"it sounds fucking amazing. ... I was blown away at Best Buy. I thought this was fake somehow like there is no way this thing is producing that bass and that level. ... The speaker is phenomenal. ... At first it was almost too bass heavy; but after an hour or two of playtime it broke in and the mids came alive, without loosing any bass. ... it still sounds fucking incredible."
"DIRAC which is like Dolby sound, so the soundstage is immersive and incredible. ... I could hear the orchestra turning the pages of their music. I could hear the hair of the bow as it glided across the bridge of a violin. It was like being in the middle of a concert hall. It was a little insane for this price range. ... The music had a broader soundstage back then in the studio...they took their time. Tweak your streaming service to lossless quality too, and then close your eyes and imagine the music happening TO YOU. Music should be a whole experience, not a time killer."
"still have quality sound and bass ... With a slight adjustment in the bass on Spotify + spatial sound, the Airpods fly! The bass and quality of the Airpods almost reach the same level as the XM4!"

"I have the ear shape where in-ear headphones always make a loud bumping sound when I'm moving, so AirPods 4 give the benefits of noise cancelling and great sound without the in-ear effect. ... AirPods 3 always fell out my left ear but they dialed in the size perfect for the 4's, they sit perfect and I've never had it fall out or shake loose doing sprints and a full marathon."
"Took them on a 2hr walk with my dog today and had no issues. First IEMs I can actually wear laying on my side in bed."
"after 80+ miles on our last trip, I was the only one without foot problems of any kind."

"I use it for the same reasons and love it. ... I would not consider the regular Apple Watch because of battery life."
"the battery life easily lasts 10+ hours."

"never fall out"
"I had a rollover accident in Jan and did not lose one of them-they stayed on my ears during the rollover!"
"sweat resistant hold via the type of rubber on the buds. ... Water/sweat proof."

"Hated the fit ... the lack of fin/wing to keep them put just made them totay wrong for my ears... Gutted."
"I kept feeling them on and thinking they would fall off my ears at any moment, it would distract me from my run."
"they fall out at the slightest head movement"

"I tried anc in samsung buds pro and immediately turned it off because of cabin pressure."
"The ANC version doesn't do the best job of noise cancellation anymore; I think water got in some of the mics and caused issues."
"If I go at a busy time at the gym I can barely hear my music over the machines making the treadmill even harder."

"First day of having them in for more than a few minutes (about 2 hours) and my ears HURT. ... A longer wear session was too painful though."
"too big"
"the new buds DO NOT fit my ears at all."

"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"
"the wind noise isn't great at 40 kmh. ... The p40is i picked up aren't super great with it. ... they do rather poor with wind noise at 40+ kmh."
"they don handle wind very well."

"But.... the case battery for me has been terrible. ... The battery life on the buds 2a themselves seems good though. ... 2a case and buds would be at 100%. I used the buds for about 20 minutes of phone calls, and returned to the case. The buds were about 92% when I put them back in. After a little bit, I checked the case and it was down to 70%. It used 30% just to charge the buds 8% each. That just doesn't seem right to me. ... I would estimate that using the buds 2A for a few weeks, that only using them for 2-3 hours and putting them back in the case drains the entire case battery."
"the case died like 3 months in and stopped charging"
"Careful with Sony, they have some problems with multiple models, battery drain on charging case, or one of the buds. ... I myself have this problem with Sony WF-C710N, battery was replaced and the problem is not gone. ... Charging case drains after listening and putting the buds inside to charge. ... Instead of 30 hours of listening I get 3-4 at most."
Would anyone recommend the shokz openfit 2 over the Bose?
r/bose • Bose QC Ultra Open Earbuds Review ->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!
r/bose • Bose QC Ultra Open Earbuds Review ->Shokz OpenFit. Waaaaay better sound than the OpenRun Pro. I have both.
r/ultrarunning • What pods/headphones/buds do you use? ->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.
r/XXRunning • Shockz OpenFit earbuds? ->I have the Shocks with the band and AirPods Pro. I use both. I prefer the AirPods with noise cancellation if I’m running at the gym, and I use the shockz for outdoor runs for safety. I personally don’t notice the band on them at all when I’m running.
r/XXRunning • Shockz OpenFit earbuds? ->I love buds that stay outside the ear, no annoying ear pain or falling out. Shokz open fit 2.
r/Earbuds • Struggling to find earbuds that fit my tiny ears that don't cost a fortune. ->Aftershokz give me a headache pretty quickly and I can't hear much anyway.
r/bikecommuting • Are open-ear earbuds the way to go for bike commuting? ->I used aftershokz. That became shokz. Def work, worn for hundreds of hours sweating in all conditions. No drama or issues
r/running • What earbuds do you use while running? ->I run in either AirPods or Shokz OpenFit 2. I run a lot and they are not an issue with sweat.
r/sanantonio • Runners, which headphones? ->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.
r/beginnerrunning • Earbuds for running – struggling with Bose QC Ultra staying in ->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.
r/ultrarunning • Good earbuds for Trail Running? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
