imagine not having headphones on and being able to press a button that makes ambient noise suddenly reduce by 50%. It's really cool. Also quite impressive is the Head Tracking mode. When activated, audio sounds as though it is coming from a specific direction...like it is being performed on stage - or as though the audio is coming from a stationary TV. As you turn and move your head, the audio stays stationary. I honestly experienced music in a whole new way. I felt as though I was listening to a singer who was standing in front of me. The vocals specifically seemed to stay in one place as I moved. Not a needed feature, but very cool and an impressive effect. Bass levels are decent, but feel somehow simulated. When listening in a reasonably quiet environment I actually appreciate how the bass sounds. But, if walking or biking near traffic and city noise, the bass is often drowned out. This style of open-air headphones really isn't for those who love strong bass - but Shokz has done a good job balancing sound with a true open air feel that allows the wearer to still hear and be aware of their surroundings. The fit is comfortable, but slightly awkward in the sense that I never quite feel confident that I am wearing them correctly. And, because they do cover most of the ear canal, it does appear as though you are isolated behind earbuds - even though you can hear the surrounding world quite well. I would like to see Shokz add an ambient noise mode so that they could amplify surrounding voices. Or, perhaps they could automatically mute when the wearer begins to speak (like the Sony XM series). Each earbud does have one button that is very easy to use (once you know it's there). The rubberized button stands out and has a tactile feel along with the perfect location that is intuitive to locate and press. The action of both the Left & Right buttons are easily customizable within the app, but sadly there is no option to fast-forward, or rewind. I absolute recommend the OpenFit Pro. There are a few minor areas where they can be improved, but they are leaps and bounds above bone conduction headphones. They stay in place through vigorous movement, can connect to multiple devices at once, have good sound quality, good battery life, wireless charging, USB C, are weather resistant, and are quite comfortable. So far these are the best at providing good sound while providing a comforatble open air listening experience. Well done Shokz!

The Shokz OpenFit Pro earbuds have impressed me from the moment I opened the box. The charging case is slim, high quality, and premium in feel. The earbuds themselves look and feel high end, and the indicator light system is smartly designed. When the earbuds are in the case, the light shows their battery levels; when they’re out, it switches to showing the case level. Battery life is another standout feature. With the case, I get up to 50 hours of total use, which means I can go days without needing to recharge. Even with heavy daily use, I never worry about running out of power. This makes the earbuds super convenient for travel, work, and workouts alike. Setup couldn’t be easier. Just pull the earbuds out and they instantly pair via Bluetooth. I also love that connecting to a second device is just as simple. Place the earbuds back in the case and press the pairing button. Multipoint done right. Bluetooth connection is rock solid. I can walk around my house without my phone and never lose connection. This reliability makes them perfect for multitasking or moving between rooms. The fit is outstanding. The open ear design combined with the secure ear hook style makes them extremely comfortable and stable. I can wear them all day and genuinely forget they’re on. What really surprised me is the noise canceling. For most uses, the noise cancellation is impressive. Shokz manages to deliver effective noise reduction without blocking your ears, which feels almost like magic. However, I did find that when using my tractor, the noise cancellation was not sufficient. In those situations, I need true in-ear cancellation for adequate noise reduction. Sound quality is another highlight. I didn’t expect this level of bass and richness from an open ear design, but these deliver. Music feels full, detailed, and immersive without sacrificing awareness of your surroundings. I also appreciate the mechanical buttons on each earbud. No accidental taps, and the customization options in the Shokz app are excellent. You get Dolby sound adjustments, head tracking, multiple EQ presets (Standard, Vocal, Bass Boost, Treble Boost, Private, and Custom), multipoint pairing, Find My Earbuds, smart wear detection, and latency optimization. I also use these for work calls via Microsoft Teams and have had no issues. The call quality is clear and reliable, making them a great choice for professional use. For workouts, these are perfect. They stay locked in place, and with an IP55 dust and water rating, I never worry about sweat or rain. The only con I’ve found is that there doesn’t seem to be a way to power the earbuds up or down without the case. It would be a great feature to have, especially for those times when I forget the case. Overall, the OpenFit Pro earbuds check every box for me: comfort, sound, features, durability, and ease of use. They’ve quickly become my favorite earbuds, and I can confidently give them a full 5 stars.

