### 4/5 — Why did I waited so long

*2026-08-28, version 6.0.1*

I should have bought Shokz long time ago, am so happy with this product. It feels good around my ears and I could hear everything around me. It doesn’t look bad either, need to make the battery to last a little longer. Love your product

### 4/5 — Love them

*2026-08-28, version 6.0.1*

Easy to use, no issues

### 5/5 — Shokz dots 2

*2026-08-27, version 6.0.1*

Just received my shokz dots 2 and downloaded the app. It was nice because I could easily register my dots, in case of needing to use warranty. I was able to download the latest firmware and learn the prompts of the dots just from using the app as soon as I opened them. Hope it continues to be easy and uncomplicated to use.

Muy buen producto

### 4/5 — Headphones are great; App not so much

*2026-08-25, version 6.0.1*

While writing this review, I’m listening to music with my OpenFit 2+ headphones, but the app can’t seem to find them. I have closed and restarted it twice and checked my settings to confirm they’re connected, but the app still says “Searching”. Fantastic product otherwise, though.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-08-25, version 6.0.1*

Easy to use app to adjust my settings or check volume of my devices

### 5/5 — Openfit 2

*2026-08-25, version 6.0.1*

First time customer of there products. As a former military member I have high expectations on products I’m using. Not only thinking of design, quality sound, and durability. Shokz truly knocks it out of the park with their products! The quality of and build is that of one of a kind, bar none. For being just getting back into long running and gym workouts my expectations were lower than what most would have. They truly have impress me and made me a lifetime customer. On top of that their app is designed perfectly. It’s an easy set up on the app and you can personalize what it is you want for your product from features to equalizer setting!

### 1/5 — Costco model not supported

*2026-08-27, version 6.0.1*

Review title says it all.  I bought the behind-the-head model from Costco only to find the app doesn’t work with them…at all. Will not connect.

### 1/5 — Dark Mode Gone?

*2026-08-27, version 6.0.1*

I believe my app has updated as of recently and the number 1 thing I noticed was that the option to change the app appearance in the app has been taken away. I am now stuck with the bright assaulting white background when using the app. If the option is still available then it is not easily found because I’ve searched for it all through the app and no luck finding it so I assume it’s gone. If the option to being back the app appearance to dark mode or any other dark color other than white that would be most appreciated.
Best,
Customer

### 1/5 — Where did dark mode go?

*2026-08-25, version 6.0.0*

V6.0.0 REMOVED dark mode. WHY? The white-dominant background is way too bright!

### 1/5 — Where headphone?

*2026-08-24, version 6.0.0*

Connected to my headphones (OpenDots ONE to iPhone 17 Pro) exactly once. Now it doesn't detect them at all. Reinstalled, reconnected, forgot & reconnected again, etc. 

I'm listening to them right now though. They never disconnected, they just have the shiddiest touch controls that literally only trigger on accident so I wanted to turn them off. Too bad I can't because an app I really shouldn't need to sign into also plain doesn't work.

### 1/5 — Can't find my device

*2026-08-22, version 6.0.0*

This app can't search for my Bluetooth Shokz. Rubbish

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2026-08-19, version 5.10.0*

How do you as a company make an app for your product then have a big entire list of unsupported products? Awful. Deleting because apparently it’s useless and can’t be used to adjust any settings. Great work team!

### 1/5 — Won’t allow me to create account

*2026-08-17, version 5.9.2*

I have enter email gotten code created password, hit register and it says email is already registered.  Great.  Went to log in and it says email address is not registered.  Tried again- 3 times.  Same result every time.  Can’t register and can’t log in.  Too bad.

### 1/5 — App a waste of time

*2026-08-17, version 5.9.2*

Bought the Shokz open come to 2025 edition headset. The manual that came with it indicated I should download the Shokz app for more features. I download the app, it’s not detecting that my headset is already connected. After some poking around the app, I finally find a list of devices and my headset is listed as Not supported.  Why direct users to an unsupported app?  Waste of my time.

### 1/5 — App launches itself randomly

*2026-08-05, version 5.9.2*

The App launches itself Randomly, app colour settings don’t work or change with system, so why have it in the app. Doesn’t seem to be official supported on iPad. The App in general is very poor. Not sure where the headphones are as good as my Aeroplex Afterskokz.

### 1/5 — Very good!

*2026-08-04, version 5.9.2*

No complaints

### 5/5 — Comfort and sound

*2026-08-29, version 6.0.1*

The sound is uncompromising and the fit very comfortable. I do not like in the ear, earbuds because they make my ear canal itchy and block out the surrounding sounds. When walking it is important to be able to hear your surroundings for safety, these provide safety and a sound experience that is extremely comfortable.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-08-28, version 6.0.1*

I love that the app shows you battery percentage since you can’t tell on the case. I have the runner and air fit. The multi connect feature is super neat too

### 5/5 — All day power

*2026-08-28, version 6.0.1*

Well I got up at 5am and put these in n about 6am it is now 16:19 and they have 60% battery left. Sometimes they get heavy on the ear but hats get you sore too. I excellent sound easy to wear.

### 5/5 — CB

*2026-08-28, version 6.0.1*

Nice headphones, nice app

### 5/5 — App boost the ability of your already awesome headset

*2026-08-28, version 6.0.1*

Headset does everything it promises add the app, and it enhances all of the headset abilities and giving you control of your sound. With the app an equalizer mode is available and you may boost your volume as well and so much more if you read audible book it has us me well. This headphone and app combo gets the job done in all situations whether work, play, or rest ….

### 5/5 — Cool new hotness

*2026-08-28, version 6.0.1*

Awesome sauce!

### 5/5 — First of its kind

*2026-08-28, version 6.0.1*

Had these for a few months now, used them in multiple runs including 5k & 10k Races, trail runs, long run weekends and Norwegian 4x4s. They’ve held up great and I can still hear the people I run with and my surroundings.

### 5/5 — Clean Interface

*2026-08-27, version 6.0.1*

No filler, just what is needed on the app. Not like any other app nowadays

### 5/5 — New to me

*2026-08-27, version 6.0.1*

I recently purchased a set of Shokz and like them very much. This is the first set of open ear headphones; I find that I can comfortably wear them all day and particularly happy when wearing them in bed.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2026-08-27, version 6.0.1*
