Customer Ratings & Reviews

Shokz, the world's leader in Open-Ear technology, just released their first earbuds with Open-Ear Noise Reduction, named the OpenFit Pro Earbuds. They are optimized for Dolby Atmos and feature head tracking. Three microphones are Ai-powered, to achieve maximum vocal clarity, while reducing ambient sound. People hear & understand my every word, regardless of a noisy environment. The sound quality is truly stunning. Bass is accurate & is very strong, thanks to Shokz SuperBoost & OpenBass 2.0, with huge dual diaphram drivers that measure 11 x 20 mm. Noise reduction can be configured manually with the Shokz app, or the Ai noise reduction algorithm will automatically adjust for noise reduction in real time. Ear hooks made from thin nickel-titanium alloy keep earbuds securely in place. Earbuds will perform up to 50 hours of music, or 24 hrs. with open ear noise reduction activated. The case can be charged wirelessly, or with USB-C. IP-55 rating protects from dust, rain & sweat. The latest Bluetooth 6.1 provides maximum stability & pairs 2 devices, allowing you to switch between smartphone, tablet, or laptop. CONCLUSION: Shokz OpenFit Pro is unique, offering Best-In-Class sound, while achieving this with an open-ear design. It earns my highest recommendation.

The Shokz Openfit Pro are an exciting pair of open ear true wireless earbuds. I have really enjoyed the comfort, ergonomics, and the sound quality these headphones provide. As an adult that lives an active adult lifestyle, I’m impressed with how well these headphones fit my daily needs. The secure fit these earbuds provide is perfect for my aggressive sports as I’m able to jump, sprint, and flip. The headphones stay in place, and I don’t have to fidget with them to keep them in my ears or to keep them in place. These earbuds are super comfortable as they rest gently on the shape of my ear, versus pushing into my ear canal. The comfort is noticeable for long durations of time, and I am loving these on my 90-minute runs. The IP55 water and dust resistant capability has been a welcome addition to my active lifestyle. I have been able to go for rainy and snowy runs in these headphones, all while dripping sweat from my head, and the headphones keep on delivering excellent sound quality. The silicone is soft and feels weightless when placed on my ear. The sound quality is rich and customizable with the Shokz app. These headphones are optimized for Dolby Atmos and the clarity and precision is very nice for usage in various lifestyle moments. The open ear true wireless earbuds work excellent at being able to allow me to be aware of all my surrounding environment so that I can feel safe. This proves especially helpful as I’m a long-distance runner that does a lot of my runs in outdoor nature settings where I’m alone with wildlife, so I want to always be alert to my surroundings. This is also helpful in urban environments when I’m running around traffic or other pedestrians so I can hear my surroundings for my safety and well-being. These earbuds also offer noise canceling benefits if I’m needing to block out some of the external noise which I utilize in my office setting in the workplace. I can still enjoy my music but also turn on the ANC to not have to hear my coworkers chatter nearby. There are physical buttons on each left and right earbud which allow me to change volume, pause my music, cycle through my ANC settings, and accept/decline calls. The buttons can be customized with the Shokz app and tailored to what you’d like them to do for you. The bass quality is excellent in a small form factor earbud, along with clear mid and high notes as well. The headtracking sound is amazing as it truly makes the sound move within your ears as you shift your head direction, and it’s such a cool feature. The Shokz earbuds look very upscale and have a nice design to them. They’re not too bulky visually, and they’re very light when placed upon the ear. The bone conduction technology was a new feature for me to use in a pair of headphones, but it seems to work very well. My music is clear and crisp, and I really like the various preset sound settings to choose from. The Bluetooth range works very well for over 30 feet of distance away from my device. Phone calls have sounded clear and the microphones pick up my audible voice clearly so that the people I’m speaking with always hear me clearly and precisely. The Shokz Openfit Pro have a very nice shell/case to be placed inside of when not in use. The case is a QI charging device that helps to keep the headphones operating for up to 50 hours of play time. The case can also be charged via USB-C. The multipoint pairing works well for someone like me that has multiple devices such as phone, tablet, computer, smart TV. I can easily switch between devices and not miss a beat between my devices. Fantastic pair of earbuds for active and casual lifestyles. The sound quality is very good, and I am happy with the ease of use and portability in these Openfit Pro earbuds.

