The audio quality is truly astounding. I’ve tried running in bog standard BT earbuds from Soundcore which are normally very good, but when running with the active noise cancellation in “transparent” mode to allow me to hear what’s going on around me, the audio quality was quite bad.

These are incredible whilst running, even in strong gusts of wind that you’d typically experience close to sea level (can’t comment what it’s like up a mountain), I could still hear what was going on around me and my music. They don’t move at all whilst running, and the touch controls have worked whilst stood still but haven’t appeared to have worked whilst paired to my watch whilst running. Not sure if this is a user error or not though.

I'd previously had a pair of Shokz Open Move bone conduction headsets, and they were great for running and gym work, although i found them a little clunky for day-to-day work. As I was so happy at the quality of the product, I investigated what other Shokz products were available, and Openfit Air seemed to give me everything I needed. I ordered them on-line, and they were delivered (UK) within 3 days. They were easy to pair with my various devices, and the userguide was clear, although the operation is all very intuitive anyway.
I went out for a run with them paired to my apple watch, the sound quality was superb, and they were very comfortable to wear
I then spent most of the day with them connected to my phone, listening to music, and taking calls/teams meetings - again, all easy to do, and both the music and call quality was exceptionally good.
Battery life is good, and the charge time is quick and convenient
These are a superb addition to my "gadget" collection and I consider them to be good value for money

I bought these having tried a number of other less expensive headphones.
Use case is indoor rowing. I wanted open ear phones so I can hear the stroke rate better and to not have my heart beat thumping in my ear. AirPods were ok but as I get very sweaty often slipped out. Cheaper versions I have had were not dual Bluetooth, which was a pain changing from phone to iPad, especially if it was not in the same room. They were also poor to disconnect when the case closed. These Shokz have been great, simple to change from one device to another, turn off when the case is closed and comfortable. One last comment, sound is much better than expected. I often listen to the radio and the voices are very clear.

Openfit air review

I bought these for running, and they are comfortable and secure for that. AND they are so comfortable I forget I'm wearing them. That and the excellent sound quality means I'm now using them as my default headphones for most everyday music and calls, and other outdoor activities like hiking and gardening.

It's worth noting that these aren't bone conducting headphones, and that's not a problem, they offer excellent sound while maintaining situational awareness.

The sound quality is excellent and full, better than my in-ear headphones that were considerably more expensive (I don't use those any more). The call quality is also excellent.

There is a minor issue. When starting restarting audio tracks it sometimes starts in one headphone only and takes a few seconds for the other to join in. The sound will also sometimes cut out in one headphone mid-track, interacting with the touch controls seems to bring the sound back within a few seconds. Given the fantastic sound quality and comfort, I'm happy to overlook this issue, especially given it may be a software problem that can be resolved.

The controls are intuitive and functional. They are a little sluggish to respond, but completely fine once you are used to them. There is no option to play the previous track, only the next track, so if you accidentally skip forward (I am clumsy like that) you have to get your device out to skip back. Not a major challenge, but support for more controls (e.g. with triple tap) would be welcome.

Battery life is good and charging is fast.

The shopping experience was easy and unobtrusive.

Overall I'm extremely pleased I bought these headphones. As mentioned there are some minor issues, but the quality and comfort of the Openfit Air make them a more than worthwhile choice. I've only given 4 stars because of the minor sound issue, I'll happily change my review to 5 stars once that is resolved. I thoroughly recommend.

I have been using Shokz products for a few years and these are my favourite so far.
The carrying and charging case is really neat and easy to carry round. The headphones are extremely comfortable, with great sound and allow me to continue hearing external sounds for saftey.
Great for running, cycling and hiking. Always feel really secure.
Best product yet, I prefer them to the band style.
