[EDIT AFTER 1 YEAR OF USING: Still using these, still love them! Have had no issues, no degradation of functionality! My original review still stands 100% even after a year of regular use.] I've waited to review until I'd had and used these a good bit to be able to give my honest review and after a month of use I can say that I love these and would absolutely recommend them and buy them again. I have never found a pair of ear buds that don't cause me extreme pain in my ears, neck, shoulders, and head. I've tried all manner of ear buds, from super cheap to really expensive, and these are the first set of ear buds that I can wear all day without any pain whatsoever. It took a little getting used to the way that they fit because they did sort of feel like they were on the verge of falling out when I first got them, but this is just due to a different design than I've ever experienced and they're actually quite secure and not going anywhere. I do find myself forgetting that I have them on and will walk around with nothing playing, wearing them for hours sometimes. Even as a glasses wearer, I don't find myself having any problems with comfort or secure fit. The sound quality is honestly the best I've experienced in all of the ear buds I've tried. I'm super impressed with the bass they're able to achieve, and it is sort of a "sound is in your head" kind of experience. I've used them for listening to music, watching YouTube, watching TV shows and movies, and have never felt that I needed to adjust the EQ. They really just sound great for all uses, in my opinion. I love the way that you put them into pairing mode - I did have to look up a YouTube video on how to do it because I struggled to understand the instructions provided, but it's actually really easy and reliable, and one of the easier pairing experiences I've had. I have a few pairs of headphones/ear buds that are a major pain to pair and fall out of being paired randomly, and I've had none of those issues with these. I haven't had any issues with the touch controls not working right, though I don't use these for running and it seems the majority of reviewers having issues with the touch controls are runners who experience sweat, so that could be why I've had no issues. I'm a stay at home mom who works part time from home and home schools my kid, so my typical use of these is while sitting at a computer working, or while walking around my home doing school or chores. They're not super noise canceling and they don't have the longest battery life but that is exactly as advertised. Being open ear fit they couldn't possibly be noise canceling (though they do actually drown out most sound pretty well if the volume is up high), which is actually what I need in ear buds as a stay at home mom who needs to be able to hear my kid at all times. I don't want to give these a low review on noise cancellation or battery life because they're clearly advertised as not being noise canceling, and also clearly advertised that the ear buds themselves only have a 7 hour battery life and the case has a 28 hour battery life, so it would seem unfair to lower their rating over something that you're advertised before even buying. Maybe in future models they'll be able to increase the battery life, but until then it is totally fine with me as someone who is home pretty much at all times and able to recharge without issue. I am super happy with these, and so pleased to have finally found ear buds I can wear without pain. After years of searching, I finally found a pair that works for me and actually sounds great, too.

Edited with use… and to *try* to be more concise. Firstly, it’s important to note that I am not an audiophile. The primary reason for purchasing these was to use them for WORK (WFH, need to be able to hear clients, have them hear me with no background noise, take meetings etc) with the secondary reason being casual listening at home while I’m scrolling my phone, cleaning, etc etc etc. So if you’re wanting to know whether or not these are Gods gift to audio, you’re on the wrong review! Fit: I’m starting here because it seems to be what everyone complained the most about in the reviews. HOWEVER, I think the fit is absolutely perfect, incredible - all the positive descriptive words. Each bud is as LIGHT as a feather. I needed to be able to make sure I could wear these for extended periods of time without experiencing discomfort… and I have! Since I received them I hardly take them off. I have tried sleeping in them and while discomfort wasn’t the issue, the touch controls were triggered by my pillow so it wasn’t functional for nighttime listening (sleep stories are a game changer). Otherwise, I work in them, I clean in them, I play games in them… everything. They stay in, they feel secure though most of the time I forget they’re even there. More than anything I’m so freaking glad they don’t go IN my ear canal. I have always avoided headphones because I hate the ear canal ones (gross) and the big bulky ones just are not it. App: The app you can control these with is perfect, and I’ll be including some screenshots in my review. First of all, HAVING an app I can use to manage them is amazing. I like that it’s easy to figure out and doesn’t throw an overwhelming amount of options or customizations at you. You can; - Monitor battery life for each individual bud AND the charging case (freaking love); - Adjust the audio to your liking (full EQ customization + preset options like vocal or bass boost); - Set up multipoint pairing. SO happy with this function, I can’t even explain. It took some figuring out though…more later; - And customize controls. This was probably my favorite feature, as I wasn’t a huge fan of the default options and I was able to change the controls to what works for ME! *My ONLY critique, and I cannot explain how insignificant this is in the grand scheme, is that I wish in the control customization that I had the option to switch which ear was volume up and which was volume down. IDK how to explain it other than my brain doesn’t process volume down being on the left side. Maybe throw it in the suggestion box for the next model, which I will definitely be buying regardless. Battery: It’s great. I put these puppies to use, for all the reasons mentioned above. They get me through my workday and an evening of listening to music before needing to charge. I say needing to charge, but even then they’re still around 20-25%. It feels like I get endless charges out of the case, and they charge quick. Audio: Again, not an audiophile. With that being said, I think they sound great. The EQ customization is awesome, I prefer to just go with one of the preset options. On that note, I’m glad they have the preset options and I think they’re great. I have been listening to my music on treble boost with no complaints. Love being able to quickly switch to the vocal option for work. Bass boost at the highest of volumes sounds a little tinny but otherwise they sound like normal headphones. Mic: So far, no complaints. I was very worried about my clients and colleagues being able to pick up on background noise because of my dogs, but I’ve asked several people on the other end if they could hear anything other than me and they all said no. Everyone has said they can only hear me, and I sound normal + clear. Multi-point pairing: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. This was actually a welcome surprise, I didn’t realize they had the feature until I received them. I’m not sure if I’ve captured the full potential here yet or not, but this is a really handy feature for how I personally use them. Being that I need to be able to pair them to both my personal phone and my work laptop, this makes it so seamless. I can easily connect or disconnect to one, the other, or both at the same time if I want. This allows me to toggle back and forth between work and personal activities so easily. It’s so good. TLDR; Get these!

