Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have had the SHOKZ OpenFit Pro open-ear true wireless earbuds for about a week now, and holy cow, what an experience. I have used other open-ear earbuds before, but these take the cake. Right out of the box, the sound felt right. It was almost like having traditional earbuds in. The lows were deep and solid, the mids flowed nicely, and the highs were crisp and clear. I love the open-ear style because it feels far more immersive to me, and these absolutely deliver. Pairing was instant with zero Bluetooth issues. Even though they sounded great out of the box, I downloaded the app and was blown away by how much customization is available. There are several EQ presets to choose from, including Standard, Vocal, Bass Boost, Treble Boost, Private, and Custom. Bass Boost ended up being my sweet spot. The Private mode is also very cool, as it reduces audio leakage even though these already do a great job keeping sound directed toward the listener. I was pleasantly surprised to see both Transparency Mode and Noise Reduction Mode included. The noise reduction can be set to Reduce, Default, or Enhance. Even with an open-ear design, the noise reduction works surprisingly well. One standout feature is Dolby Atmos, which sounds fantastic. Even better is the Head Tracking mode. It takes about ten seconds to set up, and once enabled, it feels like the music is locked in a stationary position while your head moves around it. It genuinely feels like being at a concert with directional speakers. Pro tip: try listening to your favorite music while slowly spinning around in an office chair. It is mind-blowing. The control customization is another huge win. Each earbud has a button that can be programmed for single click, double click, triple click, press and hold, or single click plus long press. That is a ton of flexibility. Fit has been perfect for me. No wiggle and no risk of them falling out, even when shaking my head and trying to make them move. There is a silicone adapter included for a tighter fit if needed, but I did not need to use it. The charging case is excellent. I love the flat, smooth design. It is slightly larger in length and width than some other earbud cases, but the slim profile makes it easy to slide into a pocket. The matte finish feels fantastic in the hands. The snap when closing the case is also not that loud, which is a win for me. Charging is supported via USB-C or wireless charging, which is a big plus. Overall, I am extremely impressed with everything these earbuds offer. Sound quality, customization, comfort, and build quality are all top-tier. These are now my go-to versatile earbuds. They are perfect for running when you need awareness, working in the office, commuting, grocery shopping, traveling through airports, or relaxing at home while listening to lo-fi hip hop as I write this review. Shokz absolutely nailed it with the OpenFit Pro. I am blown away by these earbuds and would recommend them to literally anyone.

I’ll start by saying that I am a runner and I have been using Shokz products since they first came out and were called AfterShokz. They changed the game for me as far as listening to music while I run. I run 100+ miles per month plus log a few hundred miles per year in walks/hikes. Shokz offers the best combination of music (or spoken word) and safety for active people. They have gotten to the point where they are popular beyond use in activity though. People like Shokz for use at any time and the OpenFit Pro Earbuds will appeal to even more people. When I first got my Shokz OpenFit Pros I was blown away by the newest feature, ANC - active noise cancellation! I never thought this was even possible with open ear headphones and I had never even heard of the concept before. Now I do want to temper my enthusiasm with some reasonable expectations. These are still open earbuds so ANC will not be as effective as in-ear or over-ear headphones. What they do though is tone down the noise around you. I live right in the middle of downtown in a mid-sized city and I have used these on all my runs and walks for the past couple weeks. The OpenFit Pros reduce car (and other misc) noise by about 30-40% in my estimation. It is just enough to take the edge off the noise of traffic as I walk along the road, but I still am aware of cars coming and going. It really feels like the sweet spot between an “ambient mode” (which is microphones picking up surrounding sounds and playing them in your earbuds) and pure ANC -which could make you miss the sound of a car approaching altogether. The sound quality is really good for open ear earbuds. Certainly not what you get from Apple, Bose, or others, but these are much safer than the other brands. Each set of Shokz headphones I’ve had (and there have been at least 5-6), the sound has gotten better and better. These Pros replaced my OpenFit 2’s and I do think the sound quality is better in the Pro’s. The new Shokz have added some EQ modes. It’s not a full-on equalizer, but you can boost bass, treble, vocal, along with a few other options. They also added a slider for Dolby Atmos. Now I am not an audiophile but it does sound a bit more crisp. The app also includes options for multipoint bluetooth pairing, smart wear detection, find my earbuds, and settings to customize controls on the earbuds. There is even a slider to adjust the amount of noise cancellation. When I was using the OpenFit 2 I had an issue with the charging and the case, but the Pros have been perfect so far and the case seems like a higher quality and better design. I don’t anticipate any issues going forward with the Pros. I’d recommend these earbuds to anyone who wants to listen to some kind of audio playback while still being aware of their surroundings, someone who wants the best audio quality that open ear earbuds can offer. The OpenFit Pros really are in a class of their own. They offer both great sound and noise reduction.

