SHOKZ OpenFit for 2023 Open-Ear True Wireless Bluetooth Headphones with Microphone, Earbuds with Earhooks, Sweat Resistant, Fast Charging, 28HRS Playtime (Black)

Product Information

The Shokz OpenFit certainly seem like the best of both worlds, bringing you better sound than bone-conducting headphones – more like the quality of in-ear buds – but you still don’t have to wear them in your ears, keeping them free to stay aware of what’s going on around you.

The touch control scheme is also fairly rudimentary, with only two controls available and very few commands to assign to them.Unlike traditional earbuds, which sit in your ear canal and block out external sounds, open-ear headphones use Bone Conduction Technology or DirectPitchTM Technology to transmit sound to your ears without obstructing them. The ergonomic and flexible ear hook perfectly wraps around different curves of ears, providing a soft and secure grip.

The OpenFit is a huge departure from the usual Shokz headphone look, swapping a titanium alloy neckband frame for a set of earhook earbuds that sit inside a charging case when not in use. Under the premise of connecting device 1, put the headphones into the box, long press to enter pairing, you can connect device 2. I didn’t notice ambient noise, but when I was in an area with really loud traffic sounds or conversations I found myself distracted from my music and trying to ramp up the volume to compensate. OpenFit must have completed the first pairing connection with the chosen device and ensure that Bluetooth pairing is turned on for the connected device.If you’re cycling above a certain speed, for example, the sound of the wind can struggle to compete with the audio output of these headphones. On their exterior, they have a soft silicone finish, which makes them feel incredibly comfortable and almost velvety to the touch.
