They’re also more expensive than traditional sporty truly wireless earbuds with ear hook designs that have impressed us like the Soundcore Sport X10 and JBL Endurance Peak 3.

Optimizing the design and material of open-ear earbuds, OpenFit is compact and light, weighing just 8. However, even the Shokz’s slim bass response has a special appeal: it’s very crisp, with a dry kick, and thus of a completely different nature than most in-ears, which usually emphasize the upper bass much more than the Miiegos, which are exemplary in this regard. This comes at no extra cost to you and helps us maintain the site, allowing us to continue providing valuable and unbiased information. The bottom line is that the small open-ears exude a bit of the charm of extremely expensive electro- and magnetostats like the legendary Stax Lambda Professional, which I reviewed for HIFI VISION over 30 years ago.

You’ll just need to play around and accept you’re not going to get the kind of sound performance to rival conventional true wireless earbuds. It means you should have no difficulty connecting to most of the devices in your home, except for really old devices. This makes sense considering the true wireless design and the fact there’s no neckband to accommodate. OpenFit was tested under controlled laboratory conditions and has a rating of IP54 under IEC standard 60529. They then also seem somewhat diffuse and harsh in the midrange, which spoils the performance of voices in particular.