The Shokz OneFit Pro are great sounding open ear headphones that use their proprietary DirectPitch technology that uses air conduction to direct sound into your ear canal without blocking it, allowing you to be fully aware of your surroundings, while having great sounding headphones. They have also added a cool little trick to these headphones, open ear noise reduction. To start, the OpenFit Pro's are extremely comfortable to wear. They hook over your ear to keep them in place, and I barely notice them when using them. They sound surprisingly good. Better than any other open ear headphones I've used, and better than some in ear earbuds. I've worn them for several hours listening to podcasts, music, and watching shows. Never did I feel any discomfort or fatigue on my ears. To be honest, I'm generally not a fan of open ear headphones. They usually sacrifice sound quality for being, well... open. This is the first pair of open ear headphones I've tried out that made my say, wow, I would consider using these on a daily basis other than going out for walks, exercising, or other activities that require noise awareness. As stated previously, they sound great. On top of that, they have an added feature called open ear noise reduction. At first, I was like yeah right... but then I activated it and was surprised how much of a difference it makes. It works very well in areas like a noisy cafeteria, where there is lots of chatter, it cut a lot of that out and allows you to hear just what your are listening to. It doesn't work well, or at all in noisy areas. For example, I work in an automotive production plant, and it is fairly noisy in there, It didn't make any difference, I could barely hear anything, so these would not be suitable for that environment. The Shokz app also gives you access to a lot of features, like sound effect settings like the EQ and Dolby Audio, and you can switch between Music and Movie Mode. You also get access to Noise Control, and can adjust how much or how little you want. You also get a Latency Optimization mode which I love, because I use these to watch TV at night, and I do not notice any lag with the voices or sound. You can also update your firmware via the app. The OpenFit Pro's are also multipoint capable, meaning they can be connected to two sources, like your phone and a TV. You can watch TV, and still be able to answer calls when they come in. The battery life is rated at up to 50 hours total, and the case is wireless charging capable. I do not see any mention of how long the headphones themselves last on a single charge, but after using them for hours on end, I haven't run into a situation where I was remotely close to needing to recharge them.

I have been using Shokz's bone conduction headphones for quite some time now. They are my go to headphones for long days full of calls. But this is going to change with these new ear buds. I have used these for a week and I am simply a fan! Everything about these ear buds is great! Let me give you more details. Let's start with the case. I am not sure what is the case made of but it is quite light, the buds fit in the case without any efforts and it supports both USB-C as well as Qi Wireless charging. It looks very stylish too. There is a button in the case. To pair the buds you put them in the case and press this button for 2-3 seconds. The LED light at the front provides the case battery status. Now coming to the buds, they are light, sit well over the ears even while running on a treadmill at 6.5 mph. There is an extra pair of hooks like things that attach to the buds to give them extra stability. Obviously the open design is my favorite as it allows me to wear these for extended periods of time without any discomfort. There is a small button on each bud that provides the usual controls so that you don't need the phone. I like this better than other earbuds that have touch based controls as the button click is something that I can easily feel and control better than touch based controls. The sound quality is very good. Here are the features when it comes to audio (these can be customized using the app): Dolby Audio Music vs Movie Mode Noise reduction vs Open Mode Head tracking Standard Eq Modes (Vocal, Bass Boost, Treble Boost, Private and Custom) The app also allows: Customization of button controls Find My Buds Firmware Upgrades The app is well designed and easy to use. Overall, as you can probably guess, I really like these earbuds. I couldn't really find a single thing that I don't like about them! Give them a try, I think you would like them too!

I am beyond impressed with these OpenFit Pro earbuds from Shokz. Not only do they have form-factor defyingly good audio, but the just seem to stay on my head and keep the music pumping in situations where my Apple Airpods would have already fallen out of my heads and been rolling all over the filthy gym floor! The first thing I noticed about these OpenFit earbuds is that they just felt different in a positive way. Compared to over-the-ear headphones, I have no sense of claustrophobia while wearing these or troubles with my ears getting too hot (a common issue for those of Irish descent). Compared to in-ear earbuds, these just seem vastly more, as you would guess from their name, open, allowing in outside sounds and conversations and sensory inputs to keep you engaged in your surroundings while working out or just wlking around. The build quality and materials are excellent. Because of the form factor of these wireless earbuds, the case is naturally larger in size than comparative ear buds cases like for Airpods, but it still fits nicely into a jeans pocket or gym bag. Overall, I am so happy with these and glad to have them in my audio product rotation! 5 out of 5 stars easily!

