Honor Choice Open-Ear

[@KrazyVideoChick]

I got my first pair of open ear earbuds yesterday and I am OBSESSED! They are sooooooo comfortable and they don't make my ears sweat or anything. Wish I found out about these sooner.

[@Minkah60]

Which one's did you get!!???

[@insidetechltd]

🙌🏼

[@LOOKn4WRD]

I've been using the the 1more s50 for several months now. They eq nicely using my phones built in equalizer. I always forget I'm wearing them, they are so light and comfortable. I really like the wear sensor and the mike quality. Battery life is great. I charge them once every 2 weeks. The touch controls definitely aren't great, but for volume and track control, they are okay. The multipoint works perfectly with android, apple and windows. I only wish 1more would update the app with more features to control them better.

[@insidetechltd]

Ah that's great to hear!

[@pickyaudio]

I'm researching open earbuds for my work as an EMT, and have watched several of your videos. Thanks for doing thorough reviews! I use earbuds for directions while driving and need to be able to hear my surroundings, wear reading/sunglasses, and make calls. I prefer the clip-on earbuds because of how I wear reading/sunglasses. Will you review the clip-on styles soon?

[@insidetechltd]

First of all, thank you for your service 🙏🏼 but also yes! I’ve just ordered the new Bose open earbuds, for instance. I’ll post some kind of review on them either way (even if they don’t make it into the planned video). I expect to review more too going forwards!

I have Oladance 2 now and really been considering the 1More S50. For me, the most important feature is multipoint connection that works. Many have it, but I have heard some reviewers state that is didn't work so well with 1More S50s. Has anyone had both oladance and S50s using multipoint and had any issues with either?

[@insidetechltd]

Well unfortunately one company is good for sound quality and the other is good for comfort. I would start with Shokz and try them because they are cheaper. If the sound quality is good enough for you, you're done. The comfort is by far better with Shokz. If not, you can then try Oladance

[@mydogeatspuke]

Aerofit pro are terrible. EQ is useless. Very uncomfortable.

[@DOWNR4NGE]

I'm not dissing this guy but I think Anker has paid people to make these kinds of comments on these types of reviews. Anker is a great company but the Aerofits and Aerofit pros and basically the same (I had both). The volume is NOT loud at all.

[@RelakS__]

shokz openfit: I think mine broken now (right bud have some buzzing with stronger basses), because I used it almost always on full volume. Why? Because otherwise the noise around me (e.g. street) is too loud to listen to anything. However, I have found out that if the earbud would be like 5mm closer to the ear canal, it could run with like half volume, it would have better sound quality, and you could still hear your surrounding.

[@EV_Jojo]

@insidetechltd Did you notice differences in audio speaker quality, when these headphones are connected to a PC (e.g. Teams)? I'm using the OpenFit since weeks and it "switches" from good audio quality (Bluetooth Stereo?) to bad "quality" if used as "Headset". I think other Headsets (e.g. Jabra's) are also using better audio profile, when used as Headset. Could you see this at the others of the headphones?

[@insidetechltd]

I think some earbuds have better bluetooth profiles for working with PCs. I'll be honest though, this wasn't a big part of my testing and I don't use Teams on PC. I'm not sure which is the best for that particular use case, sorry!

[@imigrantpunk]

@InsideTech How do the JVC HA-NP35T True Wireless Earphones stack up against others in this list?

[@insidetechltd]

Not great. Suffer from some of the issues other early entries to this space had, like a poor fit and bulky design. Mainly the sound quality doesn't stack up against these 5 though

[@malcolm341]

@@insidetechltd Thanks, I ordered the Shokz since I've never tried open ear before and the Bose seemed a bit expensive for a first try at these. I have constant tinnitus in my ears and the apple airpods make the problem more noticeable because they block the ear canal, I used them for a while and I think they made my tinnitus worse, that and they constantly disconnect from my PC while I'm using them. I have Senheizer over the ear headphones which I used for years before getting airpods, but they're just too hot to go back to now. Hopefully open ear is a nice balance between sound and heat.

