    I just got these and I love them. They are secure on my ears even when I shake my head. They can be used independently of each other. The sound is exceptional, especially since they lay in front of the ear, instead of in the ear. From the app you can choose to optimize sound for music or for speech. The battery life is very long. It’s been 24 hours and I haven’t had to charge them yet. Plus they are very light and don’t weigh down on the ear. They don’t have an on/off button, so you have to put them in the charging case and close it to turn off.

    Lightweight Open Earbuds With Good Quality Audio

    I happy was happy to see Shokz has another offering in their line of open ear headphones and earbuds. The OpenFit Air True Wireless Earbuds, like the rest of their line, help to hear what is around you while also hearing music, audio books, etc. I like this style when I'm out jogging, walking, and bike riding along roads. It allows me to hear cars approaching me. I was using the Shokz OpenMove which work ok, but the bass isn't there with those, so I don't get the rich audio that prefer. DirectPitch technology, in my experience, tends to sound better than bone conducting technology. It offers a richer sound, so I was really happy to see Shokz coming out with a new set of earbuds that use that technology. Appearance And Fit The OpenFit Air are small and lightweight. They fit well on my ears and even after hours of listening to audio I hardly notice that I have them on. They look good and it's easy to find the part of the earbuds that contain touch sensitive buttons. I used these while out jogging, walking, and mountain biking. During those activities, I never had an instance of the earbuds falling off or shifting position even when sweating in high temperature and high humidity situations. It was also easy for me to reach up and touch the earbuds to pause/play audio. Audio Quality Audio quality from these are really good. There is plenty of treble and enough bass to provide a rich clear audio experience. The bass, even with the EQ set to Bass Boost, isn't heavy bass. In other words, the bass isn't punchy, but it is good such that the audio from audio books and general music is really good. The Bass Boost setting for the EQ only seems to reduce treble instead of increasing the bass. Shokz can look into that and make adjustments to make that better with an app update. Shokz's implementation of the DirectPitch technology in the OpenFit Air earbuds is evident with the clear audio you get from them. Case And Charging The charge case is 2.5" x 2.5" x 1". It easily fits into my front pocket. The case has a USB-C charge port on the back of it. Inside, the spots for each earbud is molded so they fit well in their positions and a magnet holds each in place. I didn't have to mess around to get them to sit right. The two times I've charged the case, it took from 1.5 hours to 2 hours with the earbuds inside the case. I was also able to get 3 charges from the case before it dropped to 20% battery remaining. On a full charge, I was able to listen to an audio book for 5.5 hours before I needed to recharge the earbuds. Buttons And App The Shokz app will allow you to see charge levels of each earbud plus the charge case. It's also where you set the EQ and set what the touch sensitive buttons will do. There are several options for setting the buttons. Tapping the buttons once does one thing and pressing and holding does something else. It is this way for each touch sensitive button on each earbud. During my use, I had an issue where touching the left button didn't do anything. I had it set to press once to Play/Pause. I've had numerous instances where touching/pressing it didn't pause/play audio. I was tapping the correct place on the earbud, but it took many times before it registered that I had tapped/pressed the earbud's button. Pressing and holding to perform a function always worked. The right earbud's button worked every time I tapped once and when I pressed and held. The problem was just limited to press once on the left earbud. Hopefully Shokz can correct that with a firmware update. Skokz has also made the OpenFit Air earbuds capable of multipoint pairing. You can turn this on within the app. This allowed me to pair them with my iPhone and my tablet. Final Thoughts Shokz has come along way since the OpenMove headset. I've been using the OpenMove headset for some time now and they are good, but the audio from them doesn't have much bass. The OpenFit Air has enough bass that it allows for a righ audio experience. With them being lightweight and the rich audio, my sport activities have been a better experience. I'm very happy to see what Shokz has done with the OpenFit Air earbuds and I'm looking forward to see what they do in the future.

