These here are the OpenFit they're from Shokz they're the open air style sport earbud that is
very good if you're a runner now if you're someone that trains a lot and you're after some earbuds
that are number one simply just not going to go anywhere with a comfortable light fit they're 8.3
grams only the weight of these and the dolphin Arc air hook means that they sit over your ear they're
not going to go anywhere they aren't going to move and the open air style means there's nothing in
your ear either so you can hear traffic co-workers any sounds around you now they have their own
Dynamic custom driver it's 18 millimeters by 11 millimeters they are ipx 54 water resistant
so you don't need to worry about running in the rain or getting sweat on these it will not be a
problem they've got their own app that I'll go over in this video and I just wanted to point
out that this is a sponsored video from shocks so included with the open fit you'll find a warranty
card which does have the serial number on the back and it's quality control pass a type A to type c
cable for charging them and a user guide and more information in various different languages
wait why is the shocks open fit are very light and they're super comfortable so they're just eight
grams and if you include the case the total travel weight is 75 grams here the quality of the case is
excellent now there is a magnet that keeps the lid down in place and it does not rat off I give
that a shake there is a little bit of rubber here at the top that's pressing down on them to hold
them into place to ensure that they're not going to be rattling around so we have a status LED when
you do put them into the pairing mode without just holding them both down for I believe it's
about three seconds three four seconds you'll see that change over and start flashing for it to then
start to enter the pier mode now they clip in here or should I say just fit in there with magnets you
can see the Pogo pop pin connectors so they sit in place there left and right very easy to put
into the case here and there is a status LED at the front to let us know the battery life now
there is a type c Port here at the back the charge time is one hour for the open fits and then the
case and those earbuds inside them if everything's completely flat that's then a two hour charge time
very nice smooth silicon all around the outside here they're a balanced lightweight fit they
don't feel like they're going to fall off this is their dolphin Arc air hook that they do call it
now it doesn't give a lot of pressure but it's just enough here now it has a 0.7 millimeter
ultra fine flexible memory wire within here okay and this is perfectly rounded off so it's a very
ergonomic design nothing here is uncomfortable in fact I can wear these for hours on end and
you don't get that pressure build up because the Open Air Design so not only do you hear the
ambient noises you can hear cars approaching other people your co-workers but they don't cause me any
fatigue any heat buildup and they just sit over your ear canal you can see the charging contact
points right there there is a microphone here too and the touch capacitive touch surface on
the back of them now the ipx 54 so you don't have to worry about getting a bit of water on
them sweating on them that's not a problem the case however that is not waterproof so you don't
want to get any water on that at but that's not normally an issue because you'll just be
wearing these now when you put them on you just need to give them a little bit of a Twist and
they certainly do not feel like they're going to come off with that really lightweight feel to them
and even running I'll do a bit of a test later on you really don't feel like these are going to go
anywhere solid great fit ergonomic design and just super comfortable they are using their own custom
driver here so it's a dynamic driver that's built out of composite diaphragm material using carbon
fiber and you see that they've got a rectangular design to them so that's 18 millimeters by a lever
now when I first saw this I thought well the bass probably won't be that great because it's first
off a open-air design and secondly you don't have silicon tips too okay so it's not going to sit in
your ear give you that good seal for base but I was really surprised with the base of these here
so they do have what is called their open base so they're optimizing that low frequency they're just
boosted up and I can tell you now they sound very good base wise I was a bit concerned but no they
have really surprised me so they do have their own customization laid out with the equalizers
and everything and they do have what is called their direct pitch technology on these two to
help make sure you're getting that sound delivered correctly and no one else is going to be here you
hear your conversations or your music when you are wearing them so the open fits are very nice really
comfortable really light with that dolphin Arc air hook and they're not moving about at all so I
can comfortably jog down here I don't feel like I need to keep pressing them in it doesn't feel like
they're going to pop out on me at all and because they are ipx 54 water resistant sweat resistant I
don't just worry about sweating on them a little and you can see yes I'm wearing sunglasses and
you can wear them with sunglasses without having them knocking up against them all the time I don't
hear that noise it's not being transmitted through them either so very comfortable great for running
and training the best part is I can hear all of the ambient sounds because of the Open Air Design
I can hear all the background noises I can even hear a cyclist approaching cars all of that that
you don't with other models and the fit is just so good running around here there's no way they
are going to drop out on me the shock's open fit do operate on the SBC codec or AAC codec and our
battery run time is up to seven hours on a single charge and 28 hours if you're using the charging
case and a five minute Quick Charge gives you an hour of run time with them shocks did not forget
about your highs so the triple is good it's not overly harsh it's detailed crisper than I was
expecting with this kind of open-air design and the base as I mentioned very good it's powerful
volume it's nice it can get quite loud but still not blocking off those ambient noises so you can
wear these safely when you are running and the mids and the vocals do sound good and if you're
not happy with how they sound out of the box with their standard equalizer well you do have
some other presets here with our application and you can go along and set your own custom equalizer
to get them sounding exactly how you like so you have some controls right here skip track previous
track next track there pause volume and you can customize the touch controls if again you're not
happy with how they are set up when you get them where you can go along and change that now the
application gives us our battery life of each of the open fits and even the case battery life so
that's very handy we get an exact percentage there and under the settings there is a firmware update
that I did have to apply and a few other settings in there you can also register the product now the
app here you do not have to register and login to use it which is another positive and if you want
to use the shocks open fit to watch for example Netflix here this is an episode of Fubar it's in
sync here the audio with the actors Mouse I don't notice really too much of a delay it's
maybe a split second where you do notice it is if you intend the game with these open air earbuds
and lastly a microphone sample so they can be used to handle calls we've got AI noise
cancellation with these mics and I'm recording at the moment directly into the timeline of my video
editor so this gives you an idea of what you can expect sound quality Wise from these microphones
now they do connect up really quick with Bluetooth 5.2 and getting them on is so easy and comfortable
so you just need to put it over your ear like so you turn them a little bit and that's it
it's on and it is not going anywhere and as I said in this video and when I showed you when
I was Outdoors just doing a bit of a jog test with them they are so comfortable you really don't even
notice they are there after a while and I can just wear these for hours on end without having
any issues whereas other styles they do apply a little bit of pressure on my ear you've got the
pressure inside your ear canal sometimes you get a little bit of fatigue there they start to hurt
a little and after around about the two hour mark or even less than that with those models I find
that I need to pull them out just give my ears a bit of ear to start with give them a bit of
a break and then put them back in but often I feel like I need to keep pressing them in
they feel like they're going to fall out a little bit some of the designs you do get with so-called
Sports earbuds but with this hook design it's solid it's not going anywhere as you saw for my
little test when I was running they are great so these get a huge thumbs up for the comfort
of wearing them you still get a deep base decent mids good highs so the treble they didn't forget
about that either battery run time of up to seven hours and then 28 hours in total uh with the case
here which is a decent size it is a little bit larger than in other models of course because
of the air hooks but they're very easy to fit in there not a problem and you have the ip54 water
resistance to them so sweating getting rain on them if you train out in the rain it won't
be an issue there so that's my video my hands on all of these here the open fit from shocks
