SHOKZ New OpenFit 2 Open-Ear Headphones, True Wireless Bluetooth Earphones with Microphone, Earhook Earbuds with 48 Hours of Playtime, Fast Charging, IP55 Water-Resistant, with Carrying Bag, Black

I’ve tried different headsets before, but they all caused ear pain or pressure. The Shokz OpenFit 2 is completely different—light, soft, and so comfortable that I can wear it all day without feeling anything. The open-ear design lets me hear my surroundings while I listen to English podcasts, take calls, or enjoy music.The sound is clear and natural, especially for voices, which is perfect for language learning. The battery lasts a long time, and it’s easy to charge with USB-C. It also stays secure while I’m walking or doing daily tasks.I’m so happy I finally found the right hands-free headset. Highly recommend for anyone who wants comfort, quality, and safety in one.

They’re great so far! Very good call quality and BT connectivity. Great charging speed and battery life. Good dynamic sound quality and the EQ controls in the app are a bonus. They’re comfortable to wear even with glasses on, haven’t had one fall out yet! If you’re tired of loosing earbuds or you work with your hands, these are a solid choice. I definitely feel like I got my moneys worth and then some. The app is compatible with my iPhone, unlike some of the other premium options.

I've been wearing Shokz Open Fit for years - since they came out. I love them and use them daily. I'm a long distance runner - half/marathon/ultras. These fit well for walking, running, and just doing chores and listening to audiobooks. They fit my very tiny ears and do not fall off. I find them easy to put on and easy to use. I do not use the taps to change songs or volume and all that - I just use my phone (I'm old school that way). The only issue I had with them is the sound was not very loud though the quality was pretty great with the mic as well. The color is ok but I would love a more muted color that is not black or tan - maybe a dark blue. Just to be different. I set my volume controls on the app as it was easier (and switch between the varieties as needed).The two things that were bothersome occasionally is they did not last for my ultra marathon - there simply wasn't enough charge to go much past 6 hours. So I would have to bring my second pair with and swap out. It's a minor issue but one that drove me to purchase these new one's hoping for better than the Open Air that have terrible battery life. So far these are much better - they seem to hold the charge better and they definitely last longer. I am super hopeful they can go a 7-9 hour ultra with ease.The other issue I had was occasional connectivity issue - where there was a cut in and out. It tended to happen for me around areas that I suspected had more signals (I live near a port) but there were many times where I had to reconnect or tap my phone to make them work. Not sure if that is the phone or the shokz.So far, on these new ones, I haven't used the buttons. I am slightly irritated at their position as getting the headphones out of the case had me hitting the control's which was not a great experience. When they are on that seems to work well but honestly I don't use it often. My big push for these is 1. I lost my black openfit's at my last half marathon and 2. better battery life. The latter the most pressing issue. So far, so good and I highly recommend! These have been a Godsend for me as I run all over, in all sorts of areas good and bad, as I travel and I have to be aware of what is around me. It's not negotiable and I cannot and will not wear ANC devices because of that. These are so very perfect for me!

I've been down the 'Open Ear Design' rabbit hole for a while now, and there's two things you notice right away - since your ear canals are (hopefully) wide open...The sound is like a Bluetooth speaker invisibly floating in space that only you can hear.Pretty cool.Oftentimes, though, that magic Bluetooth speaker seems kinda gutless.Not so cool.Because of this limitation, I have tried to spend my way into something with genuine punch...And this one smokes them ALL. Regardless of price.I finally have the kind of bass response I can live with in a form factor I can reasonably forget about all day. They're on right now because taking them off makes no sense. The damn battery lasts 11 HOURS. PER BUD. No obstruction at all - I can use a Qtip with them on. It's fantastic. And the lows are REAL - usually open ear designs deliver low frequency sound the way sparkling water delivers the taste of fruit - barely enough to notice. Not these. Real fruit juice this time.Could they use a few extra features? Kinda yeah, especially for this price point. I also have a pair of Cleer's Arc 3 Sport open buds (every feature you can imagine but roughly 100 bucks more) - and I would really like to see the Shokz support LDAC, Hi-Res Audio, Dolby Atmos, and at minimum a more detailed EQ setup (5-band feels outdated, like a Sony Walkman from the 90's) - but the Shoks still sent those Arc 3's to the junk drawer by getting the basics absolutely PERFECT - fit, controls, sound quality are all in a class by themselves. If they ever roll out a Snapdragon Sound version of these with all the audio features and a case with a display, It's game over for the competition in the entire category.Multipoint works fine. It's a feature you didn't know you needed until you have it. I come home with these on (paired to phone), leave them on, then turn on the living room TV (also paired) and watch something too grownup for my little kids because I'm the only one hearing it. Dad Mode.Fit is impressive - they are comfortable, low profile, extraordinary secure (I can't imagine an activity outside of Jiu-jitsu or boxing that would dislodge them) and play nicely with both glasses and hats.Sound quality is excellent, and boy am I a snob about that. Actually, I would dive right into the custom EQ and draw a bass-biased Harman curve and tinker with it a little - then it really gets a chance to deliver. This little device uses a dual driver (essentially a speaker and subwoofer in miniature) setup so there's a lot more headroom before distortion creeps in - the arch enemy of open ear designs.In summary, yes these are $180 earbuds... and they are worth every dime, in fact punching above their weight at that cost. I recommend you believe the hype and spend the money. You won't regret it.