First, let me explain – we’re retired now and frankly spending this much money on earbuds is a little frightening. However, I was having so much trouble with other cheaper earbuds, I decided to take the leap. I have very small ear canals (hereditary), and it’s always a challenge for me with the buds. I’m not looking forward to my husband seeing the bill 😊 But I digress . . . these earbuds are absolutely wonderful. This is my first pair of Open fit earbuds and I’m hooked. Of course, Shokz is now my go to, and here is why . . . • Easy pairing • Crystal sound • Smart Looking buds • Excellent case • Stays in place and comfortable • Ear hooks fit perfectly around my ear • Clear instructions • Pairs to two devices at once – genius • When someone is talking to me I don’t have to remove the buds • Totally immersed in my music as outside noise is barely noticeable • Calls are clear • Range from source is great • Love the beige color • Incidentally, thanks for the little carrying bag-nice touch! (sometimes my purse is not as organized as I would like) I conclude this review by extending my gratitude to Shokz and Amazon. Great job guys!

I've been using these since the first of December and I can say that I love these and would absolutely recommend them and buy them again. The reason I didn’t give them Five stars is because of no pre—warning that the battery is low. I have never found a pair of ear buds that don't cause me extreme pain in my ears, neck, and head. I've tried all manner of ear buds, from super cheap to really expensive, and these are the first set of ear buds that I can wear all day without any pain whatsoever. It took a little getting used to the way that they fit because they did sort of feel like they were on the verge of falling out when I first got them, but this is just due to a different design than I've ever experienced and they're actually quite secure and not going anywhere. I do find myself forgetting that I have them on and will walk around with nothing playing, wearing them for hours sometimes and have even fallen asleep with them on. Even as a glasses wearer, I don't find myself having any problems with comfort or secure fit. The sound quality is honestly the best I've experienced in all of the ear buds I've tried. I'm super impressed with the bass they're able to achieve, and it is sort of a "sound is in your head" kind of experience. I've used them for listening to music, watching YouTube, watching TV shows and movies, and have never felt that I needed to adjust the EQ. They really just sound great for all uses, in my opinion. I have a few pairs of headphones/ear buds that are a major pain to pair and fall out of being paired randomly, and I've had none of those issues with these. I haven't had any issues with the touch controls not working right, though I don't use these for running and it seems the majority of reviewers having issues with the touch controls are runners who experience sweat, so that could be why I've had no issues. I'm a retiree who works part time from home, so my typical use of these is while sitting at a computer working, or while walking around my home doing zoom, conference calls, business calls or chores. They're not super noise canceling and they don't have the longest battery life but that is exactly as advertised. Being open ear fit they couldn't possibly be noise canceling (though they do actually drown out most sound pretty well if the volume is up high), which is actually what I need in ear buds as a stay at home fur baby mom who need to hear my fur baby. I don't want to give these a low review on noise cancellation or battery life because they're clearly advertised as not being noise canceling, and also clearly advertised that the ear buds themselves only have a 7 hour battery life and the case has a 28 hour battery life. Maybe in future models they'll be able to increase the battery life, but until then it is totally fine with me as someone who is home pretty much at all times and able to recharge without issue. My only drawback to them is they don’t give you any pre-warning that the battery is low. The warning that you get is three beeps and they immediately shutoff. They don’t give you any warning to allow you to charge ear piece before shutting down. Overall I am super happy with these, and so pleased to have finally found some ear buds I can wear without pain. After years of searching, I finally found a pair that works for me and actually sounds great, too.

