"I had a rollover accident in Jan and did not lose one of them-they stayed on my ears during the rollover!"
"I wear glasses and they feel like they aren't even there. ... The only reason I know that they are on is that I can hear music in my ears."

"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."
"The battery lasted through the whole half and had plenty of battery to spare."

"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.."
"could still hear my surroundings ... Listened to an audiobook during a windy 5k with no problems"

"You can also hear everything else that is going on around you so quite often whatever you are listening to is drowned out by external noise."
"the slightest ambient noise completely masks lower frequencies even with bass boost enabled. ... the design just doesn’t work for exercise in urban environments."
"If I go at a busy time at the gym I can barely hear my music over the machines making the treadmill even harder."

1454kb 1.0I couldn't find that many opinions online so I thought I'd throw in my two cents. A bit of background, I'm a bit of a headphone enthusiast but nothing crazy - my main headphones are the the HD650, HD620s, and previously the AKG K701. I use the Etymotic er3xr on the go in addition to some random wireless Sony bluetooth earbuds. I also have the Bose QC45. I bought the OpenFit 2+ as an upgrade over the OpenFit Air which I currently own as a pair of cheap(ish) open headphones for situations where I'd like to hear the environment outside. To be honest the old OpenFit Air are kinda bad but they are cheap and are tolerable for some background music. The OpenFit 2+ are a substantial improvement and actually provide decent sound quality. Overall I'd describe the sound signature as being overall pretty well balanced and slightly V shaped with plenty of treble sparkle. The treble resolution isn't amazing but it's hard to fault given the category doesn't have that many contenders. The sub-bass rolls off a little as well which is expected for this form factor, but bass extension is surprisingly good. Soundstage is good, reasonably wide, which is not exactly surprising given V shaped sound signatures does tend to assist to that effect. Compared to my er3xr, the Shokz has a laid back midrange with a hotter treble and is of course less detailed across the board. It's brighter than the HD650's with a rougher less refined sound. I bought them for $339.00 AUD, I'd highly recommend them for anyone who is after some open sporty headphones and is willing to pay for good sound quality.
Yeah the 2 is a significant step up. I don't know how they compare with the Ultra Open.
AiapaecGaming 1.0The shokz openfit 2+ are a little pricy but awesome.
Au76stella 1.0Compare JLab Go Sport+ vs Shokz OpenFit2+. The price difference is about $170.00. I have both and think the JLab does a better job at filtering the exterior sound as long as you have the right fit on your earpiece. JLab has decent sound quality. Shokz is amazingly better.
badwolfrush 1.0I'd highly recommend the Shokz OpenFit 2+. They're super comfortable, the sound is surprisingly good, and you can still hear everything around you. Wireless charging ung case and ok ung battery. Be careful, though. They're so comfortable it's easy to forget you're wearing them, which makes them easy to lose if they drop. That actually happened to me once, but luckily, I was able to backtrack and find it.
Compusense 1.0Another Shokz recommendation, but this time the ear buds (open fit 2 plus) https://shokz.com/products/openfit2plus these have fantastic audio quality compared to the rest of their lineup and they are sooo comfortable I wear them 8 hours a day at work and have never had any discomfort or battery issues (because they do not have any noise cancelling which typically eats up the battery). can't comment on how they are for running but they are a sports headphone company so they were designed with that in mind.
ConfusingElf 1.0I use the Shokz open fit 2+ and love em! Perfect for running and cycling.
CreamyLibations 1.0I 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.
Darth_Dodraugen 1.0I 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.
eher271 1.0My 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.
FewConsideration3173 1.0My favorites are the Shokz OpenFit 2+
