Our Verdict

Jaybird Vista 2 Truly Wireless

Shokz OpenFit True Wireless

Depending on your usage, you may prefer either the Jaybird Vista 2 Truly Wireless or the Shokz OpenFit True Wireless. The Jaybird are in-ear headphones with an ANC system. Even though it isn't very powerful, the ANC can still help block out some background noise. Their IP68 water resistance rating also means that you can submerge them in water without taking damage. They're able to deliver more bass too. In comparison, the Shokz have an open-ear fit so that you can stay aware of your surroundings while exercising outside. They won't block any background noise but have a longer-lasting continuous battery life.