These earbuds are excellent. We were looking for something that had ear clips, that didn't stick inside the ear canals, had good battery life, were built well, had good sound quality, easily connected to the phone or other devices. These pretty much checked off all of those things, or, as close as we found with every other item we checked out. First, The battery life is amazing! They last all day without having to be charged, and then they charge quickly. Second, the clips hold them in place well. They stay put through normal daily work and also through the gym workouts. The clips' coating is soft, but they're pretty solid without being painful. Third, the sound quality is pretty good. For an open ear device, the sound gets pretty loud and can be adjusted using the Shokz app. Fourth, they have physical buttons to do all the functions. We have other Shokz earbuds that utilize touch functions, and we preferred actual buttons for these ones. Fifth, Shokz offer pretty good customer support. They always have a 1 year warranty on their devices, and if anything goes wrong with their devices, we've always had good luck with them sending us replacements within that year. Overall, we recommend these. We tried a few others, including the Anker-branded ones, which are good if you're on a tighter budget, but they didn't compare to the Shokz overall quality of materials and technology.

I’ve tried and reviewed many different types of headphones, and this is my first experience with Shokz, and I’m honestly very impressed. I wasn’t very familiar with the brand at first, so I did a bit of research and found that they’ve been around for several years and are especially well known for their open-ear, bone-conduction designs. As someone who enjoys running outdoors, these headphones are an excellent choice. The build quality is outstanding, they look and feel premium while remaining very lightweight. Once worn, you barely notice them, and they’re well constructed to withstand sweat and water without any issues. The charging case has a sleek, rounded design with an off-white and gold color combination that gives it a modern, elegant appearance. Removing the headphones from the case is effortless thanks to the magnetic design. The case supports wireless charging and can also be charged using the included USB-C cable. Battery life is another strong point. You can expect up to 50 hours of playback, or 24 hours with noise reduction enabled. The charging case provides an additional 12 hours, for a total of up to 64 hours with noise reduction turned off. Setup is quick and simple, just pair the headphones to your phone via Bluetooth and download the Shokz app. Through the app, you can update the firmware and customize various settings. When it comes to sound quality, these headphones truly impressed me. The audio is extremely clear with surprisingly deep bass for an open-ear design. The fact that they deliver such powerful sound while remaining open-ear is impressive. One of their biggest strengths is the ability to enjoy clear music while still being aware of your surroundings, without the outside noise overpowering the audio. Call quality is equally impressive as well. Voices come through clearly on both ends, making conversations easy and natural. They also support immersive audio features like Dolby Atmos, and the head-tracking technology really stood out. The way the sound shifts with your head movement is incredibly accurate and adds to the overall experience. Overall, the OpenFit Pro is one of the best open-ear headphones I’ve tried, no doubt. With premium build quality, ease of use, and excellent sound performance, they’re a fantastic option for active individuals who enjoy the outdoors while staying aware of their surroundings. In the box, you’ll find the headphones, charging case, USB-C charging cable, user manuals and warranty card.

I love these! I was immediately impressed. Tremendous sound, great volume, extremely comfortable fit, and long battery life make this an ideal earbud. For what it's worth they are also water resistant so if you're a heavy sweater they won't short out. I wasn't happy with my recently purchased Powerbeats Pro2 as the sound was too tinny with no base. But, I needed an over the ear fit as I'm a competitive runner. I listened to the Shokz at the urging of another in-store customer as he relies on the superior noise cancelling. Its the only earbud his employer allows him to wear. I highly recommend them!

