I love your video review. I have been finding an alternative for my Samsung Galaxy Buds Live (in terms of open ear style and comfort) and I think this is it! Will be getting this in pink! (bonus points for me😂)
Thanks for the great review - super helpful. You mentioned that the new shape relieves pressure on the tragus. Does it still press the tragus somewhat or does it avoid contact altogether?
Thank you, and apologies for the delayed response. It looks like they hover just away from the tragus and I certainly don't feel them touching them. That area of my ear is quite sensitive so it would be an absolute deal breaker if they did! Worth pointing out through, that they did touch if I moved my head 90 degrees - sounds kinda obvious but some stay very firmly in place even in those situations, but the OpenFit Air don't. I guess only really relevant if you're using them for pilates or yoga, something like that. Thanks again!
I got OpenSwim Pro. After using it for 2 hours, I woke up dizzy the next day. I think it was because of the vibration. If I replace it with OpenFit Air, will it be comfortable to use for a long time? I plan to use it for audiobooks. I use Galaxy Buds Live, which are very comfortable, but I need something that is not in my ear canal.
They look great. All of these type of headphones I've tried have been uncomfortable with glasses after a short while. You can see they are much slimmer than the 1more and soundcore ones, they are definitely slimmer than the oneodio ones I've been using and look lighter than the oladance ones I had before. Might have to give them a try. Shame about the battery life though
How are they on bike when speeds exceds 28kmh vs anker AeroFit Pro ? Areofit Pro are killed by the wind for me. I used baseus eli sport 1 and those are better in that scenario then areofit. But how are the openfit air?
The wind doesn't bounce off them in the way it does with the Soundcore, but they could be louder. I measured 84dB from the Aerofit Pro, which is quieter than the OneOdio OpenRock X and FIIL GS, and can leave them drowned out a bit if you're listening to podcasts that are recorded a little lower, for example
It looks like the OpenFit Air has a bit of a curve to it. Does that make it fit your ear any better or make the sound project better into you ear then the Shokz OpenFit?
@@ReganCipher not just regular phone calls. Not even if you make a lot of call, more like any at all. They have the same flaw as the samsung buds which are useless. Mic quality is awful even when driving with windows up people could not hear clearly many times. Exchanged them for the regular ones (non air) and the problem is fixed.
Best review I've seen of the Openfit Air so far. The sound and call samples are very useful. Thanks!
Thanks for the call quality tests

Thank you! I hope you like them ☺️
Great video as usual Regan! The new update to the shokz looks awesome!
Thx. I was about to buy these for prime day but I would use these for teams calls. Sound quality for calls is just not good enough for my use case.
Thank you for another great review! 👍

I dunno, comfort is something that's different for all of us, but I use them to cycle to work with every day (30km) and never even felt them
@ReganCipher wich model do you use ?
OpenFit Air

They are the best fitting for me of all of those options. The Truefree O1 is quite good, too, but not in the same league as these
Nice review

It does - I cover the fit benefits of the curvature around 3:25 in. It does also target the audio slightly better 👍
@@ReganCipher that's great to know, thanks!
I have 2 pairs
Audio is the most balanced even I set EQ flat
What do you like most? Openfit or Openfit air?
OpenFit Air for the way it fits, but if you need a good mic in noisy conditions, the OpenFit are probably a better option
Desing is great and the sound is pretty nice but the call quality becomes annoying when people can’t hear you and have to repeat myself 100 times 😢
Yeah if you have to make a lot of calls in noisy locations, it's where this model falls short unfortunately 😕
@@ReganCipher would it be phone calls, or also working call ?
What do you mean? Like Teams calls?
Exactly @@ReganCipher
