Shokz - OpenFit Series

I love buds that stay outside the ear, no annoying ear pain or falling out. Shokz open fit 2.

I've had three pairs of the Openrun minis over the last ten years and used them mainly for running and cycling. I just switched to the Openfits which are over the ear earbuds so they don't have the band in the back. They are so comfortable I can have them in for hours and don't feel them at all.

I have the original OpenFit and wear them with sunglasses any time I run outside. Never had any problems with it. Wouldn't wear them in the gym tho, I've got noise cancelling earbuds for that.

Just picked up Shokz Open Fit Air, loving the open form factor.

Would anyone recommend the shokz openfit 2 over the Bose?

Yeah, I have the open run bone induction headphones. I love them. But sometimes I want a bandless option and I hate in-ear earbuds. I'm thinking hard on pulling the trigger for the new shokz openfit 2. They supposedly improved a lot over the first edition. Thank you for your reply!

Shokz OpenFit. Waaaaay better sound than the OpenRun Pro. I have both.

Shokz OpenFit 2 would be my recommendation. They don�t fit in the ear but sit on the ear. Get pretty loud and very secure when running. They are very comfortable and even no issues laying on them. I would also say look into the opendots but they will be above your $200 after tax, but go for $199 If you have a Best Buy near you, they should have them on display to try as they don�t go in your ear.

It�s about the same thickness, but considerably smaller, maybe a bit more than half the size of the OpenFit case. It�s also much more rounded, so it fits in a pocket much easier.

I am very happy with my Shokz Openfit 2+. It�s a normal speaker but it's on the outside of your ear. And quality on calls are really good.

Bose Ultra Open are great for minimal footprint. Sound is pretty alright. Abysmal call quality. They do pinch after a while but it doesn�t hurt that much. I�m sure with time they�ll be less noticeable. Shokz open fit 2 are a little more intrusive since they�re over ear hooks instead of clips, but the sound is MILES better. Great sound for open buds, great battery, great call quality. Very comfy. I regularly forget they�re on. My Shokz are my work buds, playing music, taking calls. The Bose stay at home for watching shows and doing class work/exercising.

I tried them on sale for $129 USD a couple weeks ago and I thought they were OK, but the slightest ambient noise completely masks lower frequencies even with bass boost enabled. Not really the product�s fault per se, but the design just doesn�t work for exercise in urban environments. Also the soft rubbery part contains BPAs which is really bad, especially given the friction & moisture that they�ll be subjected to.

i have switched to open air ear buds like aerofit pro and shokz open fit. You lose noise canceling but gain all day comfort for listening to music. My ears don't get sore like with in ear silicone buds If i need noise canceling i just use my headphones

Shokz openfit air are great. �*only*� 100$, great battery life, great awareness, decent enough quality.� Max volume is a little low for them to be my only headphones - they get drowned out by the bus sometimes.� Had a beats pair once upon a time that died the second they got moist for the first time.�

I use several different pairs of shokz. Open run, open fit and open comm. You really can't go wrong with any of them.

I recommend looking into Shokz OpenFit 2. They are on ear earbuds. The hook will keep them secure and they are very light. Due to the on ear style they barely give any ear fatigue.

Shokz open fit 2 are decent

Man I have been through so many of them, and maybe it's just that my ear is odd but I've been frustrated with how they either fall out or bother me after 30 minutes or so.... until I found one built very differently. At last, I'm happy with the Shokz Openfit, because they wrap around the back of the ear rather than trying to be seated in your ear canal. So maybe give it a try if you like.

Aftershokz give me a headache pretty quickly and I can't hear much anyway.

I used aftershokz. That became shokz. Def work, worn for hundreds of hours sweating in all conditions. No drama or issues

Shokz openfit as someone who experienced ruptured eardrum.

I have both the Opendots and Openfit (1 not 2), and I like the sound signature of the Opendots a little better, although I think Openfit is a slight bit more full. Since I don�t have the Openfit2, I can�t say for sure, but I would guess it sounds pretty darn close to the Opendots. In my opinion, the choice between those two doesn�t come down to sound quality (they�re both great), but rather fit and style. Opendots don�t interfere with my glasses at all, so that gives them an edge. I�ve found the Opendots easier to wear for longer periods of time. Either way, you win!

Best Buy sells Shockz open earbuds. They work really well. You can go test a pair out before purchase. Long life too. :)

I run in either AirPods or Shokz OpenFit 2. I run a lot and they are not an issue with sweat.

