[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!

Ne supportant plus les écouteurs intra-auriculaires je cherchais des écouteurs légers mais non intrusifs... ces écouteurs ne sont pas à conduction osseuses mais sont à technologie dite "DirectPitch". Ils laissent le conduit auditif libre (on entends les bruits extérieurs) mais le son est incroyablement bon (meilleur que sur les casque à conduction osseuse), les graves sont bien présents et les aigus clairs. L'application Shokz permet quelques réglages (égaliseur, paramétrages des boutons gauche et droit, etc...). Évidement il n'y a pas de fonction réduction de bruit, mais ça n'a pas vraiment de sens pour des écouteurs laissant le conduit auditif libre pour justement entendre les bruits extérieurs. Je possède également un casque supra-auriculaire qui lui possède la fonction de réduction de bruit quand j'ai besoin de m'isoler des bruits extérieurs. La charge de l'ensemble (boitier + écouteurs) est relativement rapide (2h de charge pour aller de 10% à 100%). La boite contient un petit sac en feutre pour protéger le boitier lors des transport. Shokz a sorti un version 2 des OpenFit mais pas encore disponible en Europe... vu les différences technique annoncées je n'ai aucun regret compte-tenu de mon besoin (principalement écoute de la musique lors des activités extérieures et musique de fond au bureau). En résumé: ravi des ces écouteurs, tant par la qualité du son, leur légèreté et leur confort (on les oublie rapidement), leur technologie permettant de ne pas s'isoler du monde extérieur.

