——Hear From Experts and Our Consumers
As true wireless open earbuds, OpenFit 2 has garnered widespread acclaim for its refined sound quality, secure and comfortable fit, impressive battery life and other innovative features.
For first-time users, these earbuds are a game changer. But even for media professionals and experienced users of true wireless earbuds, OpenFit 2 stands out among industry benchmarks, like AirPods and Powerbeats Pro 2, rivaling them in audio clarity, open-ear comfort, and stability during wear.
Additionally, the upgrades from the previous generation have been particularly well-received by both reviewers and users alike.
Here are some of the highlights:
One of the most praised features of OpenFit 2 is its open-ear sound quality, which utilizes DualBoostTM Technology and OpenBassTM 2.0 to deliver powerful low-frequency vibrations and sparkling highs. One consumer, Steve F Nevil, did not mince words when he wrote, “Sound quality is excellent, and boy am I a snob about that.” Another consumer, Ryan S, commented on not only the quality of the sound but the degree of privacy that OpenFit 2 provides its listeners, “Sound is rich and clear and, no, others can't hear what I'm listening to even with the volume cranked.”
But what’s the interplay between sound quality and situational awareness? Some users, like Michael, found it to be seamless: “When wearing these, it’s almost like the music is being Bluetoothed into my brain. It’s a perfect balance of being able to hear my music and being able to hear my surroundings. ”
That said, industry professionals offered a more nuanced take. Digital Trends, the largest independent premium technology publisher, wrote in its review: “In fact, they’re louder than several competitors including the Soundcore’s Aerofit 2, C40i, and AeroClip. There’s an appreciable amount of bass, though, like most open-ears, competing external sounds may reduce your ability to hear it.”
OpenFit quickly developed a reputation for stability and comfort, thanks to its Dolphin Arc ear-hook design and Ultra-Soft SiliconeTM exterior. With OpenFit 2, Shokz aimed to raise the bar even higher through its upgraded golden spiral design and Ultra-Soft SiliconeTM 2.0 exterior.
So what’s the verdict? According to DigitalTrends, “The most comfortable earbuds you can buy are now even better.”
Consumers particularly value the flexibility of OpenFit 2, the way its soft and adaptable design can accommodate every ear shape. “As someone with small ears,” wrote Lee, “Finding workout headphones that actually work has been a nightmare. Shokz have been a total game changer. No slipping, no ear pain, and no distractions while working out.”
Consumers also noted the versatility of OpenFit 2 across a variety of activities. “I'm a long distance runner,” wrote one user, AlexJouJou. “These fit well for walking, running, and just doing chores and listening to audiobooks. They fit my very tiny ears and do not fall off.”
Of course, fit and comfort can be very subjective. One user wrote: “Very comfy! A little hard to get used to at first but again, I love them. I will say that once I take them off it almost feels like I still have them on my ears” (GKHolbrook). By the same token, a different user wrote: “Once I put them on and started running, it was easy to forget they were actually there. It’s certainly a comfortable fit. I can wear them with a hat without any issue which is nice” (Michael).
When OpenFit was launched, consumers and industry professionals both struggled with the touch controls. While they added convenience for people on the go, they also led to miscues and accidental touches. To remedy this and provide users with more precise control, Shokz added physical buttons to the OpenFit 2.
This upgrade was applauded by consumers and industry professionals alike. DigitalTrends wrote, “They’re easy to press, even with a thin set of gloves. With single-, double-, and triple-click gestures, there are now more than enough options for controlling playback, call management, volume, and voice assistant access.”
OpenFit 2 was even compared favorably to its competitor, Beats Studio Buds. “The physical buttons are way more intuitive than the Beats,” wrote Lee, “which I’d always accidentally press when adjusting.”
OpenFit 2 is designed for all-day use, offering up to 11 hours of battery life with a single charge and up to 48 hours of total listening time with the charging case. It also features Quick Charge, providing 2 hours of additional listening time with a quick 10-minute charge.
Consumers raved about these capabilities. Chris Reisiger wrote, “The battery life is awesome (I have had them for about a month and charged them once). I’d recommend these to anyone and would purchase again.” Another consumer, Christina Criminger, noted just how effortless it was to power up: “Battery life is excellent and with the included charging case will charge while not listening.”
So, can OpenFit 2 really last all day long? According to DigitalTrends, “With the OpenFit 2’s claimed 11 hours of life between charges, all-day use is now conceivable.”
Conclusion
Whether it's immersive sound quality, all-day wearing comfort, or rock-solid stability during intense workouts, OpenFit 2 continues to exceed expectations. As a fitness-friendly, all-scenario true wireless headphone, OpenFit 2 delivers flagship-level performance across the board and has earned an impressive 4.6 rating on Amazon from consumers.
If you're looking to elevate your workout experience with an open-ear design that keeps you connected and motivated, OpenFit 2 is more than just a solid choice — it's a must-have. But don’t just take our word for it. Try it for yourself and hear the difference.
