SHOKZ OpenFit 2 Open-Ear Headphones, True Wireless Bluetooth Earphones with Microphone, Earhook Earbuds with 48 Hours of Playtime, USB-C Fast Charging, IP55 Water-Resistant, with Carrying bag, BlackCarbonfree Certified

These are great headphones. I usually use over-ear ones, which are ideal in colder months with a hat, but I needed something for warmer weather when I'm out walking or running – so my ears don't sweat. These are perfect for casual listening or more intense exercise, as they stay securely in place.The sound quality is excellent – I usually keep the volume at around 70%. Battery life is decent too. (Walk/run daily & charge once a week) They're waterproof, which is a bonus, though I haven't tested that feature yet. They are fairly easy to use. download the app and pair via bluetooth and away you go.Value-wise, they are on the expensive side, but you're paying for a high-quality product, and they're priced similarly to other premium headphones. They're very comfortable to wear – I previously had the Galaxy Buds Pro 2 and find these a much better experience in terms of both sound and comfort. Would recommend if you can justify the price.

I run regularly and have used several earphones in the past, including the Jabra Elite Active 4, Soundcore V20i, and Suunto Sonic. These are hands down the best of the bunch for running and workouts.Pros:Great Build: Silicone and metal combo feels durable yet lightweight.Easy Pairing: Connects quickly without hassle.Impressive Sound: Much better than other open-style earphones I’ve tried, and far superior to bone conduction models. While not quite in-ear quality, the sound is pleasantly balanced.Physical Buttons: A standout feature. Reliable and far more practical during workouts than fiddly touch controls.Cons:No Audio Cue on Pairing: It would be helpful to have a sound or tone when they pair. Right now, you don’t know they’re ready until music plays.Pricey: Slightly expensive, but I used a 10% discount and a birthday voucher which made it easier to justify.If you're serious about exercise and want dependable, great-sounding earphones, these are absolutely worth considering.

I am very happy with this iteration of the OpenFits. I loved the originals, being a person who finds in-ear headphones to be very uncomfortable after only a short time wearing, but they had some problems, which have essentially all been fixed in this iteration.The old openfits used to lose charge quickly in the case over time, seems to be fixed. The horrible touch pad controls, fixed and replaced with a button that feels great to use. The quality of sound has improved, and even the comfort (and the originals were already very comfortable) has improved; I can barely feel I have these on even after wearing them all day. The new multipoint pairing feature works great, I have taken to wearing these for gaming on my PC so I don't sweat as much with my over-ear headset during warmer weather and the battery lasts well even for those 10 hour sessions.

Perfect alternative to my Shokz open run fit headphones. Good quality and sound, perfect for hearing noise around you but not spoiling the sound quality of the music. They are a bit on the large size for my ears but have not come off on a run. They pair easily with my Pixel phone and Macbook so no issues with android or iOS. Nice charging case with its own little storage bag so good for travel. Battery life is excellent and seems to last several days but not really monitored it properly. Sound and clarity is excellent but can still hear your surroundings. Would definitely recommend them

These are very impressive earphones, the sound is excellent considering the open ear form factor, and the battery life, build quality, comfort and connectivity are all top class. The issue, for me, is with their current cost. I tried four different open ear models, including these, and while they are undoubtedly one of the best models I tried, they also cost more than double the price of the Soundcore Aerofit 2 - and I could not tell the difference between the two. With LDAC enabled on the Aerofit 2s, they actually sound richer than these, and the audio quality on standard battery saving mode is practically the same. So for less than half the price you're getting a product that's is practically on the same level in almost every aspect. I consider myself to be an audiofile, but I couldn't justify paying more than double for something isn't noticeably better in any significant way.

I've been a Sony fan for many years. I have never found a real competitor to Sony's quality of sound (from a hearing perspective), waterproofness, general fault free performance.To add to this, I'm allergic to Silicon so real in-ear headphones are a big no no...rash in the ear canal...no thanks.I've used all iterations of the linkbuds and over the last couple of months I've been hunting for an alternative as the fitting on the last iteration has become too loose when running. (I think my ears have gotten bigger...).These, well. Wow. The sound Quality isn't as "crystal clear", but its louder , and surround/ Dolby adds an element that has you turning your head to hear where a sound came from.The clarity is still certainly above other famous brands out there, and there's the equalizer to suit taste.The fact that these don't go into the ear canal, are loud, have decent NC (better than the linkbuds), AND have a secure fitting over the ear.... Highly recommended.These have not been partner tested yet... i.e can she hear the music as I walk past, or can I hear what shes saying whilst wearing them... if you never hear from me again you know they failed that test and I went out listening to WHAM at full blast.
