"SUPER AMAZING sound for both audio books calls AND music-much more bass!"


"The open fit definitely sound better though."


"I’m blown away by the OpenFit 2 sound quality ... the OpenFit 2 are much better sounding. ... the sound is MILES better. Great sound for open buds"

"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. ... 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."


"I also forget I'm wearing them most of the time"


"I absolutely love my shokz openfit earbuds. ... I have severe sensory issues, so I wear one 24/7 while I'm awake with an audio book playing to give me something to focus on. ... They are so comfortable most of the time I don't even feel them"

"Battery lasts all day"


"Looonnnggg battery life!"


"The battery life is fantastic as well. ... I'm a bit of a slow runner, and my first marathon time was over 5 hours, and the Shokz lasted the whole time."

"Absolutely can hear everything even when I have the volume all the way up cause I’m hurting doing 1K repeats."


"I like that you can still hear background noise like traffic."


"NOT in ear so you can hear environmental noise very well. ... my Shokz are SO much better for running for awareness alone.."

"I kept feeling them on and thinking they would fall off my ears at any moment, it would distract me from my run."


"They were both sensitive to how they were worn and I couldn’t get them situated for a solid fit without ears. ... It’s because there’s no up or down, in or out rotation with them."


"felt like they were constantly jostling around or going to fall off"

"if it was windy at all the wind interference blowing across the speakers on the open-ear models is terrible and makes it so that you can hardly hear anything"

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

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

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.

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.

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.

I vehemently disagree with your call quality rating. Open dots sound like a reverb far away hall way with no lower tones and thr aero line both clip and fit2 sound way more professional and office acceptable.

I wish you could buy a legit sounding pair of hook style ear buds because I can't wear conventional ear buds because they never stay in, p.s I have a pair of Shokz Open Fit 2 which imo are the best open fit buds and they sound great, I just want ones that actually go in my ear.

I have the Shokz Openfit 2 and I love them especially considering I can't wear normal ear buds because they always fall out and I get ear fatigue after about 30 minutes. Also Shokz make the Opendots One which are supposed to sound even better but they are not available on Amazon UK just yet.

I have the OpenFit 2 set which aren't connected and wrap around your ears. They are FANTASTIC. kind of pricey but I got a bonus earlier this year and splurged. Highly recommend them though. I don't even feel them.

Not having something stuck in your ear is amazing. I use the shokz openfit2 for workouts and runs. They stay put and, so far, the sound quality is decent.

Have you looked at clip-on earbuds like the Soundcore AeroClip or C40i? I haven’t listened to the Nothing Open Ear, I’ve read they’re great but only if they sit exactly over your ear canals. They won’t sound good unless they have a good fit and it’s more difficult to get a good fit with them because they’re lacking ways to adjust them. I’ve listened to the Shokz OpenFit 2 and Soundcore Aerofit 2. I preferred the Aerofit 2 because you could adjust their angle, you can’t with the Shokz and the right one always stuck out more causing less bass on that side. I would also look at the Bose QC Open because they have more bass than any other open pair of earbuds I’ve listened to. If they’re out of your budget, I’d look to Soundcore or potentially Nothing if you can try them on first.

I had the OpenFit and OpenFit 2 through my review program. They were both sensitive to how they were worn and I couldn’t get them situated for a solid fit without ears. It’s because there’s no up or down, in or out rotation with them. The Soundcore AeroFit 2 had a better fit for me, because I couldn’t adjust their rotation on one axis, and sounded better because of that rotation. None of them could compete with the Bose Ultra Open. I have a feeling it’s because their driver is right there and their fit was completely non-slip with me. They’re expensive, lack features like Qi charging, their battery life is below average for the product category, but they’re well built and sounded better, for me anyway, than other open earbuds I’ve listened to. I think the AeroClip come close, but I don’t like having to fidget with them for 10-15 minutes to get the proper sound balance in my right ear.

I noticed more base from the open fit also more clarity and they also have buttons controls over that whole new touch control that was kind of sensitive for the open dots one.

I've got the white openfit2 and I've been using it pretty much daily. Music, workouts, dog walks, even meals sometimes lol, so comfy and great battery. White goes with everything, and it looks cute with my silver earrings too.

Black is kinda plain, so I went with white for something different, but later I realized black is more versatile and never goes wrong.

Have you had a chance to compare with the OpenFit 2? At 200$ for the OpenDots one I’m debating waiting on AirPods Pro 3 and testing their pass through. The type that goes around the ear don’t fit me right.
