Holy cow the mic test was sooo much better with the Shokz than the Bose. I think for me the price point is still the kicker. Great review man!

Thanks for creating a KZbin video that isn't "click bait" expressing some negative opinion about either one of these ear phone is as often the case these days. You present the facts with real world comparisons of each and ask the viewer to decide. That's the fair way to do a comparison. Your real world comparison between the call quality was definitely discernible giving the nod to the OpenFit, however call quality didn't make it on my criteria list since I mostly listen to music. I ended up with Bose OpenAir Ultra from the criteria I established for myself: So I started out with Sennheiser Momentum True 3 earbuds. They irritated my ears so I returned them. Thinking that all in ear earbuds are not all the same I went out on a limb and purchased The BOSE Quiet Comfort II's and the same thing they irritated me but because I didn't know about the open ear category at the time I kept them living with the discomfort thinking that this is as good as is gets. Enter this new category of open ear head phones that I discovered. Hmmm these might be good to look into. So now as a experienced consumer I set up some criteria for open ear head phones and I wanted all the boxes that were important to me to be checked or I would take a pass: * They have to comfortable and not hurt my ears. CHECK * They have to be lightweight and less bulky like all the other open air head phones. CHECK * They must sound good realizing they won't sound as good as in ear head phones CHECK * They must be comfortable in bed when I lay on my side. These are the FIRST headphones I can wear to bed and fall asleep to music while wearing them. With all the others it's like wearing a light bulb sticking in your ear when I lay on my side. BIG CHECK * Noise cancellation wasn't important to me because I have both BOSE N700 and Sennheiser Momentum 4 over the ear head phones for noise cancellation when I'm mowing the lawn or on an airplane. CHECK While I would like these to be more affordable they check all the boxes for me and that's why I bought them. While the other open ear specs are better. I don't listen to specs. I listen to music and I think they sound great! David

@@jaynosowsky9708 Well judging by the shape of his ears he doesn't have the required cartilage to wear them at a 45 degree angle. BTW an update. I exercised the Best BUY contract service that has a 60 return policy and returned them at day 59. I really wanted to like the Bose but they didn't get loud enough for me. My ears are pretty flat so the Bose didn't go in my ear canal enough for the volume I was looking for. I ended up getting the Shokz and they can get really loud. The comfort is OK but not like the Bose. I'm going to keep them and at half the price. They're a China product which I take issues with. I'm waiting for Bose to make couple sizes of the Open fit that will go further in my ear canal. David

Great review. I use the Shokz OpenRun Pro for working out but not ideal for my daily driver. I'm going to have to try the Open Fit. Word on the street is that OpenFit firmware update includes multipoint connection. The Bose are too expensive maybe during next Black Friday the price will come down $150-$200. The Shokz OpenFit mic performance was better.

@techdeezout9201 3 ай бұрын

I went running with the Bose ear cuffs, and when you’re out running, the Bose will settle onto your ear lobe. The sound actually comes alive. I turned off the immersive sound to get a more direct sound. I wore the shokz buds to work and I started getting ear aches with the hook. The sound is really good. I found myself getting frustrated when I answer and end calls. Since the open fits are not snug in the fitting, when I tap the buds, I have to hold the bud with one finger and tap with another finger. The buds sort of hang or hover over my ear canal, they don’t sit snug. If it wasn’t for the price I would take the Bose any day. The Bose firmware update fixed a lot of issues, but I was not able to try the multipoint feature as I ended up returning them due to the steep price tag.

Sam's has the Shokz on sale as of May 8, 2024 and will last until June 8, 2024. $30 off. Thanks for the sound test, that was awesome! I just purchased my pair today and the Shokz sound is awesome! They feel so light and they have not budge at all. I have very small ears and 99% of the ear buds just fall out of my ear every time I wear them.

My biggest beef with any of the newest bluetooth/open fit headsets, is the fact that you have to carry the freaking case around with you if you want to shut them off. Can you please tell me if the Bose open fit has the ability to power them down or disconnect them from your phone by utilizing any of the buttons on the earbuds themselves? I don't want to have to pull my phone out of my pocket, pull the drop down menu and toggle off bluetooth when I want to disconnect the earbuds if I don't have the case with me. I like to leave bluetooth toggled on at all times and power the devices off individually if need be.

