Shokz - OpenFit Open-Ear True Wireless Earbuds - Beige

I am the type of person who will always try new technology as it starts to come out. I have bought so many pairs of headphones, from Apple, Beats, Samsung, JBL, LG, Logitech, and even Shokz. My constant purchase has stemmed from not always liking the headphones, but they always did the job in that typical moment in time. Since starting to make some changes to my daily routine, I really needed some reliable headphones, but I did not want to spend so much money on new headphones when I have some that will "do the job." BUT, when I saw these headphones, they definitely caught my attention. I have always been a fan of the bone conduction headphones. However, because I know I have a big head and can admit it, the Shokz that wrapped around my head did not fit well. I felt restricted when I moved my head. These headphones have definitely changed the game. The comfort and stability of connection is absolutely amazing! The sound is phenomenal as well. I will also say this, don't expect too much of the bass to come from these. That is something I did set my expectations for, but they did exceed my expectations nevertheless. I currently have them paired with my Galaxy Watch 6 and they work great on there when I'm wanting to make a quick run or workout and don't want to take my phone with me. Ideally, I charge them every night in the case because I do use them all day. They give me the ability to listen to music very comfortable while still being able to engage in conversation with others around me. But if I want to not engage, I will just turn the volume up and to me they still sound comfortable and not overbearing. A good way to summarize my experience, think of like you are going grocery shopping at the store and you hear the store music just playing throughout the atore. Well that is what these headphones feel like honestly but like a private party in your head. Overall, these headphones are truly remarkable and I think they were definitely worth the investment for me!

These headphones are really good especially for listening to podcasts or TikTok’s and even YouTube. You can listen to stuff and hear if someone if they call you. The only issue I found is with music with bass in it now if you have them at a low volume for bass music they sound good but if you turn it up it instantly sounds like a blown out speaker until you turn it down again. But honestly these have great sound quality especially for everything else. I mostly use mine in the office and I can listen to podcasts and still hear everything going on around me so overall I recommend them but just know if you’re looking for something with a lot of bass I would not go with these.

Buy them. Quit reading other reviews, quit looking at other similar products, just take the plunge and get these. **because you can return them if you do not like them** So, I love these headphones for soooo many reasons. Comfort is my primary need, followed by situational awareness, and lastly sound quality. Autistic- I am very VERY sensitive to touch, especially prolonged touch. Like the other reviews, I forget I am wearing them occasionally. You have to be patient and figure out your own proper fit when wearing these, and there is a slight learning curve to putting them on, such as the need to take glasses off before putting them on. Physically, they are beautifully balanced and I am not too bothered by vibrations from louder songs. The texture of the headphones is just fine and it doesn't tangle in my hair or pull. I also use music when I am stimming (every human stims, autistic people just put their own flair to it) and these bad boys have survived some funky head banging! Hyperacusis- these have a very nice sound, I can hear things with these that I cant with other headphones, different notes and instruments. An added bonus is sometimes I wear these without music playing because they block sharp sounds from directly hitting my ears. I am also able to have better phone conversations with less irritability because the voices aren't harsh and the audio is clear PTSD- You got the tissues, 'cuz I got the issues! Minimizing humor aside, situational awareness is very important to me, if I feel like I can't hear I feel unsafe. The situational awareness of these makes it seem like you're in the car with the radio playing. It is also great because I have three kids and can only listen to the nature cat theme song so many times before my brain starts flipping breakers, so to speak. I have terrible ADHD (autism is a spectrum disorder because when you're autistic, you don't just have autism!) so I apologize for any incomplete thoughts.
