Big fan of these. I’ve been using Shokz for a few years. The open fit was ok….but the battery life was short and finding the function tap spot was annoying. Not surprised they upgraded that to a button.
The Bose has slightly less sound quality but this is due to the orientation of the speaker compared to the Open Fit.
The Bose battery is far better. The immersive sound is way cool. The way they wear is top of class. The fit is super comfy and they hold firm.
The Bose seems to incur more signal interference…but not enough to be a bother.
Overall, I love them. Can’t wait to see how they improve!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these, about a month ago, have mixed feelings about them. They are very comfortable. Talking on phone, using earbuds, person I am talking to, always say having problems, understanding and hearing what I am saying.
Honestly, I have waited for years for the perfect open earbuds from any manufacturer, and these were 150% worth the wait! My ears are extremely difficult to fit so in-ear buds are not an option. These are comfortable, allow atmospheric noise so I can walk comfortably with my dogs and still hear what's going on around me, and the sound quality is 100% Bose. I'm convinced there are no better open earbuds out there.
Poor phone quality sound but music sound is good when listening
