"They're so comfortable, for me at least, that I actually wear them when I go to sleep as well and never feel them during the night."
"I personally use Shokz OpenFit Air for running, and whilst the sound is obviously nowhere near as immersive as in ear, they are super comfortable"
"Super comfortable - and I hate basically all headphones and earbuds."

"Absolutely can hear everything even when I have the volume all the way up cause I’m hurting doing 1K repeats."
"With open earbuds I can get the best of both worlds, ... and the ability to hear my surroundings. ... while letting all outside sound into your ears."
"I love them for cycling for this reason too. ... They do not go on or in your ears so no, but if you can't hear the wind you likely also cannot hear the cars around you. ... I have not had difficulty listening to podcasts or music over the wind while cycling"

"The sound on the Shokz is better hands down. ... On the Shokz when adjusting bass on equalizer you really notice the differece."
"The open fit definitely sound better though."

"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"
"Max volume is a little low for them to be my only headphones - they get drowned out by the bus sometimes."
"once I get over about 20KM/HR the other person cannot hear me."

"I kept feeling them on and thinking they would fall off my ears at any moment, it would distract me from my run."
"They hurt my left ear, and after about an hour of wear, they started hurting my right. ... I have smaller ears ... I am finding that people with smaller ears are coming to the same conclusion I came to with the OpenFits."
"felt like they were constantly jostling around or going to fall off"

"the fidelity is worse than my $20 skullcandy in-ears"
"These do have more distortion at higher volumes"