Shokz Open Dot Runs or OpenFit 2�s are my new favorites. I don�t care for ANC and I really like the comfort. Otherwise I use AirPod Pro 2s or the Skullcandy Method 360�s for in ear.

I'm on my third pair of Shokz (I started when they were called Aftershokz) and couldn't be happier with them.

I got the open fit. I chose based on reviews on YouTube. Music is loud enough on my runs. I wore them for a half marathon and they stayed on fine and I don't feel them at all. The battery lasted through the whole half and had plenty of battery to spare. I can still wear a hat. When I am running outside I can hear when someone is approaching or if a vehicle is near. I love them and think they are stylish and cute. I got the pink ones and they match my ear skin tone. Downside: it's not as immersive as an experience as in bud ear phones. If I go at a busy time at the gym I can barely hear my music over the machines making the treadmill even harder.

I like the feel of my Bose Open over the Shokz OpenDots. But for the few bucks less, they compare just fine. I do find myself using my Openfit 2s the most. Just easier to put on and not in the way as others.

I love buds that stay outside the ear, no annoying ear pain or falling out. Shokz open fit 2.

Shockz OpenFit, great when put an about and still need to react to the external world.

My ear shape sounds similar to yours. I first tried the soundcore aeroclip and also the huawei freeclip, but clip-style designs always feel a bit uncomfortable after long use. I recently switched to the shokz openfit 2+, and I found the earhook design fits my ears better and stays very stable. You could try it too if you�re interested, it might open up a whole new world haha.

So freaking true! I've returned my Shokz Open Air's 4 times. Open Run 1 time. It's so frustrating. I'm thinking about the Open Air 2s. I really like how the neutral colors blends and the ability to really hear ambient noise.

I'm on my 3rd set of shokz, 1st set were actually Aftershokz. love that I can hear what is going on around me. Audio quality taking a back seat is fine with me but they are honestly not terrible.

Big difference. Open run is bone conducting n open fit 2 is over the ear. The mic on the open fit for me is much much better with noise cancelling. Both don�t go in your ears so plus for 8hr work day n the open fit 2 lasts almost all day talking n listening to music etc. open for 2 are much better for phone use imho. I have both n some soundcore models as well. I�ve tried many many different brands

Also keep in mind because it doesn't create a seal, the bass would be severely lacking compared to ones with silicon tips. Did you try previously changing the tips to different sizes?

I NEED to hear these. I�m blown away by the OpenFit 2 sound quality, but want clip buds. Do the OpenDots have the same sound quality? And mic quality?

I use Shokz Openfit 2. I absolutely love them. Really good sound quality while still being able to hear what's going on around you. They are very secure and super light, I often forget I'm wearing them.

I use the Shokz Open Fit, the ones that are separate open ear buds, the sound is much better than the open run models that are bone conduction. They still won�t be as good of sound quality or as loud as in ear earbuds they aren�t terrible either.

I love my shokz and bought them for similar safety reasons. I bought the most basic/cheapest ones and I can�t see why I�d need an upgrade (unless I�m missing something?) I�m surprised at how good the sound quality is. I can�t deal with wearing them in the winter, though, because I get headaches if my ears aren�t covered. So I have some Bluetooth earmuffs for winter which are also not terribly noise-cancelling.

Open Fit 2-Shokz. Over the ear n still loud. For me the best sounding n best noise cancelling mic

Mainly the Openfit 2. The Openfit 2 are very light but the aero fit looks like they might be heavier.

Same here. The OpenFit 2 are incredible. But the clips would be sweet.

Shokz OpenFit. Because they're actually little speakers, so they sound good, they aren't just trying to vibrate your skull. You still get all the frequencies. Very comfortable since they don't wedge in your ear canal, they sit a little bit in front. And they're a good balance between being able to hear my music and being able to hear around me.

3 sets, AirPods pro for work and passive sounds to control incoming noises, i work for road maintenance, shokz openfits for home, need to keep my ears aware for kids, and status audio for loud listening sessions, or listening to whole albums

I have both and like both, I find the open fit irritate my ears after awhile due to the way they sit on them. The open fit definitely sound better though.

I just recently upgraded to the Shockz Openfit 2 and I am so impressed! As someone who usually prefers good sound quality in headphones, these have both the incredible Shockz comfort and fit, the sound quality was really solid as well. I tried the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 headphones recently, and the Openfit 2 were significantly better in my opinion.
