I love Shokz when I'm exercising, especially when I'm cycling outside on the road. There's times where I want to hear music but I need to be super aware of my surroundings with incoming cars, other riders and just having up your ears not completely blocked is a game changer in terms of safety. I have the OpenRun's, and the only gripe I have with them is the battery life and the inside build quality. I say this because I go out for at least 2 hour rides set a medium high volume and by the time I get near home it's already prompting me to charge, and the banded version of Shokz are super prone for the drivers inside to become loose and shake inside the head units and you can't get any repair service for it other than sticking something inside the drivers yourself. Hopefully this iteration fixes a lot of those issues that I've mentioned and I'm sure the sound quality is higher than before. It's always good seeing you upload here and there, Jonathan!

I'd definitely use this for cycling. Not playing music but using it for navigation. I've been trying to use Samsung buds for this but they're not as secure and I constantly have to readjust after every few kilometres of road bumps. The water resistance is super important here but the feature I'm looking at most here is the microphone.

They seem to be very similar to the Oladance Wearable Stereo which I already have. And I am really happy with them. 😊

Sitting in the office jamming and still being able to hear when called by your colleagues is elite

7:26 My favorite feature is the open ear design because my girlfriend hates the feeling of having earbuds jammed into her ears. These would be a perfect birthday gift since she walks the neighborhood daily for at least 45mins and can stay safe while listening to her music or a podcast. Nice 3 and great video as always!

As someone who has issues with normal earbuds saying in my ears, this brand sounds amazing. I am more of a media consumption person, so this would be nice for my EDC. Might be worth trying. Edit: spelling

Currently, I am using Openrun Pro mini for my outdoor activities. Running, commuting (cycling), and mountain biking. I love Shokz products because of the open ear concepts that make you aware of your surroundings.

I love the fact that the sound quality is great and that my ears are still open for outside awareness.

I have been using shokz for years know. I love them because I'm a truck driver and have to be aware of my surroundings. The only downside is the noise of the truck. Some times I'll put the bone conduction speaker on my ear to hear. These new headphones are exactly what I need. Shokz are top notch and have bought six pairs over the years. Great video

Walking my dog is important and I will love that this will help with still staying alert to what is going on around me; especially with drivers that like to ignore stop signs.

My favourite feature is definitely the fact that they don't go into your ears so you are aware of your surroundings. This is such an underrated feature for people who do sports outdoors or just like to be aware of their surroundings. For me? I'm cursed with sensitive ears so I can't wear any in-ear earbuds so I have been searching for something like this with great sound for like forever. Definitely hoping to get one of these!

I'm an architecture student and that means sitting at a table and working constantly for multiple hours on end, switching from my laptop to discussion with fellow students and pausing music again and again breaks the chain of conversation and these seem to have the ability to make that process seamless. These would greatly improve my workflow if I had them.

Being a delivery driver means hearing your surroundings is vital. Being able to hear dogs, customers, and everything in between is important. But, music helps the day go by, so headphones like these are amazing! Great video Jon!

HERE! HERE! i love that i can use them in my job and can hear everybody.

I’ve been using the opencomm from when they were still called aftershokz. Excellent for work but noticeable lack of quality for music but they are a productivity headset. Getting the open fit would great for when I get off of work to go work out.

Having issues wearing any ear buds, the open ear design is amazing and the sound is amazing and natural!

I have a pair of shockz and I love them. I'm deaf in one ear and I can hear perfectly with them. This model looks awesome.

I've been a fan of the Shokz bone conduction since they started. So comfortable and practical for activities like biking or running. Never fully loved the sound and the vibration at higher levels. I'm really hoping this model solves the vibration and improves the sound. The battery life really has me excited.

I love how comfortable and light this is.

this is such a cool product! i would 100% use these at work. i work in a loud building where you really need to be aware of your surroundings, so having that ability with good quality headphones would be amazing!

I love being able to hear my surrounding. By far one of the features I look forward too the most

I’m training for my first half marathon and these would greatly help as I would be able to hear my surroundings as I train in New York City. The low ends would give me that pump on my runs!

The feature I like most is the quick charge. I have owned shokz since the first wired models and mostly use them at work so that I can still hear my surroundings. I recently switched to Oladance and I think these are a direct response as Oladance has a similar design but do not go as far into the ear. A little worried if these would fit since I have small ears. The Oladance sits on top with an angled driver but the sound (especially bass) suffers from this at times. They get 16 hours of usage but the extra battery behind the ear is noticeable (but manageable). Looks like the open fits are currently sold out so I guess I will have to wait to try them for myself.

