philspiceThe EDIFIER Lolliclips are also a great ear clip, I have a pair and they're my favorite clips. I'm also curious about the Baseus XC1 since it has dual drivers.
SnabbeltaxThis and a lot of open style clip on buds do this, not unique for Shokz open dots. I love my Edifier Lolliclips for the same reasons.
Shokz are definitely the top but very expensive for what they offer. I am very happy with my Edifier LollyClip but the form factor makes it not the ideal sound system. For the ultimate sound quality you need a tight seal in your ear canal or overear headphones. For a range of tests and recommendations check these funny guys. https://youtu.be/rZ_JpxoQ-iI?si=yq0I73HxWMDxC7B-