[@mikesheppard1966]

I just bought the s50's and I have watched almost all reviews on it and many people mention the burn in of the buds... my question is, did you do the full burn in? Several places mention the 12 hour burn in.... but that is for only 1 of 4 phases...each 12 hours long!!! that is 48 hours playing frequencies while your phone is busy with it.... did you do this in order to do a full and complete review?

[@insidetechltd]

Don't worry about it. This is the type of thing that can be useful for ultra high-end headphones, but it's not necessary here with these earbuds. The feature wasn't implemented specifically for the earbuds, it's a 1More feature they often add in to the app, but it makes a negligible amount of difference to the sound quality. I tested it out to completion purely for the sake of being thorough (and because 1More has a history of app bugs) but I couldn't hear any difference whatsoever. I've got a pair that I didn't do the burn in with side by side with the ones I did...no difference. So you can ignore it

[@robj474]

Great video. The JBL are spot on sound wise for me, I didnt think open style could have decent bass but they're great. Id tried some budget options (a couple of sub £50 Anker ones, which got me hooked on the concept but weren't quite there with the sound. The JBL's are in a different league.

Which pair has the loudest volume i work in a noisy environment, im tired of stuff in my ears so im seeking an open type i purchased the JBL ones but it wasn't loud enough

[@insidetechltd]

Shokz are the loudest of these 5. But because of the difference in sound signature it does vary. They seem the loudest because the mids and upper mids are the loudest (but some of the other frequencies may technically be quieter)

What would you recommend for podcasts and calls?

[@insidetechltd]

Probably 1More. Best for calls, and all of them are good enough for podcasts

[@muddin8097]

Does the 1more s50 automatically switch to mono if you are only using one ear?

[@insidetechltd]

So what i've found is that if I'm using both and I put one back in the case, it doesn't always switch to mono. However if I only take one out of the case to start with, it'll be on mono. When I take the second one out it can take a while to switch over to stereo again. So I guess the answer is that you can definitely have mono playback using only one, but the automatic 'switching' is not very reliable

[@mannykhan7752]

Great video. I think Soundcore imo are the safest choice in terms of the best bang for the buck (or pound) as a reliable, long lasting earbud.

The soundcore is NOT good if you need loud volume.

Please give me an advice : what should i purchase because i want a new headphones, good mic in calls, decent sound and to hear the environment when i ride on my bike. Thanks for you help ! Great reviews and videos !

[@insidetechltd]

Thank you! I honestly wouldn't recommend open earbuds for calls on a bike. You get so much external noise and wind spoiling calls. Open earbuds are great for cycling (and safe) but just not good for calls. If you still want an open design though, I think you could just get lucky and find a pair that's 'good enough'. So maybe start with the call winner and see if that's an improvement over the opencomm. Could you buy from somewhere with a good return policy, for example?

Comfort is subjective, but I would say definitely not. OpenRock Pro are much bigger, heavier and bulkier - and therefore less comfortable

[@Enhanz]

​@@insidetechltdIc, what about Aerofit Pro?

I want sth that doesn't touch the concha and looser earhooks would be nice

[@GANSAI12]

Thank you so much for this video. Very insightful. You have provided feedback on multiple aspects for each of these ear phones. That's the best part. Some people like comfort, some others like sound quality and some others might look into the controls part. Your feedback on each of these - really helped us. My story goes like this. My initial pick was Soundcore aerofit and not pro. A very good one, lighter and splendid audio output. But it's too small to my ear. A perfect fit to my wife's ear though. So thankfully it is being used. I then bought Soundcore aerofit pro. Returned in a few hours. God, I cannot bear its weight. Your review certainly tells us it is heavier than the first 3. But you said you can wear it on your ears for a few hours if need be. That's impossible for Pro. If possible, please add Soundcore aerofit in your list instead of Souncore aerofit pro. I am big fan of open ear type. So I decided to see reviews on open ear earbuds. I picked yours and learnt a lot. Never ever knew JBL has an open ear type. Never ever heard of Shokz and 1more. My need is to have a lighter open ear earbuds, which is ligter, cheaper and yet very good in mic and sound aspects. I was tempted to go for shokz, but to me, I found it expensive. Compromised on 2 grams of weight and went ahead and bought 1more. Awesome pick. I am enjoying it. Thank you brother.