I’ve used openrun for cycling training long hours to motivate me through and still be able to hear cars and such. These new open fit will be huge as my old ones kept breaking without have a way to collapse or go into a smaller case

These are crazy, wonder if open is the future…

I love that these don't go in your ears! I have never liked the feeling of ear tips in my ears, so I would love to use these :)

I think the best feature is that it’s lightweight and comfortable which makes it much easier to use for outdoor sports like jogging. It’s also safe to use since I can still hear everything around me while I’m out 😊

Just the fact that it’s open ear and still enjoy the music is a plus for me 👍🏽

I love Shokz! As someone who has gets ear infections, it helps a lot that I do not need to put something in my ear that would just make it itchy. I use Shokz for work, entertainment and play.

The fact that they are open ear headphones you got me sold. Don’t get me wrong love my AirPods Pro’s but having bone conduction headphones will just make hearing everything a lot easier. Especially working in retail.

I love listening to podcasts and audiobooks books at work and these let me answer the phone without having to take them out and in.

Love using the shockz for my work. I’m able to hear my surroundings while I watch my son.

I love my shokz openrun. I use them all the time for audiobooks, calls and KZfaq. The loop is repaired with a piece of wire and ziptie after they broke. My next pair will be the openfit 🙂

as my current headphones always fall out, what i like the most is that they will fit in my ears They are perfect 🤩 Thanks for the video

Black colour model looks good and the fin around ear makes it secure and easy for activities and workouts.

Interesting... I have been using the Samsung Galaxy buds live and are my favorite earbuds ever. If I did not rebought them for $40 on black friday last year I would be so down to try these. Open and the hook already sold me 🤯

Definitely for running. The no ear tips are by far my favorite feature

My favorite features are the open design and the comfort. I'm blind, so I need constant audio access to my phone for everything from reading text messages, to navigation apps, to using optical character recognition apps to read my mail, and of course for listening to KZfaq videos.

I’ve been using since they were After Shokz. I got myself into Shokz because the open ear or bone conductor since I run on the road. I used to use in ear headphones but I got no sense of surrounding then I found After Shokz that no I can run and still can hear someone is going to pass me from behind or car honking and still enjoy music with great sound quality.

Being aware of my surroundings is such an important thing but being able to listen to music is such an amazing thing LOVE IT!

I’m the dude that literally cannot find an ear tip that fits…the struggle is real. I’ve never heard of this tech before, so having something not directly in your ears could be a huge win.

My favorite Openfit features is having 2 separate earbuds unlike the classic shokz that have a bar running across the back of the neck. Can't wait for you to send me my openfit in black. Thank you

Always have struggled to find comfortable earbuds, but I listen to podcasts and audiobooks all day at work. These seem interesting.

I like the open-ear design.

I really love Shokz. I've been a fan of theirs since their first-generation product came out. I think this product has completely changed my perception of traditional bone conduction technology.

My favorite feature is definitely the open air design and how light they are. I'm interested in using them for work.

These are great option for someone like me who has tiny ear canals. Normal earbuds just fall off

I definitely love that u can listen music and hear your surroundings at the same time 👍🏽

I would use them for running. Being able to hear your surroundings is super important when running

Love the headband version can’t wait to try these out, need music at work but where I can still here around me

This is so cool! The ability to be aware regardless of what you're listening too is awesome. Also great seeing you post more regularly Jonathan!

Fav feature is that it doesn’t sit in your ears. Don’t know about others but if I’m using in ear earbuds for a long time it starts to get sweaty and gross due to the seal. Would def use this for listening to podcasts outside and for zoom calls lol

That's pretty amazing if they manage to deliver the same sound quality as in-ears in an open-ear setup.

I have to be in video calls all day for my work and sometimes the in-ear headphones can make my ears sore by the end of the day. These look really comfortable and could be used for a long time without any fatigue!

The open aspect and being able to hear around me would be the best benefit for me.

These would be great for walking outdoors when you want to listen to music but also be aware of your surroundings

would definitely use these for runs. being able to hear the environment especially running in the city is huge.

My favorite feature is probably that they are lightweight and don't go into my ears. I can wear them while watching videos in my room but still be able to hear if I'm being called. Have never tried bone conduction headphones so that would be interesting too!

I love my Shokz openrun, and they have an amazing 2 year warranty, which is double the normal warranty here in the states. Bravo to them for backing their products so strongly, and these new ones look amazing!

I think they seem to be perfect all around , almost everywhere you use headphones you need to be aware of your surroundings

Listening to music, while being aware of my environment, is a need I have at the office -not so much at home, or other places.

As a delivery driver for the brown company that will remain nameless, hearing your surroundings is key for safety. I wear one ear bud at a time just to keep my calls and music going.

I watched this video on my Shokz, I can't use regular earbuds cause they give me infections in my ears but the Shokz have worked great for years now, I'm trying to get back into running and these would be great for being aware outside while still listening to my favorite music, especially the songs with real bass

Awesome! Just what I need for cycling! Missing my music and this should work JUST FINE, Jonathan!