These Shokz earbuds have a bit louder volume than any other open style of earbuds that I have owned. In most instances, I am able to watch movies and listen to music, and have the volume level rarely maxed. The physical button on each earbud is well placed and easy to press. These Shokz OpenFit Pro earbuds do allow for listening to audio with only one earbud at a time. The charging case is made of aluminum and has a soft rubberized coating on the top and bottom of the case. The charging case has the Qi wireless charging capability. The case has a soft closing mechanism, which is better than a loudly closing case. In my opinion, these Shokz earbuds are just the right size, so that they easily fit over the ear, and can be worn for many hours with no discomfort at all. These Shokz earbuds also look quite a bit better on the ear, compared to many other bulkier earbuds. The Shokz earbuds stay on the ears quite well, and they stay securely on the ears a bit better than the type of earbuds which fit directly into the ears. These Shokz earbuds have some of the best battery life of any earbuds that I have ever used. These Shokz earbuds can connect to more than one Bluetooth audio source at a time, in the Shokz app this is referred to as multi-point pairing. I like to keep these Shokz earbuds connected to my cell phone at all times, so that when I am listening to movie or music audio on my computer, then if a call comes in on my cell phone, I can simply press the earbud button once, and this will answer the call. In my testing of these Shokz earbuds, the Bluetooth connects flawlessly to every audio source that I have had them connected to. The Shokz app for Android allows the user to customize the audio with a 10 band equalizer. The Shokz app also shows the remaining battery level of each earbud individually, as well as the remaining battery level of the earbud charging case. I am rating these Shokz OpenFit Pro Earbuds at 5 out of 5 stars, because they are some of the best Bluetooth earbuds that I have ever used.

I must confess I am a fan of Shokz, and I own their OpenRun Pro. This means I am comfortable with bone conduction audio. The Shokz Open Fit Pro Earbuds are different from straight bone conduction headsets as there are small bass drivres that face towards your ear (they dont insert in your ear). This helps enhance the audio, particularly for music, videos, and gaming and it makes a big difference. Setup of the Shokz Open Fit Pro Earbuds is easy, there's a pairing button in the the case and they paired quickly with my iPhone. Once paired, the Shokz Earbuds also pair quickly when out of the case. It's really important you download the (free) Shokz app. Not only for the firmware updates, it also enables some other features including tuning the noise reduction, Dolby Atmos, multi-device pairing, head tracking, EQ modes, and customizing the buttons. There's also an ambient mode setting (which I actually used). Most important though is audio quality. These are the first bone conduction earbuds where I have been blown away by the sound. Bass is deep, audio quality is incredible, like wow incredible, like better than the fruit company white ear phones and in a gym, home, office, equivalent to wearing a headset that covers your ears. Yes, that good. Normally, I wouldn't need an ambient mode on bone conduction but for the Shokz Open Fit Pro Earbuds you do. I also tested the Shokz OpenFit Pro on a flight to Florida to visit the in-laws, noise cancelation isn't great for a plane. Which is the only thing stopping me giving the Shokz Open Fit Pro Earbuds 5 stars. I have the Shokz OpenFit Pro Earbuds paired to my iPhone, but wanted to test second device and decided to pair them to my Switch 2. My partner doesn't like it when I game and ignore them, so figured this would let me game and hear them if they asked a question while they watched TV.... and the Shock OpenFit Pro Earbuds audio is so deep, rich, and great I actually couldn't hear them talking to me (that's why I am actually thankful for the ambient mode). There's a few nuances, volume control is not a slider, default settings are click and long press for volume - although you can customize the options. Also, just for me, the noise cancelation levels at a higher level felt a little weird. But outside of this, the OpenFit Pro Earbuds are amazing. Slim case, USB C and wireless charging, long playback, super comfortable, haven't fallen off jogging or exercising, and I absolutely love them. BTW. If you have used or thought about Shokz before, the benefit of the OpenFit Pro Earbuds is there is no rear headband thing, which is a huge plus if you are wearing in a gym and you need to put your head flat on a bench or floor for sit ups, etc. I also find the Shokz Open Fit Pro more comfortable when sitting, as you can lean back in a chair without the rear band interfering.