I have owned these for 2 weeks. I got them in white so I can locate them in my bag quickly. They are very comfortable and fit better on my ears than the Shokz - OpenFit 2+, staying more secure on my ear. I only use these for weight lifting and while walking around in normal daily life. I have not gone on any lengthy runs with them. The noise reduction mode works quite well. They are open ear so obviously noise isn't eliminated, however I was at an indoor high school state meet and it was quite loud, but when noice cancelation was on the announcements as well as cheering were all brought to a muffle in the background. I like that it provides a button for controls. The battery life is great. I don't have continuous music or podcasts playing, but I can keep them on for hours without worrying about the charge. My only annoyance currently is that occasionally play back will pause. This happens even when head tracking is turned off. I have been looking into how to prevent this along with random beeps, which I have seem multiple articles highlight. If I can get these issues sorted, I would rate these 5 stars. They are a little pricey, but I would be more likely to use these over the OpenFit 2+.

Love sound, bass, noise reduction. Best out there, even at full price. I own a number of open earbuds. I was searching for the perfect all-day wear buds. My criteria seemed simple, yet impossible. I wanted: comfort, full soundstage with bass, long battery life, and the ability to be aware of my surroundings outside and around the office throughout the day. I wasn't looking for noise reduction, because I didn't even consider it possible with this style of earbud, but these delivered the impossible. The comfort, bass, battery life, and noise reduction are nothing short of top tier. These are the ones to beat. To top it off, the build quality is in a league of its own, both for the earbuds AND the metallic, soft closing, wireless charging case. If you want the best, these are those.

Very impressed with the latest open earbuds from Shokz. I have owned the first 2 generations of Shokz OpenEar buds… and these are a significant improvement in every way. Sound quality, fit and feel, and now noise reduction are all clearly better. Regarding sound quality, IMO they are closing in on Apple Earbuds Pro - and in fact, on certain recordings these new buds due to the sound stage sound better. Quite an accomplishment for open ear buds - simply amazing for an open ear design. The case quality is also very impressive - again another significant improvement. The noise reduction is good - but not at the same level as in ear buds. But for open ear buds, the noise reduction is impressive. Battery life is extremely good too. All in all, I can highly recommend this product - even for those that are not runners or those athletically inclined.

I really appreciate the comfort of my Shokz. They have amazing sound and allow me to still be aware of my environment. The noise cancellation is really good for open ear. Its not meant to cancel out noise completely but it will lower sounds around you so that you are able to enjoy your media better in loud environments. The bass is really nice as well. I love the battery life on them as well. They charge really fast so im able to enjoy my music or podcast within 10 minutes of the battery dying.

The sound quality is excellent and the noise reduction is great for open-ear buds. Don't expect the same noise cancelation as in-ear buds or over the ear headphones, but for open-ear there's is a noticeable difference. Almost no ambient sound when audio is playing, depending on how loud it Is. They are super comfortable, I sleep with them on and they never fall off. The battery life is great, especially with noise