    I love the fit of the Shokz OpenFit Air Earbuds! I accidently slept in the Shokz OpenFit Air earbuds and they were secure and intack upon awaking the next morning! These earbuds wrap around the back and then top of your ear for extra security. They are very comfortable and I can barely tell that I have them in my ears. I have worn the earbuds each day for about eight hours mostly because they are so comfortable that I forget to take them out of my ears. Charging the earbuds fully takes about an hour. My phone conversations while wearing the earbuds were crystal clear. Setup was very simple. You can pair the Shokz OpenFit earbuds to your phone and or PC. The earbuds can be switched between the two devices that were paired. Then you may download the Shokz app from Google Play Store or App Store. Using the app on your phone you can customize the controls, ie. change the double tap(play/pause) and press and hold (decrease/increase volume) from the right earbud to left earbud and vice/versa. Overall these are a very impressive pair of earbuds. Highly Recommend.

    This review is prefaced on the idea that one expects to use these earphones in mind of their purpose and design, which dictates that the listener wants to hear their surroundings. These earpieces deliver consistent, strong sound performance via Bluetooth and absolutely still let the listener hear what is happening around them. These are fantastic earbuds for exercising outside. This is my primary use for them, and I think they are fabulous. Pros: Great sound, easy to operate, fit is easy and very secure, easy to operate controls, multi-point pairing, some personalization available through app. Works brilliantly for running outside. Cons: Iimited sound adjustability through app; got a little uncomfortable on right ear after nearly 1.5 hours, plus sunglasses. Not great for treadmill or avoiding noise from coworkers or others. More details: I wasn’t sure what to expect from these Shokz earbuds. I have been growing more disenchanted with wearing more conventional earbuds, even those that allow ambient control to bring outside noise into the listening experience when you want to hear in your environment. I had been considering the bone-conduction models of Shokz, but I didn’t like the band that goes behind the wearer’s head. Enter these Openfit Air Shokz. These are *not* technically bone conduction, and I honestly cannot compare them to other Shokz for that reason. They are little speakers, essentially, that sit just in your ear opening. I know that seems like it won’t work at all, but I have been amazed at what I can now hear while running, even while also still getting good sound on music. I listen to music at a reasonable volume on earbuds, rarely above half-way volume. That works fine for the most part, even on days when I was running in the wind. There’s definitely some wind noise, but honestly I think less than when I was using pass-through ambient earbuds. I *love* these for running outside. They are super secure (again, I wasn’t sure that would be the case, and I don’t have huge ears. I can wear sunglasses and a headband along with the Shokz and have had no issues with fit or security. Battery life seems fine; I have mostly used them for short periods, but after more than an and hour and a half use, they are still at 90%. The case is still at 60% after about a week and multiple (small) charges. So, no complaints. USB C charging is fast. The case is slim and and square. Because the ear hangers have to be ear sized, this case isn’t as tiny as some bud cases, but it’s small enough for a pocket (even in women’s clothes). Touch controls work fine, but the may be annoying in cold weather when wearing gloves. Some personalization is available in the app for the functions on each bud, but they are default for volume and pause/skip, which work fine and are easy enough to do. Sounds performance: good at all levels. Strong bass and strong stereo feels. Lyrics and vocal music come across well. In the app you can adjust the eq for “standard,” “voice” (i.e. for audiobooks or podcasts, talk radio), “bass” and “treble.” I’ve tried these; I think standard works best for most of my music and voice if clearer for listening to non-music audio. Treble might be nice for some orchestral music. The bass setting to me seems to sacrifice a lot of mid and upper tones; and I don’t know that it’s great even for heavy bass music—it all just feels a little muffled. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO USE THE APP, you don’t have to. But you won’t be able to adjust settings. Two sound caveats. Bluetooth / wireless is way better than it used to be, but it’s not the same as the fidelity with a plug-in, high end, over ear headset. So, I don’t expect buds to perform in that way. Caveat two: I’m centered on the experience while being able to hear other things. So, the sound is impressive in that it’s immersive, clear, and directed astoundingly well as it lets me also hear myself type or the jingling of my dogs’ collars. That does also mean that there is sound leakage. So, people around you might well hear some of what you are listening to. I wore these while casually working at home, and my spouse was in the room with me. He had no idea I was listening to them while working (my hair was covering them), but I was listening at a fairly low volume and his hearing is not as sensitive as mine. If I were working next to somebody, or listening loud, that person might find the Shokz annoying. Also, they are obviously not sound isolating or noise canceling. So, while I love them running outside…I did not enjoy them on the treadmill. Likely they are not the best choice on an airplane either, but I’ve not tested them in the vicinity of screaming baby.

