If you’re someone who enjoys exercising in the great outdoors, open-ear earbuds can be a game-changer by keeping you connected to your environment. However, this often means sacrificing bass quality. Enter the Shokz OpenFit Air Earbuds, designed to tackle this very issue. Currently available at a discounted price of $79.95—a $40 reduction—on platforms like Amazon, Target, and directly from Shokz, this offer marks their lowest price yet.

What sets the OpenFit Air apart from many other Shokz models is its use of traditional air conduction technology, akin to standard wireless earbuds, rather than relying on bone conduction. This shift results in a notably better bass experience. While they still don’t quite reach the level of traditional in-ear wireless earbuds, the sound quality is less muddled compared to many bone conduction options. Designed with ear hooks, the OpenFit Air promises a secure fit, though our wearables reviewer noted they might feel a bit less stable when paired with glasses.

Additionally, these earbuds boast a respectable battery life, offering up to six hours of playtime per charge, suitable for most exercise sessions. With an IP55 rating, they are also resistant to sweat and light rain, making them a reliable companion for both intense workouts and unexpected weather conditions.
