Bose Ultra Open VS Shokz OpenFit | Make The RIGHT Choice!

Thanks for this! I’m literally in the store trying to decide and this helped me decide

Ceo, do you have to charge the Bose ultras to completion prior to using the first time? FYI Thnx for the content.

Danke für den Vergleich.

Great video and very helpful! I like the way you presented the information and comparison. The mic test was an important part for me as I want to have the best possible sound for the other party on a call. Keep up the nice work!

I wear glasses and find that open buds that wrap over the top of my ears get really uncomfortable. I jumped on the Bose Black Friday sale and love the Ultra Open design, way more comfortable.

THE SHOKZ SOUNDS THE BEST WHEN TALKING, REAL TALK

Shokz , I picked from HK in one of the store at Decathlon. 3 Months later the product stopped working. It won't disconnect from the phone or Mac even after it's inside the charging case. The product is so bad that even though you manually disconnect its still goes and connect to the last known device. The battery drys off ... and left ear bud won't charge and right ear gets charged because some contact issue with magnetic. The product is failure ... and they sell at 60 // 70 or 80% discount . This company uses all 3rd grade chip and usb software made by some cheap company. How one can compare to product like BOSE !!! . The SHOKZ customer care took my product back.. more than 2 weeks still no sign of delivery or responding to emails. Observe the way the keep pushing new products every quarter ... these aggressive measures if the put on quality inside the product it will be worth time and value.

That mic test wtf!!!

Thank you for this! I have been really debating between the two and this helped a lot!

Wholly cow! Bose should be COMPLETELY ashamed with that difference in microphone quality. From what you showed BOSE should have just left the microphone off and not made such a crappy attempt!

that Mic test really helped me decide. I need it for work so the Openfit will be the winner. appreciate this review

The multipoint is amazing for an office setting - they're great for being aware of your surroundings. I can pause my music or lecture and answer the office phone or pause to participate in a conversation with the person in front of me, but I'm able to still hear everything going on around me with my audio going.

I’m down to try these. I got some of the Bose for a discount and they’re slick. I find that I use them Way more than my AirPod Pro 2 just because they don’t fall out of my ears and they’re quite comfortable. But the Shokz just seem better overall.

Hey looking fwd to future videos, I’m a Mail carrier and outside 6-8 hrs a day, I have Bose Powerbeats pro which I love but looking for over the ear and wondering which u think I should look at. Thank u for the videos I have been watching 😊

I bought both and I wish I bought the shokz first. Hands down shokz are way better

I tried on some of these in Media Market in Germany (Shokz open Fit) ..Passing through...I was really impressed and think I want an open ear for many reasons. I have closed earbuds and they have their place too. Being able to have several is sweet in itself!!! Thanks to your review I was very familiar with what to expect. Thank you for that!! Keep Rocking the reviews....

After watching so many reviews I see now that sound quality is subjective. I bought the Oladance OWS Pro and returned them because I also bought the Shokz Openfit and immediately loved the sound of the Shokz. It was very evident to me they had better sound, not even close. Yet in some reviews it is backwards. The Shokz got a really low sound quality score and the Oladance get top score. And here is another shocker for anyone interested in reading more. I really seek to find best sound quality on over ear buds. I don't like earbuds that stick into my ear canal. Therefore I've had a few: I even just bought the Bose Open Earbuds Ultra and was hugely disappointed, will be returning them. Every reviewer I saw said the sound quality was WOW on the Bose! They even compared it to the Shokz Openfit that I love and they said it beat the Shokz. So I bought it to try it for myself. I was really excited, something that will sound better then the Shokz?! Nope! Not to me. The Bose have a really sharp harsh sound, I don't like it, is that sound quality? They don't even have a nice bass sound like the Shokz. I've tried using the EQ but they are not even close to sounding as good and warm as the Shokz to me. Maybe I don't know what sound quality is but to me the Shokz Openfit have the better sound then the Oladance & Bose I've mentioned here. I have had and used all kinds of expensive earphones and still use some inside the ear earphones but very rarely this past year. I'm really into over the ear ones now. I’ve owned $500 wired in ear Shures 535, $400 Ultimate Ears Triplefi 10vi in ear phone buds, $550 AirPods Max, $250 AirPods Pro 2 and other cheaper ones. I hold these expensive models in high regards. The best one being the Shures 535. But what I’m striving for now is the best over earphone, not-inside you ear earphones. And it seems I will just have to try them for myself because everyone’s taste is subjective. In reality I really don’t need to keep searching because the Shoks Openfit really impress me. I think I just need to ignore reviews that say they are low sound quality and stop looking over the fence searching for a greener grass.

