What To Expect With The SHOKZ OpenFit Headphones

These are the open fit headphones that shock sent me and after testing them out, I was pleasantly

surprised because at first glance, I thought I wouldn't like these. I thought they would be

uncomfortable because of this big bulky part, but after putting them on, after putting the ear loop

around my ear, it was fairly comfortable. But my next worry would be security. I thought these would

fall off because these are just open fit design. They literally just sit on your ear c, on your

ear not inside like a regular ear tip so I thought if I moved my head the wrong direction if I tilted

a little bit too fast too hard that these would fall off but thankfully they feel securely in

place and that's probably because of the ear tip so I can work out with these I can run with these

but because I'm pretty cautious I would avoid intense activities such as jumping up and down

and just swinging my body all over although based on the reviews that these do have people have done

more intense activities such as boxing and this was perfectly fine for them

Now these shocks open fit headphones aren bone conduction headphones even though they kind of look like it They use what called direct pitch which is basically a fancy way of saying these sound good and there minimal leakage but there is some leakage once you

start to increase the volume and thankfully it's not that noticeable. You do have to get pretty

close to the person about a foot if not six inches away to actually hear the leakage coming out of

these. Now the controls are pretty interesting. This is going to be capacitive touch so a simple

double tap will play or pause. Holding it for three seconds will change the track to next or

the previous one but that's the big thing I have an issue with which is the three second hold. I

feel like that might be a little bit too long and I wish that can be customized but you can customize

some things for these. For example EQ modes. You can change the EQ modes from standard, vocal, bass

boost, treble boost and custom and these modes do make a big difference. My favorite would be the

bass boost but one thing I noticed is when I do put that mode they kind of vibrate more in my ear

and it tickles me a little bit. And you can also customize what happens when you tap or hold

but the options are limited And one thing I found annoying about the controls is when I do tap or hold I am moving the headphones ever so slightly so it kind of goes out of position so I would occasionally have to just reposition just to make sure that these are on correctly

Now most Bluetooth headphones have a range of 10 meters or 33 feet and these open fit are the exact same but the thing about these is they actually surpass the limit

So I was going up my driveway which is more than 33 feet and I was able to go all the way up and I had no issue hearing whatsoever

So I went inside, put my phone in the basement, went to the first floor and I had no problem listening to music

I went to the second floor and this is where I have problems with my other earbuds

This is where I start to cut off. But thankfully these open fit worked perfectly fine

And I was even still able to use the controls. I was able to tap to play and pause and hold to change the track

So these have an IP54 rating which do offer some protection against dust and water

But they are by no means waterproof. They are sweat proof though

Now, in case you're curious about the microphone quality of the Shox OpenFit, and here what the audio sounds like on the Shox OpenFit headphones And if I bring it closer to my face here what they sound like And if you somebody that wears glasses like myself one thing you might ask is can you actually wear these with these open fit and the answer is yes I have these both on and I can comfortably put them on I can

take them off. I can put them on. I can take these off. I can put them back in. Oh I gotta make sure I

put it in correctly and nothing happens. They're perfectly fine. I can use them with or without it

Now who exactly are these open fit for? So if you're somebody that genuinely doesn't like putting

things deep inside your ear, you find it uncomfortable, then you'd probably like these

Or if you're somebody that just wants to be more aware of your surroundings. So maybe you're jogging

at night and you want to make sure you hear the car coming. Maybe you're a trucker and you want to

be aware of your surroundings so you make sure you're safe on the road. That would probably be

more geared towards you. Now who shouldn't get these? For starters, if you're somebody that just

doesn't like things hanging over your ear, you probably shouldn't get these. If you're somebody

that wants that active noise cancellation function and just wants to be fully immersed

in the music, then these won't be for you. So hopefully this video gave you the right

information of what to expect with these Shox OpenFit headphones
