You lost your competitive advantage of the most comfortable open ear buds generation one that was very light and made all of soft material no metal protrusion and no plastic hard parts. Will buy another comfortable open ear buds for long files as this one is uncomfortable. . . although good sound quality and battery life

I had the original OpenFit and loved how light they were and the fit. The new Pro has amazing sound, better controls, and noise canceling. But the tradeoff is they are much heavier and sit in my full ear opening. I’m not an audiophile so I’m still deciding if the tradeoffs are worth the better sound. I only had to get the Pros because the mic on my originals broke a month after the warranty expired and Shokz offered no way to repair. They did offer a % off coupon code but of course it wasn’t able to be used on the OpenFit Pros. My mystery box item was a drawstring bag that is just meh but great branding for Shokz.

I used my new pair on a trip. The ability to hear my phone while in the airport was minimal. The old pair I could hear even in a busy place. They don’t touch the back of the ear in the same way the ones with a stabilizing band around the neck do. I liked the idea of the freedom from the piece around the back of my neck, but it’s at the sacrifice of clarity and volume.

These have replaced my in ear buds. Because the sound from these headphones are so good for being outside ear headphones. Comfortable to wear for hours as opposed to in ear buds that can cause ear fatigue. So impressed with the sound brought a 2nd set for my son. I have all kinds of headphones, These will not disappoint

Shokz absolutely nailed it with these. They are the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever worn, and they stay comfortable even during extended use. The open-ear design is a major advantage because it keeps me aware of the world around me without sacrificing the listening experience. What really impressed me is the sound. For open-ear headphones, the audio quality is excellent—clear, enjoyable, and far better than I expected from this style. They strike a rare balance between comfort, awareness, and performance. My only recommendation would be an Apple collaboration for a special Apple Edition with Siri support built in more seamlessly. That would turn an already excellent product into something next-level.

Fit and sound great. Much more comfortable to wear than in ear style headphones. Very disappointed that they do not announce Apple notifications, and do not like the singe button configuration. Wish they were more like Powerbeats that had two volume buttons and an on/off button. If they were 25% less, I could understand not having the same basic features, but since they are the same price I’d recommend the Powerbeats due to button conveniences.

I have been trying to find the perfect balance between good sound and the ability to hear what’s going on around me. I’ve been using Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 since they came out and have loved them but, after 3 or 4 hours on the bike, the pressure on my temples starts to get a little annoying. I decided to try the OpenFit Pro and was blown away!! When reviewers say you forget you are wearing them, they are not kidding! And the sound quality is way better than bone conduction. I run them with the noise reduction set at default and they are great! Keep your expectations anchored in reality and these perform better than you can imagine! Of course, going downhill at 48 mph, the wind is gonna wash them out, but at a normal 18-22 mph, the music comes through, sounds good, AND you can still hear the traffic and bike computer alerts. I have finally found what I was looking for. Shokz knocked it out of the park with this one!!! HIGHLY recommended!

I've on ear "pods" overload and headset overload - - most are just NOT comfortable. These by far are about the best so far. Not in love with have to set-up with app, wish you could just connect direct with BT w/o app. Can keep on for several hours before they bother top of my ears, but I do wear glasses so that puts some pressue on them.

I’ve been using Shokz since their first banded style. I love the open ear concept. I definitely prefer the independent ear pieces. My only drawback is the fit. After wearing the for a few hrs the ear fatigue is real. I would love for them to try to make independent ear ones that sit in front of the ear similar to openruns. Also the button is quite small and when I wear these working I like to be able to pause but using my shoulder but can’t with these. Overall I’m happy with the purchase but this is what I would say can improve them.

The OpenFit Pros are easily the best headphones I've ever used. I typically run 4-5 times a week, and after running in these for the past couple of weeks, these have far exceeded any other headphones I've ever used. From the comfort and battery life to the overall sound quality, I could not recommend these headphones enough. 2 Huge Thumbs Up!