    I love Shokz. I bought my first pair a few years back, the AfterShokz ‘Titanium’, before they shortened their name to Shokz. Since then, I’ve owned the ‘Air’ and ‘OpenRun Pro’, with the OpenRun’s being my daily set of headphones I keep in my work backpack. These new OpenFit Air’s are a whole new beast. All my previous models were similar in that they all had a headband style design, each earbud connected by a headband seated behind your head. With these new OpenFit Air’s, Shokz has done away with the headband. The result is an overall smaller product, which is especially evident when the OpenFit Air’s are stored in their charging case. The one thing I’ve always liked about Shokz is that they are all designed for an open-ear experience, meaning you aren’t tuned out from the world around you. Open-ear headphones are perfect for any type of outdoor activity where you need to be aware of your surroundings. And while I do use mine regularly around the office, so I can hear others around me, I absolutely love taking them out on the golf course, so I can listen to my own music and be aware of any stray hits when someone inevitably yells “FORE!” The Shokz open-ear experience has not been lost with this new set. While they do cover your ears more than their bone conduction siblings, they just sit hovering next to your ears, kept in place by a sport ear-band style wing that wraps behind your ears. What I Liked: • They feel very secure on my ears. After the initial oddity of having a headphone hover over your ear wear off, I really appreciated how secure these were especially out on the golf course. I was worried they may fall off mid-swing, but not once did they really budge at all. These exceeded my expectations. • The sound quality is up there with my Shokz OpenRun Pro’s, which sound fantastic for open ear headphones. Shokz has gotten better and better over the years of delivering on sound quality in their open-ear designs. • I found the touch controls very useful. Tap and hold on the left bud for volume down, tap and hold on the right for volume up. Double tap on the left for play/pause, and double tap the right to skip to the next track. You can also answer calls by double tapping the right bud when there’s an incoming call. • These earbuds look premium. I really like the way they look with the chrome and rubber fusion. • As with any open-ear headphone set, you don’t get ear fatigue or itchy ears from plastic and rubber sitting in your ears for extended periods. • The earbuds as stored in their case are relatively compact. The case is comparable in size to the case for the Beats Fit Pros, though slightly bigger. What I disliked: • The touch controls, while generally useful, sometimes were a bit too sensitive. I inadvertently skipped a song or two I was enjoying while trying to adjust the earbud itself. I got used to how to manage not to trigger this, but it still occasionally happens. • The built-in mic is serviceable for phone calls, definitely not the best I’ve heard. As my sister put it when she called me and I answered on them, “It sounds like you’re talking through a radio.” • That’s it. Those are the only two complaints I had with these. They are really vey good overall. I think these are likely to replace my OpenRun Pro’s as the set of headphones I carry around on a daily basis. They have a much smaller footprint and won't take as much space in my backpack, while still packing the same punch sound-wise as my OpenRun Pro’s. I highly recommend these.

    Fine for music and audio books

    Audio Quality I listen to a lot of music, videos, and audiobooks on my phone so it’s important for me to have decent quality earbuds. The OpenFit Air earbuds by Shokz offer good audio for the media I listen to. My biggest complaint is about phone call quality - callers couldn’t hear me very well and said I sounded far away or not loud enough. I also could really only hear the callers when I had my volume all the way up. I tested this on phone calls as well as WhatsApp calls. I ended up having to disable the earbuds for calls, it was a bit inconvenient. Comfort & Fit These Shokz earbuds loop around the top of your ear and the speaker piece is an open-ear design where it hovers over the ear, unlike typical in-ear earbuds. These earbuds feel secure while wearing them, especially while moving around, making these the most secure earbuds I own. My skin and ears are sensitive so it’s hard to find earbuds that are comfortable. The open-ear design is nice because I no longer get tenderness in the opening of my ear canal like with in-ear buds. However, now the top of my ear experiences tenderness because of how the loop sits on my ear. If you don’t have sensitive ears, you may not experience the same discomfort. For example, I gave these to my husband and they don’t bother him at all. Connectivity & Battery Life Connecting via Bluetooth is fast and I even easily switched connections between two phones. Battery life has been good so far, I’ve only charged it once and used it for a few days so I anticipate being able to use them throughout the week and charge them on Sundays before the start of the work week. Overall The good things about these earbuds are features I already expect to work well and I do like the open-ear concept. Personally, I can’t get past the poor phone call quality I experienced. I didn’t enjoy these earbuds as much as I’d hoped. My husband tried them out and liked them so he is happy to keep them.