Thanks very much for this comparison. I am old timer die hard Bose fan, and I didn’t know they had this product. But I do have the Shokz and I’m very happy, I’m a bit confused with your review because I hear you say Bose is better, but yet all the points are in favor of Shokz. Anyway what really made a difference to me was the shocking difference in call mics quality, no way I’ll get Bose. Happy with the half price Shokz ( which I already have)

There are copy cat ear clips that you can buy in Indonesia ( I am on holiday ). I bought my wife LenovoThinkPlus XT83 II recently costing approximately US 8 Dollars including postage from China. It arrived 5 days after we ordered it. Look like the Huawei ones. My wife has been using them for 3 days , sound and battery life are good enough for listening to KZbin etc. We don't care about the microphone. Volume is a bit low if you only wear one compared to Shokz Openfit. Very comfortable. Just found that Baseus also have similar ear clips, I have ordered them for me to use , the Baseus ones cost a lot more at twice the price ( 17 US Dollars ).

OMG ! The "Open Fit's" microphone are Dramatically better. Which happens to be obd of my main concerns for work.

@nightowlgirl Ай бұрын

The Shokz mic was hands-down, dramatically better. I have these and have been pretty happy with them. I use them for just ordinary things like talking on the phone. I don't have to hold the phone or use the speakerphone. People find it hard to hear me on speakerphone...too much distortion. These solved that and I can walk around the house and talk. I also like them for walking the dog while listening to music. I can still hear people and cars that may be behind me so I haven't noticed them yet. Don't want the dog darting out toward a car! I actually forget I'm wearing them. They are pretty comfortable. For the price, I think they're a good buy. However, I don't really love the touch button. I haven't mastered it yet. Sometimes it seems to work and sometimes not.

What about wind noise when riding bicycle? By the looks of things I would guess that the Shokz would provide a more "silent" experience as they go more inside the ear. The Bose`s looks like they are more outside of the ear. I feel that all these reviews are forgetting this issue.

Personally i dont recommend bose because of the noise floor, theres a high hiss when I play the music, its pretty annoying when im trying to hear some quiet music or some asmr when im trying to sleep. I go to the store and test other bose ultra open earbuds and they all have the same problem. And bose ultra's mic is so low quality so i doubt that they mixed the mic function with the stereo function. So every time I play music, bose automatically open the mic and the high hiss comes out. Jesus that's the same problem with other bose QC headphones ,when they open their mic the same high hiss noise floor shows up. And the price of bose ultra doesn't match up with it's quality . But still it's really comfortable to wear and use , I really hope they could fix the problem by updating (cause I bought my bose ultra in Bic camera in Japan, and they can't refund me because it's bose's problem ,they did nothing wrong. witch make sense to me , bose published a production that have issue and seems they don't have a plan to fix it up. 😢)

I think you’re supposed to wear the ultra open lower in the ear than you are wearing in your video for better sound quality.

@Benzo97 2 ай бұрын

Yeah, they definitely sound better further down the ear, I do think they're slightly more comfortable the way he wore them though so I tend to change the EQ setting based on position. There's way too much treble further up to a point where I have to dial the treble down to -10 to compensate for the fit. But I do really like how I can change the sound and comfort based on the fit

For someone who'd only use them at home for some training and running. I only care about them not falling off and being snug when doing some exercises like bench press or crunches where you're placed horizontally. I don't care about taking calls with them, not the reason I would buy them anyway so would you say Bose are the no. 1 pick?

I don't know why regular calls are barely audible and music and everything else is fine. If you are a person who receives a lot of calls or spends a lot of time talking on the phone, DO NOT BUY THE BOSE OPEN ULTRA. I bought the Bose and my only complaint is that with very little surrounding noise you can barely hear the calls. For everything else they are excellent. If your goal is to have headphones to go to the gym, listen to music without worrying about them falling out of your ear and that are comfortable, then the Bose are for you. But regular calls are barely audible unless it is quite quiet.
