Shokz OpenFit 2+
87 out of 100 medium confidence 29 reviews
The Shokz Open Fit 2+ is widely praised for its lightweight, comfortable open-ear design that stays secure during sleep and workouts while allowing ambient awareness. Users consistently highlight the impressive battery life, clear sound quality with balanced mids and treble, and the effective companion app with EQ and Dolby Audio. A few reviewers note that the silver charging case looks cheap and that sound distorts at high volumes above 50-60%, while some experienced initial discomfort adjusting to the ear hook style.
