What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Shokz OpenFit Air for its exceptional comfort and secure fit, making them ideal for extended wear without fatigue. The open ear design is highly valued by active users and professionals who require constant situational awareness. Sound quality is considered very good for this style, delivering clear audio and improved bass over previous models. The flexible ear hooks ensure stability during intense activity. While the open design inherently limits deep bass compared to sealed earbuds, the excellent call clarity and reliable performance justify the investment for those prioritizing safety and all day wearability.
Know before you buy
Because the earbuds sit outside your ear canal, you will hear your music alongside ambient sounds. This design prioritizes situational awareness, meaning you won't get the deep bass or noise isolation found in sealed, in-ear models.
Yes, the OpenFit Air is designed with a secure, stable fit that stays in place during movement. Their lightweight construction and open-ear style make them a great choice for running or cycling where hearing your environment is a safety priority.
No, the OpenFit Air does not feature active noise cancellation. The open-ear architecture is specifically engineered to let external sound in, rather than blocking it out.
The lightweight design is specifically built for extended wear. Since they do not insert into the ear canal, they avoid the pressure and fatigue often associated with traditional silicone-tipped earbuds.
The earbuds feature intuitive touch controls located on the exterior. These allow you to play, pause, skip tracks, and answer calls directly from the device without needing to reach for your phone.