[@insidetechltd]

Thanks a lot! Might I suggest Shokz new OpenFit Air? They keep all the best bits about the OpenFit but come at a lower price! They might be the lightweight earbuds you're looking for 👉🏼 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoHCg52tm7Fjerc

Thanks for the great review! I'm currently trying to pick open earbuds for all day use + use at work (I need to hear alarms around me, so I rather should not go for in-ears or over ears there). After a few reviews I still fear to pick the wrong piece, because I guess I have kinda small ears, in comparison to the (mostly male) people who review these.. And seeing this comparison the biggest ones would offer the best soundquality. Any hints on the fit of these earbuds on smaller ears? I was going for the Soundcore Aero fit pro before I've heard that they are not loud enough and not of such a good sound quality..

[@insidetechltd]

I think this design is actually quite flexible in terms of size - so all of them should still cater to smaller ears without issues. Unless you have particularly tiny ears (in which case specialist products may be needed, and I couldn't speak to those), then I think you'll be fine

[@FoodBooksRunning]

@@insidetechltd Thank you!

[@Moessy706]

After watching so many reviews I see now that sound quality is subjective. I bought the Oladance OWS Pro and returned them because I also bought the Shokz Openfit and immediately loved the sound of the Shokz. It was very evident to me they had better sound, not even close. Yet here it is backwards. The Shokz got a really low sound quality score and the Oladance got top score. And here is another shocker for anyone interested in reading more. I really seek to find best sound quality on over ear buds. I don't like earbuds that stick into my ear canal. Therefore I've had a few: I even just bought the Bose Open Earbuds Ultra and was hugely disappointed, will be returning them. Every reviewer I saw said the sound quality was WOW on the Bose! They even compared it to the Shokz Openfit that I love and they said it beat the Shokz. So I bought it to try it for myself. I was really excited, something that will sound better then the Shokz?! Nope! Not to me. The Bose have a really sharp harsh sound, I don't like it, is that sound quality? They don't even have a nice bass sound like the Shokz. I've tried using the EQ but they are not even close to sounding as good and warm as the Shokz to me. Maybe I don't know what sound quality is but to me the Shokz Openfit have the better sound then the Oladance & Bose I've mentioned here. I have had and used all kinds of expensive earphones and still use some inside the ear earphones but very rarely this past year. I'm really into over the ear ones now. I’ve owned $500 wired in ear Shures 535, $400 Ultimate Ears Triplefi 10vi in ear phone buds, $550 AirPods Max, $250 AirPods Pro 2 and other cheaper ones. I hold these expensive models in high regards. The best one being the Shures 535. But what I’m striving for now is the best over earphone, not-inside you ear earphones. And it seems I will just have to try them for myself because everyone’s taste is subjective. In reality I really don’t need to keep searching because the Shoks Openfit really impress me. I think I just need to ignore reviews that say they are low sound quality and stop looking over the fence searching for a greener grass.

[@insidetechltd]

You're absolutely right: it is subjective! Everyone hears differently, so there is no 'correct' answer on sound quality. Whatever sounds good to you as an individual...you're right!

The only thing i'd say would be to perhaps go for one with good clarity, perhaps with a brighter sound signature too. So 1MORE's earbuds would probably be best for that. But all would be fine for audio books so I would factor in other things that are important to you too

Wich sound better, the jbl soundgear or the tozo openbuds?

[@Chris.P.Noodle]

I was hoping to get the opinion of someone who had tried both. The form factor looks identical ( almost as though they are the same bud, branded up for both companies), but at double the price, I'd hope the jbl's would be packing better hardware.

[@bobsgarageFL]

JBL by far! Tozo were junk. I returned them.