I slid on these Shokz OpenFit Pros (Pros), started some music and walked a few noisy blocks toward the running path. Immediately I started questioning my hearing because the city sounds, the car wooshes, the bus brake squeals, the jackhammers, were all vastly diminished. Open earbuds like the Pros are not supposed to be capable of squelching background noise. I knew “open ear noise reduction,” was a marquee feature of the Pros but I never thought it would be this effective. Even better the audio quality is vastly livelier than my OG OpenFits too. Suffice to say, I think these are winners for open earbud fans. Shokz fame is practically inventing bone conducting “fitness buds” that provide decent audio quality while preserving situational awareness. Things like being able to hear a biker’s bell or an overly motivated pup hauling its owner in pursuit of a squirrel. So, it’s reasonable to question why noise cancellation would be added to buds marketed to provide mindfulness of one’s surroundings as they exercise, a time when it’s all too easy to zone out. But the noise cancellation in the Pros is not the all-encompassing kind found in in-ear buds. Rather than turn off the world it just reduces the background noise volume to a more comfortable level, and it works fantastically. This is not just the best sounding Shokz ear bud I’ve ever heard, it’s competitive with premium in-ear bud too, and more comfortable. CHARGE CASE & BUDS I’ll get into specifics but first a quick introduction. The Pros ship in a sleek Qi wireless charge case. There’s a USB-C charge port too for flexibility (cable included). The case’s battery life is rated at 50-hours which is the equivalent to a roundtrip flight to Sydney Australia, not that you would use any open ear buds on a plane. A small LED at the front of the case alerts the user to the batteries approximate level. Battery level for the case and each bud is also available in the app, which I’ll discuss in depth shortly. The buds themselves pack plenty of power too. While they can handle 10+ hours playtime that’s way more time than I’d devote to any workout, running, or walking session. But I’ve been on 3+ hours walks and they just keep going playing music at 40% on my iPhone 17 Pro Max. The Pros lie neatly inside, secured by magnets so they don’t accidentally fall out when you open the case. Placing them back in the case, these same magnets provide a satisfying pull, snapping each bud back into its home. It’s a fuss and fumble free experience. Pulling a bud out of the case for the first time was a truly sensual experience, something I never thought I’d write about an ear bud. The Pros have a completely difference feel from my OG Open Fits which feel basic. So, on this alone they are a worthy upgrade. The ear hook is silky soft silicone that feels invisible when worn, and the dark gray speaker cover has a handsome, professional look. I’m embarrassed to say I can’t decide if the cover is aluminum or plastic. It’s that well done. The ear hook is both flexible and stiff and fits my Jumbo ears fine. Visually the Pros looks like they will provide an excellent fit on any shape ear. But if do feel some jiggling, or prefer a snug fit, a couple of thin, detachable silicone spacers are included. These snap on to the top of the ear hook A single button on each bud, where the earpiece meets the ear hook, controls playback functions. They are raised and easy to fine even when running at PR speeds. The downside of just a single button for all controls is that this requires multiple click combinations for most transport functions. For example, one click to play/pause, two clicks to skip a track, and so on. Multi-clicks or taps are par for buds and if they work immediately it’s fine. But I find the Pros have a small delay. A couple seconds or two can go between button press and actual skipping to the next song. FEATURES, FUNCTIONALITY, & THE APP Like all Bluetooth earbuds, the Pros pair to your device out of the box, no app needed. However, the full versatility and feature set is only available with the Shokz app (iOS & Android). Naturally, the app tries to get you to establish a Shokz account, but to Shokz’s credit, it’s not required. To avoid an account you will have to play a bit of “Where’s Waldo” to find the “skip” button in (if I recall correctly) the upper right corner. Some of the app’s features, like toggling between ambient and noise cancelling modes, are duplicated on the Pros themselves. But there are a few that are app only. These include firmware updates, multi-point pairing, turning on head tracking and Dolby Atmos optimization, 10-band equalizer and pre-sets, customizing what the Pro’s button taps do, and toggling whether to stop audio when the Pros are removed. Most of these features are self-evident so I won’t discuss them further but, where relevant, I will in the later sections. One disappointment with the app though is button customization. Rather allow any function to be assigned to a specific number of button