These are my second pair

These are my second pair of Shokz and my first impression is good. I used my last pair 3-4 times per week for several hours and they lasted 2 1/2 years. These are even lighter and were just as easy to pair and use. I do feel as though the sound is not as full as it was with the pair I purchased in 2022. The sound equalizer application looks useful, and I have tried several settings which does improve the quality of audio books.
Bass and clarity is much better than anticipated with the bone conduction technology. No complaints. Good battery life; use for music, audio books, and calls around the house and out on the trail.
I picked these up because previous Openfit’s power button broke-the same way another pair broke before them. Why make the power button so fragile if it needs to be long-pressed so often?
The Openfit 2 has the same, or worse, feel to the button. I bet it lasts less than a year.
Also, the Openfit 2 is more susceptible to water damage than I expected. I didn’t really understand that the new tech for lower vibration just meant literal speakers were added to the rig. It feels like a downgrade in terms of longevity since I use these while working outside all day everyday. Now I have to be more careful about sweat and rain than I did with the original Openfit.
The sound quality is better though. Battery is about the same or worse. Bluetooth range is a little better. The app is necessary, but useful for the EQ options.
Love them! Hook up on phone and work computer at the same time! Won’t fall off riding horses! I love the ability to hear what is going on around me. I do have to add plugs if watching something on a road trip, someone else driving has the radio up. . Love them!
These headphones are what I’ve always needed. I can wear them all day with no discomfort and hear my music and phone calls while staying aware of my surroundings. At home I love wearing my headphones for podcasts and music but I can never hear my family while I’m in the kitchen or another room, with Shokz open ear headphones I can still enjoy my music and still be connected with my family. I love them at work and at home I wear them everyday. I even recently wore them to universal studios and I loved having the ability to answer my phone and talk while being able to direct and maneuver through crowds. Would definitely recommend!