To start out; they are packed with features that may make them worth the price if you have the money to spare. Here are some pros. 1. They are open ear and sit on the outside of the canal. This gives them an impressive soundstage, and no reverberation. This also means they don't stick in your ear and produce that kind of discomfort or muffling in ears would. They also allow all external sound in, allowing you to hear clearly, but. 2. There is also active noise cancellation, which other open ear buds don't. This is purely done through the microphones and sound processing and does a good job reducing the volume of quiet or medium level sounds in your environment, particularly in the bass or low midrange. They do not physically block sounds, or seal the ear in any way and are completely ineffective as hearing protection. They should only by worn if the external volume level is already quiet enough for your comfort. 3. They come with a built in Dolby Atmos fracture that can improve the directional cues of your audio. It is really good at improving the immersion in certain music that might lack depth in its raw audio. The buds also have motion tracking that can help prevent the audio from "following you around" as you turn your head. 4. There is also a built in ten band equaliser, as well as built in presets and the option to save two presets of your own. They also have proper multi-band compression, allowing fairly high volume output without any frequencies being distorted. Over all, the audio quality is pretty impressive and accurate; however I personally think the way they compress the sound at varying volume levels, as well as their implementation of super bass holds them back a lot. There are also audible spikes and dips in the spectrum that can't simply be fixed just with the built in EQ. Some of the most noticable are around 3khz. I love how strong the bass is in these buds; however I find it to sound muddy and overemphasized in the higher bass regions, and they don't utilize the compression in the deeper bass much while there is definitely some potential there. While they are not the most neutral sounding buds; they are impressively accurate and distortion less making them pretty good headphones even for critical listening, though you may need to spend time equalizing them to make the most out of it.

I’ve been blown away by these headphones. I’m a lifelong AirPod wearer. I still have my Pro2’s, but they are honestly backups to the outstanding Shokz Openfit Pros headphones. I read tons of great reviews and was still skeptical. But they are super comfortable. I do not miss the pressure of having in-ear headphones, as I wear mine literally eight hours a day. What I was truly skeptical of was the noise canceling function. However, I can report that they work as good and probably even better than the AirPod Pro. The noise canceling on my Shokz was so good that my daughter had to shake me to get my attention while reading at a Starbucks last week. She said she had called my name quietly several times and I couldn’t hear a thing. Yet, they are still safe for workouts and walking/running. I love these things. I just wish the aftermarket had already made a protective case cover for the carrier. The charger/carrier provided by Shokz is super slippery. I’ve dropped it twice already. And because it is wider than an AirPod Case, along with being slippery, having no grip and made of super flimsy plastic, the case is super easy to break. I’m sure they will come up with a protective cover at some point, but that should’ve been ready to go as soon as they went on sale. That’s my only grip. These are straight up 10 out of 10 headphones!

The Performance The Shokz OpenFit Pro completely changes the game for anyone who hates the "plugged-ear" feeling of traditional buds. The audio quality is surprisingly rich for an open-ear design—you get punchy bass without losing your connection to the world around you. The Active Noise Reduction does a solid job of cleaning up background hum during calls, making them my go-to for both outdoor workouts and office multi-tasking. The Fit & Comfort Note When I first started wearing these, I noticed a bit of a learning curve for my ears. If you wear silicone accessories (like eyeglass grips or mask straps), you might feel some pressure behind the ear after a couple of hours. However, don’t give up on them too fast! After about two weeks of consistent use, that discomfort completely disappeared. It seems like there is a "break-in" period where your ears adjust to the hook. Now, I honestly forget I’m even wearing them—they feel weightless. The Verdict If you prioritize safety, situational awareness, and ear health, these are the best on the market. They are incredibly stable during high-intensity movement, and once you get past that initial 14-day adjustment, the comfort is unmatched.

These are literally the best open ear headphones on the market. I was able to get them a few weeks ago rarly, and i must say the sound on these are amazing. Perfect at around 30%. The noise reduction feature is an added bonus, but you wont really need ti use it. They are comfortable, and stay in okace without worry. Definitely worth the price.

They're mostly comfortable, the battery life is good so far and the sound is good. I think Bose's open earbuds sound better but these aren't as prone to falling of whilst working and they have a much better battery life which keeps them in use more often. My one gripe is that the app refuses to connect to them so I haven't been able to use all the features of the buds. I wish these companies would just put buttons on them so the features could be turned on without the app.

