The OpenFit has better sound than the previous bone conduction headsets, however it lacks controls that are as easy to use. The tactile buttons on the earlier models is much easier to use and you know when you have pressed one. On this set, the button is hard to find and oftentimes you do not know if you have pressed it or not. It is a bit confusing when you don't know what you have pressed. The headsets would be much improved if there was a tactile button on them like the earlier bone conduction models. Otherwise, they are very good and comfortable.

The equipment's sound is good as long as there is not much noise. perfect for office area, car, walking, etc. The comfort is excellent, lightweight, comfortable. In fact, for people who do not expose themselves to much sound during the day, they are perfect. In my situation I prefer the AFTERSHOK AEREOPEX, I use an earplug and I can hear the cell phone if it rings and double-click the last call. Without increasing the sound to the maximum to be able to hear the call. I bought two sets, one for my wife or the other for me. My wife uses them a lot but I use it when I go out. Not all the time like the airepex which lasted me 4 years. I recommend the Aeropex. Later when I can try the OpenRun Pro. Thank you

They don’t air in my ears very well. I had the Aeropex before, and was hoping the lack of the stiff headband would be a good thing, but after wearing the open fit, they seem to make the top of my ears sore. Also, the controls are not easy. I tap to increase or decrease volume, and they turn off instead. Or, I try to turn them off, and they won’t.

These are awesome little buds. I love how light they are i forget i have them in they are do comfortable. Wore them all day yesterday they stay connected to your phone great battery life so far. The sound is good and I can talk without sounding like I have a bucket on my head and I can hear everything around me clearly. My only complaint is the microphone. My husband is a trucker I bought him a pair too. I wish these had better microphone technology when he is in his truck I can hear background noise especially the air-conditioning vent when its blowing in his face. That is the reason for the 4 stars. Other than that these are great. I hope they will make these with a boom microphone in the future like the opencom.

I’ve owned 3 and still have the first pair I bought only reason I bought another pair is because the mic started to get static during phone calls just on the other end…I’m a cyclist and the inner ear set I had were so unsafe, I wasn’t able to hear cars coming up from behind me! The newest pair are still great!They are a good design, I guess I just expected them to be the bone conduction… I’ve would love to be able to not get wrote up by my job for wearing them! I’m a widower and have 2 kids under 14, so I have them on so if anything happens I can get the call from my kids… does shokz have anything that is noise reducing or have anything that can help me show the safety committee that these are a better choice than over the ear or inner ear choice!

These are super comfortable to wear. Best of all is the sound, which really is a level above other earphones I’ve used (and yes, better than bone conduction varieties). I love the ability to customize the equalizer to fit one’s own personal choice. I wear these when running and I have had NO issues with sweat at all. And I sweat a lot! I just wipe them off before putting them back in the case. I would also say that the ability to customize the buttons is awesome and important. I like having control of my volume on my headphones and it is easy to customize these so you can control volume directly from the headphones without having to rely on one’s phone. I don’t run with my phone, so this is key.

I love the openfit! May I recommend 3 upgrades? 1. Allow L/R volume controls 2. Turn them into TV hearing enhancement. 3. Program them where One person can use one and another the other one where you can communicate back and fourth. Like a Bluetooth walkie-talkie.

Not necessarily the fault of the earphone itself. I have large ears and they sit too high up on my ear. I can still use them but they are nowhere near the ear canal. I believe there needs to be be a larger size available or a bendable section put in so the speaker portion can be lowered towards the ear canal instead of hitting the cartilage area of the ear. I still use them for radio or podcast but not for music.

Been a Shokz user for several years now, and tried several models. Have always been happy for what I needed. Lots of podcasts & phone calls. I was excited to see the OpenFit, and ordered them immediately. The sound is great! The fit is great! My normal problem with hook earpieces is that they flop around a bunch. These stay nicely in place. But the battery life just isn’t cutting it. They say 7 hours charge on the earpieces and 28 total with the case. The case is nice to have for the extra charging in your pocket, but I don’t want to have to take the earpieces off and load them into the case to charge more. As I said, I listen to a lot of podcasts, and have lots of phone calls. My OpenRun’s all made it through the entire day on one charge. I know this is a new design, and it’s a delicate balance between form & function, but I’m disappointed they released it without more battery capacity in the ear pieces themselves. Fundamental to a headset these days is enough battery to make it through the day. Since it failed on this foundational measure I couldn’t go above a 3.

I am an avid ShokzSquad member and I have previously beta tested for the company as well. I recall suggesting in my survey for the product to go headband free for those lay down listeners. I have been a SUPER supporter for this product since back in the "wired Aftershokz" era. On Prime Day, I purchased a pair of the Shokz Openfit and I am desperately seeking a resolution for my micro-dilemma... I really want to LOVE this new addition to my Shokz experience but... when I wear my brand new Shokz Openfit the L earpiece feels nice, snug, and secure yet, the R earpiece isn't snug at all and it dangles on my ear when I am in motion and I just don't know what to do to make it "fit" securely. It just doesn't feel secure like the L one does. I have normal ears both around the same size and shape lol i am perplexed. (I am in search for a resolution NOT a refund) Thank you ShokzSquad taking a moment to "listen" to my feedback! I guess that I am NOT alone with this issue. I really don't know what to do and more importantly i don't know if the Shokz Company will "acknowledge" our feedback and support US as WE support them. *I currently don't have any headphones to use due to this issue. Thank you for your time and attention. -Mr. Wil #shokzsquad