Open ear design are great for a real life background soundtrack while going through my day

I’m happy to know that these exist! I run a brain rehabilitation center, and I already use shokz with my patients. The wireless bud design will definitely be more functional!

I'd definitely use it everyday for literally every occasion. My right ear tunnel has a severe deviation from birth and i can't hear music evenly with neither silicone nor airpod style headphones. You are a man of music and you can understand how upsetting it is when not being able to enjoy music fully without disturbing no one in public. These would be a lifesaver for me.

Love how you can exercise with them with the open ear concept. You can jam to your tunes while still talking with your teammates or interact with others. Awesome!

I would use them when my better half is yelling at me when I am busy in meetings.... 🤣

This would be awesome for cycling since being cautious of your external environnement is super important.

I would love these Shokz, because my ears get tired from having earbuds for long periods of time. I feel these will help, since you don’t have to place them inside your ear canal.

You do a great job detailing the pros and cons . These would be great for work where I usually have both hands occupied and the boss seems to call in the middle of rush. Great product

Great review! Never have I ever tried Shokz and would love to try them as someone who’s picked up running over the last several years! Thx Jonathan

I've been using Shokz for over a year now for work. I've used the OpenComm and the OpenRun Pro. They are great for working from home, in the office, or for chasing a toddler around. I like that this provides an open ear headset without the band behind your head. I would love to see a side by side comparison with the Oladance Wearable Stereo to see which is better.

I discovered these earphones today and I've always wanted to train for a marathon now that my first child was born a month ago, so I'd like to use these during my training. Thank you for considering me!

Awareness of your surroundings is super important while working from home with your children around. I’m listening this video with an OpenRun Pro and I almost forget I was wearing them. This definitely a must buy for Shokz users.

I was just looking for new in ear headphones, but without the discomfort. I like the fact that these are open headphones. The ones I currently own hurt. I would love these in beige.

The fact that it doesn’t go in into the ear is my favorite feature. The buds no longer connected to each other is a plus. I would use them for biking and work as I can use then with earplugs.

I had the Shokz OpenRun, I loved the concept of them but in practice they didn't work for me, the band didn't sit on my head right and I could get the speakers close enough. They would have been the best headphones I've ever bought if it wasn't for that. I'm excited to see that the particular problem I had to be fixed.

I would use them for walking/running, and work for sure. I like the ear hook 🪝 design.

Can’t wait to try them on and feel how comfortable they are

My current headset are shokz, but these look next level. I like the design the most.

I love the openrun but you can't lay down with them like you could with these! Great review!

My Dad used the shokz bone conduction headphones every day. He loves the fact that they don't plug his ears while he's out walking in the wild.

As a visually impaired person these would be perfect for me using navigation apps with my iphone. I much rather them not actually in my ears as opposed to transparency mode on AirPods. Great review man 👍🏻

Those look really awesome! I know how awesome this bone conduction ones sound. Would love to try these!

I get fatigue with in-ear buds, I feel I could listen longer with these, well worth looking into for me. It would be the best of both worlds "on ear" feel with in-ear size and function.

I’m about due to replace my three year old Beats Pros, these might be a contender. I like the ear hook design because I use these while cycling in the back country and dirt roads.

I would love these for the gym, basketball, and maybe commuting!

I bought the Shokz when they first came out and wasn’t impressed, but love the idea of not having something jammed in my ears for workouts. AirPod Pros have been great with the transparency option. But again, I would love to try these to see the obvious improvements and fit for a better set of headphones.

Using these while exercising would be incredible! Being outside and having a spatial awareness of my surroundings is critical. Not only that but even when exercising indoors, I could use these to not bother my spouse but still hear everything.

Man that free throw ease feature is pretty sweet.

Love the open ear and love the adjustability for the over ear hook. They sound so comfortable. Got to be able to still hear my kids

Loving the open ear look more and more plus love the color choice

Love them for being light and comfortable! Especially they are not in ear.

The favorite feature has gotta be the open-ear design. Being able to hear the cars passing by while I take a run in the morning while still listening to something *without* having to toggle on a special mode and just having it built into the hardware this way sounds awesome and just like what I need.

I like the low profile. Maybe usable under helmets? (Snowboarding, motorsports). Battery life and quick charge is also awesome 😃

I like the open ear design idea. Looks amazing.

My wife and I both have a pair of Shokz bone-conducting headphones, and she's always struggling with the fit. Something like this that keeps the open ear concept, but slides onto each ear independently means the fit problem largely goes way. Not to mention that she could listen to music while laying down!

I’d use them mountain biking for sure. Always nice to hear hikers and other riders while on the trails.
