SHOKZ OpenFit – Open-Ear True Wireless Bluetooth Headphones with Microphone, Earbuds with Earhooks, Sweat Resistant, Fast Charging, 28HRS Playtime, Compatible with iPhone & Android

These sit comfortably over your ear and employ bone-conduction functionality to work. I was a big fan of the original Shokz Bone headphones… but the downfall for me was the connecting bridge between the headphones. Being cursed (or blessed… lol) with a big head… they never quite fit like I wanted. These fit perfectly. The sound quality is great. I have an Samsung S23 Ultra… I can easily watch movies, listen to music, or take phone calls with these. Button functionality is simple and easy. Pairing was easy too. There is a free app from Shokz that you can download (but it is not necessary). The case seems to hold a decent charge for on-the-go charging. Type C plug (cable included). Came 90% charged. Nice square case and includes a small draw-string bag if you want to add some additional protection to your case. Great find and purchase. I originally had my Samsung buds… but they starting going out after 2yrs of use. They were sorta annoying like most in-the-ear buds are… these have none of those issues.

Never cared for earbuds, but these don’t actually enter the ear. So lightweight and comfortable that I forget I’m wearing them. And the sound quality is superior. Ambient noises disappear, the battery lasts for hours and hours, and recharges incredibly fast.

I’ve had these for about 3 weeks and WOW they are the best. When I first got them I put them in so tightly that they put pressure against the back of the inside of my ear, which was uncomfortable over time. I think I’m so used to always feeling my headphones in my ear that this initially felt like the correct way to wear them. The key to prevent this is to gently put them on so they are just resting. Here is the best way I can describe it:1) When you twist the arm back over the top of your ear, twist it all the way back as far as it can go to where you run out of room and it puts pressure on the top and back of the earbud (part that is inside the ear). The back is almost pointed down at this point.2) Give the whole earbud about a quarter turn forward.3) Pull the inside of the earbud away from your head just a bit, then re-situate it so it’s gently resting in your ear.I can wear them like this for hours. It will feel weird at first like they’re going to fall out, but you’ll get used to it! They are so comfortable at that point that sometimes when I’ve stopped listening to something, I have to actually reach up and feel to make sure I’ve put them back in the case. There have been multiple times where I feel for them and they aren’t there. Like I literally can’t tell the difference. Your hearing is also not impaired, meaning you can turn down whatever you’re listening to and have a full conversation with someone without issue. It also IMO makes them safer to wear in public. They are great to talk on the phone with too, and the microphone works very well. Lastly, I worked out in them the other day doing a combination of weight lifting and cardio (including jumping exercises). I have somewhat oddly shaped ears so I’m usually having to adjust even the best headphones constantly while doing any physical activity. I was shocked to realize I didn’t so much as touch these the entire time!! For the first time I was about to forget about my headphones completely and focus on my workout. I will update if things change, but so far I’m genuinely SOLD.

The purpose of these is NOT to noise cancel, Idk why Amazon wants me to rate that.I love these!! I use them every day! They’re great for walking out doors and except when cars are driving past me, I can hear spoken words very clearly. I use them for music, podcasts and phone calls. I cannot overstate how much I love them! I used to have the trekz that went around the back of the neck and used bone conduction through the jaw. I sometimes wondered how much of it was actually ‘air conduction’ like these.Very rarely, the top of my ear gets a little tired from wearing these for hours, but honestly I often forget I’m wearing them. I love that I can still hear my surroundings. Not crystal clear, but I need to be able to hear traffic and notice when someone is trying to get my attention and that’s when I shut them off rather than needing someone to shout for me.These are worth the 190.- I paid for them. I’m so glad I got them. They are a real upgrade from the bone conduction headset I owned from the same company. Seriously, I love them.

The only thing I would improve is wireless charging one day. But not a big problem because I have been looking for @8years for a pair of headphones /earbuds for my small ears that are comfortable. I’m 50 and I have purchased provably over 100 pairs if not more through the years to only be let down over and over again. The best ones I could find and fit were normally the cheap ones with poor sound quality.The Shokz has Apple pairing and some hardware. The fit is absolutely perfect. I also enjoy being able to turn them up enjoy what I’m listening to and be aware of my surroundings unless I’m at home all alone.Wonderful design and I sincerely Thank the company for thinking out side the box and Amazon for helping me find these. Thank you
