Shokz needs no introduction to active folks. The brand has been synonymous with bon-conduction headphones preferred by many runners and cyclists for exercise. I myself haven’t been the biggest fan of these, although I admit, they are ideal for those who want maximum spatial awareness.
Around a year and a half ago, the company decided to jump onto the open-ear headphone bandwagon with its Shokz OpenFit model. I found these one of the best running headphones that year, thanks to the decent audio quality, compact design and comfort they provided. They weren’t perfect, but they were good enough for everyday use as well as exercise.