SHOKZ OpenFit earbuds are a total win for anyone who wants great sound without blocking out the world. The open-ear design is super comfortable—no pressure, no ear fatigue—and perfect for staying aware while running or commuting. Sound quality is surprisingly rich for this style, with clear vocals and decent bass. They stay secure during workouts, handle sweat like a champ, and the battery life easily lasts through the day. I also love the easy-to-use controls and how smoothly they switch between devices. If you’re looking for earbuds that combine comfort, awareness, and solid audio, these are worth every penny!

Out of the box, this would be 5/5 starts however over time there is a dimensioning of return on the product's functionality. Pros: Feels really comfortable and at times I don't even feel them in my ear Sounds better than my old Beats air buds Great for jogging, stays in ear Great for people who need the loop over the ear because for whatever reason no wireless ear buds will stay in without them Cons: I've had issues overtime with pairing and left earbud charging The playback has never been 24 hours as advertise. My experience almost a year later: At first these worked great out of the box. I was honestly amazed at the sound quality, how comfortable they were and how easy it was to set up. However at the tail end of my first year, I had issues with the buds synching to my devices. I could never get the flashing yellow lights to appear and synching was a pain that would take upwards to 10 mins. I recently ran a marathon and the buds died 4 hours in right before I finished. Additionally, at times, I would securely put both my earbuds in to charge and somehow the next morning find out that one is completely dead. Customer Support: I was able to tell Shokz about my problems and they did offer to send a replacement free of charge. I may have had a flawed product but I do warn anyone that buys this that quality may suffer over time.

I have loved my Plantronics BackBeat Fit buds for 8 years. While I am not an aficionado, I do appreciate and enjoy good sound quality, which is the main reason I kept the Plantronics for so long... I tried a few other brands over the years, but none of them could outperform the Plantronics. Until these Shokz OpenFit. Though the Shokz are not IN ear buds (like the Plantronics), they are still warm and rich, and full of bass, even set to the standard EQ. The very BEST thing about the Shokz, though, is how comfortable they are. Seriously, I forget they are there. And, they stay put! I have tried shaking my head back and forth at all angles of tilt, and they don't budge. The open ear design of these is perfect for me, as I like to experience my music while still maintaining a connection to ambient sounds. I love to cycle and hike, especially. These buds, and the speakers, do not cover your ear canal at all. They rest above that, but still deliver full, satisfying sound. I like to listen to many styles of music from dub/reggae to jazz and classical. They all sound terrific through the Shokz, again, even with no tweaking of the standard EQ. With the jazz, cymbal sticking is crisp and clear, and every nuance on the snare and toms comes through richly. Guitar, keyboards, sax - all rendered excellently. Classical music sounds clean, warm and vibrant. Dub drum and bass is punchy - plenty deep for me, and if I want more, I have the option of boosting the bass with an EQ preset, or with a manual adjustment. Touch controls on the buds work well to play/pause music, accept a call/hangup, and FF or REW a track. Unfortunately, there is no volume control on the buds. It's the only minor drawback that I can think of. The Shokz app is a nice touch, too. Overall, I can say within two hours of owning and using these, that they are fantastic. They make me want to use them!

Overall, these OpenFit Headphones are nice to use when exercising, as they allow you to hear your surroundings while listening to music at the same time. That said, I’ve noticed a few downsides: 1. There seems to be significant phantom battery drain when not in use. If I don’t use them for over a week, the battery level is often very low—or sometimes completely drained. I also own a pair of the SHOKZ OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction Headphones and this model doesn't have this issue. 2. Because these hang directly off the ears (compared to OpenRun Pro wraparound design), I find them less comfortable for longer wear—anything over 1–2 hours can get uncomfortable. 3. Perhaps a personal preference, but I find the sound quality of OpenRun Pro bone conduction headphones to be better than these open-fit designs. 4. The OpenFit earhooks are less stable (compared to the wraparound design of the OpenRun Pro) and can shift especially when running or doing fast movements. Overall the OpenFit is convenient, easy to pack up in a small bag, and useful while exercising. However, I personally prefer the OpenRun Pro for the comfort, stability, and sound quality.
