SHOKZ OpenComm2 Bone Conduction Headset, Open-Ear Bluetooth Headphones

These opencomm2 are amazing. I couldn't be happier with these. Usual scepticism when a work colleague recommended I get bone conducting 'earphones', so I read loads of reviews and had to sort which were applicable to me and my situation. While I realise these aren't suitable for everyone and aren't necessarily the best way to listen to music, I work as a Security Officer and can use these throughout a complete shift, on one charge, I have complete situational awareness, I can hear and use other comms (radios etc.), whilst other Guards become oblivious to their surroundings when they have their earbuds in, I can listen to podcasts, take phone calls (simultaneously), make phone calls, using Siri and Apple Watch in conjunction with these, without touching my phone (easy bt connectivity), I can join video meetings and still talk to other people in the room. They are comfortable and light, the sound quality is amazing and for a bonus for me, as they are bone conducting, I forget that I am actually partially deaf in one ear. They definitely suit me and my requirements.Very happy customer.

I don't normally leave reviews but this evening I had to do a conference call from my hotel room with a customer - except the WiFi wasn't good enough so moved to a quietish corner of the hotel bar. MIssed there was a table football table behind me which 10 minutes later had 8 people around it screaming..... Just to make it worse the fire alarms (loud sirems) went off and ended up on the street outside with 5 fire engines with sirens and ambulances. Was told by colleagues afterwards that no background noise was heard for the duration of the call - absolutely amazing at a fraction of the price of my Bose QC45s....

Its probably one of the best headsets ive come across in a long time. For drivers by profession I would recommend 100% as you can still hear everything around you while having voice enhancement features build in turned on.Only thing I would say to the creator is that all it really needs is a wireless charge feature but apart from that so far cant fault it. The person that complained about the zip its either a one off fluke or your being too heavy handed with the case because ive not gotten close to breaking that and im in and out the truck seems strong enough for purpose.The app makes updating easy and if you ever have a connection issue check your phone software before you start having an argument with the headset haha.The button features on the headset are really great making hands free easier too again any hgv drivers or drivers by profession you dont even notice its on your head. The vibrating when the volumes too loud is strange at first but again becomes second nature once used to the headset but massively wins over ear buds and what not

I use it every day. The mic is incredible. You can stand next to a pneumatic drill and people can only hear your voice as if you were in a studio. The sound is ok and good for spoken word content. Nice to have your ears free. The instructions provided are hopeless though. If you want to use it with a Mac you have to buy the version with the USB-C dongle though which is an expensive pain.What is more you have to download software to use the dongle either with a Mac or a Windows computer which is contradicted in the enclosed instructions which is a very annoying omission. You also have to update the firmware which is also far from intuitive and at this price a consumer product really should have got its act together again as the instructions tell you something completely different - and forces you to register the product through an app which then does not work with this particular headsetit’s lazy and very irritating and put me in quite a bad mood for a day or two trying to use the product until I worked it out for myself. Otherwise, if you’re using a tablet or a phone then the device pairs seamlessly and is so light & comfortable that you forget that you’re wearing it. It has decent battery life.Is it worth the money? I think it’s expensive but I use it more than my other Bluetooth headphones or headsets and will buy the same again when this one dies.

Great headset. V light. Connects simply. Sound quality is great. Sometimes feel like a buzz on my head. Overall v happy.

if there is background noise then sadly you wont hear a thing. At high volume the muscle of the anterior muscle which the headset rests on, merely vibrates and is disconcerting

Excellent product, very comfortable, and noise cancelling works really well. The multipoint pairing and the USB C charging port is a bonus, it avoids carrying additional chargers.

This is my third pair of Shokz headphones. Their technology is excellent. The first pair was for cycling and the second pair for my wife.I dont like wearing big over-the-ear headphones when working and was delighted to find these to use for the counless video calls we all seem to do now. And they are great.But the wireless adapter, which they say gives a wireless connection, was not included in the box. I got in touch with them, and it took them 4 days to respond. They didn't say they would send me a new one - they said I should send them photos of the box and what I had received. Did they think I was lying or hadn't looked in the box? Maybe they will take another 4 days to look at the photos. Then another 4 days to send me the adapter.Disappointing.

Microphone stopped working after 3 months

These are by far the best headset for a trucker, noise cancelling is phenomenal, crystal clear sound and very comfortable, only negative feedback I have is that I wish the battery life was longer, lasts 7-8 hours of continuous use and my work is 12-14 hours

Top product, draagt erg prettig. Je voelt m bijna niet. Erg duidelijk met gesprek en je verliest niet t contact met de buitenwereld door de open bone constructie. Top !!!!

Best phone headset ever! I have had three AfterShokz/Shokz OpenComm headsets and each one has been better than the last. I wear them all day and even most evenings. I have two still in active use. The OpenComm the best of them, with the best sound and USB-C charging. I had to replace my old favorite, a Shokz OpenComm, because it got too quiet to use after about 4 years of heavy use. I listen to podcasts, videos and have numerous phone conversations throughout my day. It is used almost constantly for something. The OpenComm2 was immediately a lot louder (useful in a noisy car) but the USB-C charging was initially a stumbling block for me. I am not able to open the charge port cover with a fingernail to save my life. I loved the easy way the charge cable attached to the previous magnet-powered charge port. It was basically a flick of the wrist to attach. I understand why they went with USB-C, but the port cover (a necessity) resisted all my efforts to lift its cover without a knife or tiny screwdriver. I discovered that the tip of a USB-C plug could open it pretty easily, but I don't know how long that will last until it wears down. They really need to enlarge the totally inadequate tab on the end of the port cover so that it can be opened easier. Other than that, this is the most perfect headset I have ever owned and I have owned a couple dozen over the last 30 years. I forget I even have it on most of the time and the sound quality is very clear. Even more important is the sound clarity for the person on the other end is exceptional, even when I am in a noisy environment. It is the most effortless to use and the highest quality of them all.

Genau das was ich mir davon erhofft habe! Mir ging es weniger darum, alle Nebengeräusche noch hören zu können, sondern um den Tragekomfort eines Headsets, was nicht auf dem Ohr aufliegt.Genau hier punktet das Headset für mich am meisten. Ich trage es täglich mehr als 10 Stunden, und bei JEDEM Kopfhörer, egal wie leicht oder gut gepolstert taten mir irgendwann die Ohren weh. Hier nicht.Das einzige Manko ist die Passform, es gibt keinerlei Anpassungsmöglichkeiten, was das Produkt einerseits sehr robust macht für seine Größe, aber auch dazu führt dass es nicht perfekt anliegt wo es soll, und dadurch etwas Lautstärke verloren geht. Da ich es jedoch ausschließlich für Meetings und ab und zu ein bisschen Musik im Hintergrund nutze, ist das prima über die Lautstärkeregelung zu beheben.Akku hält fast den ganzen Arbeitstag, ist aber auch locker innerhalb der Mittagspause wieder vollgeladen, wenn man mal wirklich 10 Stunden lang quasseln muss.Nur zu empfehlen!
