Amazing!
These SHOKZ OpenFit 2 are an impressive upgrade that delivers on all fronts. The sound quality is exceptional with crisp highs and rich, natural bass without distortion. What really stands out is the comfort – you barely feel them during wear, yet they stay perfectly secure through workouts and daily activities.The 11-hour battery life powers through full days, and the physical buttons are far more practical than touch controls during exercise. Water resistance holds up well in light rain, and multipoint pairing seamlessly switches between devices for work and play. Call quality remains crystal clear for meetings.At the price, these deliver premium features that actually enhance daily use. Perfect for active professionals needing reliable earbuds that transition smoothly from workouts to work calls. A genuine upgrade that excels in both comfort and performance. Highly recommended!

Light weight
Overall a good headphone 1: it is super light weight, the silicon fixer is flexible and you don’t feel the product. It is comfortable for a long time user. 2: during normal work out it grabs your ears and do not fall off, when jumping/ running you dont really feel the bounce. 3: the sound quality is pretty decent, sharp and crisp, load enough for exterior environment. also the app can equip you to change the settings. Also can let you find the ear phone 4: battery is good for 2-3 days for a heavy user.

Shokz Open Fit 2: A Game-Changer in Everyday Audio
I recently had the chance to experience the Shokz Open Fit 2, and it’s safe to say they’ve redefined my expectations for wireless audio. From the moment I put them on, I noticed a thoughtful design that prioritizes both comfort and functionality.Comfort & Ease of UseUnlike traditional in-ear models, the Open Fit 2 features an open-ear design that sits securely around the ears. This eliminates the discomfort of prolonged earbud use while allowing for better awareness of your surroundings. Whether I was running errands or sitting through long meetings, I barely noticed they were there.Navigating playback and calls felt effortless, thanks to the intuitive controls. There’s no fumbling with buttons—just a seamless experience that integrates smoothly into a busy day.Exceptional Sound QualityWhat truly sets the Open Fit 2 apart is its audio performance. The clarity, richness, and balance exceeded my expectations. Music felt immersive, while phone calls came through crisp and natural. Despite the open-ear design, I never felt like I was sacrificing depth or sound fidelity.A Smart Upgrade from Beats ProPreviously, I relied on Beats Pro in-ear headphones. While they delivered strong audio, they posed a challenge for phone calls—having both earpieces fully inserted often made conversations feel muffled and unnatural.The Open Fit 2, on the other hand, excels in call clarity without compromising sound quality. The design allows for clear communication, making them a far superior choice for both work and leisure.Final VerdictWith an innovative open-ear design, remarkable sound quality, and an effortless user experience, the Shokz Open Fit 2 offers a refreshing alternative to conventional earbuds. Whether you need a comfortable daily companion for music and calls or an upgrade from traditional in-ear models, these headphones are a worthy investment.They not only meet expectations—they exceed them.

Just Wow!!
Okay I bought these after seeing a review from CES. I wanted to replace my Poxel Buds pro 2 because they just disappointed with fit (things fall out all the time even with the new twisty thing) and thought I’ll give these a try. I wanted buds that didn’t fall out (or feel like they were about to fall out), and these are the answer. Fit is amazing and stays in place. I was a little weary of sound quality but, dang, these things sound incredible and can get really loud (almost too loud paired on my Samsung 24 Ultra). Sound is rich and clear and, no, others can’t hear what I’m listening too even with the volume cranked.Do I miss ANC?? No! Honestly, ANC is kind of a pain – it drains battery and you constantly have to turn it off or take a bud out if someone starts talking to you. An aside – can we just all agree that if you have buds on, that’s a universal sign for DO Not Disturb?? Anyway, I found myself doing that all the time walking my dog and after using these, I think I like open ear (and the added awareness) much better than ANC. If you think you’ll be distracted by outside sound (like i thought), you won’t be. It’s an odd and comforting in-between experience where you can be lost in what you’re listening to but also be cognizant of things around you if you want to be. You may have to try these for this to make sense.Comfort? Yes and yes. I forgot these things were even on my ears.Battery life? Umm- 48 hrs! And you get that without all these special conditions. Pixel buds got 12 hours if all features were turned off and I was listening to AM radio and my left arm was raised at a 30 degree angle.What about calls and the mic? Again, better than I hoped. My friends couldn’t tell I was on wireless buds (I asked), when speaking even on a windy night outside.Is there anything wrong with them? Not that I can see. Pairing was seemless, Shockz app and features are great, smooth interaction and I like that there is a physical button and touch gestures to control the headphones.Nothing is perfect though and here is what I would change:The position of the physical button. I accidently press this every time I put them on – it’s probably the way I put them on so I maybe I can adapt.The case – So the headphones look and feel like pure quality. You can tell right away that these are designed to perform and last. The case, which I’m sure is equally well designed but just feels like an after thought and I think that’s because it’s so light. It works perfectly and this could very well just be a me thing.Also with the case, these things fit in their little home perfectly – too perfectly. They can be a little difficult to get out. I have big hands though so again, could just be a me thing.All in all, great set of wireless open ear buds. Exceeded my expectations and eliminated my “concerns” about life with open ear headphones and I think all 5 out of 5 dentists would agree with me here.

