1. 5/5First thoughts to an honest review

   I’ve had these headphones for half a year now, I think I can give a pretty good review after have used them on a daily basis during this time. They are very comfortable. Sometimes I forget I have them on, depending on the size that you have, sound quality I would give a 8 out of 10, just comparing high-quality headphones for the same price. But where they really shine, are in the practicality uses, sometimes I’m working with coworkers, clearly listen to their conversations or instructions. Or with a simple press of a button I can pause whatever I’m listening to, And start right where I left off with the same press of a button. Something that can be a bit annoying, Is the surrounding noise can sometimes drown out what I am listening to, for example: If I’m running near construction site, and a lot of noise is going on. That will impale me to clearly distinguish the podcast or music that I’m listening to, even if I have the volume on max, and the headphones are on my head, and the outside noise can be from 25 feet away. Though I have found that if I really want to hear something and still be safe while running through the streets near high traffic, I would put an ear plug in one ear and have the other ear open, so that I can still be aware of the things that are going around, and somehow still distinguished what I am listening to through the bone, conductivity of the headphones. Like I said, kind of annoying, But I really value their comfort level, and practicality.

2. 5/5Audio freak

   So I have been involved in audio for 30 years. Both the design of audio products and the installation of them. As such I have tons of gear. I have really expensive in-ear and on-ear products, and professional monitoring equipment. That stuff is great but, lots of time I don’t want anything over or in my ears. I liked the situational awareness Shokz products offer and have many of their bone conduction products but, while useful, they weren’t my preference. I was looking for a more involved immersive sound with a larger bandwidth and the ability to take phone calls as well. I had a pair of the original Openfit which I quite liked but wished they had a bit more bandwidth and went a little louder when in higher ambient noise environments. Also, as wearer of glasses, they became a little uncomfortable for me. While at the 2025 CES show I tried out the Openfit2 and was very happy. So happy I went immediately to the store (like right after I left their booth) and grabbed a pair. The bandwidth I was looking for was there and the new design is way more comfortable; I’m not bothered wearing them with glasses anymore. Lastly, I always do test calls to the family and ask how I sound. I’m told that most products I have I sound muffled or “Bluetooth” like. When I called with this one (latest firmware update) they said I sounded clear. I do a lot of conference calls so audio quality is important to me. Bottom line, get these! Well worth the money, totally comfortable, easy controls with the addition of ‘action buttons’. I love them.

3. 5/5Resident Surgeon Use Case

   I use the open run pro and the pro 2 about 14 hours a day minimum. When I’m on call it could be 30 hours straight. When I’m napping on call I’ll use the mini band version which allows for my head to rest comfortably on a pillow while still being able to take calls just by pressing a button and not have to worry about the headphones falling off in my sleep. When I’m doing a procedure these are critical for phone conversations since there’s zero chance of them falling off into the patient. I can take a call doing anything at anytime because I literally never take them off. If I’m scrubbed in I can hit the button with my shoulder. They don’t obstruct normal conversations in person. This is all possible because the fit is perfect. 100% comfort. They really have become a normal part of my head when I’m at the hospital. When I’m not at the hospital I use them around the house or in the car. During travel on airplanes using foam earplugs enhances the audio quality while providing all the sound dampening effects of whatever foam plugs I choose. These headphones have become a necessary component of my residency workflow. I’ve convinced the entire anesthesia department to get them and now they never take them off either. More and more surgeons are using them all the time. Can’t say enough good things about these headphones. Battery life is also excellent.

4. 5/5Great Product & App

   I really enjoy this product & support app. I like the various preset EQ features, which go with about anything. I especially like that “classic” uses bone conduction only. Shokz makes is very easy to create your own personalized EQ settings if one of theirs isn’t to your liking. You can create more than one (I’m not sure how many) and name them each whatever works for you. Personally, I am happy with the volume; often times I’m listening to audiobooks with my driver’s side window down & can still hear the low range intonation of the voices (which is harder for me to hear than music, esp when voices soften). I’ve had great responses from Shokz customer service from questions & settings I was confused about when I was a new user. I’m very happy with Shokz brand (open ear headphones & app), and am a happy user for life as long as they continue to provide quality products & services. I’m never going back to earbuds again. I even purchased 2 new sets of smart earbuds (one I haven’t opened), and I haven’t used them in a long time (the one set has 20 hrs usage on it). I’m not missing conversations with my spouse (relationship improvement), buds aren’t falling out of my ears, and I’m no longer experiencing ear skin irritation & infections from constantly using earbuds (no longer exposed to harmful chemicals in the plastics & silicones earbuds use). THANK YOU SHOKZ!

5. 5/5Open Air 2

   I’ve tried plenty of gadgets over the years, and the Shokz OpenFit 2 earbuds have quickly climbed to the top of my favorites list. These little wonders sit just outside your ears, delivering crisp, lively sound—think deep bass and clear highs—while letting you stay tuned in to the world around you. Whether I’m out for a walk or keeping an ear on the house, they strike a perfect balance, and the 11-hour battery life means they’re ready for whatever the day brings. For someone who values freedom to move and connect, these feel like a breath of fresh air. What really wins me over is how comfortable they are—light as a feather at just over 9 grams each, with soft silicone hooks that hug your ears without a fuss. They’ve got a handy button for skipping tracks or tweaking volume, which is a nice touch when my hands are full, and the sound’s so rich it’s hard to believe they’re not tucked inside your ears. Pair that with a sleek case that bumps the total playtime to 48 hours, and it’s clear Shokz put heart into making these practical for folks like me who juggle family and a busy life. By the end, Shokz OpenFit 2 feels like a trusty companion—great for enjoying music or a podcast without losing touch with what’s around you. The sound’s a step up from the first version, and while they’re not cheap at $179, they’re worth it for how they blend into your day. It’s the kind of thing I’d recommend to anyone who loves a good tune but still wants to hear the kids or the birds outside—a simple, honest tool that lifts your spirit and keeps you grounded. I’m already looking forward to my next stroll with them!
