Today’s best Shokz Black Friday deal
These only recently came out, and we gave them 4.5 out of 5 in our glowing Shokz OpenDots One review – so this discount is fantastic, and is the first we’ve seen for them. Clip-style open earbuds hook onto your ear, and don’t go into the ear canal – they’re really comfortable, they leave you able to hear the world around you as well as your music, and they sound superb.View Deal
The OpenFit Air open earbuds aren’t as sonically capable as the dots, but they still do a great job and are fantastic value for money (especially thanks to this Black Friday deal).View Deal
These buds scored 4.5 stars out of 5 in our glowing Shokz OpenDots One review and they only recently released – so this is a fantatsic discount to score expecially as the first one we’ve seen for the open earbuds. Comfortable, solid audio, and a more affordable price than normal, what’s not to love about this Black Firday deal?View Deal
My fiancée uses her OpenFit Air open earbuds everyday because of their comfortable design, solid audio, and decent battery life. They’re an excellent budget open earbuds pair, especially thanks to this year’s Black Friday sales.View Deal
The Shokz OpenDots One open earbuds are one of my go-to pairs of headphones right now because of their design.
Sitting like an ear cuff, these buds securely hook around my ear in a way that’s both comfortable and secure – I work, walk, commute, and exercise wearing these buds with no trouble – and because they lack an over-ear hook, they don’t get in the way of my glasses, which can be an issue with other open ear designs.
Audio-wise, I think they boast a solid sound quality with a well-defined lower register and yet a treble that can still hold its head high, to borrow some apt descriptions from our Shokz OpenDots One review.
Plus, the open ear nature is ideal for enjoying your tunes while also staying aware of your surroundings – which I’ve found is ideal when I’m on a run, working, really every situation where I don’t want to be completely closed off.
For my fiancée, the OpenFit Airs are the go-to thanks to their comfortable design and solid performance – similar pros that I’ve levied at the OpenDots, though, as you’d expect the pricier Dots are better in terms of audio performance and battery life.
That said, at half the cost of the OpenDots, the OpenFit Airs are a really solid pick up if you’re on a tighter budget, and she uses hers every day, so you can take it from us that they’re a pair you won’t be disappointed by.

Bose is one of the biggest names in the world of headphones, and their reputation for quality is shown in these earbuds. The Ultra Open boast incredible sound, supreme power, and excellent battery life, making them a seriously premium pair of all-around buds. Now at a record-low price (as long as either black, ‘sunset iridescent’ or ‘moonstone blue’ finishes work for you), so there’s no better time to buy if you want open earbuds with super-rich sound.View Deal
This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for the AirPods Pro 2, and it’s an astounding value for earbuds this good. They sound superb, they have high-tier noise cancellation (though not as good as the Bose above), they have an unlose-able case, and they have the newer Live Translation and hearing aid features that also feature on AirPods Pro 3. An amazing deal for Apple users.View Deal
Beats’ latest sports earbuds get a nice discount, making it even more tempting to take advantage of their built-in heart-rate sensors, so you can track your runs with minimal other tech on you. In our Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 review, we also liked the head-tracked spatial audio, good stamina, huge range of features, and comfortable and lightweight fit – the latter is obviously super-important for sports headphones, and these deliver.View Deal