[@raeivaj]

Thank you so much for the super thorough review, really great content! With what I have seen here, agree on the 1MORE being the best product overall. I am looking at some earbuds for working all day in the office or at home, walking / running and ideally, to also ski with them while wearing a helmet (hence the absolute necessity of open-ears for keeping situational awareness). Seems like the JBL's could grip the ear more, the Shokz's would interfere less with the helmet due to size, and the 1MORE's just in between these 2 in both categories (plus the larger ear gels for better grip)... A very specialized question but, do you think 1MORE's would ok in these scenarios, specially for skiing? At some degree, I guess the helmet would sort of lock the earbuds into place. Thanks again!

[@insidetechltd]

Thanks a lot! So although I agree with you about the grip on JBL, I would personally try and prioritise the comfort and fit underneath that helmet. JBL's might cause you an issue since they're thicker. The 1MORE ear hooks are actually even thinner than Shokz, so it might actually be those that fit best under a helmet. I'm not sure about your particular one, but I expect the helmet is going to press against any of the earbuds you try - so it might be the case that none of these is any good (sorry, I don't have a ski helmet to test this out and my bike helmet sits above my ears, so it isn't affected). You're right in that the helmet might 'lock' them into place but I do have some comfort concerns - just don't want you to be disappointed if they don't fit underneath!

[@raeivaj]

@@insidetechltd sure, yeah it's just an "ideal" solution that I want to try out, but I am well aware that it might just not end up nicely. Either way these seem like a terrific product for a lot of other purposes! I will put a reminder to update here about the ski case once I buy and test them :) Thanks a lot!

how good is the audio compared to normal buds? meaning: is the 5 of the shokz worth a 5 on the normal earbuds scale or is it more like a 3?

[@insidetechltd]

Open-ear audio is considerably less immersive and less rich in bass compared to in-ear designs. It's a very different experience and hard to compare directly. Remember that the '5' in this video only refers to 5th place out of these 5 featured earbuds. It's not a score out of 10

[@insidetechltd]

No, not tested those

[@TheIObook2024]

Any of these have ANC ?

[@insidetechltd]

Oladance has a 'noise screening' feature, similar to ANC. But it's very subtle, so for the sake of ease the answer is "no" - none of these has ANC

[@imho6645]

Jbl, shokz or huawei freeclip?

[@insidetechltd]

Not tested Huawei's new open buds yet

[@chiaracarboni2969]

Hi! Do you know if the JBL connect to the laptop too?

[@insidetechltd]

Yes, they'll connect with most laptops

[@chiaracarboni2969]

Thank you very much!

[@bit2964]

What about neckbands?

[@insidetechltd]

I can review those if people are interested!

[@rz9wb]

No soundleak test? Using these for calls/streaming with a condenser mic.... Need a soundleak test.

[@insidetechltd]

It's a nice idea, especially for this type of earbuds - i'll try and do it in future for these types of videos

[@cdnmember]

Suggest you try the Soundpeat Go Free 2

[@insidetechltd]

Already got those! They’re not on the same quality level as these 5. But maybe a good budget-friendly alternative

[@ahmetnurisaglik]

Need application for Shokz Openfit in Turkey !!! ???

[@Omer-wx5dh]

aldın mı abi

[@ahmetnurisaglik]

Evet. Çok memnunum. Shokz openfit bana göre en konforlu model. 1 More s50 de iyi. Uygulaması var. Shokz için Uygulama Türkiye de henüz yok. Volume ayarını akıllı saatten yapıyorum.

[@mc-yl9dp]

You should also rate affordability and how expensive they are. Otherwise I still have to look these all up individually

[@insidetechltd]

I think looking them up individually is always a good idea, since prices fluctuate over time, by region and by available discounts. It would be impossible to give accurate pricing information in the video since it always changes

[@sarizonana]

Uggh i really need a pair of this style this saturday weirdley my galaxy buds started to itch sefully bad to the point of not being able to use them. Luckly i had a pair of big wireless headphones and im good with them but i need something more portable for outside of home. Something which wont burn my ears so i need a pair of this style just need to check the ones which ill sacrifice sound the least. That itch made me want to say goodbye for good to in ear. Its strange i just got this reaction since never had it before with in ear earphones or buds. But suddenly this saturday couldnt stand my buds. So i think open ear are my best option for home use ill stick to my over the ear cheapies but i need something similar to keep in my purse. The the closest to over the ears are open ears.

