SHOKZ OpenFit - Open-Ear True Wireless Bluetooth Headphones with Microphone, Earbuds with Earhooks, Sweat Resistant, Fast Charging, 28HRS Playtime, Compatible with iPhone & Android, Black

I've waited to review until I'd had and used these a good bit to be able to give my honest review and after a month of use I can say that I love these and would absolutely recommend them and buy them again.I have never found a pair of ear buds that don't cause me extreme pain in my ears, neck, shoulders, and head. I've tried all manner of ear buds, from super cheap to really expensive, and these are the first set of ear buds that I can wear all day without any pain whatsoever. It took a little getting used to the way that they fit because they did sort of feel like they were on the verge of falling out when I first got them, but this is just due to a different design than I've ever experienced and they're actually quite secure and not going anywhere. I do find myself forgetting that I have them on and will walk around with nothing playing, wearing them for hours sometimes. Even as a glasses wearer, I don't find myself having any problems with comfort or secure fit.The sound quality is honestly the best I've experienced in all of the ear buds I've tried. I'm super impressed with the bass they're able to achieve, and it is sort of a "sound is in your head" kind of experience. I've used them for listening to music, watching YouTube, watching TV shows and movies, and have never felt that I needed to adjust the EQ. They really just sound great for all uses, in my opinion.I love the way that you put them into pairing mode - I did have to look up a YouTube video on how to do it because I struggled to understand the instructions provided, but it's actually really easy and reliable, and one of the easier pairing experiences I've had. I have a few pairs of headphones/ear buds that are a major pain to pair and fall out of being paired randomly, and I've had none of those issues with these.I haven't had any issues with the touch controls not working right, though I don't use these for running and it seems the majority of reviewers having issues with the touch controls are runners who experience sweat, so that could be why I've had no issues. I'm a stay at home mom who works part time from home and home schools my kid, so my typical use of these is while sitting at a computer working, or while walking around my home doing school or chores.They're not super noise canceling and they don't have the longest battery life but that is exactly as advertised. Being open ear fit they couldn't possibly be noise canceling (though they do actually drown out most sound pretty well if the volume is up high), which is actually what I need in ear buds as a stay at home mom who needs to be able to hear my kid at all times. I don't want to give these a low review on noise cancellation or battery life because they're clearly advertised as not being noise canceling, and also clearly advertised that the ear buds themselves only have a 7 hour battery life and the case has a 28 hour battery life, so it would seem unfair to lower their rating over something that you're advertised before even buying. Maybe in future models they'll be able to increase the battery life, but until then it is totally fine with me as someone who is home pretty much at all times and able to recharge without issue.I am super happy with these, and so pleased to have finally found ear buds I can wear without pain. After years of searching, I finally found a pair that works for me and actually sounds great, too.

These earphones are a game-changer! You can enjoy music, calls, or podcasts without blocking your ears, so you can stay aware of your surroundings. This is especially useful for outdoor activities like running, cycling, or hiking, where being aware of your surroundings is super important.The sound quality is surprisingly good for bone conduction earphones. The clarity of the mids and highs is really impressive.Comfort is another big plus. They’re lightweight and have an adjustable fit, so they stay secure during movement. The materials are soft and flexible, and they’re also sweat- and water-resistant, so they’re perfect for workouts and outdoor activities in any weather.Battery life is solid, with up to 8 hours of continuous playback, so they last through long sessions without needing a recharge. The built-in microphone offers great call quality, with minimal background noise.In terms of usability, the controls are easy to use, and pairing with devices is a breeze. Overall, the Shokz OpenFit earphones are an excellent combination of comfort, sound quality, and convenience. They’re a great choice for active individuals who need both an open-ear design and reliable performance.

I've been using these since the first of December and I can say that I love these and would absolutely recommend them and buy them again. The reason I didn’t give them Five stars is because of no pre—warning that the battery is low.I have never found a pair of ear buds that don't cause me extreme pain in my ears, neck, and head.

Being open ear fit they couldn't possibly be noise canceling (though they do actually drown out most sound pretty well if the volume is up high), which is actually what I need in ear buds as a stay at home fur baby mom who need to hear my fur baby.

My only drawback to them is they don’t give you any pre-warning that the battery is low. The warning that you get is three beeps and they immediately shutoff. They don’t give you any warning to allow you to charge ear piece before shutting down.Overall I am super happy with these, and so pleased to have finally found some ear buds I can wear without pain. After years of searching, I finally found a pair that works for me and actually sounds great, too.