Finally, open fit earbuds I don't have to insert into my ear canal! I will use regular earbuds, but if I can avoid them, I would (I have a condition that I would produce quite a bit of ear wax), however any other over the ear or bone conducting ones I have tried on the past, didn't have that good sound quality. Not these guys. The sound quality is amazing, clear and don't leak much outside for people to listen to what you are. They come in a nice charging/carrying case (which can be charged wirelessly or via type C USB cable). Pairing was super easy, just opened the case and they were in pairing mode and paired with my phone. Downloading their app is recommended as they issue firmware updates there (there was one) and also you can further customize them. You can see their battery levels in the app, turn on or off noise reduction mode (kind of ANC) and it does work well, it does reduce outside noisy, however it does introduce a little bit of white noise in its default setting (you can tune it). You can also turn on Dolby audio head tracking (I find this one good for movies or games, but don't like it for music). You can also change sound modes (there is a privacy one in case you want more privacy and no one listening in). You can fully control them with the app, however each one have a little button you click for quick commands (like turn on or off noise canceling, volume up and down, answer and hang up calls etc.). I do like they support multipoint pairing, so I can have them paired to my phone and also to my computer (which does have Bluetooth). If you misplace them, the app will also help you locate them and it has smart wear detection, they will enable once you put them on your ear. Ear fit is great and they go around your ear lobes and the flat part just rests on top of your ear canal. By default the fit was great for me, but YMMV and so they include a couple of comfy silicone inserts to make them tighter if they are too lose for you. Sound quality is great, clear and great for not being inside the ear canals. These are my new favorite ones and I use them all the time, no more putting stuff inside my ear canals and goodbye to ear wax on my earbuds!!

These are hands down the best open ear headphones I’ve owned. Battery life is great. I use throughout an entire work day without having to charge. Calls are decent and sound better than others I own. Mic quality is much better than the Bose ultra open, and the JVC nearphones. Sound quality wise it beats most other open style I own (JBL sound gear sense, the two I mentioned above, Shokz openswim pro, suunto’s attempt, JLab flex open, soundcore c40). The only drawback is I have a weirdly shaped right ear that is lower and as a result I have to position it just right or it slips. Noise reduction actually works ok for wha it is. It is not going to be as good as anc on over ears or in ears, but it helps a little in noisy environements. All in all, if these fit your ear they will be solid. Don’t expect to sound as good as the best in ear or over ears, but they are competitive with many headphones.

I’ve been using the Shokz OpenFit Pro for a couple of weeks now and honestly they’ve surprised me. These things are so comfortable — I can wear them all day without that ear-fatigue you get with in-ear buds. The open-ear noise reduction really does make a noticeable difference in busy environments without blocking your surroundings completely, which is wild for this design, and people generally can’t hear what I’m listening to. I also dig how clear and natural calls sound thanks to the triple-mic setup.  That said, they still can’t compete with true in-ear ANC for total isolation, and on calls in windy or loud places I do wish the voice isolation was a bit tighter. Music and podcasts sound full and balanced for open buds, but if you’re after deep, immersive bass you’ll know the trade-off here. Overall, though, they hit a great sweet spot of comfort, situational awareness, and better-than-expected sound.

Purchased mostly for working out at gym. In-ear earbuds always slowly slip out when sweaty and reduce the sound quality as it happens. Some (like Beats) have hooks or fins but sadly don't sound good enough imo (super picky about my music). After trying so many lately (Airpods pro 3, Bose, Beats, Soundcore, Earfun, Sony) I had settled on the Soundcore Sport X20 but even those did not stay secure enough during bench pressing and they lost sound quality while lying back. Recently upgraded to the Soundcore Aerofit 2 Pro and they are pretty amazing. Sound REALLY good and stay put! Was hoping for even a bit more incredible sound based on the reviews so I went with these, and while I have to agree the sound is pretty phenomenal...AND the fit is secure in the gym...the noise "reduction" is sadly not enough for the gym. The clanking, music, and other noises are way too audible even with the noise reduction on forcing me to turn up the music to dangerous levels. I REALLY wanted to love these, and in my house I thought for sure I'd found them, but at the gym they lost out to the $100 less Aerofit 2 Pros which have MUCH better noise cancelling and, for now, are the gym winners!! No qualms recommending these though if you don't need solid noise cancelling, as they are the most premium open style earbud I've ever heard!

Very comfortable and secure fit. These are the only headphones I've been able to use for workouts that don't fall out. Also very useful for work due to the open ear design. sound quality is great and very similar to my Bose