[@AnasAfefey]

Thanks, It was beneficial

[@insidetechltd]

Glad to hear it!

[@jackpytleski7750]

Soundpeats?

[@insidetechltd]

A good budget option, but not as good as these

[@wolfman2603]

@insidetechltd great compare - thx - but one small but significant error --> Soundcore Aerofit are also IPX7 😊🤗

[@insidetechltd]

The AeroFit Pro are featured in the video - IPX5 rated

[@wolfman2603]

@@insidetechltd ok you have right, my mistake🤭, but this is strange that lower version Soundcore AeroFit have higher IPX7 😳

[@MrSouthSioux]

I wish they would combine rhe open ear design with a lossless 2.4ghz dongle for gaming. I would buy day one.

[@insidetechltd]

That would be cool 👌🏼

[@dwaynekeys430]

How do I turn them off

[@insidetechltd]

Put them back in the case

[@alksdng97834y]

I was just googling these for the first time the other day. Good timing

[@insidetechltd]

Ah, excellent!

[@tokohawe77]

Is it annoyingly loud for others around them?

[@insidetechltd]

Honestly it depends on how loud you have them. If you're sat in a quiet place, then probably yes. But generally I would say it's not bad. Maybe walking past someone they might briefly be able to hear you're listening to something, but I wouldn't say that's an issue

[@rico3831]

Best open ear for construction workers?

[@HTSontherun]

Yes I'm interested in this aswell

[@waynebickerton8197]

I have tried most of these, oladance, shokz etc and have to say, they are all complete rubbish when compared to the tozo O2 open ear. The tozo produced real sub bass, and when compared to the likes of my B&O BEOPLAY ex earphones provide a very similar dynamic experience. The tozo are amazing and anyone considering buying one of the expensive (popular) brand versions should buy a tozo as well... The tozo is less than £60 and will blow your mind, even the microphone test I did was great. This review has only focused on popular brands and as such has completely missed a true magical product, which the tozo is... The tozo is the only open ear design I have found with the flexibility to adjust it's position on and within the ear. This is what makes them amazing... Please buy them and thank me later... In terms of this review, the 1more sound the best sound (tozo is vastly better though) the oladance has ok sound but a nice open feel to the sound. The shokz simply suck!!! Not as much as their bone conducting models though which are atrocious...

[@insidetechltd]

I tested the Tozo open ear earbuds for this video...I just found the other 5 better. It's nothing to do with popular names at all - the earbuds I find best make the video. That's all

[@Jay-ws7tv]

Are they annoying if you wear glasses

[@insidetechltd]

1MORE and Shokz not at all. The others...possibly. I personally find them ok even with glasses, but some may find the thicker ear hooks more annoying

[@jeanjasinczuk7543]

I wear glasses with the Shokz and never had any issue. Never even come to my mind there could be an issue! First time I heard about the other earbuds. I rarely use them for listening to music, most of my listening is voice .

[@devintarizkyutami9793]

@@insidetechltdhow about the jbl with glasses?

[@gtccold]

no i have one doesn't bother me

[@Baad.Dad.]

Glasses people ! 🤓 are we screwed for over ear style ? Or fits comfortably under you glasses ?

[@insidetechltd]

Not screwed at all in my opinion! Lots of these options are absolutely fine with glasses too, at least in my opinion

[@dorothy135]

I like the Tozo I got on Amazon so far

[@insidetechltd]

Nice!

[@zulfafazlee8853]

Sound core eurofit pro bestest evererrrrrrr

[@symmetricalastic]

$229 for open ear buds. No way I would probably lose one of them.

[@insidetechltd]

At least they have ear hooks to lower the chance of that happening 🤷‍♂️

[@chrisscott6835]

SHOKZ RULES!!!!
