Love these earbuds!
Really pleasantly surprised by how much I love these! Backstory: I was a Samsung girlie for a long time, and really loved my Galaxy FE buds. Unfortunately the left earbud stopped working within a year of getting them (luckily they were under warranty and I got it replaced/fixed, but then the left one stopped working AGAIN within another 6 months, and the right one about two months after that. Sigh). But honestly, I loved them enough that I was going to just get them again and hope for the best… that is, until I read the reviews and saw SO many people complaining about how quickly they stopped working. So I decided I didn’t want to risk it and went on the hunt for something different. I exhaustively read lots of reviews on several different earbuds, and was honestly getting discouraged until I read the reviews on these and saw that they were… gasp… actually mostly positive! I was intrigued.Then I remembered that a friend had highly recommended this brand, but the bone conducting headset (Open Run Pro2). I knew I would rather have individual earbuds vs something that wrapped around the back of my head, so the Open Dots seemed like they might be a better fit for my needs. I was skeptical that they would be too big and clunky, and that I would miss the noise cancelling option of my old ear buds. But to my surprise, I’ve really enjoyed them and think that I’m a convert now!They were super easy to set up and connect to my phone (had to download an app to tweak settings, but that was super simple too). They are comfortable and light despite being larger than your average bud. They also feel quite secure on my ear, and I’m not really worried about them falling off. I wear glasses and they don’t get in the way at all (which I had worried about with the Open Run Pro 2 headset). I like that the buds are interchangeable (they both work in both ears). The sound is really very good for being “open air” style, enough so that I don’t miss the noise canceling as much as I thought I would. Sometimes in extra loud situations (like someone talking loudly near you), it’s annoying not to have, but for the most part it hasn’t been a deal breaker for me. I actually kind of enjoy being able to hear the ambient noises of my surroundings more than I thought I would. When I have them paused, I can hear everything around me, including if someone needs to talk to me (aka I don’t have to take the earbud out of my ear in order to hear them, which is really nice). I got the pink ones, and I really like the color… the shiny part is like a rose gold, and the matte part is more like a dusty rose color (so it feels more classy, and not punch you in the face pink). They also have a 2 year manufacturers warranty, which I think is awesome compared to the single year that most companies offer.Cons:- They aren’t the most responsive to the double tapping. Shokz did release a firmware update to make them MORE sensitive, but then it kind of toes the line of being TOO sensitive/responsive, so I currently have that option turned off. It still works, it just usually takes a couple of intentional double tap tries. Pinching the battery part on the back of the ear works more reliably to pause/play, but I’m just so used to the double tap from my old set that I just do it instinctually.- The notification noises are quite loud. For awhile, I was having an issue when I had it paired to both my phone and my tablet, that when I walked in and out of range from the tablet while listening to music on my phone, it would make an unnecessarily loud notification noise in my ear as it disconnected/reconnected each time. I finally had to unpair it from my tablet altogether because it was driving me crazy. If that notification noise could be adjusted (or at least just lowered), that would be a huge improvement!Overall, I’m very happy with these and I’m glad I took the chance on them!! Here’s hoping they last longer than my Galaxy FEs did!

Absolutely Fantastic!
I have tried every type of earbud under the sun, and like many others have found nothing that has both the staying power (doesn’t fall out) as well as quality sound. These are 100% my new favorite product!1) super easy to pair with my iPhone2) easy operation of taps for sound control and play/pause or answer/hang up on calls3) SUPER lightweight! Wore them all day and barely noticed4) Excellent sound quality for the person you are calling – got great feedback from my aging parents that they could hear me fine, even with road noise when driving.5) Excellent sound quality for me – I LOVE LOVE LOVE that I can clearly hear what I am playing, and also what is going on around me…so it doesn’t cancel noise, but that is my personal preference as I don’t like blocking out the world.6) Size is great – not big and clunky7) Great battery life and easy to use while wearingI may get some for my family member’s for birthdays or holidays!!!

Uncomfortable for me
I really wanted to love these! But they were very uncomfortable on my small ears. Almost felt like they used magnets to make them stay clipped on the ear and it pinched/put pressure on the thin part of ear and was uncomfortable for me. I have a cheap pair of open ears and was really looking to upgrade but these did not work for my ears.Sound was great tho! Way better than another pair I have from a popular brand, that starts with Anke. Super easy to tap and pause it and they intuitively stopped playing when removed which was awesome.Be prepared if you do return for it to take weeks for a refund tho

These earplugs are awesome! Very lightweight, very comfortable and the sound quality is brilliant. These earplugs are comfortable and they don’t fall off, I use them in a gym and outside running, they don’t even move slightly so very stable and secure.

Suono cristallino e bassi profondi. Si indossano con facilità e non danno alcun fastidio anche dopo diverse ore.

Ich verwende hier den Text meiner Beyerdynau Zero Rezession, da beide darin vorkommen. Aber der Shokz die Nase vorn hat.Ich favorisiere jetzt schon länger die offenen Clips als Ohrhörer. Kommend vom AirPods 2,3 und 4, da ich die Pros nie mochte und auch nicht das Ohr zu stopfen mag. Ich nutzte meine Kopfhörer meist für Homeoffice/Office und natürlich für Musik hören.Muss anmerken die Mikroqualität reicht mir bei keiner der Lösungen, die ich getestet habe. Nutze immer parallel ein gutes Mikro, im Office ein DJI Mic und im Home Office ein XLR Shure. Ich muss dienstlich mit Windows arbeiten und da versagt eigentlich jede Bluetooth Verbindung. Daher kann ich die Sprachqualität nicht fair beurteilen, ist Windows geschuldet. Mit dem iPhone ist es super, nur hilft mir das für meine Zwecke nicht weiter.Zurück zum offenen Clip Hörern, sie sind perfekt für meinen Einsatz, sehr guter Sound und einen super Tragekomfort. Meine ersten Clips waren die HUAWEI Freeclips. Fand ich schon sehr gut und ich wusste ab da, zu Hause in ruhiger Umgebung, immer Clips. Die Freeclips hartnäckig aber noch Nachteile, rechts links Orientierung und der der Sound ist nicht so super, dass absetzen etwas fummelig, aber schon eine 9 im Komfort.Dann habe ich von den Amiron Zero gelesen und da ich Beyerdynamic sehr mag, habe ich auf die Auslieferung gewartet und gewartet und wurde ungeduldig, um die Zeit zu überbrücken, habe ich mir die Shokz OpenDots ONE gekauft ;-)Ich muss sagen, eine Offenbarung, Sound 9/10, Tragekomfort 10/10 , Bedienung 10/10 einfach super.Trotzdem habe ich die Zero auch gekauft, sie haben das selbe Level wie die Shokz, aber unterstützen zur Zeit keine zwei Geräte zeitgleich. Daher bei Bedienung 8/10. Vielleicht kann das ja per Software nachgereicht werden, dann hätten sie die Nase vorn, weil etwas günstiger.Ich behalte sie zum reinen hören trotzdem. Die Shokz für Homeoffice mit zwei Geräten. Im lauten Office nutze ich die Bose quietcomfort ultra 2, ANC an und Stille, da funktioniert nichts anderes.Abschließend, ich kann die OpenDots nur empfehlen, ein wunderbares Stück TechnikDa ich von Shokz nun ziemlich angetan bin, teste ich vielleicht noch eine Shokz ANC Version und lasse sie gegen meine Bose antreten, wer weiß, vielleicht habe ich dann nur noch Shokz im Einsatz.
