The Shokz OpenDots One earbuds offer impressive sound in a chic clip-on design

Shokz 's OpenDots One are designed for outdoor runners who want to enjoy music with the full openness of their environment.

The 11.8 mm drivers deliver crisp and lively sound to keep runners fueled on long runs.

The open-ear design is clutch for increasing ambient awareness, no matter where you are.

The feature set is small, and the touch controls are spotty, but for exercisers, these are runner-friendly buds.

The OpenDots One generate up to 10 hours of playtime, with the wireless charging case holding an additional 30 hours .

The Powerbeats Pro 2 sound better than most bone conduction headphones and open earbuds.

The Shokz app is low on upscaled features, Dolby Audio , multipoint technology, and the Find My Buds mode are nice to have, but you get more from competitors.

The lack of special features isn’t appealing either; most standard sports buds come with an ambient listening mode and extra perks (e.g., ANC , shortcut widget, spatial audio). The Shokz OpenDots One are priced at $ 199.99 and can be purchased on Shokz ’s website, as well as popular online retailers like Amazon and Best Buy ..
