The case is too large, larger than the 2023 Shook OpenFit, they have more material, they are more comfortable. The base has increased, and yet they do have issues when paired with more than three devices: 1. iPhone 15 Pro 2. OnePlus 12 3. MacBook Air M2

Out of the box, the fit was too loose over my ears. But once I learned that I could bend the wire inside to tighten the fit to my liking, they stopped rotating on my ear and stay still. Initially, the sound was tinny. I was hyperaware of the speakers being just outside of my ear and would not have considered them surround sound. In that sense, the bone induction headphones are more immersive and other speakers are higher quality than these. But I am not an audiophile. In fact, I barely listen to audiobooks and music at all. For those times I do listen to something, it is meant as a background sound while doing something else. These are great for that. I love the situational awareness these provide. And for my lifestyle, I prefer two seperable earbuds over one with a connecting bar in the back. Comfort is mostly good. My biggest complaint is the length of the speaker rectangle. My ears are small, and the end of the rectangle presses against the top of the floating-triangle-peninsula-flap part of my ear (excuse the nontechnical name). Maybe the other style of OpenFit are better for that? Otherwise, I wear glasses and they are a non-issue with those, and the material is silky soft. Controls are rudimentary and not to my liking, but they do the minimum they need to. No wireless charging, and I constantly switch which device I pair them to, which means *back in the case, long press both touchpads til the case LED blinks, then I can put them back on. * Fact check this, but I think the speaker for calls is only in the left earbud. 😬 And I thiiiink that if you swap from one to the other and put one back in the case, the call ends. Again, fact check me. All in all, nothing on the market now will do just what these will do, and so I will hold onto them and enjoy them. But I have high hopes that Shockz can flush out these details in future iterations (and let me beta test them?). They are a good quality company. My husband has the OpenRun and wears them for exercise, travel, and sometimes around the house.

I really love how light they are, and the sound quality is great while still being able to hear everything around me. Only problem I had was with the touch sensor buttons; I had to turn off the feature because it started raining and the rain was able to turn my volume up and down.

They wear is very comfortable. I have a ton of ear piercings so I can’t fit in earbuds. Shokz don’t look too big and weird. My last earbuds had a big blue light on them and I felt embarrassed wearing them. Audio feature, it’s good. They aren’t Bose’s. The bass isn’t fantastic but that’s not important to me. I haven’t worn them for more than an hour so I can’t comment on battery life. So far so good. I highly recommend these!

Easy 5/5 on all fronts besides the random disconnections. A single ear will disconnect for no discernable reason. Sometimes left, sometimes right, never both at the same time. I'm not sure if it's a Bluetooth receiver issue, but it happens at home all the time

Very easy to use and light weight. Better than my previous Titanium ones that had the band around the back. However, it was nice to be able to press the button to find out how charged the battery was, and I don't think these Open Air ones have that feature.

The fit is comfortable - didn't even realize I was wearing them. I enjoy that I can hear what's happening around me (like talking with fellow runners), and the music is still clear. I can also crank the volume if I only want to focus on my music. Sound comes through crisp and clear.

Received these for Fathers’ Day, but I’m honestly disappointed. Instead of transmitting sound via bone-conduction as the numerous other Shokz we’ve had in the past, these simply have tiny speakers and are “open” to allow ambient sound to also be heard passively. The tiny speakers sound fantastic, mind you. Even if you’re looking for something along these lines, I’m sorry to tell you that, at least for me, these will not stay on my ears. Simply leaning forward, laying down, or moderately vigorous activity will allow gravity to snatch these away from your head. I received these as a gift, and I’m really grateful. My kids and wife however were not aware that these weren’t bone conducting, nor that they would have a desire to wander. If I could return them, I would.

These fit great and the sound quality is excellent. The only problem was that I couldn’t hear anything from them while wearing hearing protection for mowing the lawn or at work. I had to return them and get a pair of open air headphones that actually sound better while wearing earplugs.

Wanted to give these a try after having used open run for almost 7 years. If you want to use multi pair you need the app. I didn’t even know there was an app. It easily walked me through how to do it. They’re super lightweight, enough that I was a little paranoid about them falling out, but they’re actually very secure. I dislike is that they need to sit inside your ear, which means I can’t use at work because I use a stethoscope, and I can’t use with earplugs at the gym. So for work and gym, I need to continue using my open run set. That’s my only reason for knocking off the star…because it works how it is intended to but not as well as the open run. Had I never used open run these would be a 5 star for sure.