OK, so let’s get the one “issue” out of the way. Compared to most closed TWS products these don’t have the same sub bass thump. The bass is there but it a very natural bass so no big sub woofer type bass. So if that an absolute must, these while better then the older model and the one othe open earphone I own, are still not there. But I am unsure any open style ear or headphone ever will be.But that’s not really who this headphone is for anyway… this isn’t meant to drown out the world. It’s meant to allow music to become the soundtrack of your life again, and this regard the Openfit 2 delivers in spades.I bought these as an alternative to using that other style while at home. I know they are meant for sports and when it warms up I will likely use them for jogging and walking. But in my case I wanted them for home use even more. Because I started to feel isolated from everyone with the other style.In this regard these have been amazing, suddenly I can work and feel more connected to my surroundings while being inspired by great music.The bass that is delivered sounds great with rock, jazz, classical, and accoustic music, while the midrange and treble offer a very expansive sound with enough detail to be engaging but not distracting. They sound an awful lot like an openback over ear headphone of you have ever heard that type of product.In regards to the case , battery life and fit. I find the case a bit large but not excessively so. I installed the free rubber outer case I got and am on the fence about it. I appreciate the extra protection, but find it’s a lint magnet and sticky to pocket the case and slightly to heavy for shirt pocket comfort.Battery life is exceptional. I easily wore these from 8am to 8pm and still had 20% battery life left. This was not solid music all that time, more likely around 5hrs, plus maybe 2hrs of meetings with paused music the rest of the time. But that is a huge win for me because I literally just wore them for the entire day.Which brings me to comfort. Because they don’t go in ear. I literally wore these for 12 hours with ZERO discomfort with long stretched where I forgot they were hookef on my ears. I even found I could wear these to bed with more comfort than some of the smaller TWS I specifically bought for that purpose. Not perfect for side sleeping, but more manageable than I would have thought possible.So I feel comfortable if any of my reasons for buying these resonate while your reading, wholeheartedly recommending these.OH, almost forgot! Microphone quality has also been very good with no complaints for phone calls or teams meetings. I have also had a couple calls while walking outside with my wife and no complaints there so far.One final caution / issue. I had some hanging issues when using multipoint. I have followed some reset instructions from Shokz support and so far so good. But have not tested enough to say for 100% certainty the issue is resolved. So can not fully recommend if that functionality is a deal breaker. I will update this review in a week or two with a final verdict in this area.UPDATE on the Multi-Point issue:Follow up on my issue. Unfortunately it happened again today. BUT the cause is how I use Teams on both phone and computer.I initiated several calls from my computer and received one call from my computer successfully. But I then had a call come in from Teams and could not answer quickly, consequently both my phone which also has teams installed started to ring, so my PC and my phone both tried to use my Shokz at the same time and it quickly locked up.This is more of an unusual issue of having 2 devices hammering the Shokz at the same time from the same app. Not a very typical or supportable issue for Shokz to manage. So I have found a setting in Teams (on my phone) to block notifications when active on another device, testing to see if this resolves the issue fully.Until the failure the app on the phone and the Shokz worked without issue other than a bit of lag switching back and forth.

Amazing! Great sound quality and probably the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn. I forget I am wearing them sometimes. I was worried about how they would fit because I wear glasses but it’s not an issue at all. They are definitely on the pricey side but 100% worth it in my opinion.