nice product. highly recommended

I ordered these SHOKZ OpenFit Open-Ear Wireless Bluetooth Earphones ( Black ) a few days ago, and I have just received my order Today. ; I will begin by mentioning that I already have a BOSE SoundLink II On-Ear Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, which are my Current favourite Bluetooth headphones. And I also already have the Apple AirPods 3rd Generation Wireless Bluetooth Earphones, which I am also currently very happy with, and they’re great for commuting, travelling, and vacationing with. Sound Quality between the BOSE SoundLink II On-Ear and the Apple AirPods 3rd Generation are both Comparable, and both Excellent. ; I only just got the SHOKZ OpenFit Open-Ear Bluetooth Earphones today, so I haven’t quite had the chance to fully put it through its paces as yet. Like the Apple AirPods, it comes with a wireless charging case, so you can charge the earphones on the go ( while the wireless charging case still holds a charge ). For me, the SHOKZ OpenFit Earphones Fit quite snugly, steadily, and very comfortably around my ears without any discomfort. They are quite light-weight, so you barely notice you’re even wearing them. Pairing these earphones is easy, simple and straightforward, and is accomplished very quickly, so you can get straight into listening right away. Sound Quality overall is very very good ! In fact, quite better than what I had initially expected. The audio experience is much like AirPod-style earphones, with the sound being directed straight into your ear-canal. Mid-Range and Treble sounds are very clear and very easy to hear. Bass sound response is fairly good, but has noticeable distortion at the very low frequency notes ( a problem not evident on the more superior BOSE Headphones ) [ Amendment : A new Firmware Update is now available and the update much improves the Bass response and the apparent distortion at high volumes is now almost completely Eliminated, enabling a far better audio experience overall ! ; Very Happy with this ! This brings the overall sound quality up much closer to that of the Apple AirPods and BOSE Headphones ! ]. ; The SHOKZ OpenFit supposedly has a Situational Awareness feature which supposedly allows you to stay aware of ambient sounds in your natural environment ( In fact this is the Primary reason I bought them in the first place ! ), but since I have only tested these earphones in my own room and inside a house, I haven’t yet had a chance to fully test whether the Situational Awareness feature works well or not. If I am using these inside my own room ( which is a quiet environment ) with the earphone volume up pretty high, I cannot really hear much ambient sounds outside of the earphones themselves. ; And like the Apple AirPods, the SHOKZ OpenFit Open-Ear Wireless Bluetooth Earphones are compact, and great for commuting, travelling, and vacationing with. ; Even though the overall sound quality isn’t quite up to the same standard as the BOSE headphones, which are definitely more superior, both the Apple AirPods and the SHOKZ OpenFits are both a lot more compact in size and more convenient to carry - an attribute a clear winner for both Apple and SHOKZ over the BOSE headphones, which are bulkier and more space required to carry. The overall sound quality of both the Apple AirPods and the SHOKZ OpenFits are still really good, and good enough for their compact size and convenience for travelling. Oh, and for those also using an Apple MacBook Air M2, such as myself, then YES, I can Affirmatively Confirm that the SHOKZ OpenFits DO work very well and easily with the Apple MacBook Air M2. ; If you are at home, in private, then the BOSE headphones are definitely the clear winner. If commuting and travelling is your thing, then the Apple AirPods would be the choice for Solo travelling. If you need to be able to hear normal ambient sounds from your natural environment, then the SHOKZ OpenFits is the most suitable way to go. ; For me, I’d leave my BOSE headphones at home, and I’d take both the Apple AirPods and the SHOKZ OpenFits Earphones with me when I Travel, and use whichever is the most appropriate at any given period. ; When you commute and/or go travelling, I would also recommend taking a pair of wired 3.5 mm compact earphones ( like the ones Apple used to include with their new iPhone releases ), as backup earphones, just in case your Bluetooth earphones run out of battery. ; I’ll be happy to say that for people who normally wear glasses or spectacles for their eyes ( like I do ), you can still wear them perfectly as normal and comfortably in conjunction with the SHOKZ OpenFit earphones, without either of them getting in the way of each other, and you can continue to comfortably listen to your music with the SHOKZ OpenFit earphones while keeping your glasses on perfectly in place. The SHOKZ OpenFit Earphones themselves, while they are outside of the charging case, they do Not have an Off switch or Off mode, so if they’re not in active use, you Must return them to inside the Charging Case and close the Charging Case in order for the earphones to attain something like an Off mode or Sleep mode, and retain their charge. ; Oh, and also, I gather you might like this about the Shokz OpenFit : Because a) They’re Open-Ear technology, and b) They have the Situational Awareness feature : If you have your music on either Pause/Stop mode or on Silent mode, you can still hold a perfectly normal verbal conversation with other people without having to remove the Shokz earphones from your ears ( and also still be able to perfectly hear other people talk to you ), and then return to your music and continue from where you left off without having to put the earphones back on again. ; [ Just for the record : I’ve even tried Bone-Conduction earphones, and from my own personal experience, I’d say “ Say goodbye “ to Bone-Conduction technology - they’re absolute rubbish compared to traditional headphones and earphones, including the Shokz Open-Fits, which are clearly a million times better than any bone-conduction trash ! Bone-Conduction technology doesn’t do anything for me ! ] ; For the sake of re-iteration, If we’re talking Shokz OpenFits, we’re really talking compact-ness and Portability ( On-the-go ). If you go out or commute and/or travel frequently, my best advice to you would be that in addition to the Shokz OpenFits, get yourself a good pair of Apple AirPods ( or equivalent ), and a pair of good 3.5 mm wired earphones, and take them all with you when you are out of or away from home. ; The SHOKZ OpenFit Earphones : Are they worth the cost ? : Well, AUD $ 289.oo I think initially is a pretty big ask, especially if you haven’t tried them on yet. How important is your music collection ( and your music listening ) to you ? You weigh up the worthiness, and determine for yourself whether my review and advice here would convince you to purchase them. I took a stab in the dark whether they would be as good as others have reviewed them to be, telling myself that I would not know the truth unless I bought them, and tried them out for myself. So far, I am quite impressed ! ; My final score for the SHOKZ OpenFit Earphones, out of 10 : 9.80 , or out of 100 : 98 ; Two thumbs up !

Echt prima zelfs beter dan ik verwacht had. Ben er super blij mee!

Ik gebruik ze iedere dag en vergeet zelfs dat ik ze in heb. Zo prettig zitten ze