    My New Favorite Earbuds

    Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    As the title suggests, these are easily my favorite earbuds to date. And why is it that I think such? Well, these rest over your outer ear as opposed to being inserted, which is important in my case, since I have sensitive ear canals due to a surgery I had when I was but a wee lad. In other words, I can comfortably wear these for as long as they have juice. In-ear earbuds really irritate my ear canals by comparison. Add that with the overall fit/finish, the nifty little touch controls, and the overall sound quality, and you arrive at a stellar product, in my opinion. Speaking of sound quality (arguably the most important aspect of listening devices); it is quite good, maybe even shockingly so for such tiny speakers, while still allowing the wearer to be aware of their surroundings. I guess if I had name drawbacks to these earbuds, it would be that the battery life isn't exactly stellar, only decent, and that the price might seem a bit steep to some at 120 dollars. Personally, I think they're well worth the asking price (I took the plunge on a sale, hah). Overall, I'm quite pleased with this kind of sorta impulse buy. These are as good as they get.

    Impressive Sound, But Fit Could Be Better

    The Shokz OpenFit Air is an exciting leap forward in open-ear audio, bringing you a richer, fuller sound experience that surpasses earlier models. From the moment you take them out of the box, the improvements are clear—enjoy deeper bass, well-balanced mids and highs, and a listening experience that feels beautifully immersive, all while keeping your ears open to the world around you. Whether you’re taking a call, vibing to your favorite songs, or staying alert during a workout, you’re bound to be truly impressed by the outstanding sound quality. With all the latest open-ear technology, these earbuds are a joy to use. Their lightweight design and open-ear fit allow you to stay aware of your surroundings while indulging in a surprisingly rich audio experience. Calls are crystal clear, and the upgraded driver technology ensures that everything from podcasts to your go-to playlists sounds better than ever. If you can snag these for under $100, they offer fantastic value, especially for anyone who enjoys being tuned in without losing touch with their environment. However, my wife and I have found that the fit can be a bit of a challenge—it doesn’t quite feel secure enough for all-day wear. While they’re pretty comfortable, they don’t sit as snugly as we’d prefer, making them less ideal for more active use. We both lean towards the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Mini for a snugger fit that maintains comfort. But if you find that the OpenFit Air fits you just right, it’s an incredible upgrade with remarkable sound quality—definitely worth a try to ensure they stay in place!

    Ive been using my airpods for years but they fall out easily and are so uncomfortable. I was looking at the bose ones but couldnt justify spending $300 on earbuds that had mixed reviews. I had never heard of this brand but gave them a try and wow was i impressed! I am immediately selling my airpods. These dont go in your ears so their so much more comfortable and safer. They have the earhook so they dont come off easily. The sound is very loud and great quality. For $120 this is a steal! Would buy all over again

    It was ok. Pairing it through Bluetooth through old and newer technology was a pain, it didn't always connect when you switched devices and had to re-pair them each time. Sound is good, songs with bass in them does well with these. If you play music loud, everyone else can hear it too, so no privacy if you like to get lost in music. It sits comfortably right outside your ear canal so A+ on that!

    Bought for my wife as she prefers to hear surroundings when running. She preferred these over original shokz bone conducting. She likes the fit and it sounds better. The earbuds has app with sound presets, but number of presets is limited. Overall it works very well - calls, music and ability to hear surroundings.
