I underestimated these Shokz' open-ear headphones - they're now an everyday favorite
Briefly

Shokz' OpenFit 2 earbuds stand out with their sleek design and meaningful upgrades, offering a better audio experience compared to typical open-ear headphones. While they struggled in noisy environments like the gym, they excelled in quieter settings, allowing for a balance between music and awareness of surroundings. The DirectPitch technology enhances sound quality by minimizing leakage and focusing audio directly at the wearer. Overall, they provide adequate bass and clear vocals, making them an appealing alternative for those uncomfortable with traditional earphones or headphones.
I’ve reached for them more often than I expected during the four weeks I’ve been testing them.
Shokz attributes the sound quality to its proprietary DirectPitch technology, which utilizes vents in the earbuds to reduce sound leakage and target the wearer's ear with audio.
When I took them to the park, the OpenFit 2 shined. The quiet outdoors allowed me to hear my music, while the open-ear design kept me aware of my surroundings.
If you don’t like earbuds in your ear or headphones covering your ears, but other bone conduction headphones on the market aren’t as stylish as you’d prefer, the OpenFit 2 might be for you.
