Correction: In the intro to the video I incorrectly referred to the OpenFit Air as using bone conducting technology. It is in fact air conducting technology. Shokz uses bone conduction tech in OpenRun and OpenSwim, but not the OpenFit Air.

Both designs need to be offered in CLEAR, not just white, black, or OMG pink.

[@motivatedtravel]

To be fair, my daughter loves the pink ones, lol.

[@stickoutofthemud]

@@motivatedtravel Fair enough.

hello I had the open fit 1 month ago and a few days ago I fell a breeze while I arrived at my house and forget that I had them on and now I hear perfect but people listen to me away, IP protection withstands the breeze for about 4 minutes, thanks in advance

[@motivatedtravel]

I'm really sorry, but I don't quite understand what you're asking here? It sounds like it's a technical support query? IP protection is about water and dust, not wind. You might need to contact Shokz directly for advice if you think there is an issue.

Stick with the Original OpenFit .The bass resonance and transparent ability is superior.

[@motivatedtravel]

Yep, if you've got the money, the extra sound quality is likely worth the upgrade.

[@capturedbyfabian]

I disagree. Aside from their claims I tried both and even one on each ear playing at the same time to the extent of switching ears arrangement and the fit is much more clear.

[@Todbro1]

You may want to confirm, but I dont think these are bone conducting.

[@motivatedtravel]

Thank you so much for flagging. Slip of the tongue; you're right, these ones are air conduction. Some of the other Shokz headphones are bone conduction. Doh! Will pin a correction post. Many thanks for pointing it out.

@@motivatedtravel air conduction?? You mean like normal sound?

[@motivatedtravel]

@@esurfer89 My understanding is that it still uses vibrations as its means of producing sound, but instead of those vibrations going into the bone, they go into the ear drum. (Or it's all marketting speak.)

In a video where hands and fingers are visible, one should also have well-groomed hands and fingernails.

Her hands look fine to me.