presses, such as 1 tap on the left for “play/pause,” and 1 tap on the right for “next track,” and so on, it limits the user to just a couple options. For example, a single click can either play/pause or answer/hang up a call. The flexibility here is that you can have both sides do the same thing or set the left for one of these and the right for the other. That’s something but having unfettered customization would be amazing and more useful. AUDIO QUALITY The sound quality on these is unbelievably great, no hyperbole. Maybe Shokz have always sounded this great, and the external background noise was ruing the experience, but I don’t think so. These truly rival in-ear buds at this price level. The biggest differences are the noise cancellation isn’t as deep, and neither is the bass. But, unlike my OG OpenFit, these Pros has some life and a little boom. It’s not house party level so bass lovers don’t get too excited, but it’s still impressive and give me a second wind in the last mile I don’t want to run. Treble and mids are completely on-point. Both sung vocals and spoken word is crystal clear if the original recording was mastered as such. But even Bob Dylan and latter Leonard Cohen sound more discernable. But it’s more than that because these are the first Shokz product I’ve worn where songs have noticeable layering and separation. And that’s without any processing like Dolby or head tracking, features the Pros have but I don’t use when running. I don’t know what sorcery Shokz uses to make these Pros sound usable for casual use too, not just as fitness wear, but I’m fairly certain the noise cancellation plays a huge part. This feature and versatility is just another reason to consider the Pros as dual-purpose. As I mentioned, the noise cancellation in the Pros acts more like a smart noise filter than a wholesale noise stopper. When worn, I can’t hear the bus a block away, but I can hear a bike bell approaching. This not only makes listening to music more enjoyable, but it also allows me to play it at a lower volume compared to my OG OpenFits, which is healthier. I routinely had to crank my OG OpenFits to 70% just to hear them above the background noise. My Pros find home at 40-45%, which is about where I keep my in-ear buds. CALL QUALITY Using earbuds for calls is standard these days but I’ve never found any open ear style bud useful for this functionality, for obvious reason. Despite the Pro’s impressive open ear noise cancellation, it’s not enough to bridge the gap for phone calls. In a quiet room they are fine, but I can say that about ever pair of quality ear buds I’ve owned. Outside, unless used in a quiet place, they make for an uncomfortable call at best. The noise cancellation just isn’t strong enough to keep surrounding noise from being a distraction. Many conversations taking place in a city park setting were hard to hear even at top volume. The other end of the call also complained of excessive background noise too. In sum, this feature is handy for a quick call but avoid for professional chats, unless you need an excuse to end fast. Where the Pros do compete with same price tier in-ear buds for music and podcast playback, they don’t with phone calls. While I’d be ecstatic if the call quality was tops, or even middling, the reality is Shokz true niche is as fitness wear. I have other ear buds and headphones, but I wear Shokz when running because they are comfortable and keep me audibly aware of potential hazards. When I’m on a run I’m unlikely to pick up a call except in an emergency or maybe to order food on the way home. Call quality isn’t something I can get worked up about with the Pros. BOTTOMLINE The Pros are the best sounding Shokz I’ve ever heard. Thanks to its impressive open ear noise cancellation gone are the days when I need to crank my Shokz to hear them in noisy areas. And even a lower volume they sound clearer and more energetic than my OG OpenFits, and even close to some of my in-ear buds. They are simply a pleasure to wear when running. For casual wearers not keen to in-ear buds these may check the box for you too.

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 had to return them because they were very uncomfortable in my ears; I think they were a bit heavy.

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.

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.

After a week and about 16 hours of flying, I am enjoying the new OpenFit Pro. I have been using OpenFit since it was first released and really like the design. The Pro added noise cancellation, which is very helpful. I enjoy the slimmer case design as well, though it takes a different approach to removing and repositioning the earbuds back into the case. It definitely fits better into my pocket. A final parting thought, yes, to the wireless charging case as well. With the physical button, which was introduced in the OpenFit 2, this is a well-rounded product meeting my most important changes.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!
