"I tend to find them underwhelming because overall sound quality is subpar compared to the more "traditional" in-ear models. Any promise of noise reduction, or a far-fetched claim of noise cancellation, usually doesn't hold true. The first time I used the Shokz OpenFit Pro ($249.95) I was immediately met with better audio performance than I'd just experienced on Sony's new LinkBuds Clip and noise reduction technology that actually lessened some distractions."
"Shokz has a number of over-the-ear hook earbud designs under its belt, and they all carry the OpenFit name. That is also an apt description of these products since they all sit outside of your ear canal, which inherently allows you to remain aware of your surroundings. The company currently offers the OpenFit 2 and 2+ in addition to the OpenFit Air, at prices ranging from $120 to $200."
"The OpenFit Pro looks similar to its predecessors, albeit with a slightly smaller main housing and more pops of silver. Those ear hooks have a titanium wire inside and are wrapped in "ultra-soft" silicone. They're plenty flexible and provide a secure yet comfortable fit for daily wear and workouts. Both earbuds of the OpenFit Pro have tiny physical controls for media playback, volume adjustments, calls and noise settings. The various actions are customizable through the Shokz app."