Just got the Bose for Diamond 60th Edition from QVC for $250 including tax ($20 off for new customer) and I gotta say: total disappointment. I don't agree the sound quality of Bose is better than the Shokz. These Bose are going back. I was at least hoping the sound quality would justify the price. I have heard other reviewers say the sound and the fit of the Bose were A+. The only thing they win is the design and fit. The design is cool how it hooks, but that is all. Shokz is hands down better and they feel great wearing them for hours.

Great review!!

I have the openfit for work use and they've been incredible.

great video, thank you!

I love my ultra open and qc ultra..I can never listen to music in stereo mode after listening to Bose immersion mode.

appreciate the review. the Bose is to expensive, and should be perfect for that price. the poor mic quality is a big negative.

Thought Charles Flenory was doing reviews 🫠😭

Bose clearly spent all their budget on hiring celebrities for their advertising and skimped on their product quality. The microphone was easily beaten by the competition.

Good review but you are wearing the Bose wrong.
To get the best results the speaker has to be pointed correctly towards your ear canal.
You’re wearing it parallel to the ground when it should be angled down so that it’s almost pointed downward.
Getting it aligned makes a big difference and not really hard to do…just not obvious.
Lots of people making that mistake

Great and far comparison. I have both. I listen to mostly music with jazz and heavier bass (especially since I'm a bassist). However, as a seasoned adult (67) I wear readers and sometimes glasses. I have yet to come across anyone talking about Openfit and wearing glasses. I would like to hear your thoughts. My opinion is Openfit is more difficult to wear with glasses than Bose.

Great review man, much appreciated!!!!!!!

After watching 50 videos on everything I Just purchased the Shokz open run pro 2 in orange will be shipped in 8 days

I have the Shokz and the touch controls are terrible and my ear is so small and oddly shaped that I have to turn my music up alot to even hear it because it doesn't fit my ear so well. I was considering the Bose, but idk anymore.

I’m listening to this on my Huawei free clips which I love ❤

What they won’t tell you is replacement for a missing earbud is impossible. You’re better off with an apple AirPod at least it can be replaced.

I loved the shokz as far as comfort and call sound quality but ive been through 2 sets of shokz and my wifes shokz all quit on us. They're good until they stop charging or wont turn on. I had the open comm which were awesome for me being a trucker and the open run all of them died in less than a year of having them.

Great review. Thank you. Will go with the Shokz.

Which of the two has the loudest sound?

thanks for the honest feedback

I love the shokz but I have killed everyone of them about 5 pairs 😢 Lost connection , one stopped working and stopped charging .

Helpful mic test, thank you

700th LIKE 👍

I am looking forward to this video.

I bought the Bose and they have honestly 'open ear' has changed my day-to-day life. I kind of want another option to try!

I work in a quiet office, and I put the bose on all day and let music trickle into my brain all day long and still lets me be completely aware. It just makes me happy.

btw, multi-point is coming to the Bose soon.

All I could think about while watching was: WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SHIRT FROM?

I had the Bose and loved them except for the call quality, it was horrible. Hated to return them, but the call quality was that bad. Hope they fix this.

thanks man. excellent review.

Are The shoks true multipoint ?

Shocks sounds much better on the phone mode!

I bought the Bose and i must say don’t waste your money on the bose

I don't know why regular calls are barely audible and music and everything else is fine. If you are a person who receives a lot of calls or spends a lot of time talking on the phone, DO NOT BUY THE BOSE OPEN ULTRA. I bought the Bose and my only complaint is that with very little surrounding noise you can barely hear the calls. For everything else they are excellent. If your goal is to have headphones to go to the gym, listen to music without worrying about them falling out of your ear and that are comfortable, then the Bose are for you. But regular calls are barely audible unless it is quite quiet.

Anybody that says the Bose is better than the Shokx is obviously a fanboy or girl..
